Watching TV on the web
May 9, 2008

We all knew it was coming... TV shows to your computer screen, on demand. But it's always been a shady business of downloading shows with a P2P app, waiting a few hours, and then, finally, watching your show.

Last night Meredith discovered that now you can watch shows directly from ctv.ca! I'm amazed!

We watched an episode of LOST last night on the laptop and I'm just starting episode 10 now. Definitely a new level of convience, and the quality is impressive.



Processing.js
May 9, 2008

Who knew you could create pretty pictures with Javascript? The just-released Processing.js does just that, and does it very well.

This also interests me from the standpoint of tightly integrating something like PVL into a programming language, such as the language Lemur that I've been working on. It has always annoyed me that it wasn't easy to create pretty pictures using programming languages.


First wiki article
May 9, 2008

A few years ago, Matt Langeman introduced me to the notion of wikis. A couple months later, I wrote a wiki for work, since there was no easy way to create or edit documentation. And so, over the last 4 years, I've created about 400 wiki documents at work. But I've never contributed a wiki document on the wider Internet... until today, of course :)
