Godin did a presentation at Google where he ran through his usual fare. To his credit, he demonstrates a decent dose of humility. Perhaps more insightful are Valleywag's summary comments.

Written from a bitter-cranky hope-crushing perspective, this site does link to a pretty useful and exhaustive list of sites pushing the envelope.

I had a phone interview with Google today. I took notes; some of the questions they asked were interesting. We were allowed to ask questions. The interviewer didn't ask many questions in response to my answers, except to occasionally say "interesting".

Human/machine interaction work has uncovered some interesting stuff in the area of emotion. Emotions we find more desirable are those that match our mood. We'd rather talk to a sad robot when we're sad too. They've also found that we'd rather have them present more like pets than mimicking humans. There's a NYT article about it today.

This video shows exactly what the iPod box would have looked like if Microsoft would have designed it. The funny thing is, its so true.

A simple, smart and humane way to catch a mouse with simple stuff you have lying around. It sounds fun enough that it almost makes me want to have a mouse in the first place so I can try it.

Some genius thought he should "test" his wife's taser. At least he had the sense of humor to write about it. A cautionary tale.

The video is a funny parody of an AOL commercial. Warning video uses strong language.

About a year ago some guys took it upon themselves to do this future news story (that plays a bit cheezy a la Hollywood trying to portray tech in "The Net" or something). It's fun enough to watch, though significantly more fun if you take a drink every time they coin an awkward new web name. Short version: Microsoft vs. Google death-match.

Apple just made the first practical production living room computer that actually bridges the PC/CE divide. How long you think it will be before the industry notices that Apple's pulled another iPod?

Why not?
So back to why... I guess its just more invigorating to participate than to simply observe. I like observing, mind you. It's just more fun to do. I'm sure there are other reasons. With any luck I'll discover them in the process of doing this. On that note I'll end this first posting and you can be the judge of what you see here.
