13 Year Old Forced To Use Walkman For A Week
This is priceless. On the 30th anniversary of Sony’s Walkman, a 13 year old boy was forced to use a Walkman so we could get some honest feedback about the importance of this day.
Hilarity ensued.
My favorite: “Even when he discovered the cassette had more music on the other side (it took him three days), Campbell was still disappointed it could only hold a small fraction of what an iPod can.”
I just remember how much cooler skiing was when I borrowed my Dad’s “book-sized” personal stereo on a downhill run. Now THAT was livin’.
Wolfram Alpha Screencast!
I’ve been following the Wolfram Alpha project for a while now, and love the idea of this as an ongoing project that just gets smarter over time.
This screencast is a great snapshot of the soon-to-be-released first offerings.
My New Favorite Website
Dang, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted.
I’ve been busy…
Here’s my first attempt at filtering the knowledge I’ve collected in the last few months. Check the website. Please bear with me during this period of seeming inactivity.
This is way ahead of it’s time kind of stuff.
The Millenium give us “I Just Want To Be Your Friend (Alice in Acidland)” from way back in 1968. Listen to those phat beats.
As for the video… well, what can one say? I don’t think Austin Powers can compete with this kind of madness.
Coding While On the Go! Mozilla Labs Introduces Bespin
More excellent innovation from the folks at Mozilla, this time it is a sneak peek at the future of coding. Bespin is a new code editor that lives in the cloud, and allows for realtime collaboration on software projects.
What a cool concept!
Even cooler is that the code editor is accessible from anywhere… this means that you can take your dev environment with you without having to take your laptop with you. Imagine being able to login on anywhere in the world and have your environment be right there at your fingertips!
