Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Gadgets, HumorFor you beer fans, now there’s a product for you! Since you are going to get a beer belly anyway, might as well make it useful right?

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Software, TechnologySongbird is an open source alternative to services like iTunes and Windows Media Player. Read more on BoingBoing. The names behind this are big including people who helped build Winamp (Rob Lord), Muse, Yahoo’s “Y! Music Engine” media player, and developers from Mozilla Foundation.

Seeking low cost, high volume van February 7, 2006 2:31 pm
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily LifeAnyone know someone at a car dealership looking to move a program van or some large capacity vehicle at low cost? I missed an opportunity to get a 12 seater van for $4000 and now I’m practically in tears over it. I would jump at a 9-12 person van right now. Anything that seats 7 or more is what we need. We need something sooner than later so keep your eyes peeled. Thanks!

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily LifeWow! I just received a spam email titled "Re: H N T"! No, it didn’t originate from Osbasso. It was selling Viagra (as if married people need that! "Look honey!" "Dear, isn’t that going to get in the way while you paint the walls?").
add a commentJoss Whedon (Buffy, Firefly) Speaks on the Future of TV February 7, 2006 9:40 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Firefly / Serenity, Of Interest, TV / MoviesFrom a recent contribution by Joss Whedon to tv.com regarding the future of television. First, on great series:
Lost has that one-of-a-kind alchemy that really can’t be copied. Therefore, look for the original series Misplaced, as well as Unfound, Not So Much with the Whereabouts and Just Pull Over and Ask!
And technology:
TiVo, iPods, streaming video — the way we watch TV is changing dramatically. It’s on our phones, in our cars — even projected on specialized eyeglasses. But don’t listen to the talk about having shows beamed directly into your brain. That’s science-fiction nonsense. Shows will be stored in the pancreas and will enter the brain through the bloodstream after being downloaded into your iHole.
He hints to the evolution of Firefly but for that you’ll have to read the article.
