Xbox Kinect

Bode and Ashley have been playing Once Upon a Monster on our new Xbox. It's a pretty nifty setup. There is an IR sensor that captures images within its field of view. Prior to playing, you go through some recognition exercises that enable the machine to recognize you. When someone enters the camera's view, the display says something like, "Bode recognized." The games are interactive, and require you to do some running, jumping, squatting, and catching. Here are some photos of Bode and Mommy in action.
Today, we invited Emma over to play. She's our neighbor's granddaughter. Bode loves Emma. He was hesitant to play on the Xbox with Mommy, but when Emma shows up, he dives right in. It was fun watching the two of them play.
Ashley and I are a bit sore today. We ordered the Insanity workout videos and have done two workouts. It is quite a workout. Plus, I'm sore at USAFA for going for two at the end of the game in their game versus Toledo. I was thrilled they went for two, but they tried a fake PAT, which was foolish because I think everyone in the stadium was ready for that call. Oh well. Big Auburn game tomorrow night. War Eagle to all!
