Hey dancing Tuesday people, c'mon now dancing Tuesday people c'mon. Yeah!

How's it going? Hopefully we should be getting a new design ANNNY time soon, from my good friend cicla (he runs Rusty Arcade and did all the art for Arrival In Hell with me).

I have started work on a few more projects. A website that I won't say much about yet, but it should be good if it kicks off. Also for work I am getting to make a Game as part of IBM's Blue Fusion event. It's where a few lucky kids from schools get to come to IBM and play games and stuff related to science and computers. All I'll say for now is that I get to program something for the Wiimote! Yey! Can't wait to do that. We're even getting some makeshift sensor bars. Did you know the sensor bars are ONLY 4 LEDs? That's all they are. The sensor bar doesn't sense anything, the Wiimote has an infra-red camera on the front that senses the infra-red light from the LEDs on the sensor bar, and from there it can figure out where it is pointing.

So today we have a scientific video showing how we can use the Wii to produce a Minority Report type computer where we use our fingers to interact with he system.
Kinda cool huh?

Keep on Tuesdayin'
