my amazon wish list 25Jun07 | 0 comments
I use amazon to keep track of what movies / books I want to see / read.

The answer is yes. I’m not even talking about just the commercials. How many times in movies and TV episodes do you want it to just move faster. Well, this company “minisodes” decided to do that. Their stuff can be seen on myspace: http://myspace.com/minisodenetwork.
Here is one of the videos. Who’s the boss.

I seriously think that some computer software could not be more annoying.
Today, I get an email and open up adobe reader to check out the pdf.
Adobe is like “hey man, wanna upgrade?”.
Jeremy responds, “well of course, gotta check out the new options”, Jeremy clicks Yes.
Adobe is like, “ok, but you cant look at that important file you were just checking out. And since you already clicked yes, I’m going to make you go through about 10 screens and this will take about 5 minutes”
Jeremy says “Adobe, this is why people don’t like you”
Five minutes later Adobe says, “Hey I got this thing installed. Oh, by the way you need to restart your computer and lose everything your doing.”
Jeremy says “Adobe, I’m not going to restart, thanks for the advice.”
Five minutes later Adobe says, “Hey remember how I told you we needed to restart? Well I’m going to keep bothering you until you do so.”
I’m not sure why this is the cool thing nowadays, but it seems that if you want to have a successful web 2.0 application you need to drop a vowel.
I believe that the history of this is with flickr (yahoo’s baby now). Maybe old contestants from the Wheel of Fortunue have joined .com startups. Vowels do cost more than normal letters.
I think I’m going to change my name to be more web 2.0 friendly to Jermy Kandh.
I can’t believe that these are some of the most popular widgets online. Although, I do enjoy the lavalamp.
apparently this is one of the top web toys…not sure why.

Sometimes people come up with great ideas. Sometimes people come up with bad ideas.
I think the most important question to ask here is why is there not a baby carrying option on the segway?
Dean Kamen is rejoicing.
I’ve been playing around with widgets a lot lately. Check out (netvibes.com or pageflakes.com). I am in love with the complete customization of the web. The pages allow you to put whatever you want wherever you want.
I think this concept can work all over the web. Why is it that when I go to a site like cnn.com that it is formatted in a way that someone thought that I would like to see it. I think that I should be able to drag and drop different parts of the site or add content that I want to see. Why am I stuck with the content the way they want me to see it.
Whenever google has a product that allows you to see “trends” they mainly creep you out. I was playing around with their “web history” product and found how many searches I’ve placed each month for the last year. I average about 600ish searches per month. What am I searching for?
This makes me feel like I am lost. 600 times a month I need to “find” something. Or twenty times a day.
Another odd fact is that I only searched the web 5 times between 4-6am over the last year (or .069% of my searches).
It just amazes me. Watch this video. This is almost as good as the kid that fainted mid-spelling and then got up and finished spelling the word.
