Holographic FIFA games to broadcast?

So I just read an article on CNN about japans plan to broadcast the next world cup in 2022. I took out some parts that are pretty interesting.

"At the heart of Japan's bid is a plan to broadcast entire games to stadiums on the other side of the world in what appears to be life-sized holograms... Japanese organizers say each game will be filmed by 200 high definition cameras, which will use "freeviewpoint" technology to allow fans to see the action unfold from a player's eye view -- the kind of images until now only seen in video games.

 Meanwhile on the terraces, supporters will be able to use in-ear computerized translators to talk freely to fans from other countries -- a device that mimics the "Star Trek's" universal translators or the Babel Fish of "Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy.""

 If your intreiged then heres the full article.

So its thursday...

SO LETS DANCE!!

Back with a fresh background

Well I hope you all had a great thanksgiving and an amazing break if you had one. I didn't have much time to post anything that week but now that I'm back I shall continue to post daily. I hope my absence has not turned anyone away from my blog. Here is a great remix of the gorillaz song "stylo". The cool thing about this song is that the rhymer in the song, chiddy bang, does not cuss or say nigga in any of his songs. I wish more hip hop artists would be like that.

On a side note, how do you like the new background?

Happy Thanksgiving

Have a great turkey day!

I thought this was post worthy...

Bill Hicks (Comedian)

I apologize for not posting anything the last couple days. My Thanksgiving break just started so my friends and I drove from our university to home (northern california to southern california) and that took about 14 apologize hours. Now that I'm down here I'll keep updating daily.

Todays Post is about the comedian Bill Hicks, I had never heard of him until my friend showed me his standup a couple days ago. He is hilarious. His humor challenges mainstream beliefs and aims to "enlighten people to think for themselves". He is also good friends with the singer of the psycedelic rock band "tool", Maynard. I could give you an in depth article about his life but I doubt you guys would read it so I'm just going to post one of his stand up shows live and you can make up your mind about your view on him.



And here is a tool song that uses some recordings of him in the song



I strongly recommend going to youtube and listening to all the parts of the Bill Hicks Philosophy standup if you enjoyed the first video.
