Does it ever bother you how many people there are out there working on the same problems in their own little ways? In my technology centric world I see individuals, groups, and companies have great ideas all the time. Unfortunately they spend so much time and effort trying to make THEIR idea become THE idea […]

Mrs. fall-line came through in a big way this week with a killer birthday present. I now find myself as the proud owner of a shiny new 8gb Apple iPhone. I’m not going to pretend to write a full fledged review of the device, as there are about 1.3 million (really, I checked) others out […]

Back in February of 2006 I wrote (well actually, I didn’t write much) about an incredible video I’d come across which demonstrates a technology which I thought represented a bright future in computer/user interaction. The inventor of the interface technology and co-founder of the company which produced the device you see in the video is […]

A good friend of mine sent me an instant message the other day. To paraphrase, he said ‘you have a Wii? I have two…‘
SOLD! I said, without hesitation, and proceeded to write a check.
Since their initial release, I’ve been telling myself that when the Wii becomes more readily available at retail price, I’d buy one. […]

I hate Macs. I have always hated Macs. I hate people who use Macs. I even hate people who don’t use Macs but sometimes wish they did. Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe […]

Like many long time flickr users, I was upset yesterday afternoon when I received a mail from flickr saying my old login is gone (though to be fair, the accounts themselves are untouched) , and I now have to use a Yahoo account to login to the site…. I hate having to explain how to access a new site or service to someone, or worse yet, ask them to sign up for an account just to view something I’ve posted.Here are the services that I’ll be evaluating in the coming weeks: flickr (I know it well, and except for the Yahoo meddling, love it)23fotkizoomr (this one seems to have the largest and most supportive user base of the flickr alternatives)smugmugI may very well decide that after all this to just suck it up, the Yahoo login isn’t as painful as I thought it would be, or that the other services just don’t offer what I need in a way that I’m comfortable with. I will certainly be paying for at least one of these services in the coming months to support my photo addiction hobby, I just don’t know which.Of course, I welcome any suggestions based on your experiences with these or other services.

The beer can is in for a technology makeover that will shake-up the beverage industry, and it’s being brought to you by a company called Tempra Technology, which has ambitious plans for their cold can technology.The specially modified cans use proprietary engineering to create a temperature drop that will reduce the I.C…. The average American drinks 22 Gallons of beer annually, and even though this product would demand a large price premium over a traditional can, the convenience factor and bragging rights would make this a must have item. Camping and fishing will drivethe initial sales, and as volumes increase more andmore uses will be found.Expect the first cans to show up on store shelves in mid-2007 under the Miller Genuine Draft and Miller Lite labels.These are two beers that I wouldn’t ordinarily purchase for a summer afternoon at home where I have one of those new fanged electric iceboxes.
