Just a few things

So, I guess I have a few things to say. I was recently shown this wonderful, but scary, video of the some new 3d modeling technology that will literally change the face of film, photography and criminal investigations. I'm pretty intrigued by this technology and probably won't get much of a chance to use it myself, but it's certainly going to push the boundaries of what we can believe from now on. I guess my second thing that has been on my mind today was the little old place of myspace. It seems like myspace is becoming more and more widely used, but it doesn't seem to really be enhancing its operations at all for the considerable amount of people that are using it. I know that it's free and people can use it to promote themselves, but that doesn't mean that people shouldn't get something more usable than what's provided. In this age of web design I don't think any site should be able to get away with what they do. Myspace should be challenged a...

Crystals

So, the other day at my work we came up with this crazy idea to put some 3d objects into crystal. There is a way of taking a 3d picture of yourself and have it put into a crystal using a laser. I went and did a little looking around and found this cool site where this person puts mathematical objects into crystal. SUPER COOL!! http://www.bathsheba.com/crystal/
I just saw this TEDtalks video on a new multi-touch interface that is going to change the world... It is the technology that is part of the new iPhone... I should also apologies for my incorrect statement that the iPhone was at CES...it was of course at MacWorld. more to come later....just go check it out.

Apple oh apple

So, today I was just surfing the good old net and spotted that Apple announced their new iPhone. I'm trying not to like that company too too much, but they deserve credit some times. http://www.apple.com/iphone/ It looks to be pretty damned sexy. I'm supper in love with the use of tilt sensors to re-angle the screen for the user. This is part of the whole Consumer Electronics Show (CES) that's on this week in Las Vegas. I'm excited to hear what else is up and about.

The slow blogger

The "job" of being a blogger. I suppose it's worth while to keep posting on here with the chance that someone looks at this semi regularly. I've been living the life of a 9 to 5-er. It's certainly no normal 9 to 5, but I could never live the normal bump and grind life. Part of my job over the past little while has been to look after various aspects of my bosses website for his book " Imagining the Tenth Dimension ". There have been all numbers of things I had to learn about while looking after this little project. I've been using all number of google tools to track parts of the sites success. I'm been in awe of google calendar, spreadsheet, notebook, analytics, adsense, books, sketchup, and earth. It's certainly had an impact on my life. People should really go check out all those wonderful google stuff. I've also become a Apple head as of late. I picked up a little macbook pro the other day and it has been a regular help and wor...

busy

So, my life has seemingly become one of meetings. Friends have made note of our habit to have meetings rather than hang out. It never used to be that way. We used to just sit around and talk about things that would be fun, but now we "plan" them. Connect is happening in a few days and we have great plans to do fun strange things there. I've lost my focus over that slightly. I'm no longer interested in doing highly complicated fun things. I rather just sit around in the sun and listen to good music. I'll be DJing alittle bit at connect this year as I have mentioned already. It looks to me that I will be playing 6:30pm on Saturday morning. Does that seem like a great time or what? I'm not sure if I'll be awake even at that time, but I guess that is what a good festival is for.....lack of sleep.

Connect

Part of the busy summer that's coming up I'll be getting the chance to go DJ at the Connect electronic music festival . I'm pretty excited about this considering I've been going there for the last 5 years and this year is the first chance for me to make noise instead of listening to it.
