The future now

So the other day Stunt boy is in the other room and he says Xbox do this thing.

Then he says Xbox do this other thing. I’m think why is he calling his mother what I call her. Oh did he just go there, yes folks I did and that is why I play on the PS3 because I already have an xbox. And at two point play, can he make the trifecta, I’m not going to push my luck but back to the point.

Stunt boy isn’t talking to his mother but to his actual Xbox gaming system and unlike his mother it is actually doing them for him.

I am amazified and stuff. This is like being freaking James T. Kirk and any other person in the future today. You talk to a machine and it does stuff for you. Granted the Xbox isn’t making sammiches, no she isn’t either. You know you thought it, but how far away are we from this. Transporter beams I suppose but here is a scenario.

Computer I want a salad.

What ingredients would you like?

You get the list and then from some farm or storage thing the food just beams into your kitchen…awesome.

There could be some draw backs with that because you know you’ll be drinking some time and then you wake up the next day and there are Chinese dumplings on the ceiling, hummus in the DVD drive and not sure what the sticky stuff is and your stomach isn’t in the mood for closer inspection without adding to the mess.

Yeah and we think drunk texting is bad, imagine what our grandkids are going to be messing with when they are five shots too far into a jager buzz

Why are there so many apples?


Hey, don’t doubt this Jules Verne wrote about this zany mad captain at the bottom of the sea in a sub before there were such things. Whiz bang and stuff there they are not even a 100 years later

1960s Capt James T. Kirk talks to blinking lights mounted on a sound stage prop and someone back stages pretends to be the computer and answers. 2011/2012 the Xbox does what you ask it to do. Well you know with in it’s prescribe parameters but still its doing them.

Real life super hero guy got to play a video game the other day what you work with your brain activity not any controller. How awesome is that... yeah I know so awesome, I’m totally jealous and I told him too. He promised to take me next time but there won’t be a next time I know it that is just my luck


One of the gaming companies is working on semi immersion technology where your motions control the game avatar but better than the Xbox kinect.

How far are we from full immersion where we are the in the game environment. Either holographic projection of the game or to the other side internal mental images.

Personally I like the idea of holograms over someone pumping information into my head. Because once the get stuff in they can get stuff out and it adds a whole new level to I got a virus because you know someone is going to hack your brain and have you kill their xbox for them and you take the fall and solve there problem.

In other news

Classes started again and I have a teeny tiny class room full of people. Looks like a promising start to the new semester.

In other other news

I took the last few days off from the blog because I was de holidaying my house, some much needed fixes to some household things, getting ready for the semester and fixing technology problems. So the last few days have been sort of busy but nothing really terribly blog inspiring … well not as much as scooping the litter box which I’m off to do now.

Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely

Happy Birthday if it’s your birthday and a very merry un birthday if it isn’t your birthday
