Xdrive launches video-sharing service | CNET News.com "Online storage company Xdrive is trying to do for video what Shutterfly and Ofoto have done for photos--letting people share the memories."
I wish I could upload the videos I take on my Canon digital camera and then have a server-based solution that would encode and stream them in a variety of formats for my on-line friends.
We're here. OK, now what?
Hey, my flash obsession with skyscrapers isn't a reason for determining travel destinations! It's a way to appreciate two of my favorite hip intellectual escapes, architecture and city development.
Did you know that Sandy Springs (a dozen or so minutes north of Atlanta) holds the title of tallest suburban building in the U.S.A.? I interned in the King building (Concourse Corporate Center 5) one summer during high school.
WHAT I'M DOING FOR THIS IS LISTENING TO ladytron - true mathematics AND TRANSLATING (based on musical innuance) THE ROUGH DIALOGUE.

It's late now, and my old telephone line (now definitely the always fax line for Dad) has rang twice in the past eve. Do we always get these junk faxes? Dad, I knew spam was a big problem for your e-mail, but this... So. What would a VXML-based fax version of SpamCop look like?
(This would be early stage, non-Bayesian filtering. The bad computers haven't gotten that bad yet.)

Is Love.com born to be wild?
The fact that AOL has hard-core entered the personals market. I'm not sure if I want to bludgeon or hug. Have I told you about CampusHook? It's the best place for elitists to meet college students. I wouldn't trust those other generic sites with my profile.
I’ve never been to a country as friendly as Iran. And I’ve never been to a country as frustrated as Iran. This frustration was all the people talked about. After background civilities: “Where are you from? What is your job? What do you think of my country?” were done with what they really wanted to talk about came out: “So you like my country? I don’t. No, I love my country. But I hate my government. It is horrible and no good for the Iranian people.” They shake their heads. “And we can not stop the government; anyone who tries disappears. It is horrible.”
per this BootsnAll Travelogue, one of the best travel journals I have read in quite some time. Grab a cup of tea- it's well worth your time.
Multiplicity's USE Uncertain States of Europe is before me. I've been reading it for a few hours, and it's not as initially fun as Mutations was!
Still, I've never thought about how making shoes in their family rooms offers a way for Spanish women to transcend "the obligation to a rigid and stable division of time between the domestic sphere and the working environment".
I enjoy reading books like this to get a different (and usually, first) perspective on the World.
Last week brought to an end the industry summary PowerPoint presentations that we've each been delivering in my Marketing Communications class (BUS 227). Most students e-mail our professor their presentation file beforehand so that they can easily present using the classroom's digital projection screen. A wireless mouse at the speaker podium enables slide advance.
Twenty two American billion dollars in VHS and DVD's last year. Isn't that amazing? It's a slide from my presentation. Here's a fun fact from another student's PPT:
In 2001, Americans consumed more than 5,542,800,000 gallons of consumer beer. It's an industry dominated by three firms who supply over 80% of the nation's beer.
With his laptop hooked into both the projector and the ethernet, Professor Fly has been able to use technology in the best way I've seen yet here in Calloway. In-classroom technology has been used most often to play commercials on demand throughout the semester. During discussions, a student might mention a commercial that she saw recently. As she explains what she liked and didn't like about the ad, Fly hops onto www.AdCritic.com and queues the commercial for the rest of class to watch. Eight by six foot, full screen QuickTime video then plays (with surround sound) for our class of twenty. It's a dynamic classroom experience made better by technology, it's awesome, and it's one of the reasons I came to Wake Forest.
I forgot how much I love this website. Don't pass it out THAT MEANS YOU RICKY. satellite
In that moment . . . [I] began to see a bottle of Coca-Cola as more than a drink. . . . [I] began to see the familiar words, 'Let's have a Coke,' as . . . actually a subtle way of saying, 'Let's keep each other company for a little while.' And [I] knew they were being said all over the world as [I] sat there in Ireland. So that was the basic idea: to see Coke not as it was originally designed to be—a liquid refresher—but as a tiny bit of commonality between all peoples, a universally liked formula that would help to keep them company for a few minutes.

