There’s a cool new device called the EyeWriter that has been developed to empower people who suffer from paralysis: it allows them to write and draw using only their eye movements, and it’s way cheaper than any of the current alternatives.  If enough people vote for it on the Pepsi “Good Ideas” website, Pepsi will donate a whole lot of money so the EyeWriter can get to the folks who so desperately need it.  To vote, just go here.  You can vote every day through the end of August (similar to the system that has long been used in Chicago elections).  Major props to my pal Paige Reinis for helping to get the EyeWriter project past the first round of eliminations at Pepsi!  (Insert your own inappropriate joke here regarding cola consumption and elimination.)
