ohai!
So, I’ve spent the last three days working on a site. Three days of hard work has gone into it, and it’s ready for release.
It’s a social portal. You can add links to all your profiles on social sites such as facebook, twitter and the like, as well as adding links to your blog(s), or even just your favourite sites. Your profile is customisable, you can change all the colouring, add a profile picture, add a background picture, etc. There’s more customisation to come in the near future, but as the weekend draws to a close, I’ve gotten the core of the site up and running, ready to be released. There are a few profiles up and running smoothly already, please feel free to create your own. :)

The Future of Input Devices
I had to post this, it’s awesome. The video explains it much better than I can, but it’s basically a new input system, developed to not require interfaces. Instead, it uses electromyography (EMG) sensors to translate muscle signals from the skin’s surface. The project is a joint collaboration between Microsoft, the University of Washington in Seattle, and the University of Toronto in Canada.
The video shows a guy playing Guitar Hero with nothing more than an air guitar. (I’m sure there are dozens of amusing air guitar videos I could link to here, but I only ever find the idiots who take it seriously. Feel free to post a funny in the comments)
Final thoughts: What if you’ve lost a finger?
