  Xyle XY

  So I'm on break now for Christmas and I've been watching a bit of the TV series; Heroes, Standoff, Justice, Til Death, and now Kyle XY. Kyle XY is a great show and I can't wait for the next season.
  
  For those that haven't seen Kyle XY, it is about a kid who shows up in the woods and has no idea who he is or anything. His knowledge is at the level of a baby and he has to learn everything on his own. This has become one of my favorite shows. I Think there is a lot that one can learn from it.

  Air Guitar... That you can actually hear!

  Have you found yourself playing the air guitar and wished you actually could produce noise by doing that? Well, now you can!
  
  CSIRO, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, has created an air guiter which makes noise. It has sensors which are located on both of your elbows and wirelessly transmits your movements to a computer to output sound according to your motion.
  
  The plan for this technology besides an air guitar is for use in developing applications for the health and sporting areas such as physiotherapy devices which will track postures and exercises. The air guitar is simply a way to try out the new technology in a fun manor and hey, maybe they'll make a couple extra dollars to help fund it I wonder how much this 'air guitar' will cost.
