Gender Genie

Gender Genie 12/30/2003 01:26 AM
Interesting... This neat little program claims it can guess the author's sex by the distribution of words in text. At least it guessed my sex correctly, but it did make the grave mistake of thinking that one of the people on my blogroll (right) is a male, even though I'm pretty sure she's a lady :).

Hooray for stereotypes.

IBM is working with Fox on technology to limit digital television broadcasts to particular local markets. It's a variation on the "broadcast flag" the FCC is imposing on makers of TVs and other digital media devices, but with a twist.

The argument for the flag is that it protects intellectual property, by limiting unauthorized redistribution of digital content. The IBM/Fox technology, on the other hand, protects business arrangements. It's designed, I assume, to preserve local advertising dollars, by forcing users to see content intended for their local markets. Nothing wrong with companies trying to fight change in their markets. What's worrisome is when that battle has government on one side. The danger of the broadcast flag is that it will be the entry point for all sorts of restrictions that have little to do with protecting copyright.

DIY Bottle Cap Tripod

DIY Bottle Cap Tripod 07/22/2004 08:11 AM

After we mentioned that bottlecap tripod a couple days ago, a few of your wrote in with your own DIY projects, and they were all very nice and stuff but posting news is hard work and we sort of, you know, forgot. But then Jake Ludington sent us this very well put together HOWTO this morning, and then we forgotted less. And it's probably the best DIY version we've yet seen; the addition of the washer would seem to add a lot of extra stability. (Thanks to everyone who sent in their versions!)

Bottle Cap Tripod 07/20/2004 02:28 PM

Just the other day I was commenting to a friend how infrequently the tripod mounts on most low-end consumer cameras are ever used, because who ever packs a tripod when they're running around with their tiny camera? This Bottle Cap Tripod is a great solution, then, making it easy to throw together a jerry-rigged tripod whenever you need one. And if you live in New York, you can probably just pick up a bottle off the street. Not perfect, but not bad for 10 bucks. (Thanks, Jon!)

Michale sez, "Tripods are great for photography, but a pain in the ass to carry. Everyone these days seems to be carrying water bottles everywhere. So trust a Japanese company to combine the two to make a really useful thing: A mount that makes a bottle filled with water or soda a useful stable base for your digital camera."

Catching Light In A Bottle

Catching Light In A Bottle 12/11/2003 02:43 AM
Apparently, some physicists have come up with a way to bri ng light to a screeching halt - if only for a tiny fraction of a second. It's believed this may be helpful in creating quantum computers (though, many people are still wondering if quantum computers will ever get anywhere. Of course, the bad joke on this is that maybe the problem is that they're trying to create quantum computers, which means they will never work. It's only when they don't try to create quantum computers that they will work...). You may recall that some physicists claimed to have stopped light in its tracks back in 2001. Apparently, that was nothing compared to what just happened, but my physics is a bit too rusty to understand the difference.

BottleSpy Counting Bottle Opener

BottleSpy Counting Bottle Opener 03/24/2005 11:22 AM

The Red Ferret Journal brings us the BottleSpy, a bottle opener that counts how many Michelob Ultras you've been conned into drinking. The LCD display keeps count and turns off after 15 seconds to save its battery. I'm thinking that if you can increment it by hand by toying with the sensor, that'd be great for those times when you switch back to your favorite canned beverage. Either way, it makes for a nice way of dropping you humbly at the front of the first step, even when you don't think you have a problem. $13 plus shipping, available now.

Gadgets Tie Workers to Work, The Bottle

Gadgets Tie Workers to Work, The Bottle 06/30/2004 12:37 PM

85 percent of surveyed workers are bringing a laptop, PDA, cellphone, or other gadget with them on vacation this year, according to a report commissioned by Avaya; a number that high sounds impressive and daunting at first, until you consider the 'cellphone' option. Who wouldn't take their cellphone with them on a trip, even if often turned off? Still, it reflects the flip side of our connected lifestyles, where trying to squeeze in a few extra minutes of work while at home or commuting opens up an avenue for work to find us even when we don't want it to. Take a tip from me: even if the boss can reach you after five glasses of Kentucky straight bourbon, they won't get anything out of the conversation, and you'll have forgotten it by morning.
