Weekend Project - Foam Swords. Now the kids can hit dad as hard as they want!

A really fun afternoon project. And cheap! $24 is enough material to create 3 swords. You can see our step by step process in our Flickr set. http://www.flickr.com/photos/merwin/sets/72157623772416077/

This is it. Makes COMPLETE sense for application development. I love this approach and will be adopting it for my projects starting now.

quake2-gwt-port - Project Hosting on Google Code - HTML5 Quake II
Quake II and the Quake logo are trademarks of id Software.
Note: We recently reset the repository to clean some things up, so if you cloned it you may find that the commit ids no longer match, and you'll need to re-clone. Our apologies for any inconvenience.
Quake II GWT Port
The Quake II GWT port brings the 3d gaming experience of Quake II to the browser.
In the port, we use WebGL, the Canvas API, HTML 5 <audio> elements, the local storage API, and WebSockets to demonstrate the possibilities of pure web applications in modern browsers such as Safari and Chrome.
The port is based on the Jake2 project, compiled to Javascript using the Google Web Toolkit (GWT). Jake 2 is a Java port of the original Quake II source code, which was open sourced by id software.
To make the Jake 2 code work with GWT, we have
- Created a new WebGL based renderer
- Ported the network layer for multiplayer games from UDP to the WebSocket API
- Made all resource loading calls asynchronous
- Created a GWT implementation of Java nio buffers based on WebGL arrays (to be ported to ECMAScript Typed Arrays)
- Implemented a simple file system emulation for saving games and preferences using the Web Storage API
Thanks
id Software for building a great game and having the foresight to open-source it. Bytonic Software for doing the Java port, and proving it could be just as fast as the native one. Vladimir Vukićević for his pioneering work on Canvas3D and WebGL. Links

I am SO sick of hearing that the iPad sucks because it doesn't have Flash. This is an example of what HTML5 is capable of. Do you still think that you need Flash to create great interactives? Seriously?
