unraveled

October 2005 Notes Archive

Permanent link Mobile Monday comes to London. The first event will by 7 November at Vodafone! Response to this has been massive so if you want to attend, sign up to the mailing list (in the aforementioned Yahoo! Group) and RSVP pronto! Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

Permanent link Janine’s award winning short film, Torque, is now available to view online at Hurluberlu Films. If you have six minutes and a broadband connection, please have a look!

Permanent link unraveled furl, my Furl feed, is no longer active. It’s been replaced by unraveled web, a feed of my My Web 2.0 archive. Please update your news readers.

Permanent link Praise for simple tools that do one thing really well: BURL is like TinyURL, in that it shortens long URLs but it also leaves some context so the recipient of your slick new URL knows what the hell you’re pointing them at. Nice work Andrew Ferguson!

Permanent link Any Pandora users out there? If yes, look up my shared stations using . I currently have three which I’m constantly refining: Work Lounge, Club Box and Folktronica.

Permanent link Has anyone noticed that Google Desktop automatically changes the default search in Firefox from whatever it’s set on to Google? I expect more than that from Google. And since I recently changed my default search to Yahoo!, it’s reason enough for me to remove Google from the search list in Firefox.

Permanent link I just tried Goowy Mail, a Flash based email client and was more than unimpressed. Slow and non-innovative, it features a lame copy of the OSX Dock and has very little new ideas to offer email management.

Permanent link Metaphorical.net is a fine collection of “interactive studies and strange thoughts by William Ngan.” Enjoy.

Permanent link I’ve been a happy user of NetNewsWire lite for a long time. I never went to NetNewsWire because I couldn’t justify benefits for the money. That was until I realized that it syncs with Bloglines, the slick browser based newsreader. Now I can read at home and at work and never worry about what I’ve already read.

Permanent link Remember that sweet UI that was featured in Minority Report? Well someone has gone and done something similar with an OSX app. Check out this demo of TactaDraw used with the TactaPad, “The Tactile, Immersive, Two-Handed Input Device.”
