Isn’t Emma Lulu cute?! I used this week’s Splitcoast Stampers Sketch and paired it with BasicGrey DP.

One of the better uses of cloud computing could be project management, since it would let team members check in from anywhere and make sure things are still moving according to plan. Elementool , a Tel Aviv and New York-based company, offers one such package, at least at a basic level.
While high-profile smartphones – the iPhone, the Droid, the Palm Pre and the rest of the gang – get the lion’s share of attention, it’s important to remember that the bulk of phones are not too smart.

As he puts it: “When the guitar is too sexy and the piano makes too much sense, it’s time to stick a bunch of sensors to your body with electrical tape and plug it all into your computer!” How it works: There’s a small electret microphone attached to my foot, and two bend sensors on my arm: one in my elbow, and one on my finger.

Get ready to hear a lot about speech and voice recognition. As applications multiply and the goings-on on the typical mobile device grows more complex, the most direct, and in many cases safest, way to interact with a device is to tell it what to do.
