Arrr! Ahoy me matey! – Talk like a pirate day – September 19

Avast! I recently watched the movie Pirates of the Caribbean. A great fantasy movie with Deep who do some great acting in the role of the anti hero pirate captain Jack Sparrow. When I discovered today it is “Talk like a pirate” day, I just had to learn some basic pirate grammar.

Basic lesson: How to talk like a pirate

If Einstein thinks it’s learning is cool then it must be a fact.

Very nice.. Make your own Einstein picture here

Board gaming on a horizontal touch screen LCD.

It's a new concept from Philips.
" The Entertaible concept is a tabletop gaming platform that marries traditional multi-player board and computer games in a uniquely simple and intuitive way. Entertaible comprises a 30-inch horizontal LCD, sophisticated touch screen-based multi-object position detection, and all supporting control electronics."
I thought about the same concept for a year ago, and how wonderful it could be. Esp. if you think about traditional role playing games like D&D Think about it. You could have electronic dices that are connected to the board. The players could draw the strategies on the board, what should happen etc. Who attack who, what spells to use etc.. Every player rolling their dices and see it all unfold on the game board. How amazingly sweet would not that be!??

I hope that this will be available in the near future.

I found this crab and his little buddy when scuba diving in the ocean. I think it's a quite funny picture.
