In limbo, these just don't fit anywhere else

I love Lauren Bacall

3/10/2010 – 10:07 am

Did you see all the dish Lauren Bacall is offering up from just watching the Oscars? I have to say I love her more than ever now.
You can read for yourself everything else she had to say over at her twitter feed (Lauren_Bacall).

Skinput

Sweet! These folks are exploring ways to use your skin as input for computer devices. One version includes a Pico projector that allows you to play video games on your hand.
The video shows a guy poking at his arm and hands and fingers to play Tetris, to control his iPod, and to navigate through [...]

How to Report the News

1/28/2010 – 4:24 pm

This is brilliant! I ran across it on The Kidman Project, my friend Rob's website. Thanks, Rob, for sharing!
BTW, it does have a little bit of swearing (including the F word in one place). Ah, those Brits. They didn't call us Puritans for nothing…

Painting the world plaid

1/19/2010 – 5:52 pm

What did you do today? Somebody asks me that question every day. It's not always the same person, but it is always the same question.
So here's what I did today: I painted the world plaid. No, seriously. It was no easy feat.

Go Captian & Tennille! a.k.a. we don't need no stinking QA

12/25/2009 – 10:13 pm

Today, Allan and Eunice gave me the Captain & Tennille "Ultimate Collection" DVD for Christmas. Yay team!
I was such a fan in Jr. High School. I once tried to sing my way to free tickets to one of their concerts on a radio station. Nothing like a 7th grader singing "I will, I will, [...]

Creature of Habit

10/29/2009 – 2:13 pm

I've been going through my Phineas and Ferb stage lately, and all the screens on my various Macs that I manage all have pictures of Agent P on them.
The thing that made me laugh was when I inadvertently started controlling the Mac Mini with the Ginourmous new iMac's Snow Leopard screen sharing. The window [...]

Always Look Both Ways

10/19/2009 – 5:07 pm

I'm amazed by the number of folks in Portland who just walk into the street and don't even look at traffic. I was equally amazed in Boston by the way people on foot just expect the cars to stop (and they did). So when I ran across this video on YouTube, I had [...]

Incredible, amazing, (cool), Apple

9/17/2009 – 1:00 pm

In case you haven't watched the keynote that introduce this year's lineup of iPods, here it is. Someone has edited it down to a minute and a half, in all of it's incredible glory.

9/15/2009 – 9:23 am

Here's an interesting article from Seth Godin's blog. You may have heard of him, he has a couple of books about marketing and writes daily on his blog. I read it occasionally and recommend it enthusiastically.
The problem with non
