“I’m in the real world and I’m bringing the internet with me.”™
I’m a recovering gamer. I can’t allow myself gaming privileges anymore because, like many gamers, I become obsessed and let my life be over-run by whatever game I’m playing. Yes, when even your dreams are about the game play… you know it’s time to “take a break”. Well, Jeep hopes that enough gamers are obsessed [...]
Tesco, the British retail and grocery chain continues to dominate when it come to tech innovations. I was impressed a while back by their cool QR code virtual shopping wall that turned up in south korea subway station. Commuters waiting for their train can scan the code of any product they would like to purchase, [...]
It’s a challenge we all have, but some do it much better than others: Getting. Stuff. Done. I discovered this app because I follow a guy on twitter that tweets his “achievements”. It makes me chuckle because he is a 40+ man who tweets that he’s leveled up to a “Swarthy Dwarven Toiler” because he [...]
Bluebrain (brothers Hays and Ryan Holladay) are doing something that really got me excited in a way that doesn’t come around too often.

Media agency PHD made the video “to stimulate [...]
As a remote worker this lil’ fella really appealed to me!! I wanna be “Robot Sally” roaming around the office!! As many positives there are for working remotely, one thing I really miss is the interaction with my workmates. Well, that’s the concept behind the Anybot… it’s your web enabled physical presence -not only on [...]
Coming out in May, this affordable toy is aimed at kids and adults alike and could be a great platform for other virtual games to become adapted to real world counterparts (Castle Crashers anyone?)
I might have a hard time deciding what to get people as Christmas presents but this wrapping paper is awesome! If they are disappointed with what inside their present, then they can have fun with this great example of Virtual Merge™! Each sheet of wrapping paper has 50 QR codes that link to 50 exclusive [...]
So I’m not sure how many people out there have read “Daemon or “Freedom” by Daniel Suarez but this new gaming App for the iPhone from Finnish Developer Grey Area is similar enough to make me anxious for real world leveling and wifi controlled deathcycles. The app basically creates a gaming world based on your [...]
