With all the hoopla about the new Apple iPhone's arrival mere moments from now and with people like Robert Scoble standing on line in Palo Alto («because that's where all the geeks will be»), I thought this cartoon from bLaugh expressed my feelings about the frenzy pretty accurately. I just wish it said iPhooey rather than iPhoney.
This morning I decided to look at what the manufacturer (Post) recommends as a serving size for a bowl of the cereal I eat. 'Tain't much folks. A half cup of cereal together with a half cup of milk is supposed to get you off on the right foot for the day, and to power your 30 minutes a day of vigorous exercise, and to last you until lunch arrives. I'm sure that in some parts of the world this amount of food might seem quite adequate. Indeed! it might be the stuff of gratitude in some countries.
In this short video, I demonstrate a few of the shortcut keys I use in reading RSS feeds in Google Reader.
If any of you are still checking this weblog, you'll have noticed that I haven't posted anything new here in a couple of weeks. I haven't been incarcerated, or hospitalized, and I am not in a coma, I'm pleased to report, but I just haven't felt up to posting anything, and the longer I have waited to post the more difficult it has been to think of anything significant to say upon my return. Why I have these blockages, I don't know, but have them I do occasionally, so that's just the way it is. I'll use this post to note a few things that have happened and comment on some discoveries I made while I was on my unplanned vacation from posting.
Watch this seven plus minute video and prepare to be amazed at what an application called Photosynth can do. It's architect, Blaise Aguera y Arcas, demonstrates and describes the technology and what lies ahead. (Link courtesy of Michael K. Bergman of AI3.) It's so amazing, I almost want to begin exercising just to ensure I stay around long enough to see where all this is leading. Wow.
If you've been a reader of this blog for any time at all, you'll have seen me mention my friend Paul Moor, whom I have known now since the early 1990s, almost 15 years.
