I love this clip. Watch it a few times and never got tired of it. A wrestler asks the audience to throw him a folding chair and just about every fan in attendance decided to comply with the request.
It really looks like a wrestling parody from Scary Movie or something but the funny thing it’s real.
Oh, that’s one unfortunate bird. All it’s trying to do is do catch a ball game and the players just have to knock it out. It’s funny when the player asked for forgiveness.
Unlucky bird get hit!

Popular tennis player Novak ÄokoviÄ (Djokovic), world number 3, attempts impersonation of Roddick, Hewitt, Nadal, Sharapova and Sampras. We need more of just entertainment in sports.
Djokovic as Roddick, Hewitt, Sampras, Nadal and more
What a personality!
Watch how this Japanese guy pitch! I don’t know if that can be counted as a strike in baseball. It’s smart isn’t it. The act of deception in sports.

SarcasticGamer.com presents a satircal look at one of Nintendo’s “Big” announcements at E3. Wii Fit was billed as a fitness breakthrough. It just looked like standing around to us.
But it’s quite true actually. The new Nintendo Wii Fit is kinda silly. It’s just 2 digital weighing machines that registers your weight. If you think that’s innovation, just go purchase 2 weighing machines and start doing push ups on it. See the magic of the Nintendo Wii Fit. Sorry Nintendo, sure it looks like its from Ikea but this just didn’t work for me.
Nike commercial (extended version)
Continues from part 1 of Nike+ Review.
I ran for 200 metres and stopped. Jon plugged in the iPod to the Mac and iTunes is launched. It automatically uploads the running data from your iPod to your computer and up to the internet. Yup, it goes to the internet where you can share your runs with other Nike+ users.

Now here comes the fun part, you get to monitor your runs. It connect to the Nike+ servers using your iPod receiver as your unique identifier. That would unfortunately mean that losing your receiver mean bye bye statistics. Here are some screenshots of the Nike+ interface, it’s something runners would find useful. It tells you the distance, the time, the pace and the calories burn out of your run. It’s the feature I love most! It charts your progress.

See how you perform in each run. It tells you where you use your PowerSong. It’s always fun to return home after a run and plug in your iPod to your computer to check out the statistics.
With such comprehensive statistics for the runner, running will never be the same again. The whole interface is well thought and easy to navigate around. If you have Yahoo! Widgets you can download a widget to your desktop. It is compatible to Windows (including Windows Vista) and Mac OS. It monitors your goals and you can even challenge friends to runs!

I am not really a runner but many people already are, about a thousand odd people are using Nike+ and they upload their route online to share. You can scroll to Jurong East and see what routes people are running. It’s a simple idea but it’s ingenius. When you get bored with your own running tracks, you can try nearby locations. You can plot your own track too and it will measure the distance as you plot. Really cool stuff.
Nike+ Apparel

I previously mentioned the problem of iPod ear phone wires jumping around when you run. It wouldn’t happen if you have one of those tops above. Nike+ apparel holds your ipod Nano in a snug fitting, water resistant pocket right in your shirt or shorts. In addition Nike+ apparel comes with a wire management system that lets you loop your earphone wires through a network of holes to hold the wires in place. This prevents irritation and more importantly abrasion. Men and women designs are available. You can enlarge to view a larger screenshot.
Conclusion
Overall the Nike+ online experience is just awesome. I absolutely love the social aspect of the tool, you get to interact with friends and look at their runs too. It’s most rewarding perhaps to monitor your own statistics knowing how much better you are running today, as compared to say - two months ago. Nike+ is definately a must get for iPod Nano owners who loves their runs, it makes a great gift for a friend too!
I get into the Nike store without knowing much about this product and my experience has been a positive one. It’s fun knowing and blogging about it too, I thank Jon for the opportunity.
