FuelBand
When Nike first released its Nike+ Technology, it had one goal in mind: Give individuals software and gadgets that help them better track their fitness results. From the microchips inside of Nike shoes to the iPod/iPhone accessories, each device aims to help individuals keep track of their running, calorie and exercise goals.
Now Nike has introduced its FuelBand line; a plastic wristband with LED lights and motion sensor that can detect how many calories you burn in a given day. The band lets individuals connect with Nike+ to track goals and calories. Burned calories translate into Nike Fuel, a proprietary system for helping individuals meet specific goals. The more calories burned, the more fuel gained.
Individuals can keep track of calories, steps taken in a day and distance traveled by simply wearing the device. With more than a dozen LED lights, this little wristband lights up when commanded and displays calories burned instantly.
Roku 2 HD
Streaming appears to be the latest tech trend to take over the industry. With television programs popping up directly to your Roku 2 HD box, you can watch streamed programs, sports and movies whenever you want. Unlike Netflix, you don’t pay a monthly fee for Roku 2 HD, you pay for the box and you get access to unlimited streaming. Because shows are streamed, you do not have to wait for each one to download. You just select a movie or program and enjoy.
With Roku 2 HD, you get access to more than 350 channels and, because each are streamed, you don’t have to pay a thing. With games, movies, premium channels and sports games, you might consider dropping your expensive cable or satellite provider.

I'm a gamer and nerd from a small town in England. I like video games on the PC more than anything else and have an Android phone. I study film at university and have a passion for music (listening to it, not making it.) I don't post on NerdyBlog very often as I'm rather busy a majority of the time, which is why I'm listed as a "Freelance Editor" but from time to time I will be posting articles on things I have a person interest for, whether it's an app, a film or a TV show. Possibly even a nerdy debate I've been involved in. Who knows? I do.
