Google again. Don’t say I’m bothering you and that I should start writing about something else, because you would miss things. A week or so ago another one of those surveys popped up. As well as over here (Holland) as over there (the US) they come and go several times each year, but this one was to betaken seriously, done by the Stanford School of Medicine. This time one out of eight grown up Americans exhibited at least one possible sign of problematic Internet use. No idea if I would be part of the digital junkyard, but if so, it’s… >> Lees verder . . . >>
Sweet Little Sixteen
Saturday night Oktober 21, 2006, @ Cafe De Beyerd in Breda, during the 32nd Belgian Beer Week: The Cyranose Live. Sound was a little bit to much for the poor Canon Ixus, but look and listen . . .
Bye bye house
No words . . .
Start (video) blogging, now!
Wanna see how two twenty somethings feel who just cashed a cool 700 million each? Check out this YouTube video. It shows the interview held on a San Francisco Street, minutes after YouTube, owned by Chad Hurley (29) and Steve Chen (28), is acquired by Google, that paid 1.65 billion in shares. No wonder the two video wonder boys are behaving like they’re leaving a Dutch coffee shop, where one can legally enjoy a big joint. They not only cashed, they also will receive a nice salary, because they start working for Google, while some small change – 300 mil… >> Lees verder . . . >>
More Google News
I’ve noted yesterday that Writely was definitely gone, merged with Spreadsheets into Google Documents & Spreadsheets, in which this post is written. Late yesterday night (CET) a new little linkie when I logged into Google Groups: ‘view in Google Beta’. Click and see how the GoogleGroups interface soon will be looking – maybe this switch is definitely too while I’m writing this – like the recently made over RSS reader. Wait folks, cause that’s not all there is today . . . Next star on the Google heaven: another little link this morning in Documents & Spreadsheets: Photo. It leads… >> Lees verder . . . >>
Docs & Spreadsheets: almost Google Office
It’s almost – just not yet – Google Office: when I logged into my Google Account ten minutes ago, and clicked my way into Writely, something new appeared: Google Documents. While some Redmond lackeys start collecting old chairs for Steve Ballmer and then duck for cover, Google has integrated Writely and Spreadsheets into – well- Google Docs & Spreadsheets. Earlier this morning I was working in the ‘old’ Writely, noticing nothing new, but now the green and yellow colors are gone, and the new application is dressed in the familiar Google light blue. Just wondering how long it will take… >> Lees verder . . . >>
Mail: so yesterday?
Be warned, those who just completed an e-mail course for seniors; better stop reading at the end of this sentence. Because email is tired, not wired, so outdated, has-been, redundant. Email is not cool, no more, Internet youth (is there youth somewhere that doesn’t use Internet?) use email for only thing: to communicate with old people. Youth rather use – apart from mobile phone text messaging – something form the broad spectrum of different ways of chat serving, like Windows Live Messenger, MSN, GoogleTalk, or one of the numerous chat servers on the Internet, or somewhere in some online community.… >> Lees verder . . . >>
Blue Oyster Spiral Fractal Zoom
No matter how deep you go, there’s always more. According to maker Dave Klimann this movie took quite a few days to calculate in 1993. ‘When i first made a poster of … all » the image i call ‘blue oyster spiral’, which is a zoom at about the 100 Billion X magnification level inside the Mandelbrot Fractal, it took 34 computers 3 days to render it. But today, the same poster can be rendered on one typical PC in just a few hours’.
