Sarah Kay: Inspirational Kick!

"It's not just the adage 'write what you know',

 it's about gathering up all the knowledge and

 experience you've collected up to now, to help

 you dive into the things you don't know." -Sarah Kay

I found this when SwissMiss or as I call her: the Queen of Blogging, posted it on her blog.

I couldn't help but repost this. Sarah Kay, a performing poet, just blew my head away! Whether you like poetry or not her two poems in this video "B" and "Hiroshima" will definitely draw you into this fast-paced, yet smoothly-flowing world, which, I imagine, is exactly how 22 year-old Sarah Kay's mind works; and I envy her for that. 

Kay, is the founder and co-director of Project V.O.I.C.E. (Vocal Outreach Into Creative Expression); which encourages young people to use spoken word to express themselves and to understand the world and who they are.

Genuinely Inspirational!

The User Interface Future is Here

I am, to put it plainly, blown away!

During a research routine for a text I am writing on Augmented Reality, I bumped on this awesome video on one of my favorite blogs. Not directly relevant with AR but roughly in the same neighborhood.  

I mean we've seen this before, yeah: in movies. Now, it's a tangible concept, an actual operating system which, if I may say, redefines the meaning of the term interactive. 

I know it might sound stupid, but I'm going to go ahead and say it:
Imagine the effects/benefits this form of interactivity; people will sort of, hopefully, become a bit more physically involved. So the interactivity course started from writing and went to typing, then clicking, then touching and now nodding! 

"Thank you for making science fiction real" does not even begin to describe it.
