- My little girl loves it!
I really like this game. My daughter, who is 5, and I play it using the balance board. It is helping her with balance and direction. I don't think I'd like it without the board. The scenery is beautiful! I enjoy all of the little extras in there, too...you never know where you're going to find them. BUT, the free ski at night is the best and makes me miss the slopes.

- We Ski - Family Fun
This is great, even my four-year old can play this. My family of four can all have fun together with this one. You can ski together or go down and slope you want. There are so many other activities in this one (photo's, missions, etc.) that you can never get bored. Night skiing is the best!

- Fun Game
My kids play this and they giggle and interact with enthusiasm. They don't use the balance board. I gave it a shot one day with the board. It was pretty fun. I started the scavenger hunt. I played for an 1.5 hrs. and didn't realize how long I'd been playing.
Another nice game for the whole family.

- Fun especially if you have the wii fit board
I really like this game. The racing is lots of fun or I like just skiing around the mountain. I have the balance board which allows for more realistic skiing. The only thing is that if you use the balance board, you can only play with one player. If you want to race with two players you have to switch to the remotes. Skiing with the remotes is a bit awkward but it is fun to race another player and not just the computer. I am looking forward to more games that use the balance board.

- Fun game with good graphics
I like to ski and this game only intensifies my desire to get out on the slopes (unfortunately, I only go on ski trips once a year in a big bolus).

The set up of your character allows you to pick various items such as clothing, skis, hat, goggles. Although tedious, it is fun for youngsters.

The interface allows you to play with 2 players using the conventional remote/joystick. Unfortunately, you can only use the Wii Fit Board solo. That is a main limitation of the game. It would be ideal if you could use both the Wii Fit Board and joystick/remote for 2 players. That would add to the realism. Maybe a We Ski 2 is in the making for something to replicate real motions. However, this is still a fun game.

The graphics are very good and augmented with my 50" Plasma, I can stare into the screen and at least, visually, feel like I am going down the terrain.

Different modes such as solo racing, freestyle and racing with friends are various options. The split screen is a nice touch when racing with friends/family.

Tutorials run you through the various maneuvers to get through various obstacles, various tricks and techniques.

Despite its limitations, it is a game that can hook you into playing for several hours and really make you lose track of time. This is a wonderful game for family/friends. With the low price, it is also a very good value.

Eye-Fi Share on Sale for $65 at Amazon

Amazon.com is offering a so-called Black Friday special on Eye-Fi Share:
The 2 GB Wi-Fi-enabled Secure Digital card normally runs $90; it's $65 while the sale lasts.

Given that Eye-Fi introduced a limited-time-only 4 GB "Anniversary" model that replaced the 2 GB Share version in its current line-up, and that the Anniversary model was $130 list but $100 for Costco members, it's pretty clear that the 2 GB won't re-appear, the 4 GB model will drop in price, and Amazon's acting as a clearance center.

The Eye-Fi Share lets you upload pictures over a local network to a designated computer, or upload via a Wi-Fi network for which the Eye-Fi is configured to connect over the Internet to Eye-Fi's servers, and from there to a specified photo-sharing, social-network, or photo-printing service.

I'm a fan of the Eye-Fi, although I favor the currently $130 Explore model (see my review), which comes with geotagging (via Skyhook Wireless) and adds a year of included uploading via Wayport locations (now part of AT&T).

Nokia Smart Home Solution Puts Power of Control Onto Your Cellphone [Smart Home]

With energy conservation and easy eco-friendliness on just about everybody's agenda these days, one of the most popular concepts is the “Smart Home,” a living environment that knows just how much power you actually need to be comfortable and gives you not a drop more. Nokia's hopping on that wagon with its new Nokia Home Control Center, a Linux-based platform that will control your house's resources via your mobile phone.

According to Nokia, the NHCC will allow third-party developers to create services that are added onto the accessibility platform. That way, you'll rarely come across an incident where some new smart home tech you bought doesn't actually work with your main controller. NHCC works with Z-Wave, ZigBee and KNX, three of the most common command languages for home networks. It will be launched some time in 2009. [Nokia via Treehugger]
