The Future, as Microsoft sees it. I think I agree.

Today, i was reading one of my daily blogs at lunch and read through [ this article ] by [ @UXBooth ]. As a gamer, the projects being worked on for the xbox is pretty amazing to me. But more-than-that I truly enjoyed watching the promo video from Microsoft about smart surfaces, and where they can take us. I'm hopeful that these ideas come to fruition. Its every sci-fi geeks fantasy, or at least this one's!

While I am not a fan of Microsoft, I am a fan of innovation, invention, and gadgetry. Check out the article, and watch the videos. They're interesting.

This is truly a big day for Drupal, and the Open Source community as a whole. While Drupal has been represented in other government agency websites like the Department of Defense, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Education, and the General Service Administration having representation at the very top level of the Government sends a very clear message that Open Source and Community contributed programming can be a powerful and trustworthy source.
