The mind-control Wii headset also reminded me of this game I played when I was at the Tom Tits Experiment (an Exploratorium-type place) in Sweden.  In the picture, you see my brother-in-law John taking on my niece Kelli.  You basically strap these brainwave-sensing head straps on and then try to move the little ball over to your opponent’s end.  The ball will move faster when you have LESS brain waves, i.e. when you’re not thinking about anything. I was pretty good at this game, which means I’m exceptionally good at blanking/spacing out. That said, I’d love to see Professor X take on Jean Grey in a game like this.  Who would win?  I’d say Jean takes it provided that she exposes a little cleavage to throw the old man off.

I was flipping through a T3 magazine yesterday and there was an interesting article about a mind-control headset being featured with the Nintendo Wii 2. And while the consensus on the web is that although Nintendo is not said to be actually developing this headset for the next-generation Wii (these pics are artist renditions), the technology for this already exists. The idea is that the frontal lobes will sense your brain waves, which can then make a ball or character move on the screen. The remote would feature only one button, and you’d have to “think” — and send to the remote — what action you want the button to carry out, whether it’s jump, kick, punch or whatever. The magazine suggests that 2010 is around the time that technology like this could hit the gaming world. And while I’d be shocked if Nintendo made a leap like this for its next console, it got me thinking — would we be ready for something like this? Here’s a slightly more suggestive picture of the artist-rendered Wii-mote.

One of the most interesting things I saw at the Jackson Pollack House was his bookshelf and record collection. Apparently the record player on the left still works. I asked the tour guide what the apparatus on the left was, and she told me that it’s an amplifier. We’ve come a long way, haven’t we?

It’s M-O! Our favorite character from Wall-E…he is such a representation of Em that it’s not even funny. FOREIGN CONTAMINANT! $%@^# scrub scrub scrub scrub…apparently, now you can buy one for your own home!
