Wow, Google has done it again. Street view concept but inside a bunch of major art museums. The Google Art Project.

I must admit I didn’t pay any attention to the recent news about an AI bot playing Jeopardy against humans. In case you didn’t either, that’s what happened.

My early-days computer geek buddy and former classmate Eli did a TED talk. It’s relevant if you use the internet at all, and quite good. He also was a founder of MoveOn.org.

This Gimme Bar idea is pretty great. I can’t help but immediately wonder two things:
- There must be some sort of open standard for this concept, right? The way hCard and hCal represent information, is there something like an hFavorite?

These two things aside, it looks like a good way to pick fruit as you wander around the internet forest.
Antigravity becomes real. Science is finally catching up to the Jetsons! Amazing.

Little Printer is will be a tiny box, wired to the internets, that can print up a variety of nicely designed information briefs. Daily digest, social plans, what have you. Looks interesting, except for the wasteful nature of printing- who doesn’t love a crossword though? via Michael.
