NFL Goes 3D – Good Way to Fight Pirates!

Image via Wikipedia

There is a closed beta test coming up in which the NFL will live-broadcast a game into a theater with 3D capabilities.

Not only does this sound like a pretty cool way to watch football, it is a step in the right direction when it comes to figuring out how to offer viewers new reasons to spend their money when so much content is available for free – legally or otherwise.

Something like watching a live 3D broadcast of your local football team in a theater full of like-minded fans sounds like a pretty damn marketable endeavor.

Is this the next wave of DIY PR?  Perhaps.  I guess the question is whether or not she has that much of an audience to begin with.  If not, it is unlikely to get much interest from promoters around the globe.

Future Awesome – 3D Printers

3D Printers are already starting to revolutionize the world and have been a big element is many of the sci-fi books of my youth.

Wondering how long before you have your very own 3D Printer?  Think about this:  a good 3D Printer today is about the same cost as a laser printer was in 1985.

“When the The Apple LaserWriter first hit the mass market in 1985, the desktop publishing revolution was born. With a starting price of $6995 the unit weighed a hefty 77 lb (35kg) and was 11.5 x 18.5 x 16.2 inches”

Sweet!
