The Moments Between, Episode 1: Japan from Trey Ratcliff on Vimeo. It’s a slow motion technique enabled by a $1000 camera capable of 300 frames per second (typical video is 30). It’s fun.

I’m not big on sitcoms. The staccato formula of the format and the namesake situations usually leave me cold. I gave Big Bang Theory I watched after Mike said it is one of the few shows he watches (besides *poker* and the Ducks). I giggled once or twice during my first episode but that formula was still distracting. Then I watched another. Laughed more. And another. And now I’m sold.

If you have an iPhone, iPod touch, or Android, check out ipaulo on your device. I installed the wptouch plugin to test it out for possible use at work.

I love let me google that for you.com!!

I’m looking for a new RSS reader for the iPhone. I have tried Google Reader and Netnewswire. Both are excellent, but they don’t do what I want. I want:

ability to save for reading later and tagging

send item to email without leaving the reader

full fledged web interface for desktop use

offline reading would be nice

I think that’s it. I stopped using Google Reader when I switched to Netnewswire. I took a look at it again while I made my list. Google Reader’s share with note option could be uses as a tag. I’ll have to revisit Reader. In the meantime, please help!

Another excellent new product released today, the Freaking Huge URL Generator. Tinyurl and Bit.ly both had better watch this new competitor.

Some great new technology is being introduced today. My favorites so far are Google’s Autopilot and IE 8.1 (Eagle Eye)

I haven’t posted in 2009? That’s odd. I’m trying out tumblr. It looks neat but the RSS feed import features don’t work the way I expect. It’s strange.

woot! It’s not as pretty as I would like, but it will work for now. You’ll notice iPaulo.com now has a second page called Page 914. It’s basically my google reader shared items I mentioned earlier, wrapped into a feedburner feed to allow styling. I read about how to do the wrapping at andrew grant’s site, and the post is from late 2006 (ancient history I thought). But it seems like it’s still the way to do what I wanted. Twisted. Enjoy page 914.
