    this video scares the crap out of me… my relaxing weekend was momentarily interrupted by this ghastly display of j-consumerism.

    Ron Paul at Google - A Great Interview Where You Find Out His Beliefs on Key Issues

    I found this Ron Paul video while I was stumbling… it is quite good actually, if you want to know how he stands on major issues, like the Iraq war, gay marriage (he is for it) I guess gay marriage sounds pretty ridiculous as a major issue, but unfortunately in our infotainment society it is a major contender. As you will see, he is frank and direct on all the issues that are discussed. I admire his candor.

    Anyway, enough introduction, at least watch part of the video and then decide if you see this man, Ron Paul, as our next president or not. I personally think that like it or not, another Clinton will be in the White House.

    Five Star Prison Video - This Is Better Than Some Hotels I Have Stayed In

    Since the US has the most inmates in the world, maybe they should start building more aesthetically pleasing facilities as well.

    Darpa Urban Challenge - Videos of Vehicles Driving Themselves

    Team Mexico’s youtube video:

    It appears that according to Robert Scoble’s blog, CMU came in first, finishing a full half hour ahead of the next best team which ended up being the Stanford team.

    Hope you enjoyed the videos….
    I wonder when this will become a reality for the everyday commute to work. I think these will first see widespread use as a military vehicle used for refueling or cargo transport in dangerous arenas.

    Google to show off mobile plans, will they partner with SKYPE?

    update: according to Mashable.com,

    The head of Google in Spain and Portugal has confirmed that Google is working on a mobile phone. “Some of the time the engineers are dedicated to developing a mobile phone,” Isabel Aguilera is quoted as saying on the Spanish-news Web site Noticias.com

    From the looks of it, Google will be releasing details of its Gphone very soon… I just hope that SKYPE will we able to be utilized on it in some shape or form…

    NEW YORK - Google will unveil its mobile strategy today, including a phone operating system and a broad alliance with multiple wireless service providers and handset vendors, people familiar with the matter said.

    I confess, I use SKYPE, I even have paid for a years worth of service… how can you beat 30 USD per year for unlimited calling around the world to anyone?

    The only problem I find with SKYPE right now is the usability with my built in hi-def microphone on my VAIO. I need to purchase a headset or maybe the new WIFI phones that many companies are offering now that I can use as a home phone over my WIFI network. (great review of a SKYPE phone via TFTS)

    I believe Google is going down the right path by unveiling their phone on multiple carriers and networks at once, I just wonder what the price will be. Once someone finds out please send me a twit. (constantskeptic on twitter)
    Video Review of one of the phones:

    Does anyone have any poignant predictions about the Gphone?

    First Trials For Sketchcasting… Verdict Is Still Out For Me…

    Here is an example of how you can record yourself drawing:

    I am not sure what to think of this sketchcasting thing… maybe I will add audio to the next one.

    I see this as something that can spice up blog posts and possibly become an art form.

    Oh yeah, happy halloween!

    Usually nikon digital cameras are used by professionals. For security camera systems, the most popular choice is the olympus camera. Nowadays people are using the kodak camera too.
