Phillips, at a recent prototype event in London called Simplicity, showcased the Drag and Draw; a tool designed for children for “painting” on walls using a “magic” brush, eraser, wand and laser projection bucket.
The laser bucket, follows the outline made by the specially designed pen; resulting in creativity without the mess, letting your child’s inner Picasso bloom

Screw the child, I want this bad boy!

As a long-time fan of Internet Explorer (the only browser I’ve used since NCSA Mosaic!), I’d been looking forward to IE7. I’ve always figured that being made by Microsoft (let’s just ignore the political views of the company for a second), IE should integrate better into the Windows OS and have wider support (with all the Microsoft IIS web servers out there).

When IE7 came out ~2 months ago, I discovered that it broke a few sites I was developing (wandering.net being one of them). I spent a few hours “working around” the problem (couldn’t “fix” it because IE wasn’t handling the XHTML code properly). That forced me to install Firefox, in order to check that my IE fixes were working properly in Firefox.

As I used Firefox more and more, I quickly recognized that it was superior to IE (and even IE7) in many usability functions. Some people say Firefox is faster (I can’t tell the difference on my broadband connection), but the small nuances really stand out. One of my particular favorite, is when you start typing a URL into the address bar. IE will list the matching sites in alphabetical order, but Firefox will list the matching sites based on how often you access them. So in Firefox, when I start typing “google.com”, it will list “google.com/analytics” followed by “google.com/adsense” (because I go to “analytics” more often than I go to “adsense”).

One more (belated) convert to Firefox!

Because of all this, I have been paying more attention to “visitor browser information” on my site statistics (e.g. Google Analytics & awstats). I was pretty amazed at on most of my sites, Firefox commanded >40% of the visitors (and on some sites, ranked as high as 80%).

To followup the NerdCore post, here’s another geek video I found on TubeBattle.

Here’s a parody of Apple showing off it’s iRack product!

You’ll either be ROFLMAO or asking WTF?!

I can’t remember seeing a funnier video… David Armand, impressionist, does Natalie Imbruglia’s Torn!

Being a tech-geek and having lived 10 years of my life in Silicon Valley, I also have to give a shout-out to this cool video … How to get a guy in Silicon Valley!
