This is absolutely amazing. A completely online flash based audio editor. It really is jaw dropping how complex and in-depth this thing is.

A robot playing pool (billiards for you sticklers out there) in a research lab. That was cool, but I thought the coolest part was actually the overlay that you see later in the video when the human started playing.

Regrets About Following Dave Matthews Band

Exactly. I’m not a Dave Matthews Band fan. I admit, I don’t get it. I know several people who are fucking nuts about them. Don’t get me wrong, I liked “What Would You Say”, but that was the extent of it.

Needed to post this somewhere so that I will remember to come back to this site and check it out occasionally. Really cool, simple idea. It is an “ajax-powered text editor”. You can log in with your Google Account. Don’t worry, you actually go to Google’s page to do the signing in. Cool, check it out.

Windows 7 New Folder Keyboard Shortcut

Finally.

I’m trying out Windows 7 RC1 (7100) build via Boot Camp on my MacBook Pro. While clicking around I had to check out some of my old pet peeves to see if they had been fixed. One of those is that there has never been a simple way of creating a new folder in Windows with a keyboard shortcut. There is a workaround that I have been using for years, alt>f>w>f, but it isn’t the simplest.

Now there is a real keyboard shortcut for creating a new folder if you are using Windows 7.

Control+Shift+N

AT&T Doubling 3G Capacity to 7.2 Mb/s

Says Telephony Online:

Tweaks to the HSPA network will bring 3G capacity up to 7.2 Mb/s even before AT&T implements next-gen wireless technologies

So this is something I am looking forward to. If the wireless carriers could ever get enough backbone bandwidth in place to handle the influx of people dropping their wired internet connections it could be the next breakthrough in technology. If I could get a 10 meg wireless connection that I could take with me when I leave home, I would seriously consider dropping my cable internet. I’m sure even the possibility of doing this is several years away at this point.

There is some confusion out there right now as to whether the iPhone 3G (my current cell) can support the 7.2 MB links as is or if it will be in the next version of iPhone hardware.

Ryan Block says that current hardware can indeed support this speed. Many others disagree.



Hey, Thanks Tivo!

Thank you Tivo for allowing me to pay a service fee so that you can sell all that cool data you collect while I watch tv.

Thank you Tivo for showing more and more advertisements on just about every screen.

It should either be show me ads and give me the service for free, or let me pay the service fee and show me no ads. Not both.

Damn you Tivo for working so well. Seriously. Congratulations on being the best DVR platform going. I used the DVR from my cable company (Insight Communications) and it was absolute junk. Varying between slow response and no response when using the remote it has long since been returned. I can’t wait for a worthy competitor to pop up and push things forward like the iPhone did with the cell phone market.

I’ve been keeping up with The Masters by watching the streaming video online. The video quality is absolutely superb. Make sure you click the picture to see the actual size. I accessed the video from CBSsports.com but it looks like it is coming from Masters.com.
