Have you seen this amazing new program, Google Earth? http://earth.google.com/ It uses satellite photos and the power of a Google search to take you anywhere on the globe. Just enter an address, city, zip code, favorite restaurant, etc., and this tool will zoom in from space to the exact location. It’s amazing! I went through [...]
I was late to the iTunes Music Store Party. For the longest time, every time I’d hear something I’d want, iTMS wouldn’t have it, Borders wouldn’t have it, Best Buy wouldn’t have it–but I could usually snag a copy in a matter of minutes online. Yea, not the most ethical method, but certainly the most [...]
For those of you unable to make to MIMA’s Web 2.0 Salon on the 18th, I’ve made the recording available as part of the First Crack podcast. Thanks to MIMA, Jim Cuene, all of you that provided on-mic comments and the more than 100 attendees for a great event.
I’ve been thinking about the inconsistent audio and production quality of podcasts and I don’t think it matters. Now, admittedly I’m no audiophile, my podcasts prove it. My point is, if we as people were finicky about production quality, whole sections of media wouldn’t exist; books, text-based video games, instant messaging, and in fact, mobile [...]
Sirius Radio wants Apple to incorporate a satellite radio receiver into the iPod. A great idea and something a lot of people, including me, would probably like: an iPod that not only plays my MP3′s but lets me listen to satellite radio? And, maybe, record it? One box, two great solutions. But it looks like [...]

Welcome to 2005, the beginning of individual media control (production, distribution, and reception control). After soaking in the 2005 technology zeitgeist for the past couple weeks, I’d like to present my top 5 predictions for how our work and media lives with change this year. Good Bye Desk, Hello Starbucks You already have a mobile [...]
My wife got me an xmas present I had always wanted this year. A Kloss/Tivoli model 1 radio: It’s wonderful design. Simplicity in its form…well made…sensual…and it sounds good, too! But it left me in a predicament… I’ve always wanted one of these radios. It’s one of those products you buy and never need to [...]

Scott McMullan has been thinking about events, self-discovering systems, semantic tagging, and the future of date-based web content. Riffing on Flickr, Del.icio.us, and a couple others, he sees, ultimately, meta-tagged events flowing from web publishers through various tools, right down to your calendar app of choice. Cool stuff. I tag my web links with Del.icio.us, [...]
