Smart objects

Tuesday, March 03 2009 -

I was watching yesterday the Microsoft Office Labs 2019 Vision . The common theme throughout both videos was the ubiquity of the smart objects. For an example, take a look at 2:20 in the second video, where the actor looks at a PDA-like object and then detaches the top half of it to get two separate devices that interact, one as a main display and one as a secondary display offering auxiliary function (in that particular case it looked like a location based service). This really reminded me of the Siftables scenario. Except that Siftables targets kids. Than again, in ten years the kids that play...

Markets In Everything

Monday, March 02 2009

One of my favorite economic blogs is Marginal Revolution written by Tyler Cowen and Alex Tabarrok. The whole blog is worth reading, but my favorite part of it is the series of Markets In Everything posts. Today I discovered the Markets In Everything index page maintained by Michael Cleverly. This is really neat ideas, as you can go and read all the posts in the series dating from the very first one back in September 2003. It’s definitely worth it.

Different ways to use Live Sync

Monday, March 02 2009 - ,

Technorati Tags: cloud , live sync I’ve been using Live Sync for the almost four years, from before Microsoft bought Foldershare. It’s been slowly creeping into my everyday life more and more, until today I realized that I am so used to the personal cloud I’ve built with it that I can’t even remember what the life before it was. Well, almost :-) I’ve decided to enumerate here the things I am using Live Sync for. If you have other ideas, shout out to francip at Twitter. 1. Live Sync of documents The first thing I use Live Sync for is the classic one - I am sharing the...

Moving feeds

Monday, February 16 2009

Penov.org is using FeedBurner for its feeds. I am currently in process of migrating all feeds over to the Penov.org domain. Unfortunately, this happens at the same time as my hoster is migrating the site to different servers as well. Thus, the DNS entries will be somewhat flaky in the next few days. As a result, the new feeds might be unavailable. I will do my best to make the transition as smooth as possible. Let's hope everything works out properly.

(Month 5) Започнахме да се обръщаме

Tuesday, February 10 2009

От няколко дена вече се обръщаме по корем като си изпуснем играчката. (Когато казвам “ние”, имам предвид София; Мих и аз отдавна можем да се обръщаме по корем :-)) Разбира се, обръщането се прави само ако наоколо няма някой възрастен, който да бъде накаран да вдигне въпросната изпусната играчка.

(Month 4) Healthy Sleeping Habits, Happy Child

Sunday, December 28 2008

(Full disclaimer: if you buy anything from Amazon through the links in this post, I get a kickback) One of the books that helped us tremendously in the past three and a half months is Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child by Marc Weissbluth. The book gives a lot of info and practical steps on how to ensure your baby has a healthy sleep and boy does that make her happy. :-) We've been trying to follow the book's advice for a while now and the results are really good. Sophia is going to bed around 7:30pm - 8pm and is sleeping through the whole night with the occasional break aroun 2am for a quick snack...

(Week 2) Растем със страшна сила

Wednesday, September 17 2008

:-) Ако някой още не е разбрал или не се е досетил, не съм писал две седмици поради факта че не ми е останало никакво време. Малката София вече е тука и се старае със всичи сили да ни държи заети, да не би да решим че това да си родил е всъщност лесно. Малко снимки - на http://flickr.com/francip .

(Week 40) Никакво развитие

Saturday, September 06 2008

Вече е 40-та седмица, а беба все още не иска да излиза. :-) Според докторите всичко е нормално, правиха тест на околоплодните води и сърдечния ритъм и всичко е в нормата. Плана е да изчакаме още няколко дена и ако няма никакво развитие, другата седмица ще индуцират раждането.
