• Boys and Their Toys: Why I (Still) Hate Video Games, Part II
    At the risk of annoying my boyfriend and all of his fellow gamers, I have decided to write the second installment of my diatribe against the video game. After reading my last blog (and lovingly outlining all of the ways I was wrong) my boyfriend offered several points in defense of video games, and gamers [...]
  • Point and Click: Seriously.
    Check it out: gizmag | The 3D air-mouse you wear as a ring: MagicMouse, a three-dimensional ultrasonic computer mouse designed by a team of five WPI undergraduates, is one of 10 inventions honored with the inaugural PopSci Invention Awards, the cover story in the June 2007 issue of Popular Science. This would make exploring Google Maps about 300 [...]
  • Microsoft Surface - Touch me baby!
    Check it out if you haven't: http://www.microsoft.com/surface/ Also check out the Multi-Input Touch Screen video that came out about a year ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp-y3ZNaCqs Very similar. Both very cool. Ever since I saw the youtube video I wondered when either Apple or Microsoft would man up and make it happen. (I wish Apple [...]
  • Like the Amish do...
    I've been on a bit of a blogging hiatus for a couple of reasons. For a while there it was out of sheer busyness. There was simply no time for writing anything at all that wasn't 100% critical. Then graduation happened, and that excuse went right out the window. Yet, still [...]
  • Better Living through Digital Chemistry
    I rely heavily on too many things. Mainly, the Internet. I just arrived Saturday night here in New York City, where I'll be interning for a division at Time Warner, Inc. I am staying at an apartment of one of my friends, who is also interning, but on the other coast. It just worked out conveniently [...]

From Fastcompany.com: Apple experts, such as MacWorld's Chris Breen, and Editorial Director Jason Snell, argue that the company is unlikely to dominate the cell phone market the way it does the music player market. [...]
  • I want it!
    It hasn't hit the market (or even started production) yet, but I just might be in love with the prototype laptop designed by Ziba and Intel. The Metro is the thinnest notebook thus far, measuring around 0.7 inches thick and weighing in at 2.25 lbs. It sports a snazzy, leather-like folio cover with outer digital [...]
  • A 'poke' of sorts
    Advertisers and marketers - Have you found a way to integrate your product or service as an application/feature in Facebook? You are fools if you haven't. As mentioned at Outfront, this type of marketing pattern flows seamlessly with the audience using Facebook. If your Facebook gadget serves a Facebook profile need or want, your name will gladly be [...]
  • Facebook: Starting to become my favorite.
    Facebook's newest attraction 'applications' are like widgets. I love my iMac dashboard and picking widgets. This is exactly what Facebook has given me. This will definitely be taking time away from MySpace. I've added iLike, Horoscopes, Causes and Compass. Compass puts me on a political spectrum somewhere between conservative [...]
