Nature: Hope for Geeks: Emotion-Sensing Silverware

news @ nature.com: Utensils divulge dinner date's feelings -- Inventor wires up cutlery with electrodes to pick up on emotions.

Although it may never reach the market, a new type of dating tool could give inspiration to the romantically challenged. By attaching electrodes to regular eating utensils, inventor James Larsson has created knives and forks that can pick up on whether the person across the table feels uncomfortable or pleased.



...From Arielle. Whew! If you're not sure that your date's having a good time, then just use this emotion-sensing silverware.

Just Letters - A browser based multi-user Flash game

Whoa... You can basically drag letters into random configurations and there are other Internet people doing the same thing. You can spazztically align all of the O's together, or make a questionmark. It's like magnetic-poetry-meets-alphabet-soup.

Thanks, Paul! :)

...I especially approve of the Chindogu -- it reminds me of an art project I once did. An extension of the stream of conciousness. :oD
