Maxvoltar – Dreaming of an Apple Tablet

Maxvoltar – Dreaming of an Apple Tablet.
Nice idea, but Apple did it before with the Duo Dock (that’s not to say they won’t do it again).
On Demand Idea
Nov0
Idea:
Why has noone written a mash-up site combining all of the UK channels on-demand services via RSS or something?
Get a schedule feed of all the channels and match the shows to the relevant catch up service.
Say Hello Wave Goodbye
Oct0
Got my Wave invite today, courtesy of Dave. First impressions? Hmm, well it’s not revolutionary, I mean you can do stuff and edit stuff live which is pretty good. It’s a bit like a cross between Google Docs and an email client really. So for Google it’s not revolutionary but for anyone that hasn’t used collaborative online tools it will seem like it is.
Will it replace email, IM, etc? Not until it’s opened up a bit. Imagine you could only email other people using the same ISP, it’s like that at the moment – you can only contact people with Google accounts (and at the moment Google accounts enabled for Google Wave).
Still it’s a bit limited right now as I only know 2 other people on it and i’ve not been given any invites.

Did you know that the UK has an abort landing site for the Space Shuttle? RAF Fairford.
If the Shuttle ever had to land there it might be carted away like this:

Kottke's description:
In 1976, Claude Lelouch mounted a camera on the front of his Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 and drove through the streets of Paris — running red lights, jumping curbs and possibly reaching speeds upwards of 120 mph — before reaching his date near the Sacré Coeur. The result is the film C'était un rendez-vous, 8 uncut minutes of insane urban driving. - O2 Digital News Centre: Turning on Twitter Texts –

Getting my wordpress legs
Dec0
I’ve imported quite a few posts from my other blogs, but many seem to have been put in the wrong category or the links inside the posts arent behaving properly at all!
Grr, it’s going to take some editing!
