The Hack Day winner: Blogging in Motion
A pretty useless and silly thing, but damn cool, a perfect hack. It is a hand bag with a cell phone attached to a pedometer which will take a photo every so many steps and then automatically upload to Flickr and their blog. A funny application of this would [...]

Yahoo! Hack Day
Yahoo! was nice enough to open up their campus to several hundred developers and threw a great party, lots of coding hacks and even the wunderkind musician Beck! Pretty amazing, just our own private concert with Beck. Check out the puppet video on Yahoo’s blog, hilarious!
Presentations are coming up in the next hour. Lots [...]
Import del.icio.us bookmarks to Yojimbo
I just started using Yojimbo, which is a information organizer application for Mac OS X. You can store bookmarks, notes, passwords, serial numbers, document, snippets, whatever bits of info you gather. It seems to be a pretty nice app, simple and easy to use. I wanted to import my del.icio.us bookmarks so I can give [...]
More Mozes, Google Problem Update and other Tidbits
As you may of seen previously with my Giants alert, Mozes has a mobile subscription service, kinda like RSS or a pushed mobile blog. So I’ve setup another mini-service, testing their developer API with their subscription. I call the new service Bigg Digg, which polls the digg rss feed and sends out top story headlines [...]
Parallels: Ubuntu on Macbook Pro
I haven’t done too much with Linux in a while, so had fallen behind on what the hot new hyped Linux distro is. I hadn’t even seen or played with ubuntu, I felt especially out of the loop after seeing a billboard on 101 about it.
Now all I have is a little Macbook Pro, no [...]
Windows XP on Mac OS X. what the!?
ok, so what the hell am I doing!? It wasn’t too long ago that I was just spouting off on never wanting to run Windows on my Macbook Pro, yet here I am doing just that. Plus I’m actually enjoying it, definitely because of the cool geek factor not any love for Windows.
I needed [...]
Sony U20. Ultra Tiny. Ultra Cool!
I’m finally embracing digital photography at least for snapshots and fun pics. My Blink camera didn’t work out on my Mac, so I bought the Sony DSC-U20. I love the camera!
It is an ultra compact 2.0 mega-pixel digital camera. It’s small, maybe about half the size of a pack of cigarettes and a [...]
Cutting Mats
I’ve been working on some non-pixelated things: thinking about, browsing and now finally cutting mats for some large prints I printed out, the three Locks on Doors series from my Peru photos.
This was primarily a test of my printers capabilities, how big can I go with my setup and from 35mm slides. I was [...]
Denver Airport
It took me 13 minutes and 20 seconds to walk from one end of Terminal B at the Denver International airport to the complete other side. At a normal walking pace and not using the moving walkways.
Using the moving walkways I was able to walk from one end to the other in 8 minutes and [...]
How I couldn’t get my Blink camera to work on Mac OS X
I just bought a SiPix Blink II, a tiny digital camera, about 2″x2″ in size. The Blink is more or less a toy digital camera, it takes 640×480 images and is less than $40. I’m dipping my toe into digital photography.
One problem, the camera is not recognized by iPhoto. So it does not work on [...]
