NOW – Visually displayed by Sprint

This is a very fancy representation of  the blogosphere… slightly overpowering, but pretty darn interesting. It’s also well set to expand with the incorporation of widgets for iGoogle, Yahoo, Vista, etc.

I saw the original snip on the rb.trends blog, which links to the article here: http://infosthetics.com/archives/2008/11/statistical_visualization_ueber-widget.html

I looked it up at http://now.sprint.com/widget/ and shot my view of now below.

The phrasing makes me think back to Eckhart Tolle, a very interesting author and speaker. Less about technology (in all respects) than about learning from one’s self… and experiencing the Now. Check out his teachings here: http://www.eckharttolle.com/eckharttolle-powerofnow

Soccer Game Viewing – Via Feel

I can see so many applications for this technology for the blind… and wouldn’t you know it that entertainment tech is leading the way.

So, whenever someone kicks the ball, your phone should vibrate. The vibrations should be of different frequencies and lengths, according to the area where the ball is located. If it’s in midfield, for example, the phone should produce a weak, short-time vibration. When someone scores a goal, the vibration could be long and more powerful.
