This is cool:

Only in open source world could you do something like this; the possible applications are immense, people who cant use a mouse and keyboard comfortably would be able to "type" in mid air or move files about by grabbing them and physically moving their arms to where they wanted to file to go (I'm thinking primarily of the internet in Johnny Mnemonic or the Matrix "Zion Approach Control"), training bomb disposal experts, teaching fine motor skills to children or having a coarser application of 'playing' tennis or football.

Or we could just play air guitar all day.

Lost! Have you seen sam's motivation?

Evening all,

I've seem to have lost my motivation or it has gone on extended holiday. I have an essay to write for Friday and I've not started it yet; this isn't too bad as its only 1000 words but I just do not have any "get up and go" for the past fortnight or so.

So if anyone has spare motivation going, I'd give it a loving home :-)
