My Girlfriends New Hobby

These days my girlfriend seems to be addicted to playing Wii Fit. While I have to admit some of the games are pretty fun it also has the added advantage of being a great fat burner. While it isn’t the end all be all of weightloss there is something to be about being able to have so much fun while increasing physical activity. The Wii Fit also has the added benefit of distracting her while I play my video games in the other room.

While it is a far cry from playing Fallout 3 on PS3, I have to admit there are some pretty cool games available for the iphone. Currently I am addicted to Marble Maze Ultra. If any of you remember the old marble maze wooden board games from the 80’s this is the video version. While its not the most in depth game in the world you can clearly see from this video why some one would find it addictive.

Quirky Iphone Apps

I just ran across a quirky iPhone app. It is definitely tailored for a certain niche and not for everyone, it gives news and information on mesothelioma.

this is a summary from the iPhone apps store

About Mesothelioma News, Support and Information
This webapp contains news, updates and information for those who suffer from the lung cancer mesothelioma, also known as asbestos cancer, or who know someone who does. Formatted for your iPhone or iPod Touch, we bring you only the best daily resources about this deadly disease from around the web.

It boggles my mind how many different apps there are for the iPhone. This is just another example of what one can find if you look hard enough. Actually now that I think about it I didn’t even have to look for it, I just sort of stumbled across it.

Although Thursday was the actual start of the 2008 NFL season this Sunday is where the action really takes off. If you are a football fanatic (like I am) there is a chance that you may play fantasy football as well. Prior to this year getting on-the-go access to things like league news, player updates and of course your roster hasn’t been widespread. This season all of that changes as many of the major fantasy football providers are finally doing there part to help you stay connected to your league no matter where you may be.

Those with a Sprint phone can access exclusive content thanks to a partnership with the NFL.

Verizon customers that are Verizon VCAST VPAK subscribers can manage their ESPN fantasy football leagues directly from their phones.

CBS Sportsline fantasy football players can set their lineups by phone through the use of the Fantasy Football Companion which allows you to access your team by phone.

Starting this season Yahoo! has rolled out a free mobile version of its fantasy football service so you can get your game on no matter where you may be.

As you can see starting with the 2008 football season fantasy fanatics can truly stay connected 24 hours a day 7 days a week no matter where you are.

Yesterday Sprint launched NFL Mobile Live and to celebrate the launching they have announced they are giving away tickets to the Super Bowl. In and effort to encourage people to use the new service Sprint is giving away 17 trips to the Super Bowl. Now through the end of the football season anyone who uses Sprints new NFL service will be entered into a drawing.
