Guitar Hero III for Wii is awesome.

I just thought I'd mention that. I got reasonably good, at least in the 'easy' level, pretty quickly. I beat the game, which I've never really had the patience to do before in other games. I'm sure not having to compete for the TV set helped a little... :-)


Also, it's not a major change, but I've upgraded to the current version of Movable Type.
