The New York Times has launched a new digital news site called The Local. As they say: Your Town, Your Neighborhood, Your Block. Covered by you and for you.
Found it an interesting form of User Generated Content once again.
It just makes sense, who cares more about the news in your neighborhood than your neighbors?

Found this article on PSKF and it brought up a interesting question. Now a days, in today's user generated world, What matters most to businesses? Professional critics or real ones?

Been a fan of Depeche Mode for some time, found this video on Creativty and thought it was amazing. I enjoy art that is dark, and this falls in that category.
Enjoy! or not!

Again, I apologize for been absent for some time. Been faced with the reality of trying to run a business and all the good and bad that comes with it. Sometimes, like I joke at the office, I feel I should maybe open a sandwich shop in Costa Rica or Nicaragua, or maybe start selling Mangos, Avocados and Mamonsillos.
Either way I have some new posts I found interesting and wanted to share with you.
Let me know your thoughts.
Peace.
"Might as well give up!" Was one of the statements over heard in my office today when I was showing the team this video panorama which we controlled with our Wii remote.
I installed a simple WiiFlash server app on my machine. Paired my Wii remote with my computer through Blue Tooth and was able to control the camera movements as well as play/pause with the remote through a website. Pretty bad ass.
Even the control of the camera without the Wii remote is cool.

This is an awesome video. The effect was done with double sided tape and bean bag balls thrown at them with fans.
Pretty damn cool and the song is good too.
