And no, I don't just mean because as I'm writing this, Barak Obama looks like he's going to win the US presidential election (Yay - on behalf of the rest of the planet!).

Something much more important happened today. During its election telecast, CNN started using holograms to beam it's reporters into the studio.

Seriously, dudes. Frackin' HOLOGRAMS!

How? Well, according to Jessica Yellin, the world's first Hologramee reporter (yeah... yeah... I know... I made that word up) she was "inside a tent in Chicago that's been built -- engineers spent about three weeks doing it. There are 35 high-definition cameras ringing me, in a ring around me. I'm in the center. And they shoot my body at different angles, and I'm told that transmits what looks like an entire body image back there to New York. These cameras, I'm told, talk to the cameras in New York, so they move and they know when to move when the cameras in New York move."

Yellin also said "It's like I'm following in the tradition of Princess Leia."

Hahahaha
