Super Mario Kart Played with an Exercise Bike
Rigged an exercise bike up to an old Super Nintendo controller using An Arduino microcontroller, some sensors/switches and some transistors.
Peddling at a certain rate holds down the A button to accelerate, left and right are buttons on the handlebars and there is a red button in the middle of the handlebars for using special items.
I have another video I'll upload soon which better describes the bike controller.
EDIT:
There is a quick overview of how it works here:
http://statuswoe.blogspot.ca/2012/04/super-mario-kart-cycle.html including a link to the github project where my very quickly written android sketch is available. I'm hoping to put up schematics of both the bike and SNES Adapter (part of which actually uses an SNES controller) there when I get the chance.
For anyone interested in seeing it work with a non-SNES game Mike McGraw and I came up with a game/adapter that is played on a Computer via USB. I think the game is pretty neat.

A sedentary lifestyle (such as sitting and working in an office all day long) can contribute to significant health problems. However, there is good news... with "Yoga in the Office" you can turn your immobile existence into a Yoga pose for good health, all while staying caught up with work. Check this program out, it only takes a few minutes per day to do most of these stretches and exercises...

Really weird poodle exercise video for humans. This is a mesmerizing and frightening video. It's a word-for-word parody of Susan Powter's first workout video, featuring poodles and a crazy poodle-woman. Absolutely surreal. It was made by Nagi Noda for Panasonic. It was part of 10 films they made for the 2004 Athens Olympics.
