Sucks

I had a Co-worker and friend die last week, this was unexpected,
he had a heart attack about an hour after he got off work a night i worked with him.
I went to the viewing to pay respect and show support for his family.
When I got there the site was sureal and it looked lik he just want to get up and say something
th thoughts streaming through my mind was I hope he was saved and I hope his kids are too. The following day I went to the burial which I was asked to help move his cascit of corse I helped. The wind was cold, a wind that could cut through any jacket no matter how heavy.
I made my peace there but his dauter has a hard road ahead, I continue praying for her and hoping that she find some peacee in this storm she is going through. From time to time I get asked where he is and what happend, it's still a little hard to talk about but he will always be remembered.

Hologram Keyboard Technology

I saw a Holographic keyboard in the invention fair. There was a small stick like thing that would display an image of a keyboard like a projector would; When a spot was touched that had the light of that key on it the computer would then type that key just like a normal keyboard. At first when the key was touched I thought that the blocked light was sending a signal but other keys were blocked but only the key that was touched was input into the word proccesser.

The stick could be placed a lot of diffrent way and could be focused, to make the keys bigger or smaller. Only when the surface of the object that the keyboard was projected on, was the key typed then inputted into the computer.

It cought my eye and made me wonder how it worked so well and what went into designing that piece of equipment.
