I drink sometimes. I used to smoke a lot. And I’ve never shot a gun in my life. Two thirds of manhood. Hmmm. Don’t know if that is a good thing. Check out this macho style icon set made by Daniel Levanon in Photoshop. Still not sure about the gun as a symbol of manhood. Or as a symbol of anything for that matter. If it was up to me I’ll extinguish all types of guns from the face of the earth. But well. Enough crap. Just download the frigging set. It’s fantastic.

Holy shit! This is not part of a sci fi movie. This is happening and it’s happening now. And pretty soon, it will be yesterday’s news. Augmented reality apps take advantage of the GPS and the compass that iphones and other high end cell phones have to bring data to the real world in the most mind blowing ways you can imagine. This is a technology that is just starting and it is just amazing. Just imagine what will happen in 5 years. Which one is the craziest to you?

I think Google wave is having mixed reviews because it’s too new to be understood completely. Wave is the new kid on the block and nobody knows all the cool toys he has in his basement. It’s a matter of time to make him open up.
Check out this reflection by Ryan Carson for his blog Think Vitamin. (Carsonified). I assure you will ever be indifferent to Google Wave again.
