I really love how you can set a device such as a digital camera on the table and it will, via bluetooth or wifi, download information from it. You can then just move the information with your fingers into another device on the surface. How cool. I must get in line for one of these uber cool technology changing machines.

A friend of mine sent me this address of the entire Star Wars movie done via telnet. I can’t think of anything much more geeky than this. Certainly someone needs a new hobby.
