You need to see the new trailer for Watchmen (by Zach Snyder who did 300). No need to thank me.

It’s pretty.

Battery Fatigue

Did you know that the biggest obstacle and expense for electric cars is battery technology? How dumb is that! As an idiot 4 year-old I could tell you that batteries didn’t last long enough and were too expensive. And today batteries aren’t going into small plastic dinos that trip over the shag and make you curse Christmas.

If you have kids you know the aggravation that comes standard with every battery purchase. You know they won’t last long, they’re expensive and the rechargeable alternatives seem to either drain too fast, or only give you about a dozen charges before providing the power equal to a sock-over-carpet shock. They need all sorts of batteries, many of which you can’t get at the supermarket. Besides the standards for their Wii controllers, MP3 players and so on, there are cell phone batteries, because all kids these days have cell phones (yes they do, I checked), and laptop batteries (verified that too).

I’d boycott batteries if I could. We either need everything to use something that I can get at my local food shop (goodbye cell phone battery!) or everything should just be solar. Slap solar cells on that dino and maybe there will be fewer tears at Christmas. Fewer dropped calls from my cell phone. Fewer pollutants in the atmosphere. And fewer things for John McCain to be wrong about.

Latest Ear Addiction: Drone

Dan — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 16:54:38 +0000

My latest ear addiction is Drone, and there isn’t even a damn CD yet. Drone is an electronic music artist in the glitch style. It’s very cool, catchy and progressive stuff.

There’s a very cool video by Drone of the song Strange Craft on Youtube, and below for lazy people:

Drone also has a Myspace page where you can listen to the following tracks:
Pulsar
Robotic Fantasy
Strange Craft
Floorrocka
World Trade Center
Healing My Toothache

Now I don’t have a MySpace account mind you (yeah, the only one?) so I can’t contact Drone to beg for a CD of his stuff. Shit, I’d pay if I knew who to pay. So, Drone, if you’re reading this, put some info up on your MySpace site on how to get a CD or email me at dan AT agentdesign.net. There’s money waiting for you.

iPhone SDK

Dan — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 12:39:19 +0000

I already have an iPod Touch, but once the iPhone is available with other carriers I’m getting one (no AT&T in my area). I love the large screen for watching a movie, or my latest download of Robot Chicken! The real exciting thing for the future of the iPhone is the SDK. This opens the cell phone to virtually unlimited possibilities. I’m hoping the iPhone SDK brings some games that I don’t have to have an Internet connection to play.

I think the iPhone SDK developers probably have even better ideas than just games. Helpful applications would be nice too. How about a more advanced word processor? A password vault…protected by a password of course (I have so many accounts in so many different places that I’ve started keeping some on my iPod Touch, and would likely do the same on an iPhone). The ability to play more file types would be nice too, but I honestly don’t know if the SDK and developers will have access to that in the media player portion of the iPhone. If not, maybe they could create a whole new software to access files from on the iPhone.

So here’s a wishlist:

Games
Word Processor
Spreadsheet App.
Password Vault
Media Player (for more file types like .avi)
Connection to GMail, AIM, Chat
