Remembering the good times: New York Giants edition

I don’t know how they do it sometimes, but the New York Giants have hit a new low.  They have first and goal from the 3 years line, and  Eli throws 4 corner fades in a row!  SIMPLY AMAZING!  Culminating in his 5th, (yes 5th!!) interception of the game.  Due to this season basically being in the crapper,  I would like to remind NYG fans of a better time: David Tyree catch in Super Bowl 42.  Please enjoy and try to forget about eh current team, if only for a minute.

GREATEST PLAY IN SUPERBOWL HISTORY:

Yoga for the blind on Xbox kinect

Since going blind I really miss the ability to play video games.  They are not something I would play all the time, but when titles like Grand Theft Auto 4 and Modern Warfare came out I would put in my fair share of playing time.

One game that actually worked for me as a blind person was Wii sports bowling.  Although I needed help having my score read to me, it was a fun, social, physical, and competitive activity that I could participate in right in my own living room.  It is also extremely easy to learn so people were often  willing to bowl around, even if they had never played before.

Now I have just read the following article about a new yoga game for the Xbox 360 Kinect.  I don't own an Xbox, but if they are starting to develop blind accessible games, it may be worth purchasing if the library grows.  If you are interested in learning more about the new yoga game, visit the following link:
