I decided to do nearly nothing over the Easter holiday. For those that know that school I'm teaching at, it means 4 days off. (Yep, an extended holiday set for travel.) Traveling did not really factor into my schedule this weekend. What did happen is I received a cracked Xbox and started to play games. Fable...... done. Half-life 2...... nearly done. A lot of time was spent playing the little black box. On top of everything else, it has a ton of emulators and various early games put on it. It was an early Christmas present.
This also made me want to get a Wii. This is a decision that wasn't made lightly. I've been mulling it around for about 9 months. (Since I left California.) Now, trying to be an educated purchaser sent me to Internet. I searched basic terms like "Wii" and other similar terms and all of the sudden, I found a YouTube video of a guy talking about head tracking using the Wiimote. I just had to watch. If you're interested, the guys name is Johnny Lee and his website is http://www.johnnylee.net.
After a bit of other research, I found some very cool projects that a lot of people are working on. "WoW!" is all I can say. It's amazing what these people are doing.
