real-time weather use

So wii just released their Weather Channel integration and I just read THIS:

Look at the Weather Channel! Now switch your regoin to a snowy region or rainy region.

Now go play Madden & look at the weather…it WILL BE THE SAME AS WHAT THE WEATHER CHANNEL IS!!!

That is AWESOME! It reminds me of Metropolis Street Racer on Dreamcast, with the real-time location clock. (Or I guess of 24/7 mode on NBA 2k5 or 6.) (By the way, that feature on MSR was the best and probably the biggest “failing” of Project Gotham Racing on Xbox.)

Tivo on Comcast boxes. The testing has begun. This is exciting news. Hopefully it won’t take forever for it to roll out nationwide.

  • This is the first of many things you’ll see in my shared Google Reader links that I’m also going to blog about. A little redundant, and not like my comments are THAT insightful, witty, etc., but it’s my blog and maybe I feel like sharing. Or highlighting something that most might just let slip by in the cavalcade of links that will inevitable pass through my Google Reader link box.

Portable OS X Apps

get your portable apps here, for OS X that is. Apparently they aren’t free, donationware. I like the idea of portable apps, but I’ve never really used them. Granted it would help if I had a thumbdrive. For whatever reason I find carrying that around much easier than carrying a tiny cable to hook up my phone and its 1GB mem card (nevermind that I ALWAYS have my celly with me).

okay, still don’t know how to make links. I’m still an idiot.

tangy goodness

So I installed tangerine and it totally kicks! I’ve started to tell everyone about it. My friend just picked up running with his new Nike+ kit (we’re currently in a tight race using the Nike+ challenge!) and I told him about it and he is all about it. As am I. All my tangerine based playlists are named “Tangy X.” I’ve only made a few, and it’s dope that they have built in profiles for different kinds of playlists (BPM rising and falling, “hills,” etc.). Though if you want to talk about party/jam mix cds, according to Barney of “How I Met Your Mother,” it should be “always rising!”

Go get tangerine, from the potion factory!

dream come true?

Leave a reply

I’m at work so I can’t download and try this little app. But I’ve high hopes that it is what I’ve been looking for for so long. (“For for?” Can that be right?) These days I have so much new music that I set my nano to shuffle by album so I can listen to it all, but normally I shuffle all, which means I am skipping songs left and right. I hope this works as well as I want it to. Follow-up to follow once I install and try it out.

tangerine, the beat counting app!

nickname

who gives nicknames?

an nytimes article about nicknames. a few things: (1) i don’t think i’ve EVER met anyone (not that i travel in the most digital of circles) that has had a nicknamed based on their IM or email handle.
(2) i don’t care if ppl are starting to use their IM or email handle as their nicknames, giving yourself a nickname is just utter crap.
