USB Christmas Tree

USB Christmas Tree 08/30/2004 08:08 AM

If any of you actually buy these USB-Powered Christmas Trees, you'll have to promise me that everything you put under your tree will also be a USB device. You could even wrap up little flash drives as presents and give them away to your office mates, or maybe put a USB-powered vibrator under there and spend New Year's filling out unemployment insurance forms.

Sad Christmas Tree

Sad Christmas Tree 03/06/2004 02:04 AM
A Christmas season, many years from now, one of my future children will ask wistfully why we, as Christmas-celebrating Catholics, don't partake in the ritual of the Christmas tree. I just know I'm going to have to recount the story...

AP - For years, Pat de Garmo's Christmas tree was her aging yucca plant. She doesn't like the idea of killing trees, and the size of her yard prevents her from getting a potted one. So year after year she strung lights and ornaments on the indoor plant, hanging toy drums and colored orbs from its stiff branches.

Saving fuel via wireless Internet and
the SUV v. the tree

Saving fuel via wireless Internet and
the SUV v. the tree 03/23/2005 08:10 PM

While driving from Boston to Washington, DC there were two occasions where a national wireless Internet would have saved some fuel.  The first occurred when impulse dictated the following of a "New Jersey State Aquarium" sign off the NJ Turnpike.  This attraction was in the car's GPS database so I asked the machine to change its destination. However, it turned out that the aquarium was closed for renovation until May and the side trip was merely a fuel-wasting detour.

The second occasion was en route to Longwood Gardens, near Wilmington, Delaware (fabulous greenhouses this time of year).  A bad accident on the other side of the road would have made it much faster to stay on the Interstate for another few exits.

The GPS is a $1000 machine with a powerful computer, a full North American database on a microdrive, and a large LCD display.  Adding an 802.11 receiver would add almost nothing to the cost.  If the U.S. had a free universally available wireless Internet companies such as Garmin would build Internet transceivers into their products so that they would know (1) current opening hours of attractions, and (2) the locations of traffic jams to route around.

We complain that we are running out of oil but we aren't willing to lift a technological finger to conserve any.

[Note: The traffic accident was an interesting example of Mutually Assured Destruction via SUV.  The driver of a GMC SUV had lost control of his vehicle and spun it around, ending up by smashing into a tree. Because his vehicle was so ponderously bulky the impact had knocked the tree out of the ground.  Sadly, in a Coyote v. Road Runner-esque turn of events, the tree proceeded to fall on the SUV's roof.  In an effort to keep SUVs from rolling over there apparently isn't much structure up there.  So the entire roof of the SUV had been flattened by the tree.]

Yahoo News was most cited news source by

According to Intelliseek, Yahoo News was the most cited news source on blogs in 2004. Congrats to the Yahoo News team! I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that Yahoo News is very blog and aggregator friendly? They've been pumping out RSS feeds and allowing you to subscribe to a news search as RSS for a while now. I think there's a connection. I can't wait to see even more of Yahoo becoming blog and RSS...
