a glob of nerdishness

I think I found this through one of those link-swamping sites, so you may well have seen this already. But just in case not, you should see an even cooler demo of multitouch than the iPhone keynote. Forget “the pinch” and 2-years of extra phone bills — Jef Han of New York University did a TEDTalk on mulitouch available for view or download (ed. note: TED=Technology, Entertainment & Design shall save us, Talk=here’s how). That talk shows and explains most, but not all, of the demos you can see in another video on the NYU project homepage, where you can learn more about the technology itself. (I like the photo lightbox best, though the lavalamp is cool too.)
