RasterWeb!Below is the illustration for my “Web 2.0” Halloween costume idea…
Besides the rounded corners, tags, and Ajax, the whole damn thing is social, since you’re expected to interface with other people while wearing it, and you can crowdsource things like acquiring candy/drinks/food to the people around you.
Les liked my idea from 2 years ago, so I thought I’d toss this one out for the web nerds…
As usual, I’ve released this under the “Give me some candy!” license…
I finally got around to testing out Songbird…
First impressions? It’s cool. It’s usable. It’s still in development, but I love the concept. It even says “Now with video hack!” which you can see the results of in the image above, where I visited my videoblog at tinkernet.org.
Songbird (the application, and the idea behind it) is cool. I see potential for this thing. As Apple & iTunes seem to take away our rights with each new release, I see Songbird opening things up more and more with each release. When it comes to consuming media, that’s what I’m all about.
Emma was playing an online game, and she was telling me how much it would cost to furnish her house, and how much it cost for a couch, a rug, etc. and finally she say “Hey, I earned $1000 but I didn’t get the money!” to which I had to reply “What are you, a freelancer?”
Har har har…
My brother is funny…
I’ve seen at least a few IM status messages that say something like “Sorry, I ran out for a bit!” which I’m guessing is a default for some client out there, but I noticed my brother’s status message today:
Nice one… (And yes, he is a computer nerd…)
I’ve been using iChat lately, but I’m still not convinced I like it…
I was a long time user of Fire, until I switched to Adium, which I still really like, so why mess with iChat? Video…
Yup, I’ve been toying with video chat, and since Adium can’t do that, iChat is what I’ve been using, and it works great for video, but as an IM client, it is a bit lacking…
iChat doesn’t do Yahoo! or MSN Messenger (I don’t use MSN, but some people do) but it does do Jabber/XMPP and handles Bonjour connections, which is nice.
You can enhance iChat a bit with Chax, and I’ve also added growliChat as well. They help a bit, but for a Mac OS X client, I still like Adium, but the chances of Adium doing video any time soon are pretty damn slim.
