beonscreen.com : "Do you think you've found the perfect mate but want to be absolutely sure they're the one for you?" - or more importantly, do you want the audience at home in the couch to find you a bit more about you and your loved one...?
"boys toys to cover all their needs", branded as innovative gift ideas, everything you didn't know you really, really wanted/needed/had to have right NOW... such as the A** and Face towel, no need to worry about using the "wrong" end of the towel second time around! Hurrah! .......strangely there are no reviews of the product as yet. :) Oh well, have a go at the "training" session fro j20 (direct to game)

snowing ideas
Browser Extension Manager - a nifty little tool for checking if there are any "unwanted" settings in your IE, good to run even if you haven't installed any add-ons, just in case...
another fun-idea is the RadioRecorder (or looks like it, can''t be bothered with c++ visual and compiling it), remember a mac toll last fall, for recording streaming. Nice if you want a song... is there any fundamental difference between something like this (pre-buffering in memory) and sitting with your finger on the record/pause button on your old tape deck? Isn't the number of streaming radio stations so large that you will always find something that you want? Just inside iTunes there are more than most users will listen to - ever!
On a sidenote, can't seem to get onto the seal site but this infosite is alive an kicking (the official site ends up at no. 12 for seal navy on google). Was looking for their take on the SOCOM game, since the URL is in the ad!
And just to finish off, on the subject of games - why not go behind the Headlines and BOLD statements, and read some "academic, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to computer game studies" [homepage]
...and the sun is hiding behind gray snowfilled clouds ...

open textbook
textbook: "openly
copyrighted (copylefted) textbooks" - a nice idea, information wants to be free, but how will this impact authors? At least in Norway a lot of the local books are written by the professors, partially as a way to supplement their salary, partially to adapt the material based on their actual experiences with students - how to present the difficult subjects, how to create suitable examples..... would probably be good as a basis - add local variations, excercizes and so on.

What Makes Some Startups Succeed?: "venture investing is a long, hard road" - isn't that the truth.
"In 93 percent of the cases, the strategy that a company emerges with (at exit) is completely different from the strategy it set out to implement" - now if THAT isn't a valid argument for Mintzbergs [lots of pdf, do google] "emergent strategy" concept, I don't know what is... you can plan, but then you have to adapt/evolve or you are just so many pages dusting down in a binder!

Give Food for Free
The Hunger Site : 5,2 million cups by clicks in 2003- not too bad, but there is still room for more
building Blocks -- small and large
lego animation still playing, chris salt was featured - a brilliant mix of star wars and monty python... nobody expects the joke... his site was apparently hit so hard by the coverage that he had to scale down quality and dl versions! And I can understand it - the link or the movie is hitting the mails later.
first one and now lexus using both traditional combustion and electrical power [with incentives - the future is all mixed up?]
hafnium 178 m2 - something radioactive? but what? and why???? "control rods of nuclear reactors" [1]
discovered by a Dane. nice one!
...and the sun is here for another 4 minutes today - 6h 26m of "daylight"...

Innovation on demand
Innovation Network - 9 by 4 matrix of pictures and somewhat related quotes... good fun i guess
other mentioned in the poynter story include a real old one at ron reason - held in 1998! way... and then there is the almost overwhelming selection at about now all you need is some time to explore it?
(digression: kudoz to hotmail for adding Delete at the bottom of their new design - which was otherwise rather pleasing)

Winter falling down
Been snowing for a couple of days now. After a rainy and bleak xmas, it is once again white and postcard-ish outside.
"They connected with me because I looked like them" - doesn't take much, does it? Is he an artist? Definetly. A poet? Probably, but not in the old classic sense. But a journalsit? Well, maybe a columnist... putting his opinions out there, pushing it to the limit and donning different hats (Slim, E, MM) to put a different spin on the big picture.
"till the fire inside dies and expires at thirty" - never trust anyone over thirty was the old hippie slogan in the sixties... are we still old at the big 3.0 ? Or do we refuse to grow up - even if we have to? With teens becoming parents, and 35 year olds working for half the year in order to backpack - how will the society keep it up?
But then there is the issue of online connectivity again, been a while since it has been a problem, but obviously it is back................. aaargh.... so much to check out today.... (yep, been burrowing through wired again)
regarding the music - just love the look of those Harman multimedia speakers, the jbl seee-through stuffffff.... maybe need to splurge on them? Or just connect this blackbox to the regular surround system - and get some proper "legs" for the speakers? Hmmm
then i could kick back with gorillaz and Kid Koala- the sketching dj... a real web "page".
Oh well, there is always fantasy - or scifi anyway, with Robota looking really cool
[note to self: when is the time right to watch the animatrix shorts downloaded.... or the rest of Broken Saints? maybe if or when (?) we get an Epson projector - Reallllly slow link, read something else while it builds the page...]

- and boom outside, another rocket went off. Nope, not a warzone, just leftovers from New Years Eve... when it started at eight in the evening and went total blanket coverage for 25 minutes - a we have a quite good view over a large expanse of the city burbs. Is it the best way to spend millions? Is it the bang or the beauty they want? And how much do you really see when you're (totaly sober yeah right) lighting it up? Ba-boom... probably just as good to wait a week (been three ++ every night since), at least then you see which one is yours and can enjoy it a bit.
