Today we moved 10 cubic yards of top soil. How was your day?

WiiFit

Working for Precor, I try to take advantage of the perks that I have available to me. We have a pretty awesome free gym less than fifty yards from where I work.

I also maintain a fairly healthy diet, and am fairly conscious of my overall physical health.

That being said, I’m always looking for fun new ways to stay motivated. I have definite goals in mind with where I want to get to physically, and while I’m well on my way, I’m not there yet.

As such, I was frequenting IGN yesterday, and came across this blog about WiiFit.

I’ve owned a Wii since around Christmas time, and I’ve found it pretty fascinating. Some games employ the motion sensitive aspects of the machine to better use than others, but overall it’s a pretty unique experience.

It would be fun to see where this sort of thing goes in the future. Certainly the power of computers is processing data – and I think a more interactive approach to health that involves personalized data tracking of things like weight and overall health is a fun way to keep the user involved and motivated.

Perhaps I shall keep you updated as I go!

YouTube

No actual new picture today, but perhaps something more interesting. Several weeks ago I acquired a new HD video camera, and had been making videos ever since. Here's a link to some of the video I've edited:

Unfortunately YouTube currently makes you compress the file size, so it's significantly lower quality that it looks directly from my camera, but with technology improving all of the time, perhaps eventually it will look better.
