			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you probably know, I&#8217;ve been working out using the WiiFit.&nbsp; As the weeks progressed, I realized two things:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>1. I was avoiding some workouts that I didn&#8217;t like simply because they challenged me more.</p>
<p>2. I was spending *WAY* too much time between workouts trying to decide what to do next (thus letting my heartrate drop).</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I decided I needed some sort of system to randomly select the workouts for me so I could just follow a predetermined list.&nbsp; Since nothing seemed readily available, I did what any webdeveloper would do: I built it.&nbsp; It&#8217;s gone through a few iterations but I think it&#8217;s ready to finally be unleased on the world.&nbsp; So go ahead, make your own workouts, and get (Wii)fit!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.techydad.com/WiiFitWorkout/" target="_blank">The WiiFit Workout Generator</a></p>
<p>If you have any comments or suggestions for new features, let me know about them.&nbsp; I always consider my web applications perpetual works in progress.&nbsp; There&#8217;s always room to improve!</p>
<p>Oh, and thanks go out to the wonderful jQuery and jQuery UI team for their great work on the jQuery and jQuery UI libraries.&nbsp; I couldn&#8217;t have built this site without them.&nbsp; (Ok, I could have, but it wouldn&#8217;t have looked as cool!)</p>

		<description><![CDATA[As I said in my last entry, Palin Bingo was such a success that I decided to make another run of it for the upcoming Presidential debates.&#160; I&#8217;ve removed the Palin-specific words (like &#34;Trig&#34;, &#34;Todd&#34;, and &#34;Alaska&#34;) and added in some words that we missed the last time around.&#160; In fact, we&#8217;ve added 71% more [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I said in my last entry, Palin Bingo was such a success that I decided to make another run of it for the upcoming Presidential debates.&nbsp; I&#8217;ve removed the Palin-specific words (like &quot;Trig&quot;, &quot;Todd&quot;, and &quot;Alaska&quot;) and added in some words that we missed the last time around.&nbsp; In fact, we&#8217;ve added 71% more words.&nbsp; There are actually 20 quindecillion (2 * 10<sup>49</sup>) possible Bingo cards.</p>
<p>I also added in some cool effects using <a href="http://www.jquery.com/">jQuery</a> (my favorite JavaScript library) and two plugins for it &#8211; the jQuery <a target="_blank" href="http://malsup.com/jquery/corner/">Corner Plugin</a> and the jQuery <a target="_blank" href="http://brandonaaron.net/jquery/plugins/gradient/docs/">Gradient Plugin</a>.</p>
<p>Finally, I changed the center Free space.&nbsp; You can now to choose Obama or McCain in the center (or opt to have it randomly filled).&nbsp; It&#8217;s up to you whether that means that the Bingo game is only in play if Obama is talking, McCain is talking, or either one.</p>
<p>The debate is in a couple of days (as I post this), so spread the word.&nbsp; Tell your family and friends.&nbsp; Print out your Debate Bingo cards, pop some popcorn, and play <a target="_blank" href="http://www.techydad.com/DebateBingo/">Debate Bingo</a>!</p>
