3D Gadgetry

Since I was a little kid games have saught after a realistic feel to them. They have come out with visors that you can wear, some fancy electronic motion sensing suits, or just some plain two colored lenses in some glasses.

The gaming industry has tried to capture this realistic feel at an affordable price for a long time. There was the Nintendo Power glove, Virtual Boy and now the Wii. All of these products from Nintendo shared the same goal; make the experience more realistic.

Johnny Chung Lee has come up with a system that gives a player a more submersive feel in a game than we have ever had before at a descent price. This price is about the same price as a Nintendo Wii. It is the same price because he uses the Wii's technology to implement his design. His design is called head tracking. Head tracking tracks the angle of your view(the position of your head) and then adjust the picture to that angle creating a realistic view and feel to the game.
Check out his video that he has made to show this in action.

In America You'll Never Be Free...

This is not the America I signed up for. I've said constantly that I'm in love, in fact straight up INFATUATED, with the idea of America. But the execution of the idea known as "America" leaves much to be desired, at best. At worst "America" is a sick joke, a trojan horse created for those with the greatest amount of avarice at heart to run rampant and unchecked.

The latest examples of American hypocrisy can be found here and here. Both are short, but even if you don't wanna read 'em just take a look at the titles.

So as you can see, it doesn't matter what side you're on. You think differently? Welcome to Guantanamo Express.

Last time I checked, America was born out of protest and subsequent action.

9-11 really did deal a deathblow to America. Now the president government can call you a terrorist and legally detain you for as long as they please. No trial, no jury, no problem.

(And don't think because you're a citizen it can't happen to you. Ever heard of "home grown terrorists"? When the government gets to define "terrorist", what makes you think they won't use that to stay in power?)

Your neighbor won't even miss you. He'll probably let his dog sh!t on your lawn.

Wake up.

I Wish Her Heart Still Was In Rhymin'...

Can you believe it's been 10 years since Miseducation dropped? Man, I can remember sittin' in the middle of the street blastin' Doo Wop out the boombox.

Check out the 10th Anniversary piece Rolling Stone put together for the occasion. It's all the behind the scenes ish that I could read about all day.

I need some more Lauryn Hill in my life.

My favorite joint off the album:
