Getting in Shape while playing

I happened on this link from Digg and became interested. I am confined to a wheelchair from my Multiple Sclerosis. I have not let weight gain become a factor in my inactivity. I am inactive, overly so. I keep my weight in check with a careful diet, only delicious non-fatting food for me, sushi is my favorite. Anyway the link was interesting to me ’cause I’m a big kid and I don’t want to be inactive. The write up is about the Nintendo Wii and I think it may be the perfect way to be a kid and get me active without the pressure. While the $250 is not expensive it is a bit out of my reach being the out of work wheelchair bound contractor my life has become. Not looking for a handout but when I get my hands on a Wii I’ll let you all know..::{WiiNintendo.net}::.



Th Better than Uranium TreeHugger

I am not a nuclear physicist and I do not play one on TV (I can’t even spell it) but I see the worth in this idea.

Blog29586: Comparing VoIP Providers For Small Business Solutions

As any regular reader of this blog might able to tell (I know you’re out there) my family drives me crazy. I suspect that all families of bright intelligent people may have this in common. Not to say that I’m one of those bright intelligent people but I love my family and their pecuralities. I live in Japan and they’re in the U.S. so I stay in touch with them by my occasional visits and by phone (which I think describes many families). Not to go broke, with my lame out of work ass, I use Skype which suits me great. I can’t speak for them but the sound quality has gotten better with the internet getting affordable at higher speeds and the VOIP services getting much better at their jobs. I’m happy with Skype and have recommended to friends to use the same. This blog has gotten some hits in the recent past and I would like to recommend to them to use Skype. Something else I bought recently was the Belkin Wi-Fi Skype Phone which sounds great (one caveat is that my internet speed is unheard in the U.S. at 100 Mbits per second). I found this blog that talks about the pros and cons and rates the various servers without the obvious leanings I’ve demonstrated here. That’s my two cents about this whole internet tubes thing.
