Getting my site running with the help of a little WordPress on the iPad. In my search for moving off my laptop, unless I’m doing something that requires the power of Adobe, I like what I see.

TOPPS 3D

When I grew up the space shuttle was something that was considered quite amazing. This topps the feat, and you never have to move from the drives seat. 

Kudos to L.A./Europe-based software provider Total Immersion gives trading card brand Topps the augmented reality treatment by offering 3D live baseball cards. 

You may be asking what is a “3D Live” baseball card. I am not sure myself, but I am running out right now to get a pack. Webcam ready and waiting!

A demo on how the technology works is presented here.
