RasterWeb!

It was weird to read two posts from Russell Beattie that I was able to tie together and relate to myself…

Mobdex in 1984 talks about an idea he had, that others he showed it to later implemented and thought was teh cool, while AvantGo Goes RSS! talks about how AvantGo finally has some RSS action…

Here’s a bit I wrote in September of 2002 about rsshh:

…an abandonded project of mine, an RSS aggregator that produces an AvantGo channel for syncing with my Palm.

rsshh stood for “RSS Handheld” and basically it was some code that pulled in RSS feeds, and would then output simple HTML pages which I would then sync with my Palm III via AvantGo. I don’t claim to be the person who came up with the idea, or who implemented it first, or whatever, I’m just glad to help.

(Note: I was really confused when I went to Russell’s site, as I thought he switched to just publishing advertisements instead of weblog posts…)

I’m very tempted to go to Madison on Saturday to shoot zombies…

With my video camera, that is…

(See: Zombie flash mob to descend on Madison for more info…)

The big question is, should I dress up as a robot, a pirate, or a ninja?

This weekend we saw Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit at the Fox Bay Cinema Grill.

It was a great movie, I laughed and laughed and laughed… If you like Wallace & Gromit, you’ll love it. It’s got the two-levels of comedy thing going on, where kids can enjoy it, but there’s enough there for the adults as well.

I don’t think I liked the Fox Bay Cinema Grill as much as I liked te Rosebud, probably due to their not being any comfy couches, it was all sit-at-a-table style seating. My other complaint was that there were probably over 100 middle school aged kids there. I don’t know if it was a school thing or what. (It was a Saturday night 8:00 PM showing.) The early teens set made things just a bit loud an chaotic, but besides that, it was pretty nice…

I just mentioned the whole video iPod idea last week, right?

I mean, everyone is a talking about the video iPod, right?

There are nearly 1000 videoblogs listed in mefeedia’s directory…

The Yahoo! Videoblogging Group has over 1400 members…

We’ve got Ourmedia, blip.tv, and others… We’ve got vlogdir, vlogmap, and others…

So what does it all mean? Maybe nothing… Maybe something…. For all those people who keep asking me “What’s next?” I’d like to point out that this is probably it. (Time will tell!)

Oh yeah, one more thing… If you get a video iPod, please subscribe to tinkernet with iTunes, so the videoblog posts go to your iPod and you can watch it. I mean, since I can’t enjoy my own content on an iPod, someone else might as well… (That is, assuming it all works that way, same as with “audio” podcasts…)

Gah! Today is October 12th, 2005 and I just found out about the nomination, and the voting closes today…

Help me out, vote for tinkernet at mkeonline. This is a limited time offer. Expires today. Thank you, and Good Day Sir!
