For Enlux Lighting, developing a floodlight bulb that uses light-emitting diodes but offers the same brightness as a 65-watt incandescent lamp meant overcoming a big problem: heat. That may seem odd, because most solid-state L.E.D.'s are not noticeably hot. But Dan Nelson, the Enlux marketing director, said that was mainly because of how they are used.

AP - If a time traveler from a hundred years ago were to visit a home today, much of the technology would be completely alien. The television, cordless phone and computer would probably leave him flabbergasted.

An Introduction to LEDs 07/01/2004 10:48 AM

IDFuel has a short introduction to one of our favorite diodes, the LED, providing a short history and "How It Works," as well as linking to some of the stalwart sites like LED Museum and DigiKey. What I didn't see, though, and was hoping to, were some inexpensive LED DIY projects. Until SolarBotics sends me a reprint of the BEAM instructions I've lost, I've got all this solder here and nothing to drip it on.

Programmability of 18 LEDs 06/05/2005 11:15 PM
New universal LED controller provides complete programmability of up to 18 LEDs for the control of lightshows, backlights and signal LEDs in cellular handsets, handheld games, and other portable devices requiring varying light sequences. The new DA9026 IC allows the control of sequences of LED patterns including combined RGB LEDs, with programmable variables such as pattern, repetition rate and intensity of each LED – this is done entirely within the device, removing the need for dedicated processing power.

Innovative Device has created a new and affordable product for high-tech houses and apartments. A rotating arm (30 rps) with 33 leds give a weird and mysterious effect. The arm is invisible because of the high rotary speed, but the leds are clearly visible because of the ”persistence of vision” effect. The result is a great looking clock, ideal for a luxury room or any kind of shop. [PRWEB Jun 3, 2005]

What's most interesting is that there are a couple of concepts in the early Lisa sketches that didn't see the light of day until OS X.

Lunch With Pierre.

For some time I've been meaning to hook up with Pierre Omidyar, the founder and Chair of eBay. We finally got together at lunch earlier this week in Redwood City, where his foundation is based. I'd heard Pierre is just about the most down-to-earth, "normal" fellow one might want to meet, it in fact it turned out to be true. He kicked out of Valley life in 1999 and moved to the desert outside Las Vegas (he also spends a lot of time in France). He comes back every so often for eBay meetings and to meet with his foundation staff, and it's this foundation that really gets him up in the morning these days. He's made news recently by announcing a new strategy for the organization, one which blends a bent for social change with capitalism - in other words, he's expanding from philanthropy into the investment game, but he plans to focus on businesses that connect people to each other to create the kind of wholesale change that eBay did. Omidyar repeated to me a very repeatable observation: that eBay has been the vehicle for millions of strangers to establish relationships of trust with each other.

Hence his investment in Meetup, for example. It's the first business Omidyar has seen with the same ability to connect folks for social good. Good for Scott!

Pierre and I had a good lunch, talking over many issues for the book. But really, our conversation always came back to community, the core driver of value at eBay. We discussed Tim's concept of the "architecture of participation" and how critical it is in the Web 2.0 world, and how much of the media world has yet to grok it. You can't outsource participation to the ghettos of discussion threads, in other words. The online media world is still looking for its Pong, as Martin, says, but I think we're getting close. Publications are essentially reflections of communities. And I believe the best blogs are publications, in a very classical sense.

In any case, those were the kind of tangents we took during lunch. We did talk search and SFO and such, but I've gotta save that for the book.  [John Battelle's Searchblog]

I sure hope Pierre groks what we're up to.  Maybe one day some money wil start flowing to open source and open standards projects.

Hey!  Maybe John can help set that up?

I made sure that Steve Gillmor and Dan Farber listened to Dick Hardt last night in a nearly deserted BoF - here at ETech.

It's a real shame that Dick's good buddy Tim - couldn't find some stage time for Sxip.

Oh well - they will.

But at least Steve is listening and grokking.

Can Kevin Martin Grok Technology?

Can Kevin Martin Grok Technology? 03/17/2005 03:26 AM
As was widely expected, Kevin Martin will be taking over as FCC chair following Michael Powell's tenure. There's been lots of chatter about this, and the general consensus seems to be that Martin will be both good and bad in some ways. However, the most perceptive point may be from Kevin Werbach (who worked at the FCC), who points out that the real trick for an FCC head is to "grok" technology, and not to be a politician. So far, it's not clear that Martin meets that criteria. The FCC position is really a technology job, not a political one -- and playing politician over technologist will end up creating many more problems than it solves.
