Amazon launched its attempt to bring books to the digital realm with Kindle, a new eBook reader, this week.
Heralding Kindle as its Apple iPod, Amazon forgot the timeless lessons from the digital music revolution: proprietary, restricted formats with a single vendor lock in are A Bad Thing. The forgetfulness is rather ironic because the Amazon […]
Wired is one of the best publications ever. NextFest was like walking into an issue of Wired dedicated to geek art.
I love physical interactive art. It’s something that I want to get more into as a creator as opposed to just an admirer. Seeing some of the awesome installations today, I’m so inspired to start.

Macworld: Apple rethinks its DVD stance
Summarized, Macworld believes Apple has ignored major iDVD and DVD Studio Pro in their respective suite upgrades because the company is embracing online distribution. Macworld missed the larger analysis.

Apparently the airport’s over priced Wi-Fi service could deter terrorists from getting online in ways free Wi-Fi could not. MassPort had planned to evict the entire City of Boston for launching its free city-wide […]
So I’m watching Jay Leno in high definition, as I do*, and I started observing which TV commercials were broadcast in standard definition during HD shows. Many TV stations are in a two-decade long transition to digital and high definition broadcasts, so they switch between standard definition, 720 and 1080 HD content constantly.
