No decent reason to add this one… it just tickled me how long they must have taken to make it. Thanks to the Idat group for the post.

Wii Wielding

Sunday, January 28th, 2007

Continuing the Wii posts, I came across this ridiculous use of a Wii remote. Basically boys with access to robots and a little too much time on their hands came up with this… This was originally found on HackADay a constant source of people’s hardware hacks.

Educating the future

Sunday, January 28th, 2007

If you don’t know of Futurelab, perhaps you should have a word with yourself. Bristol based (but internationally renowned) Futurelab have been looking into the future of education, in particular how technology is likely to change the way we pass on our knowledge in the future. And you can now get access to a number of their findings through their website at: http://www.futurelab.org.uk/research/

In particular a number of quick hits of info can be found in their handbooks: http://www.futurelab.org.uk/research/handbooks.htm

Enjoy the read.

Happy New Year

Wednesday, January 3rd, 2007

Happy new year to everyone, and a happy christmas as well, if you’re not too feed up with the whole thing.  We’re all looking forward to another year of digital frolics.

The gaming community are pretty happy right now with the Wii out already (still waiting for mine!) and the PS3 out in March.  That said, some haven’t been so lucky.Even with the few ‘teething problems’ It’s nice to see new forms of interaction invading the public psyche so successfully, and gets people moving again (Wii Sports Boxing actually gets you sweating!)
