First impression is really good.
It took all of 5 minutes to go from box to functioning phone. Once the SIM card was in, the phone took about a minute to load.
Android seems very quick and has a very shallow learning curve.
My only complaint so far is my too-big thumbs on the little keyboard. But I’m sure I’ll get used to it.
I’ve been back and forth from EDGE to 3G, and was easily able to set up my wifi at home.
We’ll see how it goes, but so far, gg G1, gg.
Oh…. it’s happening!! The short of it is that this next video show a robot swarm that is powered wirelessly. That means exactly what it sounds like. No batteries… no power cords… they recieve their power from a transmitter… WIRELESSLY!!! The talk of this technology is not new, but don’t we have enough sci-fi movies to teach us what’s going to happen next?!?!?!?

As everyone (EVERYONE) knows by now, tech moves at an incredibly high pace. And there seems to be a lot of techies trying things out in the world of music (DS DJ, Touch Screens).
Well, althought this one still is a bit rough around the edges, it is easily the most HOLY CRAP tech demo I’ve seen recently.
…
just check out the vid!
Sorry for the slow updates, recently… working on this month’s playlist 😀
Here’s a little something a friend forwarded to me. The Rolly came out last year, and I had been keeping up with it prior to launch, but when the price was announced, I quickly lost interest. It’s almost pointless, but it’s a cool display of new tech. At the very least, it’s a cool conversation piece.
Interested in buying it? Sony Rolly
You remember the C64? Of course you do.
Either you had one, or someone you knew had one. I definitely had one. My dad loves to remind me how he knew I was going to have my love/hate/obsessive relationship with technology. When I was 6, my mother took my siblings and I to Colombia for the summer to visit our family. When we got back, apparently, the first thing I asked my dad was, “Did you get it?” “It” being a C64. Man… I was a geek from the start 🙂
Well, check it… good hardware is hard to kill. And although it’s not really a C64 anymore, that was what it started life as.
Modders are taking the C64 and turning them into MIDI synth boxes. (video after the jump)
So last weekend I re-did my media setup. TV… computer(s)… XBox.
Along with re-doing the setup, I also realized that the default method of sharing media from your PC to your XBox (and consequently watching it on your TV), using WMP 11, KILLS your CPU cycles even when you’re not actually using it!
So I asked some friends, and a few of them are using TVersity. It’s not specifically for the XBox, which is great, because there are A LOT of ways to share with this app.
The install took about 3 minutes (it installs a bunch of codecs to help play extra media file types), and as soon as I looked in my XBox… bam! there it was. Easy-peasy!!
Hope it helps… now excuse me while i watch movies listen to music and look at my photo album through my XBox and TV.
The thing about technology is that you’re cutting edge one day, but by the next someone’s made it cheaper and smaller.
Protein[DS] software for your Nintendo DS is available here.
Yeah… that’s right… your Nintendo DS is now a performance tool.
