 congrats to the jackie ronson of politics. now we just gotta keep this guy alive!
been having fun interacting with all these people i haven’t pinged in over a year. and what a year it’s been!: onone.com, itimes.com, bellvideostore.ca, gtchannel.com, socialworld.com, 2your2retire.net, portokalada.com - great to catch up with so many. of course most of them won’t go into plurk - but that’s ok. they were guinea pigs in my experit.
turns out grouply has more networks than ning. this isn’t surprising given that grouply is built to work with yahoo groups. this says many things:
   - just how badly yahoo dropped the ball when it s to y! groups
- that the issue of how many networks - really isn’t relevant
-Â as the ceo of grouply points out in the comts, they’re building on existing networks, while ning is creating new ones.
-Â this game ain’t over with - yet.
man! its as if something happened to the yahoo sales force and they finally figured out they have to hussle to keep their jobs. i wonder what happened that caused this? :-) all of a sudden they’re cutting deals, leveraging their 150m users. you’d think they were under siege or that their boss has been told to step down. hmmmmm yah think?
now that we have the yahoo address book apis we can add that to our list of systems we can support. i just hope they’re two-way.
turns out the fbopen facebook source code requires that anyone who uses the code, must also open source their code. it’s called the cpal license. stay away is my advice.
vintage hendrix and marley performances soon available - for purchase. sorry got that already via…..
the battle over the high-end chip market - continues. nvidia vs ati
shawn fanning gets over - again. i guess starting companies for shawn is a little different than for me.
i wonder if things will change for spiralfrog now that they’ve signed a distribution deal with - emi. in the old days this was a sign of success - nowadays it may be a deathknell.

lg dare snapped in the wild

i was never a huge fan of the lg prada, mainly because i think slapping fashion brands onto phones is a stupid way to add a few hundred (or thousand) bucks to the price tag.
that said, i’m liking the look of the prada-esque lg dare. they’ve rounded out the rough edges, and overhauled the ui. under the dare’s 240×400 touchscreen, lg will be packin’ in a 3.5mm headphone jack (whoo! no adapters!), a 3.2mp autofocus camera, microsdhc support, and an accelerometer.
it’s looking pretty good so far, like the offspring of the lg prada and the lg viewty. expect this sleek little lovechild to hit sometime in july.

this new release will also be carrying a couple of new features specific to dhewg port (quoting the changelog):
- the wii port is now official
- updated icon
- the savegame issue is fixed (was not wii port specific)
