A while back one of my co-workers told me about Project X-Cloud. This is a new way to play XBox games on the go. Xbox is looking to launch a program where you only need an xBox controller with Bluetooth and a tablet or cell phone with the ability to connect to the internet. My XBox controllers have bluetooth so I got a $5 bracket that hold my cell phone and I can play games right off the cloud. The games are screaming fast and super clear because the processing power is done by Microsoft and not my phone. Phones do not have a high enough GPU to process such high end games like Gears of War, Halo and more. Actually in the preview there are only four games that I can play. They are Gears of War 5, Halo 5, Killer Instinct and Sea of Pirates. I’ve been playing Gears of War 5 already and it is a lot of fun. It is cool to be able to take this on the go and play it anywhere.
I am very fortunate to do what I do. Creating blog posts, videos and content can be tough and sometimes you feel like you should quit. Then there are other times when you connect with a company around one of their very unique products and everything just clicks. This happened to us with Let’s Start Coding and their Code Car product.
About a month ago I received an email out of the blue from the communications person at Let’s Start Coding. She had taken the time to actually look at my blog and made a personal connection to the content of my blog including the sidebar. This was not the usual pitch and it really made a difference. She told me about their company and products. I looked and immediately thought that Code Car would be perfect for us. So, I requested one and it was sent to us immediately. I started playing around with it and then showed it to Eva. She was so excited as she made connections with the code and started making changes right away.
I posted my review and also some photos. Let’s Start Coding liked them and said that they might want to send us something else. I said that was great and then today we received The Ultimate Kit 2 in the mail. I had no idea it was coming but we are super excited about this. After dinner and before I headed to work Eva and I discussed The Ultimate Kit 2. We’re going to work on this one together. Eva then suggested that she show Andrew Code Car.
After dinner she began showing Andrew how to use Code Car. I think that he wants to get a hold of it for himself. He wants to do it all himself and that is great. They can both work on that kit themselves. With The Ultimate Kit 2 they will need a little direction to start and I cannot wait to start. There are going to be some great things that we will do. I am also considering connecting with the kids’ school to do some projects with them, too.
