It has been in my plans for a few months now to buy a Nintendo Wii for the house. Dylan has always had fun while playing it at friends houses and I have to admit it is fun even as an adult. Yesterday I went out and bought the Wii which of course led to buying accessories and games for it as well. My fiancée Claire wanted the Wii Fit which is a board you can use to play games but also as a fitness tool. I added that to the list along with a couple games and the Wii Fit Personal Trainer game. In the end everything came to a total close to $600 which added up really quick.

The first thing Dylan did when he got home was to play the Wii. He choose some kid games and while watching him play I thought they were ok but not great. I had bought the snowboarding game and wanted to give it a shot. I do have to admit that using the Wii Fit to snowboard was a new experience for me. I have not been snowboarding in years but used to go all the time when I lived in Vermont. Snowboarding on the Wii Fit takes some getting used to as when you put more weight on your heels or the balls of your feet by your toes it makes you turn.

Before I begin I have to say that I have not verified any of this. However I received an email yesterday from an informant who wanted to let me know that Bid4That.net is now Vuulu.com. She wrote to me because when she went to Google and searched for Bid4That my site came up first before any of the press releases etc.

I would hate to see this site back up and running because if you have been following anything I have covered in the past about Bid4That you will know that they were around for a few days just to scam people out of their hard earned money. As I mentioned before I have not done any domain whois or traceroutes or anything to validate this claim however it would not surprise me that they are under the same ownership.

If you are looking to talk to me about a potential Web Developer position you can grab my resume from the site. It contains all of my contact details.
