The Technology of Sticky Notes

September 12, 2008 1:12 pm

Sometimes, folks help you see traditional technology in an entirely new way. I’ve been shown the possibilities of sticky notes in ways I never thought possible.

EepyBird’s Sticky Note experiment from Eepybird on Vimeo.

Keeping in mind that these are the same folks who brought us dancing fountains crafted from Diet Coke and Mentos, I have to say I’m seriously impressed by the work, here. I can’t even imagine what they might do with a good stapler…

I like Craig Ferguson and the Late Late Show

September 11, 2008 3:19 pm

My schedule means that much of my television-watching time is late at night. Of all the folks I see on television, I have to admit to enjoying Craig Ferguson the most. In many ways he reminds me of the Tom Snyder back in the ’70s — sometimes funny, sometimes serious, but almost always worth giving a bit of thought and attention.

Last night he had a wonderful monologue on the importance of politics and voting. Coming immediately after David Letterman’s interview of Barack Obama,

it was a wonderful statement on why all the political stuff matter so very much.

Together, this is the sort of conversation and commentary we could use more of. At least, that’s what I think.

Update: YouTube reference to the Barack Obama interview was revised because the first video I linked to disappeared.. Revised 9/15/08
