that uses vibrations to turn your finger into an earpiece -- the catch
is that you have to actually stick your finger into your ear to get it
to work, something that might get rather tedious. Beginning or
finishing a call with the Finger Whisper is as simple as touching your
forefinger to your thumb. Read...

It's goofy looking, but the MSI Mega Stick 527 has a
ton of features, including built-in USB 2.0 connector and an FM
recording radio. Available in sizes up to 512 only, though, which puts
it in a low-class slot at this point (as if the afro-sporting carton
didn't already do so). Marketed to kids with no taste, the Mega Stick
527 gets 18 hours of battery life from a single AAA battery and should
be available any time.

military power.

Random signage which, without the text warning you of drowning and
strong currents, might give you the impression that there are
dangerous black creatures under the ice trying to grab you. Maybe the
designer watched old Star Trek episodes with changelings a few too
many times. Illustrating a person drowning in an iconic fashion that
would be understood regardless of language would present a challenge
though. Maybe a rebus would work in this situation where it would have
a picture of hole in the ice + a picture of a guy jumping into the
hole = picture of a blue guy with X X for eyes.
My brain is on a news meltdown after reading most of the news over
the last few days. It's too depressing to even comment on, as what is
there left to say that hasn't been said already? I've purposefully
stayed away from politics over the past 2 years since it's a really
tired topic and it usually draws far too many kooks and wackos which I
can live without. The more I read the news, the more I daydream about
moving to a cabin above the Arctic Circle, learning survivalist skills
and waiting for the world to finally do itself in. On the bright side,
I don't think I'll have any problem keeping my vow to never return to
the US to live.
I have been craving corn dogs lately. Those unfamiliar with this
delicacy which blends meat, cheese
and cornmeal on a stick, should have a look at a corndog recipe [pdf 96k]
and take a gander at the Corn Dog
Festival where people do fun things with corn dogs. National Corn
Dog Day in March had the best poster
ever this year featuring corn dog sperm. There are
chili-cheese-onion variants of corn dogs as well. At some point during
Vappu, obviously after a beer or two, I started to think that the
grilli's around Helsinki might love to have food on a stick in
addition to the delicious, yet terribly messy to eat when drunk,
sandwiches. Could there be a more perfect food for drunks? :) Perhaps
Pronto Pup would be interested
in a Finnish distributor. Mmmm.... chili-onion-aura cheese corndogs at
2am...mmmmm.
A new book from David Kahn might interest cryptography history buffs,
The
Reader of Gentlemen's Mail: Herbert O. Yardley and the Birth of
American Codebreaking, was just released by Yale University
Press. It's apparently the first biography of Yardley who was the key
figure behind MI-8 and the "Black Chamber" who later became something
of a cryptographer for hire. Kahn is an excellent author on the topic
so it should be a very good book.

« Santa visits Tallinn and longs for the days when kids wished
for world peace instead of new computers. A collection of
photos taken with the Lomo, Leica and the Horizon panoramic camera in
Tallinn 2 weeks ago. »
Since the Christmas musak and tchotchkes begins sometime in October
it would be Christmas every 5.5 days, or thereabouts, if it was spread
throughout the year. I'm not sure if a pikkupikkujoulu once a week
would be preferable to the 2.5 month binge on holiday cheer the world
seems to go nuts over, but it might be more relaxing. Christmas is
just too damn manic in a manic time of year. It's no wonder it drives
people to drink.
I might also register my disdain for the plastic tree the resident
association put up in the common area this year. Granted, last year it
crapped needles everywhere but that might have been due to putting it
up over a month before Christmas next to the radiator and never
watering it. Plastic trees just bring out the grinch in me.
I managed to survive my first game of sähly [pronounced
SAH-loo with a short a and breathy h.], a.k.a. Finnish floorball. As a
former Catholic school girl who was once a vicious player of field
hockey, a game where 11 repressed teenage girls in skirts entertain
their homicidal urges by running around with hardwood mallets while
chasing a billiard ball and whacking each other in the legs, I was
somewhat disappointed by how tame the game seemed. :) Not one coworker
tried to shatter my kneecap with the lightweight plastic stick the
game is played with. Of course, I'm about 20 years out of shape for
competitive sports so it's a good thing that we weren't armed or
dangerous. The guys at Nokia House in Boston had a team, but they took
it seriously and never invited me to play which, judging how much like
an oaf I was this evening, was likely a wise choice on their part.
Regardless, it was a lot more fun than I thought it would be and I'll
have to go find a good stick of my own to play with sometime soon.
Even being a n00b, I still didn't look quite so, uh, goofy as the
Arkéomon which seems to be the, just guessing here, the sähly team
for the archeology department at U of H. Well, ok, I probably did only
I didn't have to wear the suit. :)

Tap & Tickle and Stick Shadows
Tap & Tickle and Stick Shadows
06/03/2004 12:37 AMWow! This sounds cool. Thanks Jonas!
S
ocialighting It.
Well, I haven't heard back from Socialight, yet, but -
gratuitous use of the term "social network" aside - this seems like a
fun thing to try out. In a nutshell, Socialight is a cellphone
application (currently for Symbian enabled phones), which provides the
user with two distinct features - the suggestively named "tap &
tickle" as well as "stick shadows".
The former simply boils down to a remote controlling of someone
else's "vibrate" function, turning the target phone into a very
high-tech version of an expensive handbuzzer. Tap the joystick (yes,
this is suggestive, I know) and your target's phone will
vibrate. Hold the stick, or shake it, and the tickling will go on for
some time. Which is, btw, a nice way to drain someone else's
batteries, if you're so inclined.
The latter is more interesting. "Sticky Shadows" are multimedia
notes placeable virtually anywhere. A Socialight enabled phone
crossing the location of such a note will retrieve and display the
associated text, picture, sound, or video. This makes for a number of
great uses. Virtual scavenger hunts are the more playful variants,
location aware reminders ("Get milk while you're here, love Mum") or
guided tours ("At this location, in 1953...") make for real world
uses.
An interesting idea. I'll be waiting to test it out in actual
scenarios. Once I do have it, expect a repetition of the infamous
semacoding-the-city incident of 2004 :)

Red Hat: Stick with Windows at home
11/04/2003 10:55 AMRed Hat's chief executive has said that Linux needs to mature further
before home users will get a positive experience from the operating
system, saying they should choose Windows instead. Linux is seen by
Microsoft as its most dangerous competitor for desktop operating
systems, and after a number of high-profile cases where government
departments have switched from Windows to Linux-based systems, the OS
has been making some progress. However, Red Hat said that the hype
around desktop Linux is still mostly unfounded at the moment.

Sony is finally getting around to
releasing their 2GB Memory Stick Pro Duo (High-Speed) cards. They
announced these things back in September of 2004, and have kicked the
release date back twice. The "(High-Speed)" in the name indicates the
cards have a transfer rate of 80Mbps (10MB/sec), which is far more
than you'll ever need for anything practical. Sony really needs to do
something about this Memory Stick naming scheme, because it's getting
to be like Street Fighter games. I needn't remind you this stick is
PSP compatible.
