When Will Your Bus Arrive?


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

During our open mic session at Gnomedex last August, Bill Corrigan came on stage to talk about OneBusAway. This website was built by some students at the University of Washington who were tired of always missing their bus. You can search for bus stops near your location, and it will give you not only where they are… but also tell you how much time until the next one departs! Never miss your bus again!

During the Gnomedex conference this past summer, we held an open mic session. Anyone in the audience could get up on stage and share their favorite website, tips, trick and resources. In this short video clip, we were all reminded of how simple it is to secure our Gmail when viewing it from a public location (such as a conference or an Internet cafe).

YouTube Captions and Rentals

Oops. I was messing around with a new YouTube “Rentals” feature for Partners – which had unforeseen consequences. As soon as I realized my mistake, I undid as much as I could on the affected video. Everything should be back to normal now, save not being able to make that video (in question) visible in countries beyond the USA. I’m waiting to hear back from my YouTube liaison.

First, if you have any questions for the Windows Phone 7 Series team, I’d be more than happy to ask on your behalf (as I do live around the corner from Redmond’s campus and will be meeting with the team again at some point in the future). Post a comment and/or video response.

iMac Skins – Black, Pink, or Red


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

No, Apple hasn’t released a new “Black iMac.” This is the same ol’ silver iMac with a shiny new black bezel clip-on. Works perfectly, too – from the front or the side. IMHO, this is a must-have for all iMacs. I’m not sure why Speck isn’t making the black one more readily available? Maybe they’re working on an updated model?

Live Video iPhone

I recently started broadcasting my live stream in SD widescreen (720×404). Once I made the switch via the Ustream Producer software, the live feed was no longer available in the current build of Ustream’s mobile applications. Moreover, I’ve been able to start pushing out a live video feed which doesn’t require Flash! This particular HTML5 version of my feed is truly of much higher quality than its Flash counterpart (and you can do a side-by-side comparison of the two in Safari on the Mac at the moment).
