i love bbgadgets so.

does he go by the nickname dan? everything i find calls him "aaron j. draplin".

@ #43, I second all of your comments. I've steered clear of all the fancy "voice-recorder" specific devices, just because it seems like they're overcharging for what they're putting in them. 256mb of memory? seriously? in 2008?

I've been using a sandisk sansa clip for my interviews, just because I can walk and talk with them. the mic is hilariously low quality, but it's still fine at getting voice, and being able to clip in on my shirt or pocket and move around with the subject, without holding a device in the air like a toolbag has been AWEsome. having the device disappear is essential. not even a mic with a wire is as discreet.

plus they always say, "good god that thing is tiny."

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for posting this. I have been trying to figure out what the hell I watched in Library way back when for YEARS, but I never knew it was just a Mississippi thing! God bless my home state.

Damn. This is so awesome.

Now if I can just find the claymation "frog and toad" videos from PBS.

Joel!

x10 for life.

best pequeña yet.

these look just like the cool bracelets from dynomighty. i can and have played with those things for hours and HOURS. it feels like they have a memory, or that they're trying to understand what you want them to do.

those are my thoughts exactly. i fail to understand the necessity for a sub-notebook thingy with XP or vista on it, not even saying anything bad about XP or vista. They and OS X would feel almost bulky on a little guy like that.

I imagine the pitch of this idea to the white house went a bit like,
"let's put American research back into America!"
"SOLD! there's a man that talks sense!"

the 2nd one definitely looks like he's being yanked. watch his handler after he makes the first pass.

y'know what i really want to do?

Ever since i saw sir jobs pop out his presentation slide of the motherboard, and declared "there's a whole mac on that thing" I've been pondering. Then he put the graphic of the motherboard next to pencil for comparison, all I can think is about how to hack one of those wee boards into a truly ultraportable mac.

Since it's all so self-contained, with the cooling systems being it's own little add-on, it can't be that insane to do. Could it? I'm not dropping almost 2 large to find out though.

girl doesn't even have to pay for college.
damn you again, europe.

i went to quite a few good dance parties in those tunnels.
