I was trying to watch a short clip on YouTube today … this one, in fact. Unfortunately, it stuttered and stumbled like an aged man on a cobblestone path. The problem? 1080P, streamed over an internet originally designed for bare, simple, small … text. The solution, of course, is simple: take it down a...

One thing I’ve been looking for lately is video footage of Alexander Ovechkin’s lying-on-the-ice backhander goal from last year. We’re talking ice-hockey, in case you’re wondering....

Just watching Steve Jobs’ WWDC keynote right now … The demo of making your own widgets with Webclip is amazing – I can only imagine what the possibilities are going to be. This is RSS-like but with formatting like the original website … and very fine-grained. Cool!
