Elon Musk’s design visionAn evening pause: I’m not sure if his concept for a different way to interact with the computer is really the best way to do it, but his willingness to try something new makes it all worthwhile. There will — and have been — payoffs.
Hat tip Edward Thelen.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Most of the 3D manipulation as was shown on the little video I can already do, and have been doing for several years using a combination of a gaming mouse in one hand and a “3D Connexion Space Explorer” in the other hand, both of which are a few years old. The gee whiz factor of just waving ones hands around isn’t there, but I’m a bit skeptical as to the accuracy/utility of the stuff shown. The 3D printing is of course a game changer and as the technology matures manufacturing techniques not possible now will become commonplace. By using the additive techniques we can build things inside of things without the need for gaskets or flanges, which for instance makes handling hydrogen a more practical reality.
