World Wide WTF: Free Art & Technology

F.A.T., in this case at least, stands for Free Art & Technology. We absolutely love this...love it! "The Free Art and Technology (F.A.T.) Lab is an organization dedicated to enriching the public domain through the research and development of creative technologies and media. Release early, often and with rap music. This is Notorious R&D." Saving the world, one open source project and nerdy rap joke at a time.

One project in particular really makes our internet hearts bleed. Auto Smiley from Theo Watson is a lovely, simple little app. If you have a built in web cam and leave it running in the background, the camera automatically detects every time you smile and inserts a :) into whatever text you're writing. Seems silly, but it's adorable. Just watch the video of him trying to explain it without smiling.
