This weekend is the NHL Allstar Game and it is in Columbus, Ohio at Nationwide Arena. They have activities all around the arena that people can do, and this slide was one of them.  I went during a lunch break with people at my job and it was a lot of fun. The slide looks smaller in the pictures. I'm actually surprised myself by doing it because I don't usually do good with heights. Check out the video of yours truly getting it innnnnnn.... 

I missed last Saturday:( Its crazy that dice has been around for 5,000 years...Game Technologies is attempting to do the impossible-Bring dice into the 21st Century. Dice+ still has the six-sides like the traditional dice, but it also has the ability to interact with smartphones and tablets using Bluetooth to deliver a blend of old fashioned game playing on a new fashioned platform.

Compatible with Android 4.0 and newer, as well as the iPad 3, Dice+ has a range of up to 15 feet, which seems like more than enough, since most gamers will be playing near the device to which they are connected.

The device also packs quite a bit of technology into the space behind its six LED displays. An in-built magnetic field sensor allows Dice+ to detect its orientation while a proximity sensor lets it know when it is being touched and an accelerometer allows it to detect movement and acceleration. These sensors allow for accurate rolls as well as helping prevent cheating (because it knows if it has been rolled properly).
