This is something I've both worked on designs of myself and lusted after other commercial versions of. All I can say is that the folks at MIT need to hurry up and get it production-ready!

Star Wars Lightsaber Build on this week's Systm!

If you consider yourself even a mild fan of Star Wars, then you owe it to yourself to watch this episode of Systm on Revision3. You'll learn more about how the props for the original movie were made than you ever wanted to know, and it's probably the funniest episode they've ever done on top of it. ;)

There are so many possible uses for this I don't know where to begin. It should at least give you a taste for the future of things to come! I really want one of these!

Rebirth after a Year-Long Hiatus

After a year of disuse, I'm coming back to this project. I lost my focus because something was missing. I didn't understand my direction. I knew what I wanted it to be, but didn't know how to put it in words.

Well, this morning I read a phenomenal blog post from Jim Louderback (CEO of Revision3) discussing how he believes Microsoft Really Murdered Vista. You should go read that before continuing - it'll open in a new window.

He gave the perfect term for what I've been all these years, and what I wanted this blog to be for: I'm a Brand Ambassador. I've also heard it called a Tech Evangelist, and I guess that fits too. I'm very passionate about the products I like, and very critical of the ones I don't. People seem to be drawn to me to ask my opinions of things, tech or otherwise. I always wanted this blog to be a home for those opinions.

So this is a rebirth, a starting over. If it goes well, maybe I'll start back on that podcast I was working on too. ;)

I also realize that I'm not going to be able to succeed on my own. If you are a Brand Ambassador in your daily life, please contact me - I'd love to have others contributing articles.
