Now, if you are an avid gamer and grew up in the 1990′s there’s no doubt you’ve seen HMDs or, Head Mounted Displays.

It seems as if the idea had been shelved for quite some time but finally I’ve found a unit that would actually be worth owning.

May I present to you the Trimersion – Head Mounted Display (HMD).

The thing that makes this HMD different for me is that 1) it’s half the price of ‘oldschool’ HMDs and 2) it uses a display that supposedly has 922Kilopixels per eye. That’s a resolution of over 1024×768! I’m assuming it’s a widescreen 1280×720 configuration, but I’m not sure as the description is terse.

“Back in the day” you’d have to pay over a grand for a display that had a resolution of 320×200 or some strange variant thereof.

All I need now is six hundred plus extra dollars to spend on something that’s completely a toy!

Ah, to dream…

Someone keeps spamming my Shoutbox with links and it’s getting quite irritating.

I’ll have to invesitgate further to find out how they’re getting through my filters but for now I’m going to make my filters more exclusive to see if I stop the morons from making my webpage look disgusting with code all over the place.

Being hacked is always an interesting double-edged sword. On one hand it’s very irritating and on the other it forces me, although I’m quite a busy person, to think more about security. Being a computer scientist, that mindset is paramount.

Well, we’ll see how things go.

Not a single bad post in a month is a good sign to me.
