Commented on frog Design's electronic facemask re-skins reality
hmmm...Sounds a little like the ARG/augmented reality games from Vernor Vinge's Rainbow's End....
Commented on BB reader: "Two FBI agents just showed up at my door for taking photos in the Port of Los Angeles"
Wow, it's like the last 48 hours of boingboing has been an advertisement for Cory's new book. Not that I mind that--after all, like most 'mainstream Internet users' I'm 'hugely aware of the fact that the fundamental economic model on...
Commented on Oregon continues to insist that its laws are copyrighted and can't be published
Yeah, it's wacky. And it gets a little wackier if you read the actual copyright claim of the state. It doesn't claim copyright over the actual text of the laws--just the numbering scheme, tables of contents, and other organizing features....
Commented on Atlantic Monthly sets its archive free

Alot of people complaining about where the idea came from, or what is innovative and what is not. Shut up, with your negative vibe a**-hattery. Frog Designs looks like they have taken a step towards actually making this happen. Pretty damn cool in my book. The tag line should be "Whats so good about the real world anyway?"...

Reminds me of Zaphod Beeblebrox's Peril Sensitive Sunglasses (which turned opaque when danger was near)....
Jerril commented on frog Design's electronic facemask re-skins reality
I still think the heads-up nametags are an awesome idea. Even better - offer a "old conversations log" link over each person, so I can find out what the hell I was talking to them about last time, to help me figure out what the hell they're talking about. Tracking my possessions - which I tend to absent-mindedly put down wherever I am - or just finding something in my field of view by highlighting it for me.
