I love github pages. Free hosting is awesome; and so is push-to-deploy. With client-side js apps in vogue; the fact that gh-pages can't run server-side code almost isn't limiting.
If you navigate to a gh-pages URL that doesn't correspond to an actual file in the repository, you get a 404. This makes sense, but makes permanent urls for content in database-driven apps tricky.

I'm personally super excited about realtime 3d gesture sensors like the Kinect or the LeapMotion.
I don't think there's an established name for this category of devices yet, so I'm gonna use the more general term, Motion Controllers as a synechdoche for the smaller subset of devices I'm talking about.

Personally, the moment in Magritte's response to Fantômas that most interested me was at the end of the coup de theatre when he posited that Fantômas can only be captured by entering his dreams.
His notes were published in 1928, the year after he moved to France and became acquainted with André Breton and joined the surrealist group. André Breton defined the goal of the surrealists as, 'to resolve the previously contradictory conditions of dream and reality into an absolute reality, a super-reality'.
A monument is a celebration of someone’s impact on the world, and of the empty void they leave behind them.
These days, your legacy is manifested as much in intangible media is it is in physical reality.
Celebrate your loved ones with a monument for the digital age.
