Chris MM Gordon
I'm Chris MM Gordon, a starter, business and social entrepreneur. (I also go by Chris Gordon, but turns out there's a lot of them...!)
This is a collection of personal interests, videos, blog posts, music, a bit of design and things that make me go "Aahh."
I'm in Ireland and a lot of things interest me. The more I see of the world, the less I know. I hope to never stop exploring.
You'll find out more about me at my blog ChrisMMGordon.
My more professional profile can be found on LinkedIn.
I am the Founder of 222 Ireland (http://www.222.ie), the Chairman of the Irish Export Cooperative and owner of the Trophies Awards and Gifts Store.
I like social enterprise, social entrepreneurship, social innovation, cooperatives, and new ways of thinking about life and business.
Try not to go without saying hi!

Projector Digitally Aligns Your Billiard Shots in Real Time
A team of students from the University of the Algarve in Portugal designed a projector, called PoolLiveAid, that creates real-time light predictions of billiard shots — sort of like a “digital cheat code” for pool. The projector hangs above the table and analyzes the position of the billiard ball, then detects lines that correspond to it in relation to the cue, which it shines onto the table.
