6 pieces of new media fiction, each beginning with a line from one of 6 classic novels , i.e. Alice in Wonderland. (via 3qd )
My fave, I think, is the Google Maps-based “The 21 Steps” (below) but that may say more about my interest in Google Maps as an avant garde medium than the story itself, which is, IMHO, overly explanatory about new media, i.e. defining what a memory stick is, as if people don’t know….
Still, I enjoyed the stories, even if most were more interesting experiments than literary successes. “Hard Times” is sort of like those cheeky-cutesy illustrated pages of states you find in Wired or GOOD magazine, except less cheeky and cutesy.”Slice” is blog based — two blogs actually, one written by a girl and the other by her parents, both about a hare-haunted house.

Some time ago Google introduced voice search for the iPhone; now, Vlingo ups the ante with an application that allows you to search the web, use Google Maps, dial phone numbers as well as update your Twitter and Facebook account, all by speaking into the phone.

Bike trails in San Jose, CA, on OpenStreetMap
As
a kid I used to periodically raid my grandparents’ stash of National
Geographics. Not for photos of women in scant native dress, but for the
way cool maps, with which I would wallpaper my room.
Ironically,
the maps did eventually give way to Paulina Porizkova posters, and the
years have also seen them outmoded -- in function, if not aesthetically
-- by amazing advances in cartography. (If you haven’t seen it, t... more
Got some RIM stock (Nasdaq: RIMM) yesterday, as I saw some weakness have already priced into its current price. At P/E (ttm) of about 12, and projected single digit growth in 2009 (after serveral years hyper growth), the expectation on the stock is really low these days. At the same time, the newly released Bold (AT&T) and Storm (Verizon) should give them some boost, to counter the attack from 3G Apple iPhone (AT&T) and G Phone (T-Mobile). RIM released its preliminary 3Q results and here is ... more

A Fairy Tale?: Chicken Dinner Politics
Once upon a time, in a land (actually it was more like a "ward" but who’s telling this tale, you or me?) that was located three miles from a crooked river, there lived a ruler named "Queen Annie." The queen had ruled over the ward for... more

Death of the water heater, as we know it , cuz a solar water bill in the state assembly would offer millions in incentives to install solar water heaters. “A residential solar water heating system can cost $4,000 to $6,000, but with the incentives proposed under Huffman’s bill, consumers could recoup their costs in le... more

If Santa Monica seems to you a crunchy city — well then the hippies living on Palisades Ave. must’ve invested in Whole Foods way back when cuz their houses are huge now.
