YouTube - Brace Yourself - Hazakim

Here is a great video based on Hazakim's song "Brace Yourself". It is one of my favorite songs. I like it!

Kinect's "Minority Report" Interface - G4tv.com

I like this one! I do remember seeing Minority Report, but I think we have a better idea of what the technology could look like from Iron Man 2. The example below is very rough but could most definitely be in the near future in our homes.

My Fourth Android App - WHHWappV3

Well here is the fourth version of my app for Android based on the RSS Feed of this blog. This program still doesn't show images but it does parse the feed correctly to get the images urls. Turns out that there is a bug in Google App Inventor for showing large images by url in the image control. The new thing I added to this app is button in which the post is read out loud when you press a button.
Below you can use the QR code to download the app yourself. And there is a video of the app in action alo below. I have an upcoming post on my Favorite Gadgets blog that goes into more detail on how this app was built. In the future, I want to try a version of this app that does not use App Inventor but standard development tools for Android. I'll post those results when they become available.
