Yes, I know I said I was going to wait until late summer before buying one of these things, but these insidiously cool videos Apple posted on their site drove me over the edge. I just had to have it, and have it right now! Although “right now” is defined as not shipping until April 12, [...] Yes, it’s true. Apple’s latest and greatest is now shipping. The Twitterverse is all abuzz with anticipation. They’re set to arrive on Saturday, but if UPS manages to deliver any early, I’m sure the news will be all over the Internet within hours, if not minutes. It seems the demand for these is strong enough that [...] Here’s what I did this weekend: Friday – I took the boys to see How To Train Your Dragon. I was pleasantly surprised by the movie. The story wasn’t full of quippy one-liners, but it was still funny. It followed the standard kids’ flick plot — a kid who “doesn’t fit in” (in this case a [...] Courtesy of Wired, an article on Eye-Tracking Tablets and the Promise of Text 2.0. Eye-tracking software may reshape how we read. I have no idea how far off a commercial implementation of this technology is, but it sounds like it has some unique potential. The following passage is what jumped out at me: Their technology is capable of [...] Below are some high speed clips of explosions where you can see the shock wave expanding from the blast center. Pretty cool stuff to watch, if you ask me (and you didn’t, but I’m going to give you my opinion anyway!). The label says “Slow Motion Explosion Sonic Booms,” but that’s not really right, since a [...] Yes, I know this has gone on longer than I expected. Three deaths, three parts, right? But there is an interesting coda to the revelation from my late Aunt Nancy that my grandfather was murdered and did not, in fact, commit suicide. Part one is here. Part two is here. Part three is here. After my aunt’s confession to [...] Before reading this third segment of my little family drama, I suggest you read parts one and two. Part two ended with me learning that my paternal grandfather had not died of cancer after all, as my mom had told me when I was a kid (though my sister reminded me in the comments that she [...] To read part one, go here or just scroll down the page a little bit. So at some point when I was a kid my mom told me that my paternal grandfather died of cancer sometime in the late 1940s. That’s the only time I can remember discussing this, and I don’t recall giving it any [...] I’m really, really excited about the iPad (and no, for monetary reasons I haven’t yet pulled the trigger on one, but I really freaking want to!). Check out the following video showing how interactive content is being made specifically for the iPad. Will everyone do this, or to such an extent? Of course not. In fact, [...] Odd title for a post, isn’t it? Yet it is absolutely accurate. My paternal grandfather died long before I was born (sometime in the late ’40s, I believe, though I don’t know the exact year and no one still living remembers it — more on this aggravating situation will be revealed in part 2). There [...] |
