• 106miles

    Posted on February 9, 2005

    I went to the 106miles event last night. A big part of the Geek Krew were there: Niall (who took audio and should have that up on his site at some point), Eleanor, Russ Beattie, and Brendon Wilson. We’re starting to form a pretty consistent traveling discussion group. Michael Fagan... [Read More]

  • Plugins for Wireless Games

    Posted on February 9, 2005

    I’m just catching up on some posts I’ve had sitting around as drafts (there are a lot of them actually). I saw this article about Infected, a wireless game for Playstation Portable that has some viral dispersion features. That got me thinking about a whole bunch of different things, mostly...

  • Future of Art and Technology

    Posted on February 6, 2005

    On February 15th starting at 6pm is a Future Salon event titled Future of Art and Technology. I’m not really familiar with any of the efforts or organizations listed there, so I’m going to learn about the stuff. For a while I’ve been thinking about hooking together biofeedback systems with...

  • Eating Their Own Dogfood

    Posted on February 6, 2005

    I got an email from Russ the other day saying “Hey, why isn’t your phone accepting calls?” Sounded pretty weird, but not beyond belief, I normally have bad luck with billing systems. I have an account at Washington Mutual, and for a while they seemed to be rejecting autopayments for... [Read More]

  • USM Under Firefox/Linux

    Posted on February 3, 2005

    Randy seems to have some momentum going for his Universal Subscription Mechanism proposal. The basic idea is that we deal with some content types specific to RSS and Atom so that the browser can shove the handling off to an external app that then push the subscribe URL into something...

  • Symbian OS 9

    Posted on February 3, 2005

    The most major news item in mobility yesterday seems to be the new release of Symbian OS. The 9.0 version doesn’t really include many new features that affect the end user, as called out in a post at TheFeature. The USB mass storage feature will actually be pretty cool, but... [Read More]

  • 106miles Event Feb 8th

    Posted on February 2, 2005

    There’s a new networking group, called 106miles, operating in the Silicon Valley area. I missed the first meeting, but the second meeting is going to be February 8th at 7pm. Here’s an excerpt from their description: [Read More]

  • Feedster Facelift

    Posted on February 2, 2005

    The Feedster site has a new look, mostly implemented by Michael Fagan. I have a horrible eye for layout and saw too many pre-1996 designs to be able to distinguish between the better of two somewhat modern options. But even considering my unrefined judgment, the new look is obviously much... [Read More]

  • AttentionXML

    Posted on February 1, 2005

    Steve Gillmor was over at the EBig RSS and Blogging SIG, talking about attention.xml. The format was pretty free form, very participatory. He was pulling people out of the audience and asking them questions. The audio should be up on ITConversations. Here are some notes. [Read More]

  • CodeCon Schedule

    Posted on January 31, 2005

    The CodeCon schedule was released yesterday. CodeCon is a conference that runs Feb 11th thru 13th 2005 in San Francisco. I’m planning to go. There’s a list of topics also, if you just want to see what’s going to be talked about. What really caught my eye this time? The... [Read More]
