Techie Finds and Video Game Exercise

I was perusing geeksugar today and saw a couple posts that caught my attention.

First was the Princess Dresser With Mirror PC. I've always wanted a little vanity set, but this would suit me perfectly! However, surfing the web and trying to do my makeup and hair simultaneously seems a bit difficult to do. On the other hand, this would be useful for those times you are trying to follow some sort of hair or makeup tutorial :P But I guess a laptop could work too, hehe.

Another post that caught my attention was Wired Proposes: Gamer Gut Begone! This is particularly encouraging for those looking for an alternative workout from the traditional workouts like jogging or aerobics.
Add some video games to your workout
Instead of....
1.5 hours of weight lifting (842 calories)
Play
1 hour of Dance Dance Revolution (900 calories)

Instead of....
30 minutes of aerobics (242 calories)
Play 30 minutes of wii boxing (250 calories)

Instead of....
20 minutes of jogging (198 calories)
Play 1 hour of PS3/Xbox on the couch (204 calories)

Instead of....
15 minutes of sex (33 calories)
Play 7 minutes of Wii Tennis (46 calories)

*Caloric expenditure is based on a 180-pound male. So clearly, caloric expenditure will vary.

This is a good alternative until I finally muster up the courage to sign up for pole-dancing classes :P
