Very interesting to hear about the site’s early days and how big it has grown, as well as her other projects.
Another Use for Kinect

This helps to avoid having to re-scrub since they don’t actually touch anything.
Well, this is useful for the home, too.
While helping to make Thanksgiving dinner, I had the XBOX playing Christmas music to set the mood.
From time to time, I also had my hands dirty with the food prep and didn’t want to handle the controller after touching raw meat.
Thanks to the Kinect, I didn’t have to: I was able to pause, play and skip tracks all without having to touch anything. All I had to do was walk over and wave.
Very cool.
