Epiphany Suit - Augmented Reality/Technological Singularity

Which augmented reality video goggles should I buy?

2011-08-10T10:46:00.000-07:00

I am very interested in finding a viable solution to seeing and recording my life through video eye glasses or goggles. Which augmented reality video goggles should I buy? Hmmmm. Let's see. I should look at the Technology Singularity Facebook group that I am a member of, and see if there's any existing discussion regarding goggles.

What is "Xyzzy"?

2010-10-18T04:00:00.000-07:00

I often use xyzzy instead of using xyz, abc, and the like. This tends to make it easier to find later.

Wikipedia says that,

"Xyzzy is a magic word from the Colossal Cave Adventure computer game. In computing, the word is sometimes used as a metasyntactic variable or as a video", Xyzzy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I just found that there's an "Xyzzy.com" website, where "You are in a twisty maze of passages, all alike."

Want to play Adventure?

I do! :-)

I think I'll play for a while :-)

Enhance your Google Search with CustomizeGoogle, Feedly and SearchCloudlet

Notice, in this image, three sections, that occur before the actual results of the Google search...

The first section, "Try your search on" is from an add-on called CustomizeGoogle*.
The second, "Explore Feedly for...", is from an add-on called Feedly.
The third section, "Cloudlet..." is from an add-on called SearchCloudlet.

* The specific Preference is called "Add links to other web search sites", for Google Web Search, and "Add links to other image/photo/art search sites" for Google Images. And similar things for Google News, Video, and Blogs.

TIP: Drag a webpage's URL from Location bar, or from a tab, within a browser or amongst browsers

2009-03-06T21:16:00.000-08:00

You can click on the icon of a webpage that you are visting, to another browser, or open it in a new tab by dragging it to the Tab area.

This works within* a browser, and amongst** browsers! Moreover, you can also drag them amongst browsers, e.g. Firefox, Flock, Safari, SeaMonkey Navigator, and even IE (Internet Explorer) - but, not Opera.

Vernor Vinge's novel A Deepness in the Sky - UNIX epoch

I had forgotten that, "Vernor Vinge's novel A Deepness in the Sky describes a space-faring trading civilization tens of thousands of years (hundreds of gigaseconds) in the future that apparently still uses the Unix epoch" (Wikipedia)

Cool.

Stop neglecting reading multiple email accounts - Use Gmail to send from your other email addresses - Adding a custom 'From' address

2009-02-09T12:38:00.001-08:00

Q: Do you have multiple email addresses? Do you ever neglect reading any of your email addresses?

A: If you answered yes to either question, you can benefit from using Gmail to combine* all of your email addresses to a single Gmail account *AND* be able to send "as" any of your email addresses. After you've set up your email accounts within Gmail, you can then send as any of your email addresses, from the Compose window, use the "From" pop-up field to select the desired account**.

*Google (Gmail Help) explains how to do this with "Adding a custom 'From' address", for example, start by going to Settings–>Accounts - under "Send mail as," click " Add another email address you own"

Gmail - Add another email address you own - example

** for example:

Gmail - Send as or from any of your email addresses

Wow, every job search site is a pain and unique

2009-01-12T16:21:00.001-08:00

As I have been looking for a new job, I have been signing up for various job search sites.

Wow, are they a pain *and* each one is unique!!! The User Experience is not pleasant.

Here is a small sample:

Broadband outage - 2Wire 3800HGV-B Gateway router

2009-01-07T19:24:00.000-08:00

Image via Wikipedia

Recently we had a Broadband outage at home. It lasted for more than 24 hours. The cause, as it turns out, was that the 30 second electrical outage, due to the replacement of the power meter by PG&E, broke something within the 2Wire router (for our AT&T U-verse), model 3800HGV-B Gateway . Over the phone, the tech support agent had asked me to power cycle the router, and then to 'reset' the router. These did not resolve the issue, so someone was dispatched.

After reviewing all of the connections, over the course of more than 3 hours, the onsite technician reset the router. This time, that the router was reset, the reset button was held down for 30 seconds, as opposed to the 15 seconds which was recommended by the tech support agent.

Hopefully, the onsite representative will tell his teammates *and* the tech support center, that 30 seconds works better than 15 seconds. But, he may not tell, as he may be embarrassed that he had not tried that at the beginning of his visit, before spending the 3+ hours troubleshooting it as a connectivity issue.

For Firefox and Flock, using the LongURL Mobile Expander Add-on enables the user to see what the short URL expands to, but Safari search.twitter.com has this feature built-in...

When Safari search.twitter.com encounters a shortened URL, is added next to the short URL. Click to expand the shortened URL, and click to restore to the short URL.

NOTE: I have not found this feature in the Safari documentation yet. Any know where this feature is documented?

Pangram - Word of the day

2008-12-06T22:46:00.000-08:00

pangram, as defined by http://www.owlsoup.com/foamtrain/glossary/ppp.html:
A sentence containing every letter of the alphabet. Useful in font demonstrations. Frequently used are phrases like “How razorback-jumping frogs can level six piqued gymnasts!” or “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” But less common are “The risque gown makes a very brazen exposure of juicy flesh.” or “Jaded zombies acted quaintly but kept driving their oxen forward” or even “The sex life of the woodchuck is a provocative question for most vertebrate zoology majors.” and the even more rare “Jelly-like above the high wire, six quaking pachyderms kept the climax of the extravaganza in a dazzling state of flux.”
