Evoke: A new online game to save the planet.

Found this via Doctorow on Boing Boing. Looked intriguing enough to me so I checked out the site. Cool looking site, with a comic book style introduction and a cool trailer (see below). I decided to read a bit about who was organizing this and found it was the World Bank Institute. They are a branch of the...you guessed it World Bank. Now this can set off some alarms with people I know, however if you read a bit it sure looks like on a more or less surface level that they do accomplish some good deeds. Now I am more than open to hearing what others have to say on the matter, so please respond. In the mean time I signed up with Evoke and I look forward to what it may involve, I think it's worth a look. http://www.urgentevoke.com/

Cool things to do with a Wiimote.

Found this via the vast interwebs. What innovative and simple hacks can do to provide us with super useful and fun projects. Link to Johnny Lee's site with other super cool projects with video instruction. http://johnnylee.net/projects/wii/
