Every now and then a story on "Exercise/Sleep/Meditate well and you will reach the Nirvana of Human 2.0" comes up here at HN. But the thing is, that Sports are quite fundamental. According to Wikipedia: "Sport (or sports) is all forms of usually competitive physical activity". It's analogous to all "entrepreneurs" here doing "competitive mental activity", at least if you are in the same industrial sector. It's not exercising only, sports teaches you about sportsmanship, respect and fairness. That's what I look up to.

Heck, Hacking itself is even some kind of sport to me.

So, if you need somebody in order to raise the experience of doing sports: I'm all yours. ;-)

My feeling is that the "in-game" experience will be tough to crack. Call me old fashioned, but when I sit down to watch a game, I may have a second screen open, but it's rarely used to augment watching the game, it's mostly for multi-tasking.

The idea you raised is an interesting one. There are lots of really cool visualizations out there these days. I've always wondered how we could make them more useful during the games.

During games I usually use a second screen to debate with my friends what's happening in the game or to share some betting tips.

In case you need something more feel free to ask me.
