Zeitgeist, The Movie

Zeitgeist: Addendum - 1:23:00 - “In fact, between maglev technology, advanced battery storage, and geothermal energy, there would be no reason to ever burn fossil fuels again. And we can do this now, if we were not held back by the paralyzing profit structure.”

This is one of the most important projects I have come across in the last few years. At first I kinda just thought; “Yeah, another conspiracy theory with some cool graphics and a bit of research to help sell it. Nice!” After watching the original movie twice and observing how links to it started popping up in diverse places, I thought about how great it would be if

My world has changed. Now I hope to change the world.

Good luck Barack =)

Poblano

I love this blog. Really good analysis and I think Poblano are right on. So far, I agree with almost everything posted.

Yesterday I had the blues
Not the rain outside on the sidewalk blues
Not the Daddy won’t make French Toast blues
And not the deep down in your shoes blues

Yeah…

Yesterday I had the blues…

Max belted this out just now while I was making him lunch. Where do 5 year-olds get their inspiration? I do not know, but I sure am loving life with mine =)

Oh I can not wait for my iPhone!!

Ride Finder by Google Labs

Want a cab? Click this Ride Finder link in Safari on the iPhone and walk to the nearest cluster of cabs and hop right in. Updating in real-time! You can even see if a cab is driving towards you.

Mind blowing!!!

All done with nothing more than data, access to the internet and a web browser…

Think of all the applications that will be written to utilize this type of technology solution =)

iPod: the Post-PC Device

I have been thinking this since the iPhone was announced. Why dumb-down the iPod? Why not make all future “video” iPods just iPhones without the phone? As people write more AJAX widgets for the iPhone… they will all work on your iPod since the iPod will be running Safari and (this is a stretch) a complete version OSX!

Imagine what we could do if we had mini-computers all running OSX in our shirt pockets? On-screen multi-touch keyboards and, if we are REAL lucky, WiFi connection anywhere it is available.

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

Wikipedia is many things. This link to Journalism Ethics is great.

“Yesterday’s decision marks a radical departure from previous Supreme Court abortion decisions that required law-makers to legislate based on facts not politics.”

Why do those in power believe they can make choices for others but want to ensure that all options are available for themselves? Why are men so quick to control the actions of women but do not want women to control the actions of men?

When a women gets pregnant she should be able to choose what to do with her pregnancy. This seems self-evident to me. After all… it is her body we are talking about. It has never been clear to me where people think they get the authority to regulate this? If we are all sentient, why
