iPad: A Space Odyssey

February 19, 2010 – 4:49 pm

Seriously, who didn't think of the Newspad in Arthur C. Clarke's and Stanley Kubrick's 2001 immediately when they saw Steve Jobs holding up the iPad?

Tweetme.me – Take a Look Around You

February 14, 2010 – 10:57 pm

I decided to release my Twitter-based map after playing around with it in one of my upcoming projects.

This site basically tries to figure out where you are through various methods and fallbacks, does a search on Twitter and plots recent and geocoded tweets onto a map.

Caveat: Currently, the latest WebKit nightlies automatically refuse to return a geolocation, but the shipping version of Safari should work. I tested in Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera and IE 8 & 7.

Enjoy!

Activity on My Personal Projects – a Code Swarm

February 7, 2010 – 2:35 pm

That's about 2 years worth of activity. Kinda depressing, isn't it?

Also an experiment with the HTML5 video element. If you're using a browser that doesn't support it (or h.264), I offer my condolences.

Update: Here's a download link if you have QuickTime: http://octidextro.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/prototype.mov
