Some wise-guy decided to use the gamer tag of "XboxSignOut" so when playing online with others, anyone who called out the name would be signed out thanks to the Xbox Kinnect's voice recognition. Check out the video for some funny reactions:

Peter's dog, Harley, has recently been undergoing hydro therapy to help regain his ability to walk. For such a lengthy process, with little change from day-to-day, Peter put together a video to document his progress and how far he is coming along. You can see the video on his fund raising page and help support Harley in his recovery to get him back on his paws.

Only judging from the crowd reaction at midnight, there was no one there:

Meanwhile on the East Coast, people have been using projectors in the snow to create some amazing visual displays:

And finally, what happens when you condense movements in video, or sort out all the motions into groups? You get some interesting videos of city-scapes.
