Wearable computing is hitting Kickstarter in a wave starting in early 2014 with four Kickstarters launching January 28th. The advent of low power, multi-device architectures is taking these Kickstarters beyond the major players and preparing us for a future of multiple, simultaneous sensors that are smart peripherals to the mobile phone. Notch has hit CES 2014 like a storm, and was named to The Gaurdian’s list of top wearables. Quebee is on the national news tonight as the first multi-camera and smartphone system.

Deckers Beware! Street Samurais Unite!

October 30th - via: iratefilms.com
The year is 2029, no, wait, it’s 2013 – but back in the early 1990s I played a little role-playing game called Shadowrun.

But, folks, I am here to tell you, minus the trolls and dwarves – and magic – we are very much in the Shadowrun world! Corporations are bigger than governments, information is a commodity more than any gold, or silver, and protecting secrets is something we no longer may take for granted. (Read More)
