Okay, the whole Santa Claus shtick was fake, but this is pretty amazing. Disney Research has come up with technology I definitely don’t understand that can recognize a world of touch gestures … and not just on a screen. They call it Touché, and it’s one of the most incredible technologies I’ve ever seen presented in a very un-incredible video.
Watch the video. Be amazed. Also, be amazed that the best application they could come up with was teaching kids not to eat cereal with chopsticks.
Well, I know what I’m asking Santa for this Christmas. My very own Chia Obama. I’ll display it on my desk, because it says I’m proud to be an American.
Are you a designer? Do you work in Photoshop? Do you want to make your life 415% easier?
If you answered yes to the above, run (don’t walk) to download GuideGuide, a grid-making Photoshop plug-in by Cameron McEfee. I use this constantly to create web design comps. It’s seriously sped & cleaned up my work exponentially.
(Get this: if you have an active marquee, it will create the guides within that selection. Brilliance!)

Saw this little beauty on my walk to work this morning. Apparently it’s a Puch Magnum, and it’s the sweetest little motorbike I’ve ever seen. I don’t usually like this kind of thing, but in this case…
For some reason, it’s always shoes like these (or the Five Fingers) that make me realize that my kids are going to dress weird, but that I’M going to be the one who gets made fun of.
