So rumour has it Microsoft is going to get into the portable media player business, with the Zune brand (or is that a codename)? Anyway, there are a few things they could do here that would set themselves apart.  If they lock Zune into some particular proprietary music store, it’s all over.  It’s got to […]

Hello, World.

I’ve heard of this site before but today was the first time I dropped by.  It’s very cool.  Here’s where I’ve been (okay I’m still updating it.. I’ve travelled more than that).

I haven’t posted much lately.  I’ve been busy.

I had a very simple “Country of the Week” webpage a while ago, and I really liked the idea but the implementation wasn’t all that great, and during some recent moving around of servers and the like, it broke. I recently developed an interest in Ruby, and used a Country of the Week 2.0 as […]

I just sat through an hour of Sony’s press conference at E3. They showed a funky eyetoy / image recognition system that lets you play cards and have the system recognize the card you played and interact with it. They showed demos of a bunch of games that looked about equal to the XBox 360 […]
