Cool and geeky stuff

First there’s this touch screen developed at NYU that recognizes multiple points of contact simultaneously.

I really must have one of these. You don’t know how many times I’ve complained about only being able to select one thing at a time. This isn’t even a touch screen issue. The way I see it, if I plug two mice into my computer, I should have two pointers. This is a major breakthrough in human-computer interaction. Maybe the biggest step toward making interacting with a computer like working in the physical world.

Then there are these songs about space, physics, energy and motion, weather, and nature.
