To Wii or not to Wii


For a while now I've been contemplating purchasing a Nintendo Wii. This weekend, I finally got permission from the wife to buy one, along with the Wii Fit Plus. My justification is that I need to exercise more with a method that will keep me motivated. I personally hate most forms of exercising and was looking for a way to make it more entertaining. We have a treadmill in the corner of our living room that I've been sporadically using. Walking on the treadmill is just plain boring. For the short time that I have tried the Wii, I have had fun exercising. It hasn't only been fun for me, but entertaining for the whole family. My wife and son enjoy watching me make a fool out of myself trying the different exercises. My son has even tried getting into the action. He's not bad for a three year old.

Computer Control Via iPhone & iPod Touch


I found an app for my iPod touch that let's me remotely connect, view, and control my work laptop. I'm not quite sure what kind of use I'll have for it, but I don't care. Just the fact that I can do it is way cool. If interested check out RDP Lite in the app store.
