- No pants dance in NYC
Yes. Really. I am sure it brought smiles to New Yorkers riding the subway.
- David Lynch: not a fan of small screens
I think that if David Lynch knew how I watched movies he would well… lynch me. I watch movies on a tiny screen, while answering email and sometimes catching up on my reading (not at the same time now!). Small screens are not evil, they are fantastically portable. To be honest if it was not for the small screens I wouldn’t be watching anything. The cinematic experience is way way way overrated. Mr. Lynch is extending his cinematic control into your living room. Great little sound byte here. It’s a good laugh
- To summon the past and the future
La Jetée by Chris Marker has to be one of my favourite movies – that and
Alphaville by Jean-Luc Godard. “Ah to summon the past and future to the aid of
the present.”

(8) Often, when a thing is just begun, it is impossible to know how it will end, much less whether society will acknowledge it. If you want success you must make every possible effort, you must keep a cool head and resist anxiety. If you work calmly and steadfastly, you will attain happiness. But if you are constantly focused on the fruits of success, the loneliness will be unbearable; you’ll be unable to stay the course and will end up empty-handed. During these times we should remember that ________.
a) Good things all come at a price.
b) No pain, no gain.
c) If winter is here, can spring be far behind?
d) The road is winding, but the future is bright.

- NextStep
I remember NextStep from NeXT. Via Alec: Luca Fillighedu has found a 15 year old video on YouTube of Steve Jobs demonstrating NextStep. Amazing!
- Web 2.0
Mark Evans (from the National Post) thinks that the web 2.0 is so over. I guess he saw the Sun ad too!
- 4camp
Randy wants to put together 4camp. Basically in his own words:
Unlike BarCamp, 4camp would be held at a real campground (w/ Wifi, of course) in the Toronto area. Unlike BarCamp, it’s not about discussing and presenting existing ideas, but rather inventing new ideas. 4camp would be for entrepreneurs and startup junkies, who aren’t currently consumed by an existing startup. 4camp is for developers and other geeks, who want to get together and start something new, on the Web or whatever, it doesn’t really matter.Well although I am an entrepreneur who is totally consumed by visual search I still give 4camp the thumbs up. Count me in. And for an added bonus let’s do it somewhere where I can get some trail runs in… and that will be heaven. Geeks and runs!
- Sweaty Betty
With such a scarily busy schedule there is no time anymore to sit down an enjoy an absinthe. Well, this Saturday my good friend Adriana (Adriana where the hell is your blog!) and I are making time. Making time to see you all, say hello, catch up and just enjoy the good old fashioned patio hangout. I hope you will forgive me for not staying in touch and being the distant friend I have become… Such are the times when the only priority is your company. But I want to see you all so come on down to Sweaty Betty.This is not a geek fest so don’t be scared. All welcome. Come and hang out with friends. I promise we won’t be just blabing about image search. If you catch me talking work I will buy you a drink! See you all on Saturday. Details below.
