This is the most beautiful juggeling act I have ever seen.  In fact, I don’t think I would use the word “beautiful” to describe juggeling prior to this.  Really worth a look.

Help fight the RIAA

Published by Spencer under Personal ramblings

The Big Four record labels are escalating their attack on Patti Santangelo, the New York mother who’s so far the only person to stand up to them.


I just donated $20. Come on, you help too!

LED Throwies

Published by Spencer under But is it Art?, Cool tech

Picture hundreds of these LED coated battery/magnets stuck all over a building, or something bigger!  Great video on today’s Rocketboom. This all started as a project at Graffiti Research Lab, assembly details here. I may just have to get some people together and see what we can make happen out here on the left coast!

Ashes and Snow

I’ve been in Santa  Monica since Saturday, and yesterday went to the Ashes and Snow exhibitition by photographer Gregory Colbert.  It was extraordinary.  The beauty and harmony that welled in the work touched our hearts.  The only tinge was how staged the photos were, but they were wonderful, and it takes staging, and tons of real depth and content to do what he did.  It’s a must see if you are in LA.  Also, the structure is amazing…a very large building made of shipping containers, cardboard tubes, tarps, hay, and wires.

Bones in Motion is Launched!

Wow, so much has been going on.  The big news… we publicly launched Bones in Motion and our first product, BiM Active, at Demo 2006 yesterday.  We’ve all been working non-stop to pull this off.  You can check out the 6 minute video of the presentation.  We also announced availability on Sprint and Nextel phones (and another big carrier will be announced very soon).

The bigger news is that we’ve had a fantastic response from the launch at Demo.  An AP story highlighted us in an article that was picked up by over 50 papers, including USA Today.  The San Jose Mercury News featured us (1 of only 6 companies mentioned and first in the story) in their article.  Editors from several major publications are requesting phones to take back from Demo 2006 to use for testing and in-depth articles.  We’re hearing from Sprint that no application launch has ever generated this level of inquiry and activity to their PR group (a reflection on ‘Demo’ as a great launch vehicle).

Oh, and I spoke at Mobile Monday the night before the launch (and I’m told that despite sleep deprivation, I was even coherent)!
