quicklink | outso and robs show

great turnaround today, things are getting faster in the studio in
terms of top and tailing clips but we can do more on the encoding if
we had an elgato turbo hd usb stick to do the compression of the
machine. that would help a lot. on the 'to purchase' list.

great to quickly rattle off episode o4 of robs entrepreneur show before easter.

saw this pop up last week at ces 2011 but not really had the time to talk about it as i've been doing other things.  the thing that really stands out about the switchblade is the ability to customize those key controls.  that alone regardless of the touchscreen top part will be one of the things hardware hackers will love to get their hands on.  the mobility sizing is perfect too.  as long as it can keep power for a reasonable amount of time razor have a winner on their hands.

Switchblade

i can see this with custom installed netstumbling, social media dashboards, mobile media makers with gps updating and video effects management - all sorts of custom applications.

this is pretty epic kit.

just a quick headsup to some news items that popped up in the last few weeks that really stood out.

corvus batteries came onto my radar this week
Corvus invested more than $5 million to create a safe, modular battery pack tough enough to withstand the world's harshest ocean and port environments, as well as fully function between -4 degrees and 140 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, each pack has an average life of twenty years. Lead-acid batteries last just seven years.

their website needs a serious makeover.  not only is it all flash (on the front) so not working on an ipod touch/ipad it really does not tell you all that much from the front page that they produce such awesome battery technology.  the more we move towards the ark the more i think about power, deep cycle batteries and new tech.  this blogpost tells you more about how awesome they actually are.  just the applications for marine are staggering - tugboats idle up to 90 percent of the time and operate at full power the remaining 10 percent. With Corvus, a 3,000-horsepower harbor tug in hybrid form will save 122,000 gallons of fuel and will reduce its emissions by 900 tons of carbon, 21 tons of nitrogen oxide and 8.62 tons of particulate matter each year.

ragehd on the ipad/iphone/ipod looks amazing.
seriously, we love iD.  they have always been able to push the limits of the latest technology - i'm looking forward to playing this one out.   it's about we started some multiplayer action on the apple platform.  maybe i need to hire a screen for an evening for a private battle with some friends.

rugged pov.hd video system captures 1080p through anything.
whoa vio just got hardcore with their latest device.  i saw these some time back but not capturing this kind of quality.  the uk police force have deployed a number of these across various locations.

sunforce 50022 5 watt solar battery trickle charger $34.99 at newegg
a total bargain if your stateside.  seeing a lot of solar prices falling across the board as newer more receptive technology comes onto the market.  looking forward to playing with solar to see what it can do next year and how much of it i actually need to power everything inside the ark - lighting, light cooking and computers!

so you can expect jane to now be followed by millions of players worldwide after doing this video - great ideas.

she is dead on the money.  i have an idea how they can be implemented as successful minor making money real world credits.  just look to the way that google streetmaps captured the images, add a bit of mechanical turk to the mix and boom.  in game loyalty gaming between level loads.

it's coming i'm sure of it! :)
