A few years back - I blogged about an open source tool - which did much of what a $75,000 high end compositing program does.
It’s called JahShaka.
Well they’ve gotten funding and they’re on a tear. V2 is ready, a social network that complements the tool is on it’s way and I’m helping.

Needless to [...]

Not sure if this has anything to do with anything, but I’ve been vocal in my displeasure at what one of the most respected, important people in our world has been doing with tags.
Dave Weinberger had been calling his tags - Technorati Tags - which is a blatant ad for our much beloved data mining [...]

I’ll throw in a Kevin Marks and raise yah a Niall Kennedy.
I bet $100M even. It’s such a round number.

Rebecca Eisenberg and Curtis Smolar just had her second kid - Avi. You can always tells when a couple are about to have their kid - they go off the radar.
Two of my favorite people - Congrats to Rebecca and Curtis.

I originally reported on Orb as a sexy Home Media server platform, and I kept my mouth shut whenI heard about their announcement of going open source and their Sprint deal. I even reported when Russ Beattie started to grok them.
Orb has lots of fans - and this one could just make it!
Now I’m [...]

Remember Nokia’s Lifeblog?
I got a Nokia 6630 - just so I could play with this early stage software - from Charlie Schick of Nokia. But I haven’t really been able to get any value out of the software, as it seems kind of function lacking to me. All I can think of is all [...]

So here’s a synopsis of some of the conversation that’s been going on - via the ReBlog mail list. I mean ReBlg.
