Last night I did something totally fun and childish, in a sweet sort of way. I was invited to some friends' home for dinner. We were 6 adults, plus 2 children (well, a child and a preteen... no offense John). After enjoying a nice meal together, the children pulled out this game and somehow convinced us to play it. Ever heard of iToy? It's this computer game involving a camera and TV. You follow the music and instructions on TV as a camera automatically projects you onto the screen. The games include simulated concert conducting, aerobics, army courses, etc. It's a great workout, actually. But for anyone watching just the participant, without viewing the TV, it's the most hilarious thing you'd ever see. And for a bunch of 20-somethings - jumping, punching the air, running in place like mad - it suggests the need for serious mental health.
