Our department decided to create a digest for tech talk and tracking. If you have new technology to share with the group, add a post here. Maybe you figured out a short cut on production, or discovered some tech trick. If you think it’s techrific please share. Don't forget to use labels it's much easier for sorting. Labels in Blogger=categories. If you need help getting started with Blogger let me know.

QR Code :::: The Kaywa Reader
The Kaywa Reader
I'm going crazy with the posts but I been finding lots O' cool stuff this morning.
What is a QR? Well.... In simple terms, a QR code is simply a graphic 2D barcode that stores information, such as addresses, URLs, business card info, or anything else. Scanning the code with software on your camera-enabled mobile phone will automatically launch a browser to the specified destination.

Superstruct
KurzweilAI.net
Inventor, futurist, AI theorist and all-round smart person Ray Kurzweil has launched Superstruct - an MMO that aims to find out what life will be like in the next ten years.Players create a profile - who they will be in 2019, essentially - and watch, read and learn about five possible 'Superthreats' to humanity such as famine, political unrest and pandemic.
The player chooses a Superthreat to work on and then collaborates with other players to write a story detailing how we can all pull through. Or not.
It's perhaps stretching the definition of 'game' a little, but it sounds fun and who knows - you might just save the world for real this time.
