Off Topic: Microsoft Surface - the computing platform of the future?

This video was posted on a blog that I read. Its real cool to think about where computing is going in the future? Where is our technology going to next? I believe that we are advancing on how we can apply the technology we have rather than trying to create new technologies. This is just one example of how a mixture of technologies we have today can be applied for tomorrow. Check out the video below.

Off Topic: Three Funny Shorts from "On The Lot"

In case I don't have time to post later, here is a short post to give you something techewan (remember that joke Dragon Slayer?) for today.

There is a TV show on Fox called "On The Lot"

The show is basically an American Idol for directors of movies. Right now there are 15 directors left on the show. They have time limits (anywhere from 1 to 24 hours so far) to produce short films that are critiqued by real directors (judges) and voted on by the public. I don't watch the show, but I do watch the shorts that they put out. Here are three funny ones from this past episode I thought were funny.

Dance Man
by Adam Stein <- This guy is my favorite director on the show

Replication Theory
by Sam Friedlander <- This on was funny, but lacked a good ending

Spaced Out
by Andrew Hunt <- I just laughed at this one... no substance... no story... just funny
