It’s been a while since I shot or even explored Gigapan, the amazing photo exploration tool that lets you see a wide range of zoom detail in a scene. I have not even captured a scene in a while (see my old ‘pans). But by sheer accidental link clicking from my RSS Reader (am I […]
Watch any YouTube video in a flowing stream of frame shots? Try Yooouuutuuube. It’s better seen than described- the spaced out version of Dominoe: linktribution to Mashable who thankfully do not obfuscate their post URLs with google feedproxy gunk in their RSS feeds
Just stumbled across aMap, a little web app for setting up polarized discussions that can be done in a little map form, or as they say: aMap is short for “˜argument map’. The idea’s very simple – to promote the art of arguing by mapping out complex debates in a simple visual format. Sure you […]

I feel your fatigue. I feel mine. But I keep finding them interesting! Call me a fanboy (it’s a legit word in the dictionary).
Tossing a linktribution to HeyJude (HeyJude! Hi) who has clued me into many new tools, I gave a go at Posterous:
Posterous is the dead simple way to put anything online using email. We launched in July 2008 and we’ve been steadily growing and adding features.
We love sharing thoughts, photos, audio, and files with our friends and family, but we didn’t like how hard it was… so we made a better way.
That’s posterous. We’re super excited to see what happens when blogging becomes as easy as email, and we hope you enjoy posterous as much as we do.
How wild- you can set up an account without… setting up an account! So more or less, any way you can email something- text, words, pictures, movies? to post@posterous.com or SMS to their number (in the US only for now, sorry), you can blog.
For no other reason that it was fun to play with, using the cutting web 2.X tools of BombayTV, we have the latest in the tales of edupunk.

Just quickly came across a link to Wordle, a tag cloud generating site, which provides some interesting layout options for visual display of tag clouds- generated form text cut and paste into the tool or via a del.icio.us account. Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give […]
