Mornings

I've been awake since 8:00 am, but I've been taking it lazy, reading my e-mail, going through LJ and just taking the morning slow. I haven't even gotten around to reading my web comics yet!

Augmented Reality.

This site is host to a bumper crop of interesting pieces of augmented reality research.

Libraries and RFID woes.

Update: When I first wrote this little blurb, I added a CUT and a commentary on the general problem of cluelessness amongst librarians. It got eaten by my LJ client. So, I'm not going to reiterate much, except to say that the failure to see a problem is endemic to the current library culture, as they isolate themselves too much from mainstream technology. They think the fact that hand RFID scanners are rare today means they'll be rare for 10 to 15 years. Fact is, they'll be easily available in 3, and common in 5. Do they really plan to retag ALL their books in 3 years, or shrug and say its too late now?
