I love articles like this where they point out the underused features of whatever. It does point out the Mac’s speech recognition feature which I had heard about a long time ago but never got around to trying . Now I’m talking to my Mac all the time–it’s like the future.

Computerworld > IT skills shortage — fact or fiction?
June 28, 2006If you work in the IT industry (I hate that term now by the way), you know that what this article says is true–to sum up most companies don’t recognize talent or ability to learn new skills and concern themselves only with “on paper” skill sets. This is why I just spent two hours on [...]
The Size Of Our World
June 27, 2006Very neat–scale models of the planets and some local stars laid side by side on a table so you can see how miniscule the Earth is compared to our interstellar neighbors.

NBC10.com – Local News – On Tape: Rep Won’t Let Customer Quit AOL
June 22, 2006While it’s not news that AOL makes it painfully difficult for you to cancel an account, this is the first time that I know of that someone has captured the experience on tape.

Windows Vista Beta Rant: Media Center makes me dizzy – Lifehacker
June 21, 2006I don't have much experience with Media center either, although I do think it's a smart move that Microsoft dropped Media Center edition and added the functionality to Windows Vista ultimate. Just to play Devil's Advocate, while this media center does not seem as polished as Front Row, Front Row (or Media Central for the [...]
Slashdot | Data Theft and Corporate Irresponsibility?
June 20, 2006More stolen personal information. It seems like this is now an epidemic. What's sad is that this has probably been going on for years–it's only that companies are now compelled (for liability or legal reasons ) to tell you and the media has their eye on it. There should be a law–that your information still [...]
CNN.com – Cell phone cinematographers make feature debut – Jun 15, 2006
June 20, 2006Very neat and could possibly create a whole new sub genre of cinema veritae. These guys made an entire documentary with cell phone video. Although studies have shown that people actually want less features on cell phones, photo and sometimes video capability just come standard on even base models and likely will in the years [...]
CNN.com – Team adds iPods to coaching staff – Jun 16, 2006
June 20, 2006Cleaning out the "For Seanco" Google Bookmarks queue. Here is a very innovative use of the video iPod (other than watching re-runs of Knight Rider of course). Some baseball players are using video iPods to review past footage of themselves pitching or batting against the guy they're about to pitch or bat again before they [...]
