buzz at eleven

My take on Buzz so far? *yawn*

But we'll see. In the meantime, if Google hasn't turned you on yet, you missed the announcement or haven't yet grown tired of the knee-jerky blog posts alternately slamming it as lame or presenting it as a social media game changer, this here is Google's official demo clip that shows how the thang works.

the ipad is magical?

I'd love to tell you how this thing will work but [leans in close for full effect]... it's magical. I suppose this is what passes for good copywriting these days?

you had me at 'personal robots'

Killer highlight reel of 1983's most awe-inspiring new gadgets: from portable cassette decks and palm-sized TVs to betamax recorders and (wait for it) personal robots "literally with minds of their own." Where do I get in line for one of those?

Bonus points for perms and special effects.

you too can present like steve jobs

A fantastic presentation about how to give a fantastic presentation. Loaded with good, practical easy-to-follow advice for anyone who finds themselves standing in front of a room of people. You don't need to be a business icon or work for one of the world's coolest tech companies to rock a room - of course, it doesn't hurt if you are either...

the many species of geek

I see myself falling into a few of these - thankfully NOT 'dewey decimal system' though.

Clearly the answer is, "no."

today i typed on google

I'm almost three years out of date on this one but today I happened across a now-defunct blog called 'Today I Typed on Google' and think it's dorky-cool. Basically, back in 2007 two bloggers published images of the top Google search result for a bunch of random things. The site provided an interesting window into how easily information on just about any subject -- from the sublime to the ridiculous -- can be had with just a few keystrokes. I also love that the authors gave Google a gender: it's a boy... :-)

It was a great concept. Somebody with a little extra time on his hands should be doing this today.
