Cheers to you, Pacific Northwest

Thinking about the combination of the new Xbox Project Natal Lionhead software, which creates a virtual companion for you, along with the projects in recognizing subvocalizations, which allow you to interact with computers without speaking out loud. The result will be an imaginary friend who can read your thoughts.

I’m not letting my child do that.

Kind of bogus that voicemails expire on the iPhone (all of AT&T phones?). I’m the kind of person that will normally keep a funny voicemail for months. NBD.

Wow, cool box.

“ Homeless man who raises his hand every time he sees someone explains: Every time I go sieg heil sieg heil sieg heil, it’s exorcism. I’m sending the spirits from inside you down to the bottom of the Willamette and the giant squid eats you and spits you back up and chops you up into little pieces and serves you for lunch. - Overheard by ap

Where Videos Come From by Karen and Dan

Get the inside scoop on how we process, store, and serve videos from Vimeo. Super exclusive here, folks. We really let some secrets out with this one. Please don’t tell anyone.

“ It is easier to start wars than to end them. It is easier to blame others than to look inward; to see what is different about someone than to find the things we share. But we should choose the right path, not just the easy path. There is also one rule that lies at the heart of every religion - that we do unto others as we would have them do unto us. This truth transcends nations and peoples - a belief that isn’t new; that isn’t black or white or brown; that isn’t Christian, or Muslim or Jew. It’s a belief that pulsed in the cradle of civilization, and that still beats in the heart of billions. It’s a faith in other people, and it’s what brought me here today. We have the power to make the world we seek, but only if we have the courage to make a new beginning, keeping in mind what has been written. The Holy Koran tells us, “O mankind! We have created you male and a female; and we have made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another.” The Talmud tells us: “The whole of the Torah is for the purpose of promoting peace.” The Holy Bible tells us, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” The people of the world can live together in peace. We know that is God’s vision. Now, that must be our work here on Earth.

Assuming the role of President means assuming responsibility for a government largely gone awry, which in turn means there is plenty to criticize about how you’re handling the job. I still think this guy has a good heart.