Ten points if you can guess who the WFU campus persona pictured above is. Hint: It's all in the package.
I just made my contribution with three photos for the Bangkok gallery.
To my knowledge, Roku has two things going for it right now: First, they've got a CEO with great history. Former head of the software company that birthed the precursor to Dreamweaver, then founder of ReplayTV? Solid gold future ahead. Second, they will be at CES in Las Vegas this January. Lucky me with be trekking with the Pops for year four (or is it five?) in a row. I'm looking forward checking out what's in stock with these guys.
Q. Why is it in anime and mangas when a boy acts like a pervert they are pictured with blood gushing from their nose? Is this derived from a legend of some sort?
A. In anime, a nosebleed means that a male character is sexually aroused. It's kind of funny if you think about it--he is so aroused that blood not only fills up his sex organs, it starts coming out his nose too.

"The traditional example of the license is my invitation to you to come to dinner at my house. If I invite you to dinner and the minute you walk over my threshold I sue you for trespassing, you go to the judge and you say 'Judge, I wasn't trespassing, I had a license to be there. He invited me to dinner.' That's license - the unilateral permission to be on, or use, or possess, or do something about property. "
Erin did a really good job keeping up the American Wedding Fan Site for me during the summer. Check out this great thread for insider details on director choices, which was always an insanely touchy subject whenever I asked about it:
I'll fill you in: He's being facetious.
why i looooove the South! an actual conversation i had today with my employer, who i landscape for once a week:Campus Hook Chris Bodenner
me: yeah, that guy Rubin [one of four workers spreading 100 bales of pine straw in her yard] seemed like a really nice guy.
her: oh i know, Rubin is a sweetheart. all those Mexicans are such good workers. though i can't say the same for the black workers. they're usually so lazy, and never seem like they want to do any work. I guess it was different in slave days, when they got whipped...

it's freezing outside again. I could hear the ice on the trees of the quad, cracking tonight!
maybe our pipes just lost?
4) Nick Gray is our friend. He is a functioning crazy person. Or at least we like to say he is. He's probably too functional to be crazy though.
per tvb per VIDBLOG 8: NOT FLESH
Nick Gray WFU: Can I do an interview with you for my blog about
the picture of you from
1989?
MaighTW: Uh sure
Nick Gray WFU: true or false, you used to be my boss when I worked
as an intranet intern at Siemens Energy & Automation during high school
MaighTW: Do I count as a boss if you didn't listen to me? Kidding. True.
Nick Gray WFU: okay, about this picture- are you in high school, and if so, what kind of music were you listening to that morning when you dressed yourself?
Nick Gray WFU: I think it's a hot picture, by the way.
MaighTW: Yes, I was in high school...and since it was 1989 I'm going to say probably The Cure, The Smiths, Dead Kennedys, Decendents, Social Distortion, Chili Peppers or something like that...
MaighTW: and thanks ;-)
Nick Gray WFU: do you still have the piercings?
MaighTW: trick question
MaighTW: Yes though I've only decorated them once in the past 10 years or so and that was for Halloween
Nick Gray WFU: this picture is amazing to me because when I was working, I heard mumblings and rumors that you used to be, you know, into harder things than Camel Reds. what would you say your favorite hobby was at the time of this picture?
MaighTW: I'd guess laughing and trying to shock people.
Nick Gray WFU: last question. who would win in a fight: you in high school, or me in high school?
MaighTW: OK when you worked for/with me you weighed about a buck-oh-five if that
MaighTW: clearly I would have pounded you
BuddyGopher tends to get a lot of IMs from people thinking that the bot can talk back (he can't - yet). At least once a day he'll get some sort of a chain-letter type instant message. You wouldn't believe that people actually send these.
