PalmPreBlog.com The Palm Pre goes there with this video...Very Funny you win!

Above is a funny video staring Roger McNamee who is a major financial investor in Palm. In the video, McNamee has been chosen to be the official Pre spokesperson and goes on to make some completely ridiculous claims - or are they? Apparently the Pre responds to your emails before you even get them, qualifies you for a TARP bailout and causes you to lose 30 pounds. I better start camping outside the Sprint store for one tomorrow.

Palm Pre Released on June 6th. Best Buy first to eat the $100 rebate

The technology world is all a glee with the newest smart phone from the ones that started it all Palm with the Palm Pre available on the Sprint Network. Best Buy is going to be offering an instant rebate versus the mail in rebate. Very Cool.

We have been really excited to get one of these damn things as I have always been a palm fan as previously noted on the blog.

I used to have a Handspring with an Omnisky Modem allowing me to send email from my Handspring and in addition I had a foldout full size keyboard so I could type like a real man.

Yeah I was on the cutting edge...

It's pretty amazing how things have changed and one thing is clear. This thing is poised to be a hit. I'm glad that the iphone has a competitor it makes the field a bit more interesting to say the least.

I look forward to working on this new phone and getting rid of the bulkiness of the Treo.

Great Phone. But I miss the the thin phones as well. Going to get one of those as well.

Netbook + Cell Phone Financing = Additional Market Share

AT&T Applies Cell-Phone Model to Netbooks

I was recently waxing on the reality of getting a netbook versus a cell phone and BAM. AT&T decides to go in this direction. I think this is a great idea and could easily lead it's way into a full blown $500-$750 laptop that is also connected to a wireless plan.

Netbook + Cell Phone Financing = Additional Market Share
NICE MOVE!

A few years ago it was stated that computer culture used to be more about accessories, printers and software. Now it's about the computer as a peripheral to the web.

I slowly have made this transition as well. As jugglemail.com is a web app it's important that I have access 24/7. I open the following web apps so I can work virtually.

• Gmail
• Yahoo
• Typepad
• jugglemail
• twitter
• splitweet
• twitter
• twitdeck
• skype
• myspace (Not as often because it still slows my system down.)
• facebook
• linked  (Working on getting more involved here.)

With the edition of google docs I can do a lot of rough drafting and basic spreasheet work there as well.

There is a work mode that I can go into now that is essentially virtual and all online.

Congratulations to AT&T for making a strong tactical move that is forward thinking.

(Remember the trimline phone.lol)

Palm Pre Webcast: Thursday, March 12, Sprint and Palm

11:00 a.m. PST. I am excited to see when this beautiful little device will hit the market. Giving the iphone a little competition and at the same time giving us fans of the original Palm systems and users of sprint something to be excited about.

Sprint and Palm hosting Palm Pre Webcast on March 12

That being said I am a fan of Mac and of Palm and I was remiss at seeing Palm fall so far behind the pack of late. Looking very forward to this release.

UPDATE HERE IS THE PALM PRE CES EVENT =) Enjoy...

I'll Sleep When The Recession is Over...

San Diego,CA- So since I started twittering people have been getting the tone of my work environment and the little voices in my head. (O.K. not all the voices.) Now that my twitter feed is running into Facebook the comments are getting quite funny.

I have always been a late night worker. It started with performing at night but both my parents are still very active in the evening. I generally try to do the real social work, meetings, phone calls, etc. during the day and shift into task and creative mode in the evenings.

I augment this work with b-12, caffeine, water, vitamin-c and better choices in food. Since getting High Fructose Corn Syrup from being connected to my veins via soda I have found myself gaining more energy not less. So part of my productiveness in the evening has to do with the fact that I am also no longer dropping from a sugar coma at night.

The only thing I am remiss about is that if I do workout I do have to plan to sleep longer. My body just needs the recovery time.

Anyway here are some of my favorite quotes regarding working late...

Go to sleep man! What would anyone be doing up at this hour????
wait a second....never mind..... :-)

Rob Johnston at 4:38am February 2

Wow you are going to bed just as I woke up. Nocturnal perhaps?

Cynthia Gerber at 7:17am February 2

I love how your status messages and your profile picture are polar opposites! :)
Hope you got some restful sleep!

Jenny Lynn Campbell at 10:06am February 2

I have only one word for you.........

AMBIEN!

David(Me) OK here we go ready, who's still working..."Marco?"

Haha, nice one David... Polo.

