QR Codes: bringing a second dimension to the mobile web

I recently struck up a conversation with our Ad Agency at work about using QR Codes in our coming campaigns, and it got me all excited about them again. In 1994, Denso-Wave created a two dimensional code called QR codes (QR for Quick Response), which are currently the leading type of 2D code used in … Read more

Cuban Olympian kicks ref, and gets banned

This is utterly inexcusable. Angel Matos of the Cuban Taekwondo team decided since he was disqualified from his Bronze Medal match due to injury that he would prove his martial arts prowess by attacking the referee. Good one jerk. The WTF rightfully suggested that this man and his coach, Leudis Gonzales be banned for life … Read more

iHologram puts 3D animation on your iPhone

This is another reason why I think the iPhone is a better mobile device than any other available by the collective knuckleheadery of the industry, it does a ton of cool; albeit useless, things. iHologram works by assuming a constant viewing angle (35-45 degrees), typical for when the device is placed on a tabletop. The … Read more

The effects of blogs to online reputations

I came across a post the other day about a photographer who was forcibly ejected from SF MOMA and initially I skimmed it, and then sort of just waived it off.

2008 Olympics Opening Ceremony Drummers: Total Coolness

This has to be the coolest thing I have seen in a really long time.

Transformers Animated invade the kids room

Since Litsa and the boys took off the other week to go galavanting along the left coast leaving me here to enjoy the bliss of working, I decided on a whim to paint a mural in their bedroom of the Transformers Animated poster. When it's completed, it will be almost 3 feet in diameter. It … Read more

5 days and a headache later: Cuil doesn’t make the grade

I was willing to give Cuil the benefit of the doubt, but I have to say that after using it heavily for the last 5 days – this isn't a competitor for Google: not at this stage of the game. I know I said I would use it as my default search for a week, … Read more
