Pokemon Go

Couple of kids playing it today in South Bend found a body in the river. How many points do they get for that?

I prefer to walk with a bow or rifle.
The critters I hunt are real.

I used to play Niantic's old game (Ingress) for several months. I even added two spots at my work to it. Now those two places are Pokestops. It's handy.

I'm enjoying it OK so far, but I'm never near a gym, so I haven't actually done any of the battle stuff. Hopefully I find time for that soon.

You know it took Michelle 8 yrs to get kids out and running, whereas Nintendo did it in less than 24hrs.

My son's been playing it. The technology is pretty cool from how he describes it. Side note: He says it knows if you are walking, riding bike or in car based on speed of movement. He said you get more points the farther you walk to get to things. He admitted it is basically fit bit for nerds.

While this particular app is not interesting to me, my kids - ages 12-18 - are all into it. So, it is good to see them interacting without bickering.

But, the premise - augmented reality - is REALLY interesting to me. That's the kind of thing that will become more prevalent. This is just the first small wave of the tech tsunami approaching.

I just saw a kid crash his bike into a curb. He was looking for something. Probably Pokemon

Ditto.

Maybe we can give Hillary an augmented realty White House and let her have her fun that way? Then again, the app doesn't run on a Blackberry, does it?

Does anything after 2009 run on a Blackberry?
