A snapshot of what was going through my mind when I clicked “publish”
Personally, I’ve never really wanted to be Tom Cruise - with the exception of two moments. The first was when he was rocketing around in an F-14 Tomcat in Top Gun. The second was when he got to play with that really cool interface in Minority Report (and yes, I’m aware that this makes me a total geek):

I’ve known that if you get wealthy enough you can always buy a jet fighter (Larry Ellison and his son have mock dogfights over the Pacific), but how about that interface?
Today I found out that it might be coming a little sooner than the jet, thanks to Oblong Industries. Check out this video of their G-Speak “spatial operating environment”. Then you can compare it with the original Minority Report user interface.
I'm fascinated by what happens at the margin of everyday life. That's the sort of stuff that tends to written about here. Expect some speculation, snippets of my life and the odd incoherent rant. Does the Internet get any better than this?
