Let’s Rock

Joe Tan — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 19:24:44 +0000

New Apple iPods coming next Tuesday. Maybe it’ll be finally time for me to get that iPod Touch and duct tape a cheapo pay-as-you-go phone to get my own iPhone.

Google Chrome

Google’s new web browser, based on the same rendering engine as Apple’s Safari. Kind of interesting, if only for the fact that I thought Google employed several Mozilla developers.

Depth of Field in a Flash

Neat technique that can easily produce 3D textures from just two photographs, one with flash and one without.

Video Enhancements

Amazing and impressive technique which uses static photos to seamlessly enhance and alter videos.

What Do I Really Do

So… what do I do? I guess I mostly design web pages. And no I will not fix your computer.

Olympic Fail

Looks like something crashed in the Bird’s Nest stadium. The BSOD shows up just as the Olympian Li Ning was rounding the the top of the Bird’s Nest torch-lighting spectical.

Unbreakable

Ever have one of those times days when you just want to split a watermelon but only have an umbrella handy?

Special People

Here’s what Google thinks about special people. [mirror]

ClearPlay

Joe Tan — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 20:59:57 +0000

A new DVD player that automagically skips objectional content for a safe family viewing experience. I guess this is for people who want to watch movies with objectional content with their kids.

Training with Segways

Joe Tan — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 04:22:40 +0000

Apparently the Chinese anti-terrorism task force patrolling during the Olympics are going to be equipped with Segways. Neat… but wouldn’t being on foot be about the same or better tactically?
