Cool new Blog Tech

This week on Engadget, I read a post about how someone managed to make a gameboy emulator using JAVA. Apparently the only reason that they made the emulator, was in order to prove that java could be useful for such a device. He wanted to show that java was not only useful for creating games, but whole systems. I found this to be pretty cool because up until this point I think that my class mates and I have seen little real world application to what we have been doing, so seeing such a post could remind us that there is more to what we are learning then the ability to find the letter m in compsci. This blog post seemed to show a possible future project for us which made me more excited then ever to be able to do such a thing.
