Found the Staff Day Video from last year. Good times! http://youtube.com/watch?v=egTR39mwse0

Just tag it.

Technorati was a bit wild. Speaking of wild, I saw a mashup of "Where the Wild Things Are" and I actually knew what a mashup was. Yeah! I Learned about tags and looked at top tags this hour and top tags overall. Similiar words as you find on magazine covers.

Shared reading lists and tagging explored.

The Del.icio.us bookmarking tutorial was interesting. I was most interested in the "magic middle" and how you can use these sights to filter your information.

caffeinated thoughts

iPIX Movies is an amazing technology that uses a two headed fish eye camera lens to provide a 360 view. Creator, Steve Zimmeran developed the technology while working on a project to give robots human vision. Developed in 1986 it was expected to revolutionize movies and internet possibilities. So far it has largely been used for online tours like the ones you see on Real Estate sites. It was also used for President Bush's 2003 State of the Union Address. Due to financial problems the founding company was not able to develop the product to it's full potential. Sony recently purchased 28 patents for IPIX. It will be interesting to see what they do with the technology. I think this technology could be used to make Survivorman's job easier.
