Verizon's SongID is a pretty sweet concept.
Ever hear a song on the radio or in a store that you like but don't know the title? Verizon's V CAST SongID can listen to it and tell you what it is. Aside from visual voicemail and convergence (ala iPhone) this is a pretty innovative way to use your phone. I hope we see more ways in which our devices can help us interact with the real world, instead of keeping us apart from it.

Solar cell breakthrough
New solar cells developed by Massey University don't need direct sunlight to operate and use a patented range of dyes that can be impregnated in roofs, window glass and eventually even clothing to produce power.

I put my datacenter in a box for you
Project Black Box from sun is promising to deliver 146 teraflops, hold 2 petrabytes of storage, 7 terabytes of memory, and be globally available nearly instantaneously, in a shipping container. I love the scenarios page with photos of how these could be used.

Live action Transformers movie trailer.
It is a bit heavy on the live action and a light on the actual transforming but I am assuming that is because they are still working on many of the effects scenes.

Flash Earth is pretty amazing
I really like the Ask.com aerial images at close proximity. I think they have some of the newest satellite images. Even though they look to be simply extrapolating in the closest views.

Remember Ring gets warmer as you get closer to your anniversary.
This concept product that may soon be sold works like this: 24 hours before the date you set the interior surface of the ring will warm to 120º F for approximately 10 seconds, and continue to warm up every hour, on the hour, all day.
I love this quote:
I got two of 'em." says Jon Harshmen, "Well, I got one actually-my wife got me the other one." Holding up his hands to show both rings he says, "Anniversary and Birthday, baby. It's like a hand gun. Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it."

Get weather in your Google calendar
This morning I thought how great it would be if weather could be incorporated into my Google Calendar so I wouldn't have to go elsewhere for that info. A brief Google search turned up that The Weather Underground already has weather in iCal format and that Google has already added it to its public calendar offering. Just search the public calendars for "weather and your city or zip code" and you can add it as a calendar. Now all it needs is nice little icons.

High Dynamic Range (H.D.R.) photography getting some press in the Times
I have been meaning to try some of this, but I was waiting to get Photoshop CS2. Seeing as how, I now have that little piece of bloatware, I am sure some H.D.R experimentation will follow shortly.

I love illustrations like this...
This drawing of what a biosphere/space station could look like is cool, though I wish it were larger.

"I just the other day got, an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday." - your senator
Here's the full audio of his statements to Congress.
Senator Stevens (R-Alaska) might need this to explain the internets to him.
One thing that, perhaps, is getting overlooked in all this, is brought into focus in Steven's words: "It's there for the consumer." The internet is not "there for the consumer" it is there for everyone - or at least it should be. It doesn't need to function as another way to buy shit for it to have value. It's value is in the way in can quickly and easily share information across communities, borders, and cultures; in how it can bring our world together and keep people informed and educated.

Decent recap of the state of "Web 2.0"
The only real flaw in this article is calling MySpace a Web 2.0 endeavor. MySpace is extremely popular but not really what web 2.0 is all about.

Welcome to the club, Iran
F-ing great. I am glad I am at the upper end of the "draft age" - oh yeah and I am neither poor nor black. Whew!

Sure fire investment strategy
Mark my words: if you can get your hands on mass quantities of this toy before Christmas you will be able to make a pretty penny. I would bet that for each Pleo you buy at $200 you will be able to make at minimum 100% profit.

Animated gif *technology* used on famous bigfoot video
I am sure this isn't the first time some technique like this was used to review this video, at least I hope not - it is so simple, it's genius.
