Personal vision

After I saw video screen replacement goggles in Disneyland in 1997, I thought that having a set of glasses that you could use to watch video (or replace a laptop screen) would be a wildly cool idea! Finally MicroOptical appear to have bridged the gap between the strictly functional applications in the military and medical fields to allow we mere consumers access to this great technology...

But what is most noteable about their MyVu product, to me, is that it is beautiful... a little like Data from Star Trek Next Generation, but still stylish. Kinda reminds me of my ThinkOutside keyboard that I love so much and even my old Palm Tungsten T3. Not just functional, though eminiently so, but also beautiful!

It's not that hard... really...

Interestingly (at least to the entrepreneur in me), the awesome company ThinkOutside was sold last month for just $2.5m

On a program called "Beyond Tomorrow" there is a virtual reality game called "Second Life". In this game a person can live a life to a virtual existence in that they can do what they want and use what is termed Lindons for currency. Although I guess it is fun it is also sad and unhealthy as people are turning away from living a proper life into an artifical one.
