The Watchlist - A social tool

Does anyone else have a watch list, or a read list that is more for the benefit of others than yourself?

It had mirrors and parallel bars across one side for ballet, but was used for other large events when needed. Sitting in training like I was, with the huge vaulted space above me I decided to close the journal I had been furiously scribbling in, and speak. "...yyyeeaah?" Everyone chuckled a bit. I tried to compose my thoughts. "I think our programming is... well Meat-space-centric?" Looking around the room I had everyone's eyes, and they looked like the eyes of someone who has just heard a soon to be passerby start yammering under their breath. They were braced for some crazy. I continued. "People use the term meat-space to present a dichotomy between the 'real' and 'virtual' worlds. I mean there is no such thin

Ever since I was little I wanted a Theremin. Only now, after I built one on UE4 (the Unreal Engine 4) have I discovered my inability to play it. I bet you guys can do better though! Use Paypal to  drop me a tip if you want, but you can download it for free.  If you have ideas for features, comments on the project, or just want to talk, leave comments or tweet me.  If it makes $100 bucks I can apply to Greenlight on Steam!
