Stuff that only geeks would be interested in. Of course when I say “geeks” I really mean the cool guys because geeks are actually cool and cool guys are actually dipshits.

Beta version of the holideck

This would be pretty easy and inexpensive to set up.  Each person needs a projector (  about five hundred dollars  ), a projector screen, a web cam with audio support, and a decent Internet connection. You position the projector screen about eight to 10 feet away from you and position your web cam pointing back in your direction just to the side of the projection screen.  I do the exact same thing and project your web cam and onto my projection screen and you project my WebCam image onto your projection screen.  This gives us both the illusion that our desks are positioned about 10 feet away from each other and because the WebCams are positioned with live video and [...]

Wiki technology in desktop search

Wiki technology is interesting because it enables you to hyperlink words and phrases to more information about those words and phrases.  Enabling anyone to weave his way through the train of thought and knowledge.  It would be nice to be able to have all of my voice-recognition writings be automatically linked together by subject and keyword.  So for example if I'm writing about this topic having to do with voice recognition and I wanted to look back to what I have written about voice-recognition over the past six months I could drill down into my history of voice-recognition discussions.  Right now if I wanted to do that I could search my weblog, I could search text that I've written in [...]

The next step for open ID?

What about a way to comment on different websites and control who gets to see those comments.  Audio comments, text comments, video comments,... I can see my mother's comments and she can see mine.  I can see James Spillane comments on Chris's weblog and vice versa however a random visitor to the website cannot.  I can look in my mother's profile and see recent websites that she has commented on.  And read or listen to those comments.  Read, watch, or listen, I can make all of my comments publicly available and people can follow me around on the Internet and see what I'm talking about.

switching from Yahoo business e-mail to Gmail applications e-mail

Here are my brief notes on how to switch from Yahoo business e-mail to Gmail applications e-mail. First of all I had to set up the domain on Dreamhost, when I set up the domain I made sure to use the Gmail e-mail option, and then set out to Gmail administrative account, (if you’re not hosted at Dreamhost the process for setting up a Gmail application administrator account will not be as easy… just google for Google applications to figure it out.) and then waited a couple hours, I was then able to create a new user in the Google applications area.  […]

Wish I was here…

Just wanted to post a photo of what I am missing when I'm not living in Bali. Other news: Tawan has homework, Thailand is having more political problems, was doing some research on Hillary's RFK statement and discovered this guy Farrakhan, gold is back up to 900 something, went to Karon yesterday with my family and Chris's family, built a bunch of sand castles and tunnels on the beach, pulled Tawan around on the boogie board, had a mediocre surf this evening however bumped into "talk a lot" Mark who is just back from a trip to the states, time to get to work. Recently installed software: Add Muncher: I ended up purchasing the software for 30 bucks after being [...]
