Too many Christmas lights?

Too many Christmas lights? 12/10/2003 07:56 PM
Is there such a thing as too many Christmas lights? I love seeing lavish displays of lights at Christmas time. Some folks like a few old-fashioned Christmas lights and some like to deck the halls in a blaze of glory (this one boasts 700,000 lights). And how much does it cost to run a fabulous display?

Roland Tanglao reports......

If you haven't already, go check out our new venture, Bryght.

What is Bryght? Bryght is all of the following:

1. "The Salesforce.com of community content"
2. Content Management System + Community Blogging System + Email + DNS + Domain Name Registration + much more (see our features page for more details)
3. A hosted website service for communities, corporations, organizations and individuals built using the open source Drupal system.

What is the relationship between Bryght and StreamLine? None, other than the fact that I work on both :-) !

Seriously, StreamLine continues to resell Blogware blogs to individuals and Bryght is focused solely on hosted Drupal sites (with domains, email and DNS as well).

Why Blogware blogs? Because Blogware is still the best individual hosted blog service out there.
Why Bryght? Because Bryght is the best hosted website service for communities.

Gateway will close its Sioux Falls, S.D., facility this month, as part of its plan to return to profitability.

Here's a statistic for you: in the last four years, Gateway has reduced their workforce by 91%, from 24,000 workers worldwide in 2000 to just 2,000 workers after this latest round of layoffs.

Where Was FERC When the Lights Went Out?

Where Was FERC When the Lights Went Out? 08/06/2004 09:40 AM

SF Chronicle: Death Star' trader admits manipulating California market. The Enron Corp. energy trader who devised the notorious "Death Star'' scheme to bill California for fictitious electricity pleaded guilty in a San Francisco court to a federal fraud charge and admitted plotting to manipulate the market during the state's energy crisis.

Who else should be indicted? An e-mail correspondent this morning points to one of the worst offenders in this scandal: the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, where inaction in the face of utter sleaze is a way of life. Instead of helping California and the other states that got screwed by the bandits at Enron and other energy companies, FERC has consistently stiffed the victims, offering a tidbit here and there but essentially doing nothing serious. FERC keeps insisting that it's on the case. We'll need some actual evidence one of these days.

Control TiVo, Lights With Your PSP

Control TiVo, Lights With Your PSP 04/19/2005 08:47 AM

Myriad hacks are emerging for the PSP as eager tweakers have their way with the black box. Add to the list the ability to control your home automation system (and TiVo) wirelessly. Liquidice explains:

I now have the ability to turn my lights on and off. [I] have full control (Play, Stop, Pause, Menu) of my DVD player, TIVO, and High Def TV, all wirelessly from my PSP. ... I put an image map on [some] graphics and created some HTML pages which are hosted on my WACI NX server. The links are crafted so that when the PSP highlights and clicks on a spot on the image map, it instructs the WACI NX server to send an IR signal to my A/V equipment or triggers it's relays to cut power on the lights.

While he doesn't have step-by-step instructions, he explains his methodologies pretty clearly, and mentions that an official Sony web browser for the PSP will make things much simpler.

(#gizmodo frequenter AMIB points out (with some sass, it's noted) that the PSP isn't so spectacular in this feat because all the heavy lifting is handled by the home automation web server. A valid point, by way of saying any device or code that can make a GET request to a web server can accomplish the same thing.)

MP3 market looks bright for Apple

MP3 market looks bright for Apple 04/13/2005 11:03 AM
Apple Computer will continue to dominate the MP3 player market, which is projected to grow from an installed base of 16.2 million last year to 56.1 million by 2010. JupiterResearch, a division of Jupitermedia Corporation, today reported that U.S. shipments of MP3 players will grow 35% to 18.2 million in 2005 and maintain a compound annual growth rate of over 10% through 2010, reaching an installed base of 56.1 million by then, up from 16.2 million in 2004. MP3 players will reach critical mass this year, fueling demand for digital music services and stores. "Apple shows no signs of losing momentum," said Michael Gartenberg, VP and Research Director at JupiterResearch. "The iPod is a consumer phenomenon. Apple dominates this sector and will dominate portable MP3 player growth over the medium term," added Gartenberg. Mostly due to the iPod's success, JupiterResearch has raised its near-term forecast, but projects that flash-based player shipments will surpass those of hard-drive models in 2007. The forecast appears in the newly published report, "U.S. Portable Music Device Forecast, 2005-2010."

Bush was to head for the crucial state of Pennsylvania shortly after the balloons dropped in Madison Square Garden, and Democrat John Kerry held a midnight rally in Ohio.

The end of the light bulb? E. Fred Schubert, a professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute "claims to have invented a 99-percent efficient reflector that promises to speed the replacement of light bulbs with LEDs." According to researchers, this could happen within the next five years. The current prototype is bankrolled by the ARPA and The National Science Foundation "recently award Schubert's team a $210,000 grant to create in three years a commercial version of his patented omnidirectional reflector."

"Schubert claimed that lighting accounts for 25 percent of U.S. electrical energy consumption. Since white LEDs emit more light per dollar and generate less unwanted heat, they are potentially a major energy saver." (see EE Times link)

Meanwhile, some of the oldtimers seem to be pretty refractory.

ESA astronaut, Pedro Duque writes "I am writing these notes in the Soyuz with a cheap ballpoint pen. Why is that important? As it happens, I've been working in space programmes for seventeen years, eleven of these as an astronaut, and I've always believed, because that is what I've always been told, that normal ballpoint pens don't work in space... and here I am, it doesn't stop working and it doesn't 'spit' or anything. Sometimes being too cautious keeps you from trying, and therefore things are built more complex than necessary." From Snopes: Fisher spent over one million dollars in trying to perfect the ball point pen before he made his first successful pressurized pens in 1965, which NASA uses. [via GearBits]

Mizuka just asked me if I had heard about some guy who was busted for making tons of money trading stocks who claims to be a time-traveler. The story was that he would show them the time-machine if they let him go. She said her Japanese friends were talking about it. I laughed and checked Google News with an assortment of keywords with no results. I wandered over to #joiito . Soon enough nichlas came up with a link to a WWN article from March, 2003 about the story. Just as I was wondering if this was something to blog about, KevinMarks page-slapped us with the snopes.com entry from April 2003 debunking the story.

I would really love to see the path that this silly story took over the last 1 1/2 years to get from WWN to me via the Japanese girls gossip network.
