10 years after the first image stored longitude and latitude site started flickr finally ads this feature.
There have been solutions around for a long time to combine the path from a GPS with the timestamp in the EXIF header of the images.
I’d say we have used about 10% of all GPS applications that make sense. Lots of fun to be had with these two floating point numbers that put anything on the map.
Legend has it that Pablo Picasso was sketching in the park when a bold woman approached him.
“It’s you — Picasso, the great artist! Oh, you must sketch my portrait! I insist.�
So Picasso agreed to sketch her. After studying her for a moment, he used a single pencil stroke to create her portrait. He handed the women his work of art.
“It’s perfect!� she gushed. “You managed to capture my essence with one stroke, in one moment. Thank you! How much do I owe you?�
“Five thousand dollars,� the artist replied.
“B-b-but, what?� the woman sputtered. “How could you want so much money for this picture? It only took you a second to draw it!�
To which Picasso responded, “Madame, it took me my entire life.�
Nice story, probably not true. Who cares.

Including some of my own ramblings if you scroll down.
A rumor about !!M a Nintendo IM applications it seems.
The DS Lite is in high demand with my son and daughter. Nintendogs is my daughters first game, and she does like it allot.
My son came home yesterday talking about GTA San Andreas that he played at a friends house. Good thing that he still tells me these things. Bad thing that his friends parents let an ten year old have a game that is rather gruesome.
It is interesting how the DS Lite is an instant favorite while the PSP was ‘neat’ but never got any following in my family. The actual hardware is probably superior on the PSP, yet the DS Lite is the device they care about.

untried, yet interesting
better spotlight interface. We need one. And we would need a ‘Finder’ that is not actually a ‘Looser’ like the current one.
No doesn’t loose files, since it’s not it’s job to keep them. But it’s a pretty bad interface if you ask me. Slow, unintuitive and in total lack of any feature. Rewrite! It feels like 10.0. Without the hope.
there are people connecting their red camera to Sony PS3s running Windows Vista
Red the camera
it’s internals would perform a couple of miracles if they would deliver on their specifications.
But the redesign is about the case. Great. Keep updating the case. The eletronics are the easy bit. Sure.
Sony PS3
If you make a 1000 chips maybe only 100 work. That’s called yield. In the end it comes down to cost. If you have a very complex chip this can be very tricky to manage. The Cell chips in the PS3 were announced to run at 3.5 Ghz. Rumors see them at 2.8Ghz right now. Which also would help with the heat problems the console will have.
Vista
Some kids have to help Microsoft distributing the OS via Bittorrent. Innovation from the outside.
Robert Scoble used to be ‘the Microsoft Blogger’ and got allot of attention. Technorati ranks him at #22. That probably will fade fast. How long till his tag as the ‘ex Microsoft Blogger’ fades? Much of his attraction was, that he was this voice from within the dark star. Now he is out here with us. In the dust of the milky way. And there are -by god- enough voices out there.
an interesting mashup that will rise to internet fame without a doubt.
the credits mention Dan and Dale Kocevski. No idea if they are indeed brothers.
