Gamers know Will Wright as the amazingly creative mind behind “sandbox” games like SimCity , The Sims , and most recently, Spore . But last year he left behind Maxis, the studio he created to produce those games, and formed Stupid Fun Club , a startup aimed at crafting entertainment projects that go beyond gaming. The first product of his efforts is Bar Karma , a television series (yep, you read that right) that’s set to air on CurrentTV in early 2011. Nothing is known about the show’s premise, but its production style is the big news, because Wright has designed it to be fully interactive — in every way imaginable. Bar Karma will be comprised of four stages of production: 1) Viewers logon to the Bar Karma website and join the online community; 2) Community members submit their ideas for ongoing storylines, including storyboards; 3) Community members vote on their favorite of these ideas; 4) Once a winning idea is selected, production company Worldwide Biggies will “adapt, shoot, produce, and edit” the story into 30 minutes of (hopefully) watchable television.

Craig Smith of South Milwaukee, WI, wrote in to share the progress he’s made on his homebrew astronomy rig: Since my moon photo was featured almost a year ago, I have a better telescope, a homemade tracking motor and some ok planetary photos. Saturn is currently on the other side of the sun, but earlier this year I took some shots. Also that brightest ‘star’ in the sky lately is Jupiter.

The line between phones and computers becomes more blurred with every few months of technology that passes. The original move was the release of the iPhone , and the subsequent smartphone releases that followed. These handsets featured call, mobile email and text capabilities, cameras as per previous phone models, and increased usability such as word processors, applications, and a touchscreen. Connection ports were added so that phones no longer served solely as contact devices, but could be hooked up to other systems and used for entertainment purposes. After a few generations of the smartphone, and in a different part of the technology family, the popularity of the netbook laptop, Apple had a groundbreaking idea to merge the two into a new form of technology – the tablet computer.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab will launch on Sprint on November 14th, according to one of the Boy Genius ‘ sources. The same person said that the Android-powered tablet will set you back $399 if you opt to sign a new 2-year contract with Sprint, or $599 contract-free. That certainly isn’t a big subsidy, and is nowhere near the great price of free that you can get the Galaxy Tab for in Sweden . $399 is also $100 more than what a Samsung exec had us expect a while ago when he said that the tablet would go for $200-$300 (subsidized)

In case you haven’t been keeping up on your HTC G2 news: The recently released Android 2.2, G2 handset from T-Mobile has a built-in security feature that is having an adverse effect on those who are trying to root the device. As T-Mobile explains: The HTC software implementation on the G2 stores some components in read-only memory as a security measure to prevent key operating system software from becoming corrupted and rendering the device inoperable. There is a small subset of highly technical users who may want to modify and re-engineer their devices at the code level, known as “rooting,” but a side effect of HTC’s security measure is that these modifications are temporary and cannot be saved to permanent memory. As a result the original code is restored. This is good for those users who are not interest in root access; as the chance of a bricked device become slimmer.

Nothing is more tiring than the journey anymore; getting to airports hours early, waiting in long lines, being herded like cattle through security only to find that there are no seats left for your oversold flight at the already over-packed gate … ugh! But the ends justify the means, right? And whether it is for vacation or business, we continue to endure the pitfalls of modern day travel.
