verbal be mine
Hey flooz kittens whats happening? I've just returned from a three day ottawa bonanza research trip. It was good.
I'm sitting here compiling some fresh tracks for my gym workout experience and listening to Verbal here from Amon Tobin.. and ya know the other day I caught the video for this track and was throughly depressed. Great song but the video was just totally crap. I can't believe a poorly visualized car race was the "gist" visualization for this song. Sad sad!
Soooo anyways.. what is happening. Much goodness, work is getting crazy with new projects coming up. Folks on staff are getting pumped on new research ideas coming into the fray here. I hope to use flickr for a project coming up. Finding faster and better ways to grab the freshest experience possible. Some cool stuff afoot!
Next week its off to Madison & Chicago for more user testing on this programming software platform. So far so good, great user feedback and some serious issues to resolve. I love that. I love real data where there are clearly things to address.
I've learned alot about "command liners" folks who live and die and thrive by a command line. I didn't think too many really existed out there honestly but in the linux world.. geeeze they love the command line. Then I got to know the "gui kids" the guys that are all about gui's they love their gui's yet respect the unix badge of honor folks. In the middle are the toolmakers bouncing from commandlines and gui's to get the job done. Making patches, orchestrating elobrate tricks in layers of code.
Yes all very interesting for about 6 hrs and then i need a drink. LOL. Yesterday was a long, long day. But what else is happening...
Hmmmm amazon arrives soon! New books, new tunes! Can't wait. I need my No Roots cd.
I haven't worked out in three days and my body is telling me GO TO THE GYM NOW! heh....
So turning the flooz lens into the blogsphere what do we find... ooo Jackito, the first tactile digital assistant. Thats pretty groovy. Watch the video.
Wanna pizza?
I really need to attend one of these conferences.. heck a conference would be good for me.
More aspects of my lamp fetish. PlasticBag article from Many to Many, a nice read on music socializing via de web. A few other tasty bites.
Ooooo more tasty bites in the social computing matrix, list of firms with social labs.
More juicey location based game research. Navigate the Streets... this is hilarious.. what a great idea.
Hmmm ohio is one step closer to the matrix.
