If you have been a long time regular of my blog you know that my favorite movie of all time is National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. My number one rule is I can't watch it til December 1st. I love the movie so much that I watch it at least 15 times throughout December. This way I save my relationship with my girlfriend, otherwise I would watch it more. I wore out my VHS tape of it and the best thing that could ever happen was Jen (my girlfriend) bought me the DVD. (god bless her) Hope you enjoy the clip. It also contains my favorite Christmas song as well from Ray Charles. Whats your favorite movie during Christmas time?
I've posted Ben Hecks creations many, many times and the man is just amazing. Yea, he's the guy that created the Xbox 360 and PS3 laptops among tons of other awesome gadgets. Thanks to The Engadget Show we learn a little more about the man.
David Levy thinks so. He is the author of Love and Sex With Robots and he's all for it. I'm not too sure about that, hmmm, well.......hmmmm....maybe not.
And yes, it does travel in time...or at least to another part of the Crysis world. Mr geek, I salute you!
Using projectors of course....the folks at Urban Screen took an old building and had some crazy fun by turning it into an interactive pinball machine. Be sure to check out some of the other crazy things they've done.
Forgive me all for sharing this,,,,,,,,,,,,
I must say that I have mixed thoughts about "Cloud Computing". What are your thoughts on this? Is this gonna grow in popularity or is it just another fad? I kind of like having my personal files with me and not in the Net World. How much information about me will I allow Google to know about me? I'm also not sure about the fact that they will only release this for Netbooks. Why not my desktop? Recent reviews on Netbooks clearly show that they have a short life span and tend to fail over time. (I just read a great article about netbooks that I will share as soon as I find the link again...sorry)
It's nice to match a face with the voices...
First, we're happy to announce that the team has identified and fixed the issue with the YouTube conduit; you can now find and add videos from YouTube to your library and posts. As always, thanks for your patience!
The other news we have today is about a new addition to the Six Apart family: TypePad Micro, a new free level of TypePad that is streamlined for microblogging. We see a new form of blogging emerging that lives between the quick status updates of Twitter and Facebook and the long-form posts of "classic" blogging; TypePad Micro is designed to meet that need. You can read more about TypePad Micro in Chris Alden's post on the Everything TypePad blog.
A lot of the new capabilities we've added to TypePad this year were actually inspired by some of the best things about Vox: favoriting, member profiles, a dashboard to follow other bloggers, and easy ways to post content from other social media sites. But the things that make Vox different from TypePad are still there: Vox has always been -- and still is -- the best place for "friends and family" blogging, where you're in control over who sees what. TypePad, on the other hand, is built for the blogger who wants, no, craves, attention.
Do you have a passion or interest you want to share with people beyond your Vox neighborhood? If so, we'd love it if you tried out TypePad Micro. Maybe you've always wanted to start that obsessive blog that's just about waffle restaurants. Or want a place to share videos of your favorite band (Jonas Brothers, anyone? Anyone? ...). TypePad Micro's great for those topic-specific blogs. Take it for a spin and let us know what you think.
On the Vox front, our designers are working on some cool new themes (coming soon!). We'd also love to hear your thoughts about where we should take Vox in the coming year. What are the key things you'd like to see for Vox? If you've had a chance to use TypePad this year, what are the features there that we should bring over to Vox? And, if you're thinking big thoughts, how could we connect the Vox and TypePad communities in order to bring together bloggers and their shared passions? Your feedback is really important to us, so please leave a comment here, or shoot me a message.
And again, thanks for your patience as we found and fixed the YouTube bug!
