One of the more interesting things to come out of yesterday’s keynote to Google I/O was Cardboard.
The plain name hides a nifty concept – using your Android phone, a bit of cardboard and a couple of easily-ish obtainable parts, you can make your own Oculus Rift without the $350 price tag.
If you want to watch the whole keynote, it’s on YouTube in all its 3 hour glory (the first 27 minutes are silent).
Make sure that tonight you don’t see,
Any more than two hours of TV,
Because sitting around,
Might put you in the ground,
So spend the time on your PC.

A Great Wave Of Kanagawa-inspired, pixel piece by Shane Gavin.
Shane sez:
“This is a parody of the Japanese woodblock print “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” some time back in February when Ireland was being battered by one storm after the other. After the few weeks of glorious weather we’ve had it seems like a long time ago now but as is usual the rain is back in full force and all is right with Ireland once more!”
