Cool Wallet
Here's an article in wired about a Stewart/Stand wallet that I think would be cool to have. It's made of woven stainless steel thread. Of course, I'm not the kind of person to pay $80 - $125 for a wallet even if I think it's cool.

gored
The American Heart Association has a women's heart health campaign going on now. they call it "Go Red"
The web address is goredforwomen.com
I don't think I want to be gored for anyone.
Incidentally, I don't like the TV ad. They just show pictures of different women. The reds are really intense and the skin tones are pushed to yellow. I think they were trying to make it a graphical look. To me it just looks like they have the colors turned up too high... like above normal "broadcast legal" limits. I appreciate what they're trying to do, but I'd lower the saturation of the skin colors and, after pumping up the reds to where a lot of the detail is lost, pull the over all saturation down so it does look it was shot in a radiation leak.

The future of computer interfaces?
Click the title bar for the article that alerted me to these clips.
A guy named Jeff Hahn gave this talk at a conference last year.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=zwGAKUForhM
Here's a more recent demo of the tech he developed.

It's very cool to watch and for some of the things I do... particularly video compositing and graphics work. would be a very cool way to work. Maybe someday it'll trickle down to something I can afford. :)
I have seen some video of this stuff before (maybe even blogged about it then) but it's still cool to see.
