The Bill Day giveaway (part 3) - Zune 80GB (black) {Engadget}
Jun 27th 2008 11:32PM I'd go for a second Zune.. I want one to hack into a shelf-based device.
Watch Tracker tells time, tracks movements and fends off potential friends {Engadget}
May 17th 2008 11:00AM The watch is ugly - this means there's a small chip that supposedly handles all these functions, made cheaply. Someone will find a way to hack that chip into something better.

Did Craig Ferguson steal Ghost Chimp from a comic book artist? -- VIDEO {TV Squad}
May 28th 2007 2:14PM The only problem with Craig Ferguson's show is that I lose too much sleep staying up to watch his monologue! I don't know but I bet he's just the kind of cool guy who knew what Ghost Chimp was before he made the comment
E Ink Corp. announces "Vizplex" tech to speed, brighten displays {Engadget}
May 10th 2007 10:52AM 1. Smaller sizes are for things like simplified cellphone interfaces or PDA screens. My ideal would be a less-than-PDA: something I can just scribble on, save, start a new page, erase a page. No USB port or PC connectivity - thereby hopefully making it much thinner.
2. Why is everyone so focused on color for these things? Good black-and-white / greyscale can be very effective: as 1st generation Macs combined with 1st generation Laserwriters proved years ago.
Why I Don't Wear a Suit and Can't Figure Out Why Anyone Does ! {Blog Maverick}
Jan 16th 2007 3:30PM Yes, the post is about suits, but the underlying premise is a very good one for entrepreneurs and anyone else that wants to be successful: "Question assumptions"

And geez - Crusher was an extremely intelligent son of the ship's physician! If there were games he didn't "quite know yet" you'd think he at least had a pretty good education on the subject wouldn't you? Drop the hat, man!
Researchers create human-like "shape-shifting" lens {Engadget}
Aug 4th 2006 10:08PM This would be great to replace "progressive" lenses... a switch on the side of the glasses frame to switch from close to far lenses

Jul 28th 2006 9:53PM Theater comment: It's very intelligent to do the targeted-demographic theater idea.. I think the Landmark Theater experience sounds good too... how do we get one in our town (Tallahassee)? Is it something local entrepreneurs can do?

Jul 28th 2006 9:52PM Challenge idea: don't charge on entry to the movie. On exit, charge $X if they leave within the first 15 minutes of the film; X+Y if they leave within the first hour, $X+Y+Z if they stay past the first hour. X, Y, and Z will need some discussion. Their "ticket" when they enter the theater could be a countdown timer on a card (hey watch circuits cost very little these days) that they turn in as they leave the theater, where the cashier collects their payment for the entertainment they received. Put the policy in ads for the theaters but don't spend huge amounts promoting the films, at all.
