In case you've been living under a rock, you may not have heard how well received John's
Kinect piece was in regards to his autistic (and really cute) son Kyle picking up on the control, and really being able to jump into gaming in a way he never has before. While I was busy chatting up Shannon Elizabeth, John was talking about the Kinect story with one of the tech leads on the Kinect project. Evidently, John's story meant a lot to the Kinect team, because after they talked, they hugged. And John must have liked it, a lot, because all I had to say was "hug him again" to get him to do it for this picture.
