Fuller<
/a> was a Texas based rock and roll singer best known for the immortal
rebel anthem "I
Fought The Law,". Considered by many to be the heir to
Buddy Holly as the king of Texas Rock, he built on Holly's style with
songs like the aforementioned "...Law,"
"Jenny Lee," "Love's Made A Fool Of
You," and the 2 1/2 minute masterpiece "Let Her
Dance." And then it ended,
at age
22, in very
weird circumstances. Over the years, interest in Fuller and his work
has ebbed and flowed, and plenty of
archival material surfaced, but the mystery of his death
remains unsolved, although many have

American health insurers are working with obesity researchers to
encourage children to play Dance Dance Revolution on home consoles
with dance-mats as a way of reversing childhood obesity and the
concomitant health costs later in life.
Jones is one of 85 children in an at-home study trying the popular
Dance Dance Revolution video game to boost their activity. The study
is being done by West Virginia's public employees insurance group in
hopes it will lead to better health and lower costs.
Jones lost about 10 pounds by changing his diet. Now, after two weeks
playing the game, he has lost another 10.

Revolution for martial artists
06/24/2005 06:25 PMCory Doctorow:
Kickass Kung Fu is a video-game in which you use real martial-arts
moves to control an on-screen kung-fu fighter in order to best both
human and AI opponents.
The game takes place on a 5 meter cushioned playfield suitable for
martial arts and acrobatics training. Using custom computer vision
technology, you are taken inside an artificial reality where the
normal laws of physics no longer apply. Your movements are exaggerated
so that you can easily dodge your opponent's bullets by jumping five
meters in the air and landing behind his back. Using the dual
projected screens, one at each end of the playfield, you can also
continue by counter-attacking your stupefied enemy from the behind.

04/04/2005 01:54 PMThere have been discussions over the past few years about the problem
of childhood obesity and how
video
games that force kids to be active may be at least part of the
solution. While going outside and doing something is probably better,
if they must be staring at a screen, they might as well be active
about it. It appears that one insurance company has decided to test
this out and is
running a study by giving Dance, Dance Revolution to kids
in an effort to make them lose some weight. While others have noted
the aerobic nature of the game (and the game apparently has a calorie
burning counter as an option), this appears to be the first insurance
company promoting the game. Next thing you know, your car insurance
rates will rise if you play Grand Theft Auto...

In the battle to dominate the emerging business of online music

Microsoft rolls out its MSN Music store, directly challenging its
nemesis, Apple Computer, which so far has ruled that business.

05/24/2004 06:59 PMThis CNN piece follows the tales of formerly supersized boy and girl
geeks who shed *lots* of unwanted weight playing the wacky Japanese
electronic game "Dance Dance Revolution." In DDR, players stomp around
on a grid of brightly lit squares while hyperfast techno music blares
at them from a video display unit. There's also a home version, which
sells for under US$50.
As she cooled herself in front of a fan at a video arcade, two teenage
boys danced on a machine nearby. Their sneakers pounded out a staccato
rhythm at a pace so fast that "Lord of the Dance"'s Michael Flatley
would be envious.
Not everyone sees dramatic results. Seventeen-year-old Justin Meeks
says his body is more toned, but his weight hasn't changed. He's
pleased to point out, though, that his dancing skills have helped him
get girls. "Two. I'm guilty of that," Justin said with a grin as he
watched friends play DDR.

off the machine and chatting to his girlfriend. "He's from Sweden, he
has a DDR group there too." The machine is now in the control of the
third chap, a large-ish bloke with shoulder-length hair. "He has a
group in France, but they play all kinds of music games." Do you guys
play competitively? "Sometimes... like tomorrow. It's why we're all

There'll be players from four different countries. It's pretty big."
