Little Big Planet

November 5, 2008

I just came across the tutorial videos and now I’m even more excited about this game.  I don’t have a PS3, but this game might actually be the tipping point for me.  Check out these videos.  From now on all my videos will have British narration with lots of specific British colloquialisms.

Enter the Matrix Code

August 8, 2008

You’ve all seen them before on your mail and packages. They are starting to turn up all over the place. It’s also becoming a much more complicated landscape. There are more and more types of two-dimensional matrix barcode appearing all the time. The majority of them are consisting of black and white square modules arranged [...]

Windows 7 multitouch

May 28, 2008

Looks like some “Windows 7″ multitouch is starting to, er, surface. Video: Multi-Touch in Windows 7 personally, this doesn’t seem that special. WPF has had the ability to author multitouch for a little while now. There just hasn’t been any hardware except the Wii hacks and the Surface. Oh and a side note. This is [...]

Interactive everywhere

May 21, 2008

I’m not surprised too much by the idea of putting interactive technology in every place imaginable.  I don’t think it will be too long before we find games in urinals at bars.   The example on the right is demonstration of an interactive floor that was created for Swarovski Kristallwelten called Ice Passage.  There’s a nice [...]

Tweetclouds

May 15, 2008

I tried out tweedclouds today and found out just how boring my tweets are!  Actually to be fair it’s a mix of my delicious and tweets.  I already knew my delicious was chocked full of “interesting” stuff.  That’s mostly what I use it for.  To bookmark stuff that I won’t remember after a first reading, [...]

OLPC, future of computing, and stuff…

May 11, 2008

I’m sitting here in a Starbucks trying out the OLPC as a blogging platform. It’s a great little machine for so many reasons, but I’m actually finding myself a little limited trying to do real stuff that I do everyday on this system. Sure it wasn’t designed for this at all so I will be [...]

Live Mesh in use

May 8, 2008

I managed to convince some of my co-workers to start using Live Mesh as a lightweight collaboration tool.  The experience has been interesting so far.  We’re all  working with one shared folder at the moment.  Since the features are pretty limited in the preview that’s about the best we can do. One of the first [...]

Why Targeted Advertising is Important

May 7, 2008

I found this ad today while doing a little research about Microsoft’s SharePoint Server I very much like the juxtaposition of Mary Kay “Enriching Women’s Lives” and Grand Theft Auto.  It’s pure magic. I wouldn’t have guessed that this ad was a good idea on this page as it is.  Let alone the conflict that [...]

Clay Shirky on Cognitive Surplus

May 2, 2008

While I was at the Web 2.0 Expo last week I saw Clay Shirky give a talk on Cognitive Surplus. Out of all the things I learned at the event this one has really stuck with me. You can find the the full transcription online as well. I need to get his new book “Here [...]

Microsoft Surface in AT&T Retail Store

May 2, 2008

I’m not sure why we don’t have one of these here in Seattle with AT&T wireless based here and Microsoft here.  It seems silly.  That being said, this video is a nice demo of the experience.
