From Gizmodo I got this link to a cover of Gnarls Barkley’s Crazy by a guy with a theramin. It’s dope:
But the best part is the guy on the beat machine. He seems SO intense tapping out the beats.
Here’s the same (theramin, not beat) guy doing the Super Mario Theme:
I just gave Delicious Library 2.0 a shot and it’s a mixed bag. Importing via the iSight is nice and it sure is a pretty program, but I wish it was a little more database focused. I might give DVDpedia a shot, but I think DL2.0 is good enough.
I really miss the program I used back in my Winny days, DVD Profiler. It relied on user to input information into it’s database which was then used to fill out the information when you typed in the ISBN or UPC number or put the DVD in the drive and let the app recognize it automatically (though I always found it easier to just type in the number). For a tiny few titles, it was crazy, but for the most part it was spot on. Of course you’d run into issues with spelling every now and then, and the use or not of “Jr.” or other end of name things. What I loved most about the program though, was that it acted like a real database app. What I mean is I could sort the info however I wanted. I could click a movie and it would bring up all the info, including full cast lists. And for most/all of the actors I could click on the name and it would bring up what other movies the actor appeared in within my collection. Or director or etc etc etc. It was great. Admittedly it’s not the most useful/necessary feature, but it was something I loved. Sometimes I would go on a movie run where I tried to connect the next movie with the movie I just watched and it was very useful.
I loved this app so much, that I considered installing VPC and windows JUST for it in my PPC days and to this day think about running a virtual XP machine to use it. Though it might suck now, I used it many many years ago.
I used Rasterbator, but PosteRazor is a different look (source image) in creating multipage posters of images. Though I like the dot matrix Rasterbator style, I’ll make some of these straight image ones via PosteRazor.
McCain as the cause of HD penetration is a reason I’d like him. Though I’d just as likely have HD now without him. And due to SDV and TiVo I don’t get many of the HD channels.
But funny that HD might be downfall. And I could totally see it doing so.
Monty’s a spry 4 years old (and I mean spry, everyone thinks he’s still a puppy given his energy level, etc). And some crazy guy with barbeque sauce all over his chin (I so incredibly wish I had taken a picture), while petting Monty for an uncomfortably long time, at the Taste of Arlington 2008, said Monty would live an additional 23 years. Or maybe it was until he was 23. Either way that’s WAY longer than miniature schnauzers live on par. I’m not looking ahead to life sans Monty, but no way I’d get this (maybe, I am a sucker for such things):
That’s a digital pet urn. Available from pet-urns.com. Product description:
With a 7” diagonal screen you can display literally hundreds of your favorite pet and/or human memories. Each digital frame includes a battery operated remote control, a large 256 megabyte internal memory, power supply cord, and USB computer cord for transferring photo’s or audio files from your personal computer to the internal memory.
This urn has two compartments which you access from the removable bottom. The 1st compartment holds the digital frame while the 2nd has 95 cubic inches of space inside, accomodating pets from 0-75 lbs.
Maybe if they added video I’d consider it. But pics and audio only. Who has audio recordings of their dogs? Do they expect people to demux their video for audio and upload that?

It is a pretty nice media center software though. Still beta on Mac. But I’d reckon to say a little better than current iteration of AppleTV.

This is cool.
Not just feel, but love/hate/think/believe/feel/wish.
It searches for keywords in summize and loads them into the site. There’s even a screensaver available.

twistori is based on Jonathan Harris’s We Feel Fine, which is equally, as Michael Bay would say, awesome. Here’s Harris’s talk at TED:
I guess I might start flying Continental if they let me board using my iPhone. Of course my question is how much are they charging me to connect to their WiFi for 3 minutes to pull it up?
