Passing mention of Rev

[Björnke von Gierke]

"Touched: the making of a Mac-compatible multitouch monitor"

Recently there's lots of media coverage for Rev, but this one is  
especially intriguing to me, despite it's en-passant style. The  
article is about a teenager who made a multi touch screen as his  
internship at a "Space Center".  It seems that's some kind of Star  
Trek simulator summer camp thingy (damn, why didn't this exist when I  
was younger?).

The Article mentions:
*
Some students are lucky enough to be brought on as interns, where they  
learn to program in Revolution—a sort of great grandchild of  
HyperCard. It is no wonder that with a background like this, a  
technology like multi-touch, which even ten years ago would have  
seemed straight out of a science-fiction novel, piqued his interest.

Too bad the final product does use obj-c instead of Rev as an  
interface to the multi touch screen, anyone up for an external? ;-)
