I despise cats, but this is just funny.

Air Mouse

February 3rd, 2010





While the iphone and its fellow touchscreen gadgets hint at a future of touch interactivity, Deanmark is developing the airmouse, a glove-like pointer for your devices. The concept aims to prevent repetitivestress injuries by dissolving the standard desktop mouse into a floating device worn on the user’s hand. The airmouse is battery powered and operates using a laser sensor. The user simply holds their hand in the air making gestures familiar to anyone who has used a standard mouse (scrolling, right click, left click). Because the device is directly in contact with the hand, the mouse is said to be faster and more accurate.

The above is the advert statement. With that being said, if they could only combine this concept with The North Face’s touch gloves (which allow you to use your iPhone with gloves on) pictured below and have an air mouse that you can use underneath other gloves that would be able to sense the sensors and also double as an air mouse would be amazing.

Corinne Bailey Rae - “The Sea”

January 28th, 2010



“The Blackest Lily” & “Closer” stand out on this dark record with Corinne’s, by now immediately recognizable grooves and distinctly unique and sultry voice. These songs make you want to drink wine and eat cheese while making love and dancing, amazing. Overall i feel like its such a dark record, but that’s really what happens when you’re going through a lot as an artist/musician. Your environment is a direct reflection of where you’re at if you’re genuine.

I keep thinking about the sLfm record coming out and how dark it is. My friend Jessie told me that its something not necessarily bad if you release something that doesn’t cause everyone to feel upbeat and dancy, that sometimes it is really more important to just get these feelings out. I feel a lot happier doing that record, and i feel like listening to “The Sea” that Corinne has just had to put a lot down on paper with her husband passing away.
I couldn’t imagine writing a record coming off of those emotions.

I’d have to give the record a 4 out of 5.
Really dark and full of despair and emotion, but something that a contemporary jazz listener will definitely be able to enjoy.

Ga gah!

Wow.
An experience that everyone should enjoy in IMAX 3D.
Visually stunning and a film everyone and anyone can appreciate from its storyline, acting, or amazing visuals.

5 out of 5.
