Warston is my new blog.

Check it out.

Will the 8pen succeed?

Yes, if it is easy to learn. How does it work?

The screen is divided into four quadrants with an X. You begin at the center. Moving into each quadrant selects one of eight characters. A clockwise or counterclockwise movement cuts that character list in half. Then, one, two, three, or four “clicks” through each sector selects the first, second, third, or fourth character. In practice, each gesture amounts to a partial circle.

Is Qwiki the future of information consumption?

Qwiki at TechCrunch Disrupt from Qwiki on Vimeo.

The fundamental problem with Qwiki as an informatioin tool is that it is focused on a snazzy production, re-hashing and re-purposing tons of existing web content, to create an “experience” of the content rather than facilitating the most efficient comprehension and utilization of the content.

New Palm phones for Christmas holidays?

I believe this one is quite solid.

Amazon, Uranium, reviews: funny stuff

Did you know that you can buy Uranium Ore on Amazon?

MG Siegler made an inventory of the finest comments made for this product on Amazon. My favorite?

So glad I don’t have to buy this from Libyans in parking lots at the mall anymore.

Read Siegler’s article to see that you can also buy fresh, whole rabbits and wolf’s urine on Amazon.

Notify, an awesome Gmail notifier for Mac

2EF06D90-76C8-49D3-B963-67962219E8E1.jpg

This morning, I discovered a website, Vibealicious.

Vibealicious is a software and graphic design company, located in Ottawa, Canada and Orlando, Florida. We focus exclusively on the Mac OS X and iPhone platforms, and strive to create pixel perfect user interfaces, icons, websites, and applications.

Their first major application is called Notify and it totally owns the official Gmail notifier made by Google.

Notify is clean and useful. It looks like if Apple—themselves—made it. The best part? It’s free.

“Shared” category; what’s that?

Well, as you may know, I just got MarsEdit. It’s simply awesome, try it.

Well, MarsEdit has a great power, when it’s used with NetNewsWire. It’s a simple Re-blog button.

So, I’m going to be using it more often than I did before, because I already re-blogged some articles, on-the-go blogging is all about that.

Short answer, Shared category tells you that I’m not using original content, I’m using some other blogs content.

The Shared category is here to inform you that the article—I’ll be re-blogging—isn’t mine. I’ll also put a blockquote tag around it and then I’ll begin to comment it.

Some people comment on the original article’s blog, other re-blog and comment. That’s the way it works.

We want an active weather icon for the iPhone, please?

It’s a simple wish, Apple. It would be very nice if you update the weather icon—with firmware 3.2 or more.

What does active mean?

It means that it should change. Tell me about one place in the world where the temperature stays at 23° C? I’m kidding, of course, but Apple can change that, it’s better for us, so they should and I hope they will.

Siri, your personal, virtual mobile assistant

I guess you just have to watch the video.

Insane. Cool. Insane. Cool.

Conductive plate = end of the microwave

Look at this picture. Again. And again. Are you beginning to think of how cool this could be ? Cleaning the plates is the main problem. Electricity, water, not good marriage.
