The Anti Couch Potato Video Game

The Anti Couch Potato Video Game 11/18/2003 04:29 PM
One of the complaints about video games is that they encourage kids to sit around without moving for hours, which isn't the most healthy thing in the world. In some ways that's started to change with games that involve the "dance pad", but it looks like more active gaming options are coming down the road as well. CNN is reporting from Comdex about a new gaming device called the "Action Stick" that is designed to make you work up a sweat while you play video games. Instead of pushing random buttons with your thumbs, you're expected to punch and kick. The device takes those actions and translates them into actions in the game. They claim they did a study saying it's a better workout than running or swimming. Apparently, even Bill Gates took a few swings to test it out. I wonder if CNN caught that on video? You could combine it with the famous "dancing Steve Ballmer" videos and get the entire Microsoft Management Workout Video.

Low-carb potato

Low-carb potato 06/07/2004 03:51 PM
I've been on the Atkins diet for two months and my potato jones just won't go away. That's why I was thrilled to read that a new "low-carb" potato will be available come January. Developed by a seed company in the Netherlands, it's not genetically modified either. The bummer though is that this variety of spud is in reality just lower carb. According to potato expert Chad Hutchinson of the University of Florida, 3.5 ounces of the new potato contains 13 grams of carbohydrates, compared to 19 grams in a comparable chunk of Russet Burbank potato.

Hutchinson said it is due in part to the lower specific gravity, which relates to the amount of starch in the potato, compared to the more widely recognized Russet Burbank baking potato. "The smooth, buff-colored skin and light yellow flesh will make this potato an attractive and tasty alternative in many traditional potato recipes," he said.

Potato Gun Shoots Through Brick Wall: This video shows a seriously powerful potato gun. When you're shooting projectiles through brick walls, it's time to reconsider whether or not this is a hobby. Reminds me of the home-mad e flamethrower guy.

(And if you think potato guns are just fun and games, ask this guy. A potato gun, a frog, and some bad judgement left him blind.)

Crowson TES 100 Couch Shakers

Crowson TES 100 Couch Shakers 07/19/2004 08:19 AM

If you've ever said, "You know, I just didn't feel Jet Li's punch right in my ass," when watching a DVD -- this is an especially strange thing to say if it's not even a Jet Li movie -- then Crowson Technology's TES 100 "tactile transducers" might be worth keeping an eye, or ass, on. For $650, the TES 100 Couch Kit fits under the four feet of your couch and converts the low bass rumble of your stereo system into a physical rumpshaking effect that replicates the effects of a giant subwoofer without actually producing any (on-purpose) sound. CNet has a fairly technical and fairly positive review, although for $650 (a $350 one-transducer version is available) you'd hope Crowson would include the wire necessary to connect the thing.

Morfeo Couch with Eyestalk Lights

Morfeo Couch with Eyestalk Lights 08/09/2004 07:27 AM

There's not a whole lot of detail available about this Morfeo couch with hide-away bed, but really, how much information do you need? It's a couch with two bendy lights at the corners to be easily positioned for reading and other couch-bound activities. No word on price or availability, or if there will be other version that don't look like slug heads.

Woman dies after being "fused" to couch
for six years 08/12/2004 01:09 PM
Thirty-nine year old Gayle Laverne Grinds of Florida died after rescue workers attempted to remove her from a couch she had become attached to. They couldn't get her skin to separate from the couch, so they put the couch in a trailer and hauled her behind a truck to the hospital.

"I tried to take care of her the best I could," said 54-year-old Herman Thomas, who lived with Grinds in the duplex apartment in Golden Gate, south of Stuart. "I tried to get her to get up, but it wouldn't do no good."

He said the woman that he called his wife hadn't been off the couch for six years. No record of their marriage could be found.

"I wish I could have pulled her off the couch, but she wouldn't let me," he said, covering his face and sobbing.

Inside the home, the floor and walls were matted with feces, and trash was strewn across the floors, some which were bare concrete. Furniture was toppled, and pictures were knocked off walls.

Atlas said sheriff's detectives will look for potential "negligence issues" related to her care and death.
