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’.
“ Have no fear of perfection - you will never attain it.
Salvador Dali keepin’ it real.
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.
“ You will easily discover every man’s prevailing vanity, by observing his favourite topic of conversation; for every man talks most of what he has most a mind to be thought to excel in.
You’ll never look at daily interactions the same way after being exposed to nuggets like these by Lord Chesterfield.
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.
“ Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.
Lao-Tsu on my current daily mantra… eat, sleep, code… eat, sleep, code… eat, sleep, ….
“ Play is the exultation of the possible.
Martin Buber
“ Nothing is worth more than this day.
I’ve had this quote from Goethe next to my bathroom mirror for the past 3 years - it never ceases to center me. Day in, and day out.
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.
This is what the future looked like to sci-fi Germans in or around 1966.
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!
“ The best way out is always through.
