  Sharing what I find interesting Interesting web stuff, RSS | (2)

  First, if you don't know what RSS is you should read this. Then, the cool stuff Many bloggers post huge amounts of articles that are simple links to the interesting stuff they find around the web. I try to only post articles here at eirikso.com when I have something to share. More than a simple link. But I spend quite a bit of time reading other web sites and updating myself on new technology. A lot of the stuff I find is of high quality and interesting to share. But not enough for a separate article here on this blog. Here is ...

  Get a first life Interesting web stuff, secondlife | (4)

  Okay, so you don't see many posts on this blog that is a simple link to something that most of the blogsphere also have linked to. But I'll make an exception for this one. I find it funny and important. Never forget your First Life. And for the people that have missed the hype around Second Life it is a virtual world that you can read about here.

  Zcubes - do it all in your browser Interesting web stuff, web 2.0 | (5)

  I have been playing around with Zcubes for a couple of minutes. It's in beta. It's quite slow and it looks ugly. But, this baby lets you do quite a lot within the browser. At this point only Explorer 5.5 and above. So, if you're in Explorer you can go directly to a test page here. Or, read more about it over at Read/Write Web: In terms of using ZCubes, the idea is that it allows users to create "experiences" - ranging from the creation of personal pages, greeting cards, posters, portals, research/academic papers and more. Making ...

  Pimp your image Interesting web stuff, Photo | (10)

  PikiPimp.com lets you upload and have fun with your pictures. Another example of how pretty advanced applications find their way to the web. Fast, user friendly, hilarious and completely useless. Have fun!

  The celebrity oystercatcher Interesting web stuff, Science, streaming | (0)

  If you are an oystercatcher and decides to place your nest on top of the science building of the university of Bergen you are up for some fame. A pair of oystercachers has decided that this is a good idea. They have been there several years and the very scientific people at the university distributed the hatching through a web cam last year. New this year is high quality live video streaming. Due to the very long days during the Norwegian summer you will get quite nice shots even late evenings and early mornings. The picture in this article is from ...

  Friday funny commercial roundup Interesting web stuff, marketing | (6)

  Germans. They're funny. Yes they are. Really. A lot of you have already seen these, but it's time for a little friday rerun. Peter Stormare as a freaked out German engeneer. Three spots. Then a little dramatic fun while sinking.

  Listen to eirikso.com Interesting web stuff, Site info., iPod | (2)

  Erling Sivertsen points me to Talkr. A service that can give you a computer generated audio version of RSS-feeds. From now on you will find a nice little button in my side bar that says "Talkr". Copy the link from that button into your podcacher (iTunes or Juice or whatever), and you can start listening to eirikso.com. I don't think eirikso.com is the best blog to listen to because I try my best to include visuals in addition to the text. Photos and illustrations. Still this is a cool service and could be very valuable for people with limited vision ...

  ROFL! The n00b got a BSOD on his HTPC Interesting web stuff, internet | (5)

  Or in plain english: Rolling on the floor lauging! The inexperienced user got a serious error on his home theatre personal computer. People keeps asking. And a while ago I realised that my mother is reading this blog. She wasn't the one requesting this little roundup of strange computer geek language but I have a feeling that she will be one of the persons learning a couple of new abbreviations from this article. There is no point for me to give something of a complete guide to internet language. I'll explain a couple of the abbreviations I have used here on eirikso.com and ...

  The web page that eventually will show every picture possible Interesting web stuff, Software, Technology | (1)

  In May 2005 I posted an article that described an insane, yet slightly interesting supposition: Everything you would ever want to see To put it short: Make a computer program that renders all pictures possible within a given limitation. Store them on a hard drive and you would have a repository of all footage necessary to make any movie or TV show that will ever be made. The article is one of my most popular so far. If you look through the comments you will find a lot of suggestions and attempts on making such a program. Now, half a year later I have ...

  Pandora - Music recommendation radio that works Interesting web stuff, Media | (4)

  I just started playing around with Pandora, a recommendation radio built on the Music Genome Project. Just wanted to share that this is the first time I have tried a recommendation radio that actually works and that actually recommends stuff that I like! After my first half hour of use it seems a bit US-focused, but I'll have to try it out some more before I can jump to any conclusions. This is a service that meets some of the most basic requirements for something that could be a hit: 1. It is easy to understand the concept 2. It is easy to ...
