The hinge on India’s pink DS lite broke the other day, which left the top screen hanging on precariously for dear life, so rather than risk the wrath of an eight year old if the thing did give out I got a replacement case. I opted for a nice purple colour and armed with a trusty triwing screwdriver, miniature screwdriver set and a couple of young helpers I replaced the case.

I opted to keep the original pink DS’s buttons, D-pad and screen decals – I think the end result is quite fetching.

Just stumbled across this cartoon via B3ta; it makes the case that Aldous Huxley was the more prophetic author compared to George Orwell, contrasting Brave New World against 1984. It’s true that Orwell may have enriched the English language more than Huxley (Newspeak, Big Brother, Room 101, Doublethink etc.), but Huxley may well have had the more accurate vision.
