I saw some video projected from a Mitsubishi XL5U projector last night. Wow. I have no idea if this is a really good projector, or if they are all this good, but it looks great. And huge. And so bright. I was under the impression that you had to have a dark room, but that is most definitely not the case. The picture is blindingly bright. Why don't more people have these? There must be some downside I am missing.

I've mentioned the photo sharing site flickr many times as an example of how much is possible right now in terms of building very sophisticated application-like web interfaces.

Here is an interview with flickr CEO Stewart Butterfield that is a pretty good explanation of what the site is, and why it has grown so popular.

The Sonos Digital Music System is really cool. If you are a rich person with a big house you should buy this. And then let me come over and play with it. Wow.

I am tempted by this camera phone: Sony / Ericsson S710a.

Google Maps.

I used to equate Google with the ability to build huge data centers out of commodity PCs. But lately I find myself equating them with kick ass web application interfaces. That is a pretty powerful one two punch.
