Yeah, there isn't really any sort of fitness plan with it other than it tracks the "nike fuel" you collect during the day. The fuel is a numerical value that is uniform across all users that tracks any sort of activity you do. So the fuel band tracks that, the calories you burn (you put in your height & weight on the website), the steps you take, and the time so it's like a watch. I actually stopped wearing my watch since I got it. You are right about the social networking functions though, it logs you on the website when you charge it (or through the iphone/ipod) and you comment on the activities you did that day, or how you feel, etc. It also tells you the distance you traveled and the times your activity peaked with a bunch of motivational stuff. I am disappointed that it doesn't track heart rate though and honestly for the cost it should, but overall it's a fun piece of tech that is vastly improved now with the latest update. I wasn't joking about the pizza thing btw. Before you would get more nike fuel for eating than you would from walking up some stairs.

As a HUGE Frequency/Amplitude/Rock Band fan ... I am very happy right now.

So far I am completely loving it. Granted I have nearly 800 songs in my RB library, and I've been looking to scratch my Frequency itch for quite some time.
My shirt came in from teefury
So awesome.

I don't think there's a case in that photo.
Kinect Sports & SSX were super cheap through Bestbuy so I picked them up. Also complete Lupin first series
How good is the Lupin set? I've been meaning to pick it up.

Today I finally received my Elevation Dock from Elevation Lab:
It doesn't stay in place quite as reliably as they originally claimed but I'm still very happy with it. It looks nice.

Just in time for Apple to make that dock connector obsolete.

Yay! Elevation Lab says "we do plan to make a bolt-in swappable upgrade if Apple does change their connector", but we'll see how much they charge for it.
Saga is far and away my favorite book right now. Vaughan and Fiona are just doing everything right on this.
EDIT: AHAHAHA!
Haha, I'm so happy that I finally got a hold of the Revoltech Woody figure, I've wanted that since I saw it for the very first time.
He got pretty rare yeah, congrats! I never wanted one but he looks like a fun toy.

Finally got my hands on this.
The art book is a lot cheaper than I thought it would be (not hardcover) but I'm really excited to play the game.

Went and picked up a red XL for my stepson, yesterday. I picked up my blue XL on Sunday. Traded in his Aqua Blue 3DS/my Midnight Purple 3DS for the red. He was happy. I'm happy.

From the awesome sale at Best Buy.
...And my new 3DS XL with New Super Mario Bros. 2
...And my new 3DS XL with New Super Mario Bros. 2
Nice! Is this one of the models that have the W + Shift + Space combination disabled? Or did you get lucky and get one of the earlier produced ones that have the better matrix?
Going further down the road of the glorious master race, I figured a new keyboard was in order as well. It wasn't cheap, but I ended up getting a Logitech K800 wireless illuminated keyboard. Absolutely love this thing.
That white 3DS looks nice, and so does the Vita. A white Assassin's Creed vita next to that would look sickI'm ready.
Newly acquired PS VITA along with my trusty 3DS.
Damn, you're right, which is why I wish they would've gone with a white Circle Pad. Such a bummer.
Only things I've picked up this month. I've read all the books before, but had only borrowed 'em from libraries, nice to own them. Currently in the process of rereading them.
Absolute Power is better than I remembered it being, pretty good, and The Long Halloween just still holds up so well.
NSMB2 is just amazing. No complaints.
edit: picture's a little odd. forgive me
It's here
White case? Doesn't NSMB2 come in yellow cases?
Not for America.
indeed, NoA can suck mah balls

Show some of these in action! Especially links awakening dx
Link's Awakening looks GLORIOUS in 1:1 native res, GameBoy-themed border and all. The iPhone camera just doesn't do it justice, so I think it'd be pointless to try and capture it. :[

Monitor buddy fistbump!
I didn't even know this was a thing. I had to look it up. W + SHift + Space works just fine on my keyboard.

Shatterhand is very decent. One of the lesser known Megaman-alikes on NES.

Do it!!
I actually dig that Disneyland one a bit. I assume that it's something you have to get at the park given the limited edition nature?
nice selection of parts! does that video card support 3 monitors? im in the market for one.
