Amazon Fun

I've been exploring all the fun you can have with Amazon.com. As a content provider the business model for just doing programming for cable television, unless you have some pretty amazing scale, is pretty dismal. As a result, we have been building out our webstore, developing products and generally figuring out how to sell direct to the consumers.

Lord knows there are plenty of services out there to help with this. That is part of the problem. Figuring out which alchemy of products, websites, widgets and so forth is pretty astonishing.

As an aside, I'm getting back into my photography and have built my kit around my Nikon D70. It's a nice digital camera, but I'm already interested in the next level Nikon D300, but the chase for gear is always relentless.

My poor wife.

Anyway the point of my sharing this just me experimenting with the amazon contextual linking system for products. If you want, please click on the link and then go buy whatever you'd normally buy on amazon.

I might make 2 dollars.

COOL TECH: Head Tracking for Wii Remote

The Wii RULES. Why would I post this? In essence, the merger of 3d gaming, fiction environments, and even disaster reporting all have applications with this type of technology.

Here is Episode 2, Episode 3 and Episode 4 are also on YouTube. They are hysterical, but I'm feeling too lazy to link to them for you so you'll just have to type.

Real Screen Assault 2008

I love watching folks at Real Screen. It's a dance of the peacocks and the temporarily crazy.

I ran into a friend who's an Exec at Discovery (the big channel) and he had just been accosted by an attendee swaddled in a foot cast.

Metaphors surround us.

She had clearly invaded his personal space and my friend, who is a gentleman and national Emmy nominee, felt like he had just been slimed ala Ghostbusters.

I'll freely admit that Real Screen can have a strange effect on you. Maybe it's all the pheromones tinged with hope and desperation floating around in the air but still...

No wonder all the cable execs walk around with their badges turned around.

The Absolute Truth About TV

Probably the funniest thing I've seen about TV. Happy Hunting.

WYSINWYG - Content Aware Image Resizing

What you see, is not what you get. This is more proof that if it's on TV, it's likely to be complete or at least partial fabrication.
