How to Get Wii Fit
A recent study from the National Institute of Health and Nutrition in Tokyo suggests the Nintendo's Wii Fit offers the same vigorous exercise as outdoor (non-video-game) exercise.
Funded by Nintendo, this study has echoed across the Internet, bolstering arguments by Wii enthusiasts who have long held their wireless fun is not just entertainment -- it's busting calories.
Nintendo, also based in Japan, funded the study amid dropping profit margins over the past year, as the company seek to expand the Wii market segment from young boys to mothers and families.
One American fitness study offers a different report.
"It's a very, very mild workout," experts at the American Council on Exercise (ACE) said of the Nintendo system in a recent study.
The ACE experts say Wii Fit is not a substitute for a primary exercise routine -- but that it can be an entry point to exercise. And for many people it's a whole lot easier to keep up with the Wii Fit than to join -- and commit to going to -- a gym. Think of Wii Fit as your starter home gym.
For home fitness with a bit of entertainment, get Wii Fit.

Twittering and Facebooking At The Altar
This one is a very funny wedding . heheh!
he says
"This was just done to be funny - we really don't Facebook THAT often :).
I have a lot of family scattered around the country and we all use Facebook a lot to keep in touch. So when Tracy and I were engaged, most of my family found out via Facebook because we updated our statuses.
I surprised not only my guests, but also Tracy by pulling out my phone and posting on Facebook and Twitter from the altar during out wedding.
I had her phone ready in my pocket, so when she asked for it I could hand it to her. No one knew about this except the minister, and myself."
Here is the twitter post:
