Just write. it says. It stands back, fading first to boxes…, then to nothing.

It’s a bit unnerving at first.

Wiggle the mouse/stylus or touch the touch-pad/screen and we’re brought back to the boxes UI.

Uh huh, I see. Start typing again, cursor, everything gone.

Fullscreen mode may be best new WordPress feature by removing everything.

Building 43 – First Interview with Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s founder and CEO. Thought I saw someone surfing work stuff when they should have been on Facebook :) Whoever was flying the RC helicopter during the interview is likely out of work though.

WolframAlpha

A new web service named WolframAlpha went live today. The live launch of the self-titled computational knowledge engine had some hiccups but it seems to be up and running now. Somewhere between Wikipedia and Google, with cool charts and visualizations, I can tell I’ll be using this a lot. WolframAlpha leans heavily to scientific data and facts which is mostly why you’d choose to use this but dates, music, and colour are all innovations in search. You can learn more in the faq.

While it’s no Google-killer yet, it’s just in it’s infancy, it does some things today that make Google’s search look useless. It’s also a different look on things and that’s refreshing.

Just one example of how a query might differ;
Google Search
vs.
WolframAlpha

WolframAlpha search for "Google"

Digg bar and TinyURL shorten things up.

Twitter on Late Night

Andrew — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 07:23:16 +0000

Did you catch Jimmy Fallon tonight? (wed. mar. 11 09) The new late night host seems to be appealing to a much younger demographic than Conan. He has a hipper house band, he Roots, and sports a Mac on his desk. Jimmy is also participating in the latest social internet craze Twitter and just started something; The Bryan Brinkman Experiment. Jimmy, along with tonights guests Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht are asking everyone to follow a random guest of the show. He started with 7 followers is growing huge. Does it matter that I got in early around 1100 followers?

The Bryan Brinkman Experiment

A new domain for me to stream all over.

I’ve decided to bottle the noise. See what this becomes, but no promises.
