VIDEO - Touch interface in your bathroom? →
I caught this video on YouTube, CTitanic put it up today and it’s pretty incredible. It’s an interactive mirror that’s got all kinds of computer powered goodies to help you out in the morning. Traffic updates, weather forecasts, and even a view to check to see if the back of your hair is ok. The best thing about the display is that it’s touch based, but you don’t...
I’ve always been critical of the NFL’s decision to broadcast some games on the NFL Network, particularly because nobody that I know gets the NFL Network, even my die-hard football fan friends. I have to admit that I respect Roger Goodell’s decision to simulcast this weekend’s Patriots-Giants game on NBC and CBS, because not only will it allow people across the country to watch history being made,...

While studying, I found this particular bit of information pretty interesting.. “Leaders who are larger-than-life don’t necessarily act in the best interest of their organizations. These leaders often completely blur the boundary separating their personal interests from their organization’s interests. At its worst, the perils of this ego-driven charisma are leaders who allow...
Tumblr Search
from jacobd: Sometimes I’m sad that I can’t search people’s tumblrs. I’m sure this is a feature in the works, but today I was impatient and bored. These two things combined prompted me to script up a little javascript search using the tumblr API. As you can see on my tumblr site www.jacobd.com I have a little search box, as you type results will pop up! It’s not perfect, and only tested in...
Tumblr Tip: Use Google Reader To Search Your...
Ever have trouble finding a post you made some time ago? The simplest effective technique I’ve found so far for searching my tumblelog is to subscribe to it in Google Reader. Since I started using Feedburner for me feed after I’d been tumbling for a while, I instead added the direct feed (http://toldorknown.com/rss) to GR. I then created a label called “__search”, which shows up toward the top of...

TechCrunch covers "Top 2007 Education Apps" →
A blogger put together a list of the best education apps and TechCrunch covered it. Mike Arrington says, Tumblr is, inexplicably, named the top learning aid. It’s not inexplicable. Tumblr is an incredibly easy and powerful publishing tool. Arrington just doesn’t understand it. — jakoblodwick

Vote for Tumblr in The Crunchies
Marc LaFountain: If you love Tumblr do something about it! Vote for Tumblr as the Best Startup of 2007 in The Crunchies! Or use this more direct link to the vote page. (This is probably the only time you’ll ever see a TechCrunch link on my site, and I might change my mind later and delete it. I’m using rel=nofollow, at least. This feels dirty.) — marco

Apple Job Opportunity: Multi-touch for the Mac →
This link is circulating the internet. It will only get everyone all hot and bothered about Multi-touch for the Mac, which is bad because it’s not coming out anytime soon. Multi-touch for the Mac is going to take a while. The current keyboard and mouse interface won’t be replaced in 2008, or 2009, or, likely, 2010. — camh

Rest is important for productivity. Trying to work straight without recovering your energies leads to a wandering attention, procrastination and, in extreme cases, death. But when does “recovering your energies” just become an excuse to waste time? How do you draw the line between constructive rest and laziness? — bnelson

re: apple-ultra-portable-macbook-rumor-roundup
Consider a regular Macbook, now strip away the keyboard and you’ve got a single tablet like display. Now imagine that’s screen is a touchscreen and you have an screen iPhone-style keyboard. That’s what some of the rumor sites are reporting that Apple is working on. Factory Joe’s adove concept runs OS X, the version found in the iPhone, but what if this device were to run...
