18 Minute Microsoft Surface Interview

I like the last link best cuz it has less hype. The UI for the phone stuff (@ 6 minutes) is very nice. Just goes to show that software will be central to the real advances now that we have multi-touch to play with =)

Other than the video puzzle (@ 16 minutes), which looks VERY cool but impractical, there is little that is innovative here. For example, I am not sure why M$ does not

So after another wonderful night of FreeForm (the monthly party thrown by The West Bank Duo of Jeff Ziskin and Iyad Kaddour), my friends Suha and Courtney and I ran through Ruby Skye to Hernan Cattaneo. It was the first time I have been into Ruby Skye and I lasted about 5 minutes. Definitely not my scene.

We then popped into Anú but that was slow so we cruised over to Mars for a glass of wine. Our talk turned to why such fine women as these two did not have boyfriends and I launched into my standard reply of “You must not want one.” I

YVOD builds websites for individuals, nonprofits and small businesses. Sure, we can toss anything up on the web and make it stick. But our real value is that we T-H-I-N-K about what we are doing. We actually care about your site and want you to have the best one possible.

One of our excellent clients is People’s Grocery. We love these guys. They are actively out there changing the world.

Their home page has recently fallen by the wayside and become stale. It is not very exciting. Brahm and I have been having a discussion about this and I figured I would copy it to my blog to help

A client was asking for an example of YVOD’s search engine optimization (SEO) skills. As we so often do, we point to our own website as the example. Less than a month ago YVOD released our 13 SEO Best Practices document.

1) We chose the subject carefully

We wanted to give clients some help on understanding a complex field which many are asking about.

2) We chose the title carefully

We wanted to make sure Google (ie: search engines) understood what we were talking about.

3) We blogged about it

We could have disseminated the info in a lot of different ways. Heck, we could have created a Flash movie like so many big corporations do. Instead we chose to blog because

Re: Remember Me - Lizzie Palmer

I am so proud that the USA has taught this 15 year old to think that our troops are white only. Makes sense from her world view (that white people are the only ones worth remembering), that she would create a video asking to remember those who kill but not those who are killed by them. This is the same ideology that leads to the statement “God bless America” instead of “God bless us all.”

We must find a way to resolve our differences without resorting to violence. Step one is to understand that we are all human… not just white Americans.

Seeing nonwhite men on the Sunday shows is as rare as seeing them on the floor of the U.S. Senate. According to a study to be released Monday by the liberal media organization Media Matters for America, which was obtained by The Chronicle, at least 77 percent of the 2,150 guests who appeared on the four major Sunday shows in 2005-06 were men; at least 82 percent were white.
