Our resident Appiication Guru has decided to ditch the Flip Flop Friday rule and try these new Vibram FiveFingers.
His keyboard is under his desk now.
SERVICES:Microsoft has recently released images and videos of their upcoming e-book / table device, Courier. Based on the videos, the interface appears pen-based and has accurate hand-writing recognition, and comes with a built-in camera. Check out what the Microsoft Courier can do for you in this video which showcases Nike Sportswear, a client of ours.

TED2010 happened last week here at Long Beach. TED started out as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. The range of topics and speakers, which include Bill Gates and James Cameron, have become even broader, yet the community have managed to keep it’s two purposes: To seek a deeper understanding of the world, and hope to turn that understanding into a better future for us all.
One thing that caught my eye was the topic of using lasers to control mosquito populations.
These lasers have the ability to track and kill mosquitoes and were made with parts found on eBay. Current methods of eradicating malaria aren’t working well in Third World countries, and so Intellectual Ventures Laboratory have devised this solution. They are currently examining it’s cost effectiveness to deploy in places like Africa.
This solution seems to be working better than my current one:

SERVICES:Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I’d like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I’ll tell you about code camp with me and my peer
In eastern Fullerton, where it took place
In the classroom was where I spent most of my days
Chillin’ out maxin’ learnin’ all code
writin’ some AJAX thinkin’ I’m all cool
When a couple of errors
Who were up to no good
Startin making trouble in my neighborhood
I debugged one little byte and Paul got scared
He said “You betta run a test before launchin’ that software”
I ran it through a checker and when it came near
The compiler said fresh and but showed an alert in the error
If anything I can say this bug was rare
But I thought “Naw forget it. Let’s launch this software!”
We pulled up to my place about 7 or 8
And I yelled to Paul Ly “Yo homes code ya later!”
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Web Extraordinaire
