Hey other Novo Collegians, check out what Bob Cronin's up to now! I nearly swallowed my tongue when the first face came into the video and I realized what the BC in "dj BC" referred to... -

This is a useful (if not quite perfect) way to analyze different media. I've been surprised in discussions with other parents the extent to which all forms of screen-based entertainment are considered in the same light. In particular on the passivity front, I think this is a big mistake. While there may be plenty of critique-worthy aspects of the Internet, it certainly does not warrant a facile comparison to television. Underlying a lot of the differences in this chart, IMO, is the distinction between a single-purpose product-ized media delivery channel like television and a general-purpose platform like a computer or a network. A trap is set for the simplistic analysis by the latter's ability to functionally emulate the former (that is, your computer can act like a TV if you want it to), but the platform's set of potential use is infinitely broader.

This is really interesting -- sort of like google labs' "mail goggles" feature (which attempts to filter mail written while drunk/angry). There's no reason this should be limited to daytraders in terms of potential applicability. Biofeedback targeted at everyday decision making is real proof that we are, in fact, already cyborgs. Which we are. -

I'm speechless. This is the sort of crap you'd expect from a sleezy event promotor or a startup too small/busy/distracted to control a locker room culture (not to either excuse that or paint all startups with that brush). From Yahoo, though? WTF, folks -- you should know much, much better. -

"content resolution library" - finds music from any available source (local, nw share, streaming services, etc.) based on input metadata

Interesting. I've wondered similar things about other less-discrete arts (by which I mean those domains in which derivation is less objectively discernible than it is in e.g. text or digital media), like cooking.

Wow .. I dare you to look away once you've started watching this. Newspapers, take note: here's another industry the Internet has killed.

OK - Franken and Feingold have given us the start of South Canada's leadership bloc, should such drastic action prove necessary. Dakotas, Michigan, Illinois (with reservation) ... you're either with us or against us.

Un-buh-leevable. Almost makes me want to grab Ben and a few small video cameras and head off for Heathrow -- could be documentary gold. :)
