I’ve just made suggestion for a new feature for Flickr. What do you think?
Thomas Hawk gets a Mac
Photographer Thomas Hawk buys himself a Mac. And the first thing I was thinking was: Now we’ll have lots of advice on digital photography and working with photos on the Mac. I think Thomas is a very talented photographer and an excellent writer too. And I’m always looking for advice on how to store/organize/work with [...]
Wikipedia entries for GPS
Today I saw this: Geocoordinates from Wikipedia for Google Earth. It has coordinates for Google Earth for 52 175 English Wikipedia entries. So when you tarvel around in Google Earth, you get lots of clickable entries from Wikipedia. Very useful! Which reminded me of something I thought about this summer while driving around Norway with [...]
Connect RSS feeds to people

I have been writing about similar ideas for some time. In June 2005, “How about RSS feeds in the Address books?: Note [...]

Although the comparison is a bit unfair (DVD recorders are much cheaper, and also typically sold almost everywhere. Even my grocery store at the corner sell [...]
Training data format
You don’t need to read brilliantdays.com to find out that Apple and Nike launched a new line of products together – the Nike+iPod. As Kevin Lim writes on his site: “…was literally quite blown away.” This is the revolution I think this is the start of a revolution in the way people measure what their [...]
Delicious Library needs a huge update

I also wrote lots of feedback to Delicious Monster, telling them how to improve this cool app. Then my Powerbook chrashed.

Adopt a virtual pet
adopt your own virtual pet! Too bad it doesn’t DO anything. It would be nice if it was fed a fish everytime someone loaded the page (so if Boingboing adopted one, it would be really fat!). Or that it dived into the water and did stuff. Now it just stands there. Cute though!
Open streaming platform?
A very short summary: – Public broadcasters should use open standards – People in general agree on this – Microsoft Windows Media is not an open standard – The public broadcasters should choose something else – People question the knowledge of the broadcasters Is there an open streaming platform that can meet the demands of [...]
