: "...testing Feedster rss (through BlogThis IN Google Deskbar, whew!)"

My body, Your body, Everybody _netWork that body: "Technology Review: Human Body Network" tells strange stories of applied technology. Bluetooth and infrared begone, Japanese researchers have an operating network which instead of using radio waves, infrared light, or microwaves to transmit information uses the electric field that emanates from humans almost unbelieveable.

Brings to mind images of the hand-in hand I'd like to Teach the World to Sing Coke commercials from the 70's(?). Wonder what the loss is like? Can we make a transcontinental chain and maybe send some porn or spam?

More Amazing Applied Technology

Blipverts for people who never forget their glasses. The ultimate subliminal thread around your finger. A fascinating pdf or googled html read.

On a similar note, but different pair of glasses, I read an article about a (HP?) lab that had made some kinda bulky -but just kinda- glasses with a built-in cameraand microphone in the nose-bridge. With these on you would just walk around recording everything you see.

But the most interesting part of the article was an estimate of about 75 terabyte of storage which would be needed if you had them on your entire life. That's alot of storage but not unthinkable. What's almost unthinkable is that it would afford you a -possibly painful or embarassing but- perfect memory.

An odd thought, that. I'll post a link to the article if I remember ...

Hi there!

Why this Sky?

It struck me,

while loading the dishwasher this evening, that

one

of things that is

so

likeable

about Peter Gabriel is that he has

never

tried to be The Beatles. Nor, to my

knowledge

has Laurie Anderson

It's perfect weather for a late summer ambush as our Earth and Mars pass " closer together than at any time in almost 60,000 years"

Reality Socks

Sock Dream

3 socks begin: "sock dreams:: "

I'm folding laundry and it occurs to me that selling a package of 3 socks might be a good idea. Not three pair. Two left, one right, maybe opposite, maybe random but three single socks. It would be a nice way for the sock manufacturers to show they care. Hey, we know these little guys wander off and we don't know what to do about it either, but here's an extra. Match it up with a loner maybe or keep it safe until that inevitable day. Kind of like the shirt's extra buttons. Of course, it's a 50% increase but raise the price a little, let the 2 packs=3 pair deal be understated. It would make for good marketing.

BTW

Forgot to mention: 2 out 3 java.sun.com RSS examples agree, Userland feeds really do taste better. For example:

That must be kind of nice. Congrats Dave

Finally: If you're not content just using and want to start abusing RSS (and with 7 different specs, likewise I'm sure), you can get your fingers dirty at the RSS Utilities Tutorial. Yeah, I know JSP, but a ready-made tag library with parsing as well as clean access does put the simple into the syndication (proof --it's a 1-page tutorial!). Have Fun

Post-modern inbred blogging continues here on Outside the Loop with Sun's opening salvos: Get your Java RSS Feeds while they're hot. They can be so leading edge --what's next, embracing Linux? Oh, yeah....

Going to be kind of light again the next couple of days, planning a little island time.

Wow - this makes my zaurus look kind of clumsy and underfeatured

Google Toolbar Installed: "Now that you've installed the Google Toolbar, you've got " ....no more excuses not to update ;)

HI and welcome...maybe again...to my latest attempt at blogging. I'm being lured back by the hopefully not evil Google toolbar. I've tried it. I like it.

Will it make me a blogger? We shall see. The biggest drawback I can see is that I far prefer browsing in Opera. So I'm kind of pulling for a MetaWeblog/CrossBrowser win/win from the folks at Google. A stretch? Yeah, but I'm (probably) not the only one.
