Kinda cool. Other than, of course, looking like a complete nerd wearing electronics all over your clothes and hat and multi-colored fingers.

Yea I love TED too. Could spend hours / days getting lost in there. That's a awesome interface. I bet we see that in real life in a couple years.

This was one of my favs. Statistics on steroids.
