Hello.

Long term readers might remember a while ago I linked to a Kickstarter page [http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/readmatter/matter] to fund Bobbie Johnson and Jim Giles in their long form journalism project, 'Matter'. It should launch in the next few weeks, and Bobbie has quit his job to make it happen. I’m really excited for them.

Dominic Wilcox designed some GPS Shoes
“the GPS, which is embedded in the heal, is activated by a heal click. It then communicates to the wearer via a ring of LED lights to point in the required direction. The shoe with the GPS wirelessly communicates with the right shoe that has a progress bar of lights to show how close you are to the destination”
