Deep Zoom (Seadragon) Silverlight 2 MultiScaleImages at Mix
via Scott Hanselman's Computer Zen by Scott Hanselman on March 05, 2008

You can see it live at the Hard Rock Cafe Memorabilia site. This Silverlight application includes a tiled montage of 512 many-megapixel images, some 10+megapixels, while some are stitched together to sizes upwards of 40-50 megapixels, it...

Plaxo is better than new Google Calendar sync
via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogger by Robert Scoble on March 05, 2008
Google just came out with a new sync system for Google Calendar. That’s pretty good. It will sync your calendar in Outlook up with your online calendar on Google.But if you have Plaxo I don’t see what this brings you. Plaxo syncs with more systems, not just Outlook and Google (I use Plaxo on my Mac too, so my iPhone’s calendar is always sync’ed up with my Google Calendar and Outlook.What...

New Doom Weapon Rickrolls Demons To Death [Clips]
via Kotaku by Michael McWhertor on February 25, 2008
The most powerful aftermarket Doom weapon? The voice of Rick Astley apparently, as some enterprising Doom fan has created their own tribute to the English singer-songwriter-meme source in the form of a deadly boombox that never gives up. Hey, it may be old(!!!!1) to you, but since we make it a point not to troll /b/ too often, it's news to us. Hilarious, hard hitting news. Thanks for the...

Peep - an Open Twitter Server
via Russell Beattie’s Weblog by Russell Beattie on March 01, 2008
So the stuff I was writing today in Python was more or less what I outlined a while ago while examining Twitter. The idea is to create a Jabber bot which you and friends can subscribe to which will pass messages back and forth between yourselves and Twitter, and hopefully be able to connect somehow in a P2P way with other bots as well. I just wanted to create a proof-of-concept prototype rather...

The Power of Links
via [chrisbrogan.com] by chrisbrogan on February 28, 2008
Kevin Burton’s post about how Google implemented the “nofollow” on all posted links as a baseline behavior on their new Sites implementation. (Briefly, this means, when Google’s or anyone else’s spiders go out and see what’s on a website, they don’t follow links off to other sites to see what those sites are, and index them as well). Now, I’m not a search guy, and so I’m not...
