An Epic Day

My Life. Digitally Prepped, Cooked and Served Exactly as You Ordered.
 

Guten Touch: Multitouch Barcelona

This is quite simply my favorite video of 2009 (even though its from 2008).  It’s not overly stylized and the music is on point.  It’s both emotional and exciting.  I absolutely love it.  

The convergence of technology and the human experience is evolving so rapidly its almost impossible to keep up with – and the advent of multi-touch is no different.  At this point we’ve all played with, owned, or pined for an iPhone.  It has fundamentally changed the way we communicate and intereact with people and information.  We now know how intuitive things are when you reach out and touch them with your fingers.  

There are people working tirelessly to bring these technologies to the market in meaningful ways.  I can’t wait to see more of this in my everday life.

The next decade is going to be a damn exciting one…

(Thanks to Kayne West and his blog for finding this gem.)

(Sidenote: cheers to Red Bull for continuing to redefine what a brand can represent.  Their core product is a drink that loads you up with energy, yet the brand represents empowerment, innovation, and pushing .  Not to mention hell raising double backflips on motorcycles.)

TomTom for iPhone - Available Now for $99

via iphone.tomtom.com

At long last, TomTom for the iPhone. For some reason I was under the impression that you could only use this application with the new iPhone 3GS. At $99 this is a very expensive app, but one that pays itself off the first time you get yourself out of a sticky driving situation.

Not sure how much the dock is going to cost - will update once I find out.

Explore Google Chrome - Keyboard shortcuts

Google Chrome Keyboard Shortcuts

If you're like me, you like keyboard shortcuts. If I had the time, I would memorize every keyboard shortcut for Macs, PCs and all of the programs I run within each OS.

As a recent convert to the Google Chrome Browser (OS?), I'm starting the process. My goal is to take a couple each day and make them as innate as blinking.

Yahoo's Re-Branding Begins With Slick Video

via businessinsider.com

I really like this video for a variety of reasons. The first is that we finally see a bit of behind the scenes action from Yahoo! - this is the type of video we're used to from trendier companies right now (I'll link up Zynga's new video in a later post). I also like that they are in a challenger position - it's always exciting to see someone willing to put up a fight. Lastly, the cowboy hat at the end killed me.

I wish Yahoo! all the luck in the world. More competition will only make our web-searching experience better!

neuhaus laboratories T-2 Amplifier

via neuhauslabs.com

I wouldn't consider myself an audiophile, but it's not difficult to hear that the music coming out of your computer is flat and soul-less compared to a warm record or well-recorded, mint CD.

Give your ever-expanding digital music library a fresh look with the neuhaus laboratories T-2 amplifier.

Slick.

15 Years of Yahoo Home Pages, 1994-2009

via businessinsider.com

Its amazing to think back on how different the internet was 15 years ago. My family was a little late to the game (we never had Prodigy or whatever those early ISPs were called) - but I'll never forget booting up the Compaq Presario and logging into America Online.

The next 15 years will, without question, be equally as transformational.

Pike Anchorsplash Performance 2009 - High Definition

via vimeo.com

I'm still not 100% sure how this performance was done, but after watching it twice I think that their legs were outside of the sweatpants and the pants were being controlled like puppets. Crazy - I love it and could watch this 10 more times...

Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz start new venture capital

Check out this website I found at blog.pmarca.com

Raising $300M in this environment is no joke. It's safe to say we're going to see some wildly successful companies in their portfolio.

Ted's got a new gadget...

Ahhhhhhhh....

At long last. A PureDigital Mino HD. High-definition video in the palm of my hand.

Will its technology become obsolete in the next year? Probably. Will Apple start launching HD-capable iPhones and iPods soon? Probably. Do I care? Not in the least.

What's great about these little light-as-air beauties is that they are smaller than a cell phone, almost too easy to use, and priced to make
everyone an amateur videographer.

It's first test is going to be Team Elevate's 100-mile ride in San Jose this weekend. More to come...
