Wii Sports Experiment
At his personal Nintendo fan site, DeLorenzo posted graphs and funny video clips documenting his experiment. In one, he runs through the streets of Philadelphia with his Wii controllers in hand and jumps up and down on the top steps to the city's art museum as the "Rocky" theme plays. In another, he and his wife box, bowl, play tennis and swing the baseball bat in front of a TV.
He has partnered with Traineo.com, a Web site that helps people track their weight-loss and fitness goals, to create the Wii Workout.
DeLorenzo had planned to write a book based on his Wii Sports videos. He had a ghost writer from Men's Health Magazine, a literary agent, and a publisher. Ultimately Nintendo did not approve of the book, and the plans have been canceled.

Famous quotes containing the words sports and/or experiment:
“Sweet smiling village, loveliest of the lawn,
Thy sports are fled and all thy charms withdrawn;
Amidst thy bowers the tyrant’s hand is seen,
And desolation saddens all thy green;
One only master grasps the whole domain,
And half a tillage stints thy smiling plain;”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)
“I have been trying all my life to like Scotchmen, and am obliged to desist from the experiment in despair.”
—Charles Lamb (1775–1834)
