This is a video showing BlueMaemo, an application that allows you to control your PS3 with a Nokia N900. Well, it will allow you to control any number of devices, it’s just that there’s a video of it interacting with a PS3. All hail mighty Bluetooth, king of the wireless protocols.
The video is in Italian, but it should be easy enough to follow. It’s not like too much is going on or anything.
The application is totally free, and was developed by Valério Domingos Valério, a Benfica fan. Incidentally, that makes he and I mortal enemies, being a former Sporting season ticket holder. (And how good is Jorge Jesus? Oh, wait, nobody knows what I’m talking about! Woo~!)

Tired of all the commercialism that tends to surround the holidays these days? Looking to simplify your celebrations next year? Well instead of putting up mountains of tacky decorations around the house, you can set up this modern take on the traditional nativity scene. Designed by Oliver Fabel, the set consists of wooden blocks with simple labels designating who Joseph, Mary, Jesus and the wise men are. The set does appear to be available for sale on Oliver’s website for about $35, but you’ll probably have to email him directly if you’re interested in ordering one.
