BCI – Brain Computer Interface
In the example above a user controls a second life avatar using only the power of his mind. Pretty freaking neat. I can’t wait to drive with my mind. Or fly with my mind. Or cook dinner with my mind. Or work?
To see another application of BCI check out these guys playing “Pong”

I really liked the image posted on AmberMac’s website showing the before and after shot of her image photoshopped.
As a father of THREE beautiful girls, I like the transparency of Amber’s digital improvements.
My genetics will probably mark my kids with mediocre skin, excessive hairiness, and other quirky traits. It is nice to have an illustration that photos in magazines, internet, flickr, and billboards are retouched. People have flaws. Physical and Mental.
I personally love the sincerity of a good flawed person…. comfortable in their own skin. I personally am proud of my “Dave Letterman” teeth and teenage skin disorder. It builds a toughness – I have always had to deal with being visibly authentic. I hope my girls can live with the same comfort in their own skin.