I think this may end up being the title of my next book. But on a serious note. A lot of us will be doing what we can to pick up extra work whether in our own projects or side jobs. To those people I say the best thing you can do for yourself is to realize that you must take care of yourself at some point. You can't not sleep and expect to be effective the next day. If you know your going to be burning the candle at both ends at least plan for it with diet, supplements, meditation, catching up on your sleep and most importantly let the people know that are working and close to you to keep an eye on you.

Because this is becoming the norm, the people closest to us should be able to cut us some slack for communication at times. I find that when I am tired I lose my patience and my ability to rephrase dialogue.

That's it, I am writing this at 3:41 a.m. for the record and Dan Leavitt is here with me editing a video. The Work Ethic is back Baby!!!! ARGH!

Netflix Streaming is starting to gain in popularity... No Suprise just try it.

Netflix Streaming is gaining popularity.

Netflix CEO says streaming video gaining on old-fashioned DVDs

I have recently been watching the Numbers past seasons myself. I look forward to more current movies being streamed. Right now new releases take a while to get to STREAM mode. The next shift will be to see more and more current releases going to stream right away.

I don't see an issue with this as it's traceable...

Netflix software directly imbedded into my LG HDTV...Well it's about damn time lol

Netflix and LG will be release HDTV sets that will sidestep the box needed as the streaming software will be directly included in the Televsion sets. I watch Netflix a lot online and I am extremely happy with it. This transition from having a box connected to the internet allowing me to stream video into my TV to actually having the software in the TV makes a ton of sense. Granted there are still a lot of factors to weigh it's easy to see this as part of the future of Home entertainment.

Netflix bypasses US mail, set-top box with new HDTVs from LG

I watch a lot of netflix and hulu.com while I am blogging, writing and doing short form tasks. So I really dig netflix, hulu, etc. I do find that Television is easier to listen to and watch cursorarily versus film which is shot in a way that it's usually important to see all the scenes.

However, in multitasking I find that I can now rewatch something that Ive half watched and really enjoy it. Something I am not accostomed to if I watch it directly, I have a tendancy not to watch things twice. A habit that I am trying to change again as I get back into editing and shooting etc.

Antikythera computer built and working 2,000 years later...take that Vista lol

The original Antikythera computer was found on board a ship broken and fused together dated back to 150 B.C. technology like this would not be seen for another 1,000 years.

World's First Computer Rebuilt, Rebooted After 2,000 Years

Several attempts have been made using the 81 parts found via 3d modeling, xray etc. to recreatea and reconstruct  a working Antikythera with no success.

Oddly enough an amateur Michael Wright, a former curator at the Science Museum in London, has built a replica of the Antikythera, which works perfectly. COOL!

"A dial on the faceplace featured the Greek zodiac and an Egyptian calendar; pointers showed the location of the moon and the five planets known at the time. On the machine's back, an upper dial shows a 19-year calendar (matching the solunar cycle) and the timing of upcoming Olympic games. A lower dial shows a 76-year cycle (when the Olympic and solunar cycles coincide) and indicates the months in which lunar and solar eclipses can be expected."

-from the Article on Wired.com by By Charlie Sorrel

Brings up a ongoing question though. If we were so ahead of ourselves technology wise 2,000 years ago, what happened? Was technology the victim of those in powe?. Could be, I mean look how long it's taken us to get to green and fuel efficient cars.

CBS.com Viewing Rooms are cool but...

Watching NCIS on CBS.com rigt now while blogging.

One of the new toys on CBS.com is the viewing rooms where you can watch online and comment and talk with other viewers. I have tried to do this but it seems a little computer heavy and more importantly I get thrown into the middle of the show. So I usually get out of it because I would rather watch from the beginning.

If there is a way to see a countdown until a show is played that would make it more user friendly. I love the idea but I still have not really played with it.

Has anyone used this. (By the way the cat and the mustache guy seem to always be in a room.)

Windpipe Grown from Stem Cells Transplated: Europe is way ahead of the US right now.

In much of this work, Europe is leading the way. "By putting our brains together," says Prof Martin, "we are ahead of the US in the clinical application of stem cells."

30 Year Old Claudio Castillo is the pioneering patient that has received a windpipe grown from Stem Cells. This seems like the stuff of Science Fiction until you realize how far the UK has taken this medical technology. Read this article and you'll wonder as I did, "Why is this happening in the UK and not in the US?" It feels as though we only see this on Sci-Fi.

Regardless this is a landmark in medical history and a glimpse of part of the future that is already here. Hopefully soon the rest the world will be looking at us and saying the same things regarding energy technology.
