Was reading this article about this skiing resort using tracking technoilogy to award real achievements to its customers.

There are apps that you can earn XP and achievements and get real-life rewards at the same time.

The military often uses game controllers in their robot controls.

Are we pioneers in gamerizing meat space?

Harmor, could you please learn to spell?

Agreeing with ghetto on this one. Shahter has never been skiing. I've done it a few times to learn the basics and it's pretty fun stuff - not easy either.

You think skiing's just alright because you've only been on the East Coast. Go somewhere with proper mountains and it's awesome.

He's south shore, might as well be from Jersey. He probably skis in his jeans.

And don't tell me you don't have access to a car. Do I have to teach you everything? First thing you do freshman year is become best friends with whoever owns a car on your floor!

Hah, we're all going to Miami for spring break and I'm going to Israel this December-January, so there's not exactly much room for a trip to Colorado!

I do know people with cars though, but it's a quick ride on the ACE train to Penn, jump on the LIRR and I'm home for me.

Clearly no one here has been to Alaska... kick ass snow, EVERYWHERE, and we have good beer. Might I add we had first snow fall today.

I generally don't have an interest in traveling or seeing the world. I never saw the big deal about it. I've been to Jamaica though for a wedding. Meh

If NJ had warmer weather I would be fine with never leaving the state.
