Chris, aka , just sent me a link to this flash video of the hottest piece of technology I’ve ever seen.
It’s a demo video of this touch screen interface. The video starts out with the guy manipulating colored lights and shapes, obviously in order to demo what this thing is capable of as far as graphics, response-time, and manipulatability (is that a word?). It goes on to show possible other uses for it, like for manipulating images, navigating 2d and 3d maps, manipulating 3d-rendered objects, and GAMES!!
Anyway, go look. It’s pure sex on an LCD screen (or whatever this thing is made of).
Anyway, here’s a link to more technical info about it.

saw it a while back. looks like a nice piece of software. i’ve been waiting for touchscreens to take off for five years now and still only demo movies!
and where’s my flying car?!

It’s Who Am I by Peter Kruder of Kruder and Dorfmeister fame. It’s one this album, apparently.
If you like that sort of stuff, you should try listening to BeatBlender from somafm.com. It’s awesomeness.

That’s pretty damn cool.
It reminds me of the kind of cool stuff they used to feature on the Australian TV show Beyond 2000.
Hiya, by the way. I’m playing catch-up, as usual. :-)
