Font creation is something only the geekiest might bother with, but what could possibly be greater than having a font which mimics your actual handwriting!? I know, I know, I had you at “font creation,” but in all seriousness, there are swaths of fun applications to be had! For instance, you could add a personal touch to your own website using sIFR techniques. Maybe you could add a “personal” note to any of the documents which need your review. Or even “write” your Christmas cards to your family and friends and print them en masse instead of grinding through them once a year. Okay, so maybe they won’t change your life in any significant way, but I dare anyone to tell me its not fun.

A recent demonstration from MIT’s Media Lab has me floored. This is a great vision for pervasive computing. I expect to see within the decade devices which work towards enhancing lifestyles without conscious interaction. We’re starting to see the first steps in that direction with GPS-enabled devices like the iPhone and HTC G1 with allow applications to leverage your location to provide context-sensitive information. Many of these applications are simply fun ideas, but there are companies like TeleNav who are making their GPS navigation software available for the T-Mobile G1 Handset.
Check out the demonstration for Sixth Sense after the jump. The future is looking good.
