From Japan (of course), a wristwatch phone called the Finger Whisper that uses vibrations to turn your finger into an earpiece -- the catch is that you have to actually stick your finger into your ear to get it to work, something that might get rather tedious. Beginning or finishing a call with the Finger Whisper is as simple as touching your forefinger to your thumb. Read...

They're dogs... and they're playing POKER!! They've been hailed as some of the most important works of American art ever painted, they've been featured on television from The Simpsons to ESPN commercials to Cheers, but how much do we really know about the works of Cassius Marcellus Coolidge? For everyone that ever looked at the dogs playing poker and wanted to know more, here is the ultimate resource, including, of course, a gallery . Please excuse the cornea damagingly horrific site design.

The wizards at IBM have hatched a scheme to supply computing power to companies for short periods of time, rather than sticking with their tried-and-true business plan of selling computers outright to customers. IBM calls this new initiative on-demand computing. Will it pay off for Big Blue?

I agree with David Stephenson on this.  The US is missing a major PR and goodwill opportunity. BTW, it looks like Pfizer is giving as much as the entire US to disaster relief.  Spain nearly doubled the US contribution at $68 million...

A little free thinking: A balanced security budget would see us spending as much on support for our friends (people and not corrupt governments) in the developing world as on military power.

Food on a stick

Food on a stick 05/04/2004 05:04 PM

Random signage which, without the text warning you of drowning and strong currents, might give you the impression that there are dangerous black creatures under the ice trying to grab you. Maybe the designer watched old Star Trek episodes with changelings a few too many times. Illustrating a person drowning in an iconic fashion that would be understood regardless of language would present a challenge though. Maybe a rebus would work in this situation where it would have a picture of hole in the ice + a picture of a guy jumping into the hole = picture of a blue guy with X X for eyes.

My brain is on a news meltdown after reading most of the news over the last few days. It's too depressing to even comment on, as what is there left to say that hasn't been said already? I've purposefully stayed away from politics over the past 2 years since it's a really tired topic and it usually draws far too many kooks and wackos which I can live without. The more I read the news, the more I daydream about moving to a cabin above the Arctic Circle, learning survivalist skills and waiting for the world to finally do itself in. On the bright side, I don't think I'll have any problem keeping my vow to never return to the US to live.

I have been craving corn dogs lately. Those unfamiliar with this delicacy which blends meat, cheese and cornmeal on a stick, should have a look at a corndog recipe [pdf 96k] and take a gander at the Corn Dog Festival where people do fun things with corn dogs. National Corn Dog Day in March had the best poster ever this year featuring corn dog sperm. There are chili-cheese-onion variants of corn dogs as well. At some point during Vappu, obviously after a beer or two, I started to think that the grilli's around Helsinki might love to have food on a stick in addition to the delicious, yet terribly messy to eat when drunk, sandwiches. Could there be a more perfect food for drunks? :) Perhaps Pronto Pup would be interested in a Finnish distributor. Mmmm.... chili-onion-aura cheese corndogs at 2am...mmmmm.

A new book from David Kahn might interest cryptography history buffs, The Reader of Gentlemen's Mail: Herbert O. Yardley and the Birth of American Codebreaking, was just released by Yale University Press. It's apparently the first biography of Yardley who was the key figure behind MI-8 and the "Black Chamber" who later became something of a cryptographer for hire. Kahn is an excellent author on the topic so it should be a very good book.

MSI Mega Stick 527

MSI Mega Stick 527 02/05/2005 10:17 PM

It's goofy looking, but the MSI Mega Stick 527 has a ton of features, including built-in USB 2.0 connector and an FM recording radio. Available in sizes up to 512 only, though, which puts it in a low-class slot at this point (as if the afro-sporting carton didn't already do so). Marketed to kids with no taste, the Mega Stick 527 gets 18 hours of battery life from a single AAA battery and should be available any time.

Red Hat: Stick with Windows at home

Red Hat: Stick with Windows at home 11/04/2003 10:55 AM
Red Hat's chief executive has said that Linux needs to mature further before home users will get a positive experience from the operating system, saying they should choose Windows instead. Linux is seen by Microsoft as its most dangerous competitor for desktop operating systems, and after a number of high-profile cases where government departments have switched from Windows to Linux-based systems, the OS has been making some progress. However, Red Hat said that the hype around desktop Linux is still mostly unfounded at the moment.

