So a lot of us have lamented over the fact that video recording just doesn’t officially exist on the iPhone. Loren Feldman of 1938 Media got pissed mad about it (warning: harsh language), while developers at Polar Bear Farm (nice!) took matters into their own hands by producing ShowTime, a beautiful video recorder for jailbroken ...
As a die-hard del.icio.us user with 2,969 bookmarks today, it’s nice to see an old friend dressed for future. Gone is the minimal typographical-centric design, and in with the aggressive cubic shades of blue, black and grey. At first glance I was thrown off a little by the redesign, but thankfully their neat “morphing” video ...
Flickr has a 90 second video limit, so I cut my overview video short. Snowflake’s specs are in the photos.From Blue Microphones’ popular Snowball, comes this portable professional USB mic called Snowflake. It’s cute, well-constructed with aluminium and plastic, and works on Mac as well as Windows without drivers. Since I do plenty of Skype ...

Having had the honor of working with the multi-talented (and ever quirky) Magnus “Maestro” Martensson, here is his recent performance for International Women’s Day at the United Nations. His piece came in towards the end of this 2hr long webcast (requires RealPlayer). This video clip will eventually go onto his delightful blog at maestromartensson.comSimilar …

Made myself a cameraphone mount using a simple FlexClip…I’m not sure what to make of the Nokia E51 I received from WOM World Nokia three weeks ago, so I’ve been using it as much as I can (kiasu?). Being a heavy Internet user, I don’t care so much about talking on the cellphone as much ...
Out of a whim, I posted a question via LinkedIn’s Q&A area. Within minutes, I’ve gotten heartfelt responses, which I’m hoping to get permission to share excerpts of. For those of you who aren’t on LinkedIn (and why not? Find me), here’s the question which I believe is currently looming over our head…Hello,Most of you ...
Yesterday, Prof. Mark Deuze was invited to the UB Department of Media Studies (DMS) to discuss about his recent book, Media Work: Digital Media and Society (2007). His work runs parallel to the participatory culture theme we’re running for our graduate seminar. Here is Mark’s biography as taken from the Facebook event as listed by ...
Clever media art project. Makes sense especially in countries where copyright length go for an average of + 70 years after death of the creator. Least I now have a failsafe choice to share my work beyond Creative Commons. See the sticker sample, then print your own set. Aside: Was wondering for the economic grounds of having ...
Under Jinny’s invitation (as mentioned earlier), I made my way to Cheektowaga Central High School at 9am for the SLAWNY Spring Sharing event. Organized by the School Librarians’ Association of Western New York (SLAWNY), it was going to be a day workshops, talks and mingling among librarians from various local community and school libraries. Check ...
Here’s one of the conversations at Buffalo Tweetup #3, where Keith Burtis discussing how sponsorships work on video podcasts. Like Keith, I’ve also felt how the social media niche is still so fresh as an industry (like a low hanging fruit), that it’s easy to get into business doing it right now before the storm ...
“If I don’t make it out alive… delete my emails.” Glad I got it for $10 via Shirt.wootAside: Yup, this is a ridiculously short post. I’ve got lots to blog about, including interview videos and screencasts, but I’ve to prioritize as I’m trying to finish up my dissertation by the end of year. Life here ...
Via Clay Shirky’s twitter, I had discovered the most beautiful textcloud generator I’ve ever played with. Straight from Wordle’s mouth…Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different …
Via Ariel Waldman’s Twitter reference to Jeremy’s Pownce (yeah, it’s complicated), I got to watch this rather intriguing video.As I awed at this ridiculously cute cat jamming a theremin (he even has an audience), I couldn’t help but notice that the little red theremin was the smallest I’ve ever seen. If you look at the ...
Making sense of the Twitterverse can be a beast, until you have the right tools. Coming from Twitterific, I’m now hooked on twhirl, thanks to its awesome conversation filters. I can read messages categorized by timeline, replies, direct messages, and can even lookup profiles right in the Adobe AIR app quite easily. I’ve actually begun ...

While today’s newspapers were flying off the rack, the New York Times in particular commands US$600 on eBay right now. For all the obvious reasons, this is super-duper history in the making. I took a photo of it instead of keeping a copy. Here’s my favorite quote from CNN…At New York’s Port Authority bus terminal, ...
As cold as it seems, it’s always interesting to see a robot is coordinating humans in any given activity. Even more so when you consider the juxtaposition of Honda’s ASIMO conducting the Detroit Symphony Orchestra to perform “The Impossible Dream” (See song’s origin). While it’s more compelling to see this in the flesh, we have ...
