Where have I been?

I seem to be answering that question a lot.

Weeelll. I've been keeping busy. In fact, I've been looking around the web for better means of hosting my materials. Deviantart and blogger are good. But the insanely effient tumblr is catching my eye over blogger's rather cluttered features. The move could happen soon, so a lot of my work would be redirected there, instead of here.

For those who don't know, Tumblr is a blogging site, with the sleekness of twitter and less mess that you get with facebook, it's a very very clean format to work under. More so when promoting work.

However, that's all for another time. Right now we are talking -
http://www.tricorderproject.org/about.html

I though this would be an interesting idea for me to share for the little traffic I get through here. However it strikes me as something very interesting to see become a reality. (Which it slowly is) Design is my one true love next to technology and the two go hand in hand.  A project like this could really dwarf the iphone or whatever google is doing with project glass (still waiting on that).

If the open source tricorder project does get in the air, I would be very very interested to see how it pans out on the market, and both as a tool. When you can compact what we once though would be a mass of tools into one small box, well the possibilities are endless. Not just for ease of use, but for education, and science as a whole.

Of course, it's running linux, so there will no doubt be tumblr, facebook, twitter or instagram apps for it if it ever did become public. Ah, apps. Didn't predict that one did you trek?
