New Tech

You like google glass? You on a budget like most of humanity? Well GlassUp is a viable option for you! GlassUp is similar to google glass but a big difference is going to be the price! Each device has the ability to connect to the internet and give you directions to locations, show you incoming messages, and tons of internet connected options. Sadly the GlassUp does not come with a camera, but it is half the price so if its an issue you might want to go for google glass. The producers of GU are willing to make a new model with more advanced features in the future if their current model is a success which it should be. You do not have to look to the right to read your messages, but they appear right in the center of your vision, not too intrusive as there is opacity set to the text but it allows you to continue with your work instead of looking off to the side which if you are doing very sight intensive work this might be very handy to have. I for one cant wait to see some demos of this...

Kickstarter is one of my favorite websites to find awesome projects, including some very neat technology and this may be a device that revolutionizes written language. The lernstift was created by some brilliant german inventors and made this glorious piece of tech. This device can tell you how well you are writing incase you have sloppy handwriting, it can also tell if you spelled a word wrong....Wow! It uses a motion sensor to track what you are writing and you can see your digital output on a computer as well. It vibrates to tell you that you have made a mistake, allowing you to look over what you did and fix it. Its an actually functioning pen, but you dont even have to write on paper, making letters in the air is still tracked and noticed! I feel this will be a really great tool for students who struggle to properly learn some more common words so they get used to them and wont be left in the past with a limited ability to spell. If they just have sloppy handwriting its got them c...

Yet another awesome creation from kickstarter the LibraryBox v2.0 this little device is your own little ftp server small enough you can carry it around, or mount almost anywhere! The LB2 is of course short range with the average range of a router but its your own portable host capable of holding whatever media you wish. I could see this being a new thing with the distro of public data and things that certain people might not want you to see *cough N S A cough*. It runs off of usb power so it takes very little power to run this guy so you could hide it in a tree with a battery or solar panel and let anyone access your content around it and it would be very difficult to track down and easily moved if found suspicious. There are some similar products out there but cost at least double the price of this and the creator tells you how to do it yourself (lots of steps  with terminal, warranty breaking stuff). Anyway if you are intrested why not go check out Jason Griffeys website:  h...
