Fun in the office

We got our projector installed last week in our conference room/breakroom/theatre. The projector and our 9' wide screen work really well for training, watching movies, and impressing prospective clients. Last night I was cleaning out the garage and came across my old Nintendo, so I decided to bring it to the office. I just spent about 10 minutes hooking it up to our projector and surround sound stereo. There was a little excitement as I finally accomplished one of my ultimate childhood dreams and was left totally dissappointed. When you blow up the graphics of a Nintendo and play Mario bros. - little Mario is about 1 foot tall on the screen and the graphics look terrible! Here is a link to a video on how to beat Mario Bros in about 5 minutes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yl_XPkcTl4 Since I have YET to beat the game, maybe having it on a bigger screen will help.

Microsoft Surface

People are flipping out about the capability of Microsoft Surface (Demonstrated on the Today show 05/30/2007). This was quite an amazing demonstration of what Microsoft could do with this amaziong touch table. It looks like the DiamondTouch that is designed by Mitsubishi. Microsoft's unveiling on their software, Microsoft Surface, is not the first however. After installing Warcraft III on my Windows Vista Laptop I stumbled across this video using the DiamondTouch to play the game Now I just got to figure out a way to get my paws on one of these tables!
