Japanese DS/PSP market share with time.  Of course as total  hardware sold increased, change from week to week became small.

Parodying people taking bad pictures of themselves in mirrors, I took one of myself in a mirror with the flash blotting out my head.  And if that hadn't been enough, I was also wearing my Darth Vader helmt and a hat on top of that.  Most of the responses to this image, though, were imploring me to use Windex to clean the mirror.

Happy family.  With the GBA Movie Player, I could have NES emulation on any GBA-compatible device.  Since it could be removed and still have the program in memory, I could get it going on all my GBA/DS machines.  Combined with my new PSP running its own emulation, I have them all playing Punch-Out!! together.  Bonus DS mannequin hand playing with the stylus.
