Microsoft may have killed its double screen tablet before it even got off the ground, but some enterprising folks have brought the concept to the iPad.  This is pretty interesting. It reminds me a lot of the concept of smart object/plug-in architecture that they were going to do in the original MacOS 8 (copland) but the project was eventually a failure.

This is a pretty interesting comic book (based on real events).  This is so nicely done that others need to pay attention to it!  It really showcases what you can do when you really utilize the medium you have to work with and break out of existing constraints (that are not necessarily your current medium's constraint) CIA : Operation Ajax for the iPad from Cognito Comics on Vimeo.

This is pretty interesting! Need to play with this :-)

Yesterday I decided to play a bit of Fable III so I can move the story along. I had gotten to the revolution part where I depose my evil older brother Logan...but I guess the joke was on me since Theresa (the spirit that came to my character and said I'd be a hero) had also advised him that the great darkness is coming to Albion. He could have been a benevolent rules but had a greater chance of being

I can't wait for this weekend, Mission Impossible in IMAX goodness!  OK. It is quite possible that this film may suck big time but I am a big fan of the series.  I used to watch the television version with Theo Penglis when I was in Greece and I have seen the other 3 previous films a few times. Back in high school my computer science 101 final project was to program the interface seen at

This was pretty funny :-) It reminded me a lot of my course on integrating culture into the curriculum

When I came home yesterday I fired up my xbox 360 to get the new OS update that gives me the Metro style UI. In the grand scheme of things I do like it. I think it's high time that Microsoft looked at its product offerings and designed some consistency (or at least a common theme) across its services. The desktop and Window metaphor is getting a bit stale - it's still useful, but not in all contexts

It's interesting, AvantGo may be gone, but it's spiritual successors do live on!  I had tried both Instapaper and ReaditLater. I ended up going with ReaditLater for pricing reasons. Yes, I know that $5 for instapaper isn't that much to spend, but ReaditLater was on sale for $3, so I bought that - the way I see it, I just got some coffee money to sip while I read the news! In any case, Christian

Now that Alone in the Dark is done, I am wondering what game I should pour my energy and attention into...  I couldn't decide, so I put in my Orange Box disc and I started playing Half-Life 2 (the original) and Portal. The graphics do seem a bit dated, but considering that I completely missed both games when they first came out, it doesn't bother me as much.  Half-Life 2 seems

Yesterday I got a notice that VisualCV will be closing down shop at the end of this month. The interesting thing is that I thought that I had erased my profile from VisualCV back in the summer (or in the early autumn). It's nice that they will be completely destroying all the data from their servers and destroying all their backups. I had started using VisualCV when it first came out, mostly because
