Wind Farm - Growing 150-ton plants in
the sky 03/20/2003 04:22 PM
Wind power had a record year in 2002, with 6.8 gigawatts of new power taking the combined worldwide total to 31 gigawatts. Only five years ago, 75% of that capacity was not even built yet, and the generating capacity of individual wind power turbines was a measly 150 kilowatts. Today's standard wind turbines pump out 2-3 megawatts each, and yet more powerful and efficient prototypes are already being tested. Wind power is advancing quickly, that's clear. At a recent alternative energy conference in the US, Christopher Flavin, President of Worldwatch, stated that "Wind Power is breaking into the mainstream," and that it will be "the lowest-cost electricity within the next few years." Today, so-called Wind Farms are "sprouting up" all over the world. Recent innovations have even made it possible to install the first wind power in Antarctica, where the average windspeed is more than 25 mph, and can gust to 150mph. These "fortified" windmills are smaller and shorter than the 2-3 megawatt models, however. A full-sized windmill stands more than 50 meters high, and that makes them quite difficult to construct. I visited a "growing" wind farm last year, one that was about half-way finished, and was given a tour of the site by the construction manager. What follows is a short pictorial account of my site-tour, and a description of the processes involved in changing a fallow, rocky coastline into a productive wind farm.

"Canon" Turns Plants, Flowers Into
Speakers 07/17/2004 12:54 PM

The Music Bird Corporation has developed a fantastic new product that is only slightly tainted by their ad-copy flim-flammery -- the "Canon," a series of vases and flower pots that actually use the leaves and flowers of plants as speakers. The Canon (a play on Japanese words for flower ("ka") and sound ("non")) uses an acrylic tube to vibrate the flowers, adding directionless sound, which the creators of the product admonish "raise[s] the healing effects" by adding the missing fifth dimension of sound (I hadn't realized flowers had any healing effects at all, besides mending broken hearts. (I'm puking, too.))

The Canon vibro-vegetables will be available in limited quantities this month for prices between $45 and $450, in a variety of styles.

T-Mobile Sidekick 2/Danger Hiptop 2
Revealed 06/22/2004 01:49 PM

Speaking of FCC leaks, looks like the Sidekick II -- note the T-Mobile 'Sidekick' branding, and not 'Hiptop' -- is approved for FCC use, which means among other things pictures and user manuals have been revealed. It looks similar to the unit we posted a few months ago, but it looks like the camera on the back might include a flash, to which we say with no shame at all, "Oh, snap!" (Okay, maybe a little shame). Go ahead and dig around on the FCC site and see what you can find and we'll do the same. Let's just hope and pray that camera is 1-megapixel plus.

Danger Hiptop SDK 03/19/2003 10:26 PM
The Danger Hiptop SDK is available. Boing Boing posted an inaccur ate rant from AaronSw about it; you actually can run your own apps on your own Hiptop. But it's still a problem that only T-Mobile-approved apps can be downloaded. It's increasingly clear that the cellular industry needs to be vertically disintegrated just like wired telcos and ISPs. People also need to learn that "unlimited" plans are part of the problem since they incentivize carries to screw with their customers to limit network usage. I'd much prefer an uncensored pay-per-bit plan (or Paris Metro Pricing).

A bit of interesting chim cham from one Mr. Brahe, of One Internet Lane: Apparently, while futzing around with the new Sidekick II in San Diego, he happened to pick up on an important difference between the old model and the new: While user-submitted programs for the first Sidekick had to be approved by T-Mobile (something they were seemingly reticent to do, like, ever), Danger, creator of the Sidekick (nee Hiptop) have wrested control of user-submitted applications back, making one critical difference between versions: the new model will likely have more of what people really want: applications.

Of course, one Internet Semistar does not a source make, but if we'll follow up with Danger and see what we can find out.

More on EV-DO and the color Hiptop

More on EV-DO and the color Hiptop 03/21/2003 12:13 AM

Rich Brome of PhoneScoop writes in with some comments about the color Hiptop and Verizon's new high-speed 1xEV-DO cellular network:

The color Hiptop will have a 65,000 TFT display. The Danger people told me at CTIA they have (had) various prototypes will all kinds of displays, but they have settled on the high-end TFT they were showing at CTIA, which I thought looked pretty good. Not the brightest, but very clear, colorful, and easy to read in most lighting.

The 1xEV-DO network set up at CTIA was a temporary one, and with so many temporary 3G networks of all types set up for demos for the show, the whole city was one big interference nightmare. There were just too many companies trying to put up extra temporary antennas on the roof, etc. - so that THEIR demo worked, other demos be damned. Everyone had cell phone problems the whole time (ironic, but it happens every time). There were many outages.

So I'm not at all surprised that the speed of the 1xEV-DO network didn't impress. In a real installation, the network would be optimized and interference issues would be worked out through months of testing and tweaking - something that was not possible just for CTIA. In Verizon's long-running tests in San Diego and Washington, the speed has been quite impressive.

Dissing the HipTop

Dissing the HipTop 03/20/2003 08:30 AM

A reader who wishes remain to anonymous wrote in to say that he's played with the new color HipTop from Danger, and that's not all that hot:

I saw a pre-production model while out in CA, and if the production model follows the same specs, it's got a *terrible* washed-out LCD display. Dual-scan, not active. Like you'd find on a toy. Given the cheap plastics and lousy build quality of the current units, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if they do cheap out on the color ones, as well.
