Film Cameras…
Is this for real?
Commercial touts benefits of film cameras over digital cameras – Boing Boing.
Everything Is a Remix…
Everything is a Remix, Part 1 : Everything Is a Remix
Is it a remix or is it just simply “sharing best practices”?
The Daily Mail…
“What has this country come to when a journalist presumes to make moral pronouncements…”
I’ve never met a Daily Mail journalist. Didn’t think that they lived in the same universe.
Vertigo…
Bloglines…
When I first started using a RSS Reader I used Bloglines.
It served me well for a number of years; then they started having service outages. That drove me mad so I changed to Google. In fact, I think that I used Google reader seriously before Gmail.
However, this appeared in my Google Reader today…
Apparently, this is because everyone wants their news via Twitter and Facebook.
Really?
Personally, Facebook is nowhere close to replacing my use of Google Reader. For me, Bloglines died because when I look at the screenshot. Nothing has changed since I logged off years ago.
UPDATE: My account still exists! 13,400 outstanding items to read!
1983…
In 1983 I was 12.
Return of the Jedi was all that I wanted, a massive film completely set in another world. The anticipation was massive; when I saw it I couldn’t believe the details of the worlds they’d produced.
However, I only saw it once. There was something unsatisfying about the whole thing.
Maybe this is why…
Asteroids…
Globe Genie…
This is fun…
It’s 99% places you wouldn’t want to live with 1% of places too expensive to live.
Good reflection of the world I think.
Office software…
I wonder how many people would recognize this as an office software setup…
“Right now in Chromium I have the following tabs opened: I listen to music in Grooveshark (yes I work with music right now Kevin Rudolf “Let it Rock”), I blog in Tumblr, I have Seesmic desktop to see what’s happening in Twitter and Facebook simultaneously, I use Postbox for my email (I love Postbox), Netvibes to find out what is happening in the world (outside of Twitter and Facebook), Gmail is open as well for Gmail back up, calendar. My searches don’t happen at Google.com anymore, they go straight from my browser bar to Google (Firefox must add this feature immediately!). Skype is also running.”
Fancy computers and Microsoft don’t matter anymore (at least at work).
