Some things to share!
First, the interesting impersonal discoveries:
Celluon invented the first
virtual mouse! It's like a receptive projector that can work as both a trackpad-esk device and a keyboard.
If you have a few minutes, you should watch some of
Bill the Engineer Guy's videos. They're incredibly cool and informative if you like such breakdowns.
Second, the personal discoveries which everyone finds less cool because they're personal:
I have a goal this year: to read all
100 of the Best Books of all time. I'm hitting up the library tomorrow.
My second goal is not to get a library fine. Most of the time whenever
I check out a book, I should've just bought the book for the fines I pay.
Third, Barnes and Noble has started stocking some cool fiction anthologies. The one I grabbed is called Brave New Worlds, and is 500 page collection of excellent dystopian short stories. There are others, including post-apocalyptic, steam punk, horror, vampire, and sword and planet short stories. The next one I'm eyeing is called The Death Machine. It runs a single premise with more than twenty authors: the invention, testing, distribution, and use of a machine that can predict how an individual will die. The note is ambiguous without a time, place, or specifics, so someone will still be surprised at their doom.
