myfeedz – Adobe Labs

Adobe has entered the “lets get it on” (read “social”) rss aggregator fray with myfeedz – “A Social Newspaper”. To quote Adobe, “myFeedz uses artificial intelligence techniques to show you personalized news about topics you are interested in.” I am going to give myfeedz a fair chance to get social with me for a few [...]

Flexing it…

This was reportedly built by Adobe in 4 weeks flat..no kidding! Says something about the platform of choice which of course is Flex. Very well designed and built App. And the subject at hand is bikes!! http://www.amgentourofcalifornia.com/docroot/tourtracker2/index.html Came across this separately on riapedia.com forta.com

Back at wordpress

I’m back on wordpress with my tail between my legs. Vox is nice but it’s not for the blogger who though incompetent still wants a blogroll, metrics, pingbacks…the list of features that vox is missing can go on.

Just signed up with Tabblo

I will be posting a detailed review of tabblo a few days later. I like certain features like the fact that there is a picasa plugin – however the implementation of the plugin sucks…more details later… My first tabblo with a few sample pictures taken at the Osellus New Year ’07 Party in Jan: See [...]

A Rake; A Shroud

I find it difficult to start things. This is no different. So, I have decided to continue things. I am going to pretend I have been blogging for ever and just hope that this works where 5 previous attempts at regular meaningful blogging didn’t. I’m no sage, luminary or prophet – of these I had [...]
