Augmented Reality and Orson Scott Card

I discovered a presentation about a new wearable technology intended to "give us seamless access to all [the] relevant information about the things that we may come across."

I could go on and on about all of the cool things in this video. About how, on average, my jaw dropped once every 4 seconds, but instead I'm going to make you watch the presentation and experience the childlike giddiness that I felt when I realized the implications of this brilliant invention.

Since I found the link to the aforementioned article on his site, this would be as appropriate a time as any to plug one of my favorite authors, who also happens to excel in journalism, punditry, social commentary, and critique of entertainment.

I was introduced to Orson Scott Card, by means of his internationally renowned novel 'Ender's Game.' I was only an eighth grader, but even then I could tell that he was full of valuable insight concerning men, their motives, and their actions.

After having read almost every single piece of literature published by him (whether digital or print), I can safely say that these insights saturate his writings, leaving the reader not only thoroughly entertained, but also intellectually challenged.

He runs two blogs that I frequent. The first, Uncle Orson Review Everything, is just that. He reviews movies, books, foods, plans, ideas, sidewalk placement, everything!

His second blog, World Watch, discussed politics, culture, ethics and the like.

Both of his blogs are only subsets of much larger websites, which are well worth exploring.
