Mind Control For The Masses

It seams that the new big thing for toy companies is producing games that you can control with your mind. Basically, you strap on an EEG based headset that senses beta or theta brainwave activity to control the motion of (in these games) a ball.

Uncle Milton is producing the Star Wars Force Trainer


Mattel is releasing the Mind Flex


Interactive Productline has created Mindball


The interesting thing is that this reminds me a lot of this scene from the 1956 movie, Forbidden Planet...

Summer Takes A Holiday

It seems that Summer has decided to go somewhere else as of late. For the last few days the it has been 10 to 20 degrees cooler than normal. Last night it dropped down into the upper 40s, lower 50s. It's starting to feel a lot like late October, and I wouldn't be suprised if the leaves started to turn.

But there's not such thing as global climate change.

I should really ask one of the weather guys what the longest trend is for cool temps in July.
