Tune Find

So your watching TV maybe The OC or Grey’s Anatomy and you hear a great song. Now you’ve heard the song before but don’t know the name of the band let alone the song title.

What are you to do? I stumbled across Tune Find the other day. They provide a data base of songs from TV and movies and  if you want to buy it on  I tunes they provide a link.

Pandora comes to Denver

Tim Westergen the founder of Pandora is going around the country and having meetups. Last night he stopped in Denver and had so many responses that he had to do it in two sessions.

He talked about the history and of Pandora and gave us some peaks at new features that they hope to roll out. A very nice evening spent with interesting geeks. All the best Tim and thank you for inventing Pandora and the many hours of great listening and the new bands I have discovered

Google is amazing!!

Now I’m going to sound like a complete Google fan boy but I’m blown away all of the cool applications that they keep leaking out.

Ive commented on Google Earth before but I don’t I’ve mentioned SketchUp SketchUp is a light weight drawing program kind of CAD for beginners. So you can draw a building paste a photograph on it then export it to Google Earth. Really quite remarkable.

How about Google Notebook its still in the Labs section and as near as I can tell that means they are still adding features it now supports collaboration, very handy.

Sports and Google Earth

What a great time for the sports fan The World Cup, Wimbledon and my favorite The Tour de France. Want to be a little interactive?

First download the new version of Google Earth version 4.0 was released in June and it has a much-improved interface.

Next go to the Google Earth Community and make Google Earth even more interesting. The Google Earth Community adds place marks on the map of interesting places, current events and sports

New Photo sites

I'm a big fan of Flickr but I can see there is room for other photo sites.

The first is Photobucket it is clean easy to use and is designed to make it easy to share your photos on Myspace or other blob sites.

The second one I found is Tabblo it lets you be as creative with your presentation as you are with your photos.

Third is Zooomer this site combines photos with geotagging so not only can you see were the photos were taken but you can see photos that were taken nearby

Invisibility Cloak, the next big thing?

Did you ever want an invisibility cloak? There are two papers in the current journal Science that suggest that not only is it possible it’s not very far away. The National Geographic article gives an idea of how it would work. Sorry no working models yet.

Thanks to Boing Boing for the links
