I just made my first Android application using Google App Inventor.

The new software "Google Application Inventor" for Android is so easy, even kids can use it!

Well that's because the programming language software was built with kids in mind.

The interface uses objects and graphics that remind me of Lego building blocks and jigsaw puzzle pieces, it has some advanced capabilities to play around with. I've finished the 2 tutorial applications that Google had prepared to familiarize myself with the basics.

So far it's fun, and very intuitive. I like the way code is represented visually and I believe all types of users will be able to make their own Android Apps when it is fully released to the general public.


I will be posting updates as I continue my programming journey.

Mind control has been seen in comic books and science-fiction for a long time in great stories told by visionaries from our past but now it's more than just a possibility, it is a reality! Brain sensing controllers are available and here's one from a company called Emotiv.

Based on the latest developments in neuro-technology, Emotiv has developed a revolutionary new personal interface for human computer interaction. It is a neuro-signal acquisition and processing wireless neuroheadset. By using sensors to tune into electric signals produced by the brain, it can detect player thoughts, feelings and expressions and it can connect wirelessly to most computers.
