A robotic arm gripper, a mediacenter and a Wii finger tracker are coming!

Ok, I have to really say sorry for all the time that I let this blog to be so silent.

The main reason is that I was so busy with work that I can't find time to writing posts, ok, at this moment I'm still busy at work but, to be honest, all this time I wast still thinking "damn, I have to go on with my blog!".

So, today, probably because I'm alone at home with no special things to do that I thought it was the right moment to start again posting my experiments and activities!

Infact, the biggest sorry that I have say is regarding the fact that last months I was not just working without experimenting something new! Not at all of course!
Since my last post I was giving up a little bit with the multitouch but I started (and completed) some new adventures:

• I built a mediacenter for my living room with the great software MediaPortal
• I coded a Skype plugin for the MediaPortal system
• I experimented all the great Johnny Chung Lee ideas with the Wii Remote and I built an IR illuminator for one of them
  
• I turned into a furniture maker and I build a bottle holder for my kitchen, ok probably this is not appropriate for this blog :o)
  
• I finally built the gripper for my robotic arm!

Luckily I took photos and notes of all those works so, let's say that I have enough material to write down some posts full of hints for anyone that would like to play with those things.

Here is a small preview of what will be the next post on this blog!


So, stay tuned, BlaXwan is back!
