fun

Isn’t it amusing to see what you can find on flickr video? Now to add some music and get a laugh out of people.

I’m just playing with overlays to see how they work. Move the mouse over the video and see three products appear.

That’s always pleasant to see, nice download speed via wifi on an adsl connection in the swiss countryside. Meanwhile in a “Virgin media” part of the world someone mentioned a 2KB a second connection. Such is the online lifestyle.

A few days ago I was in Paris to meet the Francofous and in the process I passed by La Cantine where they were holding a Videocamp. It’s like a barcamp but rather than talking about radio and podcastng people talked about peer to peer video sharing, citizen journalism and other topics. I filmed a few people presenting what their seminars had been about and finally they’re available via my website.

With 3g and fast mobile broadband access on the horizon more and more people will be streaming their content live for those across the world to see. Of interest around Geneva in the next few days is the European cup. We may find a few more people than usual in the streets and this may be of interest to people. You probably remember the football world cup. People were taking thousands of pictures and tagging them as world cup.

Mickey - Mar 0, 2008 Why do you need to send the KML to your laptop? When I use the N95 Sports Tracker, it uploads directly from my phone (before I even come back into the house). Then I can simply pull up their website and view the track in Google Earth/Maps. I’ll have to try that, haven’t tried it yet.

Six thousand steps later and I’ve created yet another track via the Sports tracker application for the N95. What’s fun is that within a few seconds of arriving home I can bluetooth the KML file to my laptop, open it in google earth and I’ve got an arerial view of the wintery walk I took If I could get a wintery map then it’d be perfect as the ground is covered in snow.

Todd Jordan - Mar 6, 2008 Friend in Austin finds wi-fi on her daily bus ride to/from work. Has to turn off the Airport wireless to avoid the networks popping up. I recently had a similar idea, I also have a new N95 8GB and I noticed there’s a lot of free Wi-Fi around Prague where I live. My first post to Ovi was about free Wi-Fi access I found: http://www.

Wifi is something that should be ubiquitous so that our digital lifestyle may not be limited to being online at home or at work. It should include, bars, restaurants and city squares. In some cities wifi is easy to find but in others that’s not the case. The lazy way to do wifi mapping could be with the geo loc software on the n95, a flickr account and free wifi. Everytime you find free wifi, get the GPS co-ordinates, include them in the exif and upload them to twitter.

waveydavey001 - Mar 5, 2008 Sports Tracker is an interesting application that I’ve been experimenting with recently. If you jog and are on Jaiku come and join us on the Jogku channel