Tap & Tickle and Stick Shadows

Tap & Tickle and Stick Shadows 06/03/2004 12:37 AM

Wow!  This sounds cool.  Thanks Jonas!

S ocialighting It.

Well, I haven't heard back from Socialight, yet, but - gratuitous use of the term "social network" aside - this seems like a fun thing to try out. In a nutshell, Socialight is a cellphone application (currently for Symbian enabled phones), which provides the user with two distinct features - the suggestively named "tap & tickle" as well as "stick shadows".

The former simply boils down to a remote controlling of someone else's "vibrate" function, turning the target phone into a very high-tech version of an expensive handbuzzer. Tap the joystick (yes, this is suggestive, I know) and your target's phone will vibrate. Hold the stick, or shake it, and the tickling will go on for some time. Which is, btw, a nice way to drain someone else's batteries, if you're so inclined.

The latter is more interesting. "Sticky Shadows" are multimedia notes placeable virtually anywhere. A Socialight enabled phone crossing the location of such a note will retrieve and display the associated text, picture, sound, or video. This makes for a number of great uses. Virtual scavenger hunts are the more playful variants, location aware reminders ("Get milk while you're here, love Mum") or guided tours ("At this location, in 1953...") make for real world uses.

An interesting idea. I'll be waiting to test it out in actual scenarios. Once I do have it, expect a repetition of the infamous semacoding-the-city incident of 2004 :)

Breathing hard with a big stick

Breathing hard with a big stick 12/19/2004 02:59 PM

« Santa visits Tallinn and longs for the days when kids wished for world peace instead of new computers. A collection of photos taken with the Lomo, Leica and the Horizon panoramic camera in Tallinn 2 weeks ago. »

Since the Christmas musak and tchotchkes begins sometime in October it would be Christmas every 5.5 days, or thereabouts, if it was spread throughout the year. I'm not sure if a pikkupikkujoulu once a week would be preferable to the 2.5 month binge on holiday cheer the world seems to go nuts over, but it might be more relaxing. Christmas is just too damn manic in a manic time of year. It's no wonder it drives people to drink.

I might also register my disdain for the plastic tree the resident association put up in the common area this year. Granted, last year it crapped needles everywhere but that might have been due to putting it up over a month before Christmas next to the radiator and never watering it. Plastic trees just bring out the grinch in me.

I managed to survive my first game of sähly [pronounced SAH-loo with a short a and breathy h.], a.k.a. Finnish floorball. As a former Catholic school girl who was once a vicious player of field hockey, a game where 11 repressed teenage girls in skirts entertain their homicidal urges by running around with hardwood mallets while chasing a billiard ball and whacking each other in the legs, I was somewhat disappointed by how tame the game seemed. :) Not one coworker tried to shatter my kneecap with the lightweight plastic stick the game is played with. Of course, I'm about 20 years out of shape for competitive sports so it's a good thing that we weren't armed or dangerous. The guys at Nokia House in Boston had a team, but they took it seriously and never invited me to play which, judging how much like an oaf I was this evening, was likely a wise choice on their part. Regardless, it was a lot more fun than I thought it would be and I'll have to go find a good stick of my own to play with sometime soon. Even being a n00b, I still didn't look quite so, uh, goofy as the Arkéomon which seems to be the, just guessing here, the sähly team for the archeology department at U of H. Well, ok, I probably did only I didn't have to wear the suit. :)

2GB Memory Stick PRO Duo (High-Speed)

2GB Memory Stick PRO Duo (High-Speed) 03/30/2005 03:59 AM

Sony is finally getting around to releasing their 2GB Memory Stick Pro Duo (High-Speed) cards. They announced these things back in September of 2004, and have kicked the release date back twice. The "(High-Speed)" in the name indicates the cards have a transfer rate of 80Mbps (10MB/sec), which is far more than you'll ever need for anything practical. Sony really needs to do something about this Memory Stick naming scheme, because it's getting to be like Street Fighter games. I needn't remind you this stick is PSP compatible.
