I recently saw the Super Real Mario pic linked too from digg.com, but never explored the rest of the site until today.

Pixeloo is a new blog where "Pixeloo" posts some of his/her work for all to see. The latest post of Jessica Rabbit was just amazing and I thought it deserved a link.

I also have been using Photoshop for a long time now, and I think people who use Photoshop have a greater appreciation for the images like this. Very well executed.

This movie has been out for a month, but I just found it. It's a really cool demo of how positional technologies like the Wiimote can help provide very immersive environments through a flat screen.

I was quite impressed when he started up the demo.

After returning my Dell M1330 last year I have been cautiously shopping for a new laptop. Macworld 08 has always been on my mind, because I am always wondering what they might announce this year that will make my purchase look like a piece of junk.

After seeing some new photos of the Moscone Center and new banners I am starting to think the rumors of an ultra portable Macbook with WiMax are looking more accurate.

"There's Something in the Air" seems to imply a "new" WiFi technology, and the new laptop seems to fit the bill pretty well.

Anyway, I am looking forward to the keynote and to see what Steve has up his sleeve.

Recently I have been moving away from electronic music, and have been listening to more rock based music. This is mostly due the lack of good original electronic music releases over the past few years.

However after hearing a Poney by Vitalic on a YouTube video I decided to pick up the whole album, and was glad that I did.

OK Cowboy by Vitalic contains some of the best electronic music I have heard in a long time, and I have listened to the whole album several times since buying it.

Poney (Part 1), Wooo, Trashion, and The Past are my favorite tracks. The others are still good, but these four tracks make the album a good buy. These days if I get three good tracks from an album I am pretty happy.

A few weeks back I bought the Canon Prixma iP4500 and I am really liking it. Since receiving the printer I have been using it nearly everyday for several weeks and none of the ink tanks have had to be replaced. This was a pretty big deal for me.

In a printer I was looking for a cheap unit that would produce decent color prints, but would also print lots of black pages without needed new ink every week. So far this printer has been great.

Using regular 20lb paper the color output is not good, a lot of the prints get a little blurry as the paper soaks up the ink dots. However when using photo paper, or just higher quality smooth paper the image quality is excellent.

I have noticed over the past couple of weeks that the GMail storage on my account has been going up very quickly. In the past the counter on the login page has been going up slowly, and was more of a gimmick. But in the last week or so I noticed the total storage capacity jumped up from 2.9GB to just over 3GB. Then this morning I logged in and it's at 3.35GB's.

That may not sound like a lot by todays standards, but when you multiply nearly 0.5GB by all the GMail users you can see that Google is making significant push to add more storage. I wonder if this could be a prelude to an announcement that could rival Yahoo!'s recent move to unlimited storage?

UPDATE 12/22/07: Looks like Google really was increasing the storage. Ever since this post the storage on GMail has been going up much faster than in the past. Currently my account is quickly approaching 6GB.

Still not unlimited like Yahoo!, but obviously Yahoo! does not really provide unlimited storage for every user. It's more of a marketing gimmick. I actually respect Google a little more for not jumping in and saying the same thing.

For a while now I have been using iTunes as my main music player and the iTunes music store as my exclusive online music store, however I have come to the end of the line. There has not been one single thing that has caused me to give up on iTunes and Apple, but a combination of lots of things that when put together make iTunes not such a hot product.
