There is a new augemented reality game that could come out next year in which gamers will be able to race real race car drivers right in their own home.  This game uses some augmented reality, and real video captured from the track to create seamless real gameplay. 

For some time now, Real Time Race has been developing a system that places players side-by-side with the drivers in real races.  This could take interactive gaming and television to the next level allowing people to race in real sporting events in everything from downhill sking to car racing or maybe even bicycling. 

Most of the video about augmented reality racing is in dutch, but enough is in English to get the general idea…

Already there have been reports of Black Friday ads being released early for 2009.  We could use this ads to determine what we should wait on buying, or knowing which Black Friday deals we are going to jump on.  So far it appears only the Black Friday Ads for Sears 2009 have really been officially released.

So far Black Friday 2009 looks like it will be the same, the usual big screen tvs, etc… Already the Office Max 2009 ad has been released as well.  Who will bare the long lines and super traffic to save some dough? Or will everyone wait for cyber Monday to beat the lines and save some cash.

I recently purchased the Acer Aspire 7738 as my next desktop replacement, since it hsa a 17.3″ screen, T6500 2.1 ghz duo core processor and 3 gb of DDR3 SDRAM.  The main compelling feature for me was the GeForce GT 130M ddr3 video graphics card also included which makes modern gaming at high rates possible.

When someone travels as much as I do, lugging around a desktop, even a portable slim desktop would be a pain.  This is where a notebook like the 17.3″ Acer Aspire 7738 comes into play.  The screen is still large enough not to feel small like the 10.1  inch screen on my netbook.  Though it doesn’t have quad-core technology, 2.1 ghz duo core is still fast enough for most processes considering that it does still have the ddr3 technology built in.

For $700 the 17.3″ Acer Aspire 7738 is still a great deal and with the keyboard similar to the Mac Book Pro it’s easy enough to use without feeling cheap.

Since I’ve been back in the USA I’ve been using Google Voice for free incoming and outgoing calls.  Rather than give out my cell number I give out my Google voice number.  Since I use prepay  with TMobile this saves  me a lot of money.  How?

I set Google Voice to ring my cell phone and my Gizmo 5 account.  Since Gizmo 5 rings my computer I don’t have to pay for those calls.  If I am not at my computer, I pick up my cell phone and take the call.

Basically Google Voice offers me free calling when I’m near internet which saves me a ton on my calling plan.

Tools You’ll Need for Free Incoming Outgoing Calls
1. Sign up at Google.com/voice
2. Sign up for a Gizmo account at Gizmoproject.com
3. Add your Gizmo account to your Google Voice account.
