I’ve been interviewing applicants for a house rental for the past couple of weeks and have believed in most cases that I could spot whether somebody was trustworthy or not with some reliability, and within moments of meeting them. Of course, I then walk away and second-guess myself the rest of the time. So far [...]

This video is extremely well executed. Unfortunately, it’s a million times better than the song. Alas, worth a view… There’s someone at the door. Will someone open up the door? Will someone answering (sic) the door? Will someone leave me all alone?

Aahhhh, this has me waxing nostalgic. You probably recall the insane coolness that was “Take On Me,” by A-Ha. Now imagine if the song actually just literally explained the video. It’s a pretty funny result. Enjoy!

Some of the folks at Amazon.com have been working on a new, multi-sensory, multi-media shopping experience. It’s called Windowshop and I think it’s pretty intriguing and led me to several products I probably wouldn’t have found otherwise. Give it a look-see and let me know what you think!

This video shows the process of getting Feedbooks up and running on your Kindle. With Feedbooks, your Kindle can use its wireless connection to download any of thousands of public domain books, for FREE! I just downloaded “War and Peace” in about 10 seconds. Awesome.

Kind of fun. I grabbed a text file of “A Tale of Two Cities” and put it into Wordle to generate a Word Usage Cloud of the top 75 words.

Imagine standing in a completely vacant Shibuya Station admiring the lines: up, down, left, right. Beautiful. An opportunity that doesn’t exist in the everyday. It has the atmosphere of one of those hidden spaces accessed through Haruki Murakami’s fiction. Does anyone have an idea of how to take a screenshot of a flash tour like [...]

I just discovered the marvelous Spherical Cow website today, a collection of thoughtful and funny comics. There aren’t a ton of them but what there is, is great. I really like this one on “Many Worlds.” This comic is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License.
