I’m Yours… Sort of…
Dec 14th
Here we have just a little guy that puts me to shame on the ukulele and likely any other stringed instrument. I think I may have his singing and lyric remembering skills beat though.
You’ve got to admit this is pretty darn cute, even if he doesn’t know all but two words of the song. I have to admit my favorite thing about this video is all the times the kid sticks out his tongue while singing.
Michelin Man Is a Hero To Roadkill
Dec 12th
I was watching Its a Wonderful Life on Iowa’s local channel 13 when a strange commercial caught my eye. Michelin (yes, the tire company) is playing the hero to roadkill. Check out this ad that they aired.
How awesome was that? Props to the marketing guys at Michelin.
Google Launches Real-time Search
Dec 7th
Twitter, Facebook and even Bing have all embraced the power of real-time updates. Today, Google launched its very own real-time search which streams Twitter updates, Yahoo Answers, news articles and webpages on search result pages.
Here’s a video demo from Google:
In addition, Google also unveiled Google Goggles which allows users to snap a photo on their phone and Google will search the photo for text and show information. The feature also works with landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, Google will return information about the landmark on the fly.
Time Shows Off Tablet Size Sports Illustrated
Dec 7th
The Apple tablet hasn’t even been confirmed to exist (by Apple anyway) and yet companies like Time and Condé Nast are already developing tablet size versions of their magazines to be compatible with the Apple tablet as well as others. Sports Illustrated showcased their digital magazine on a YouTube video you can catch after the break.
Interesting! This is why I need stock in Apple. Companies are already developing for hardware that doesn’t exist yet. The SI digital magazine will be interactive and include additional photos, videos and social networking tools like sharing content with your friends on Facebook. From the demo, it looks as though they incorporate multi-touch to the tablet enabling you to easily zoom and change pages.
