Webcam Windows Media GPRS SmartPhone=?

shanghai-wireless webcam What if we combine Webcam, Windows Media Technology, GPRS and a SmartPhone together? Here is the result:

I broadcasted the scene of my cubicle and use a smart phone to view it, in video, at real time. I can pull my mobile phone and see what is going on, no matter where I am, on bus, in Metro, at airport, in Beijing or in Hainan...

Interesting stuff. But using IIS is a bit overboard, surely? Aren't there web cam apps that would do this? Or, at least create MPEGs that could be streamed with QuickTime Streaming Server? What about QuickTime Broadcaster? I'll dig into this a little more in a few days. I have a client that will definitely be interested in it.

Wired News: Here's the Price of Fame: $218.32

"Filmmakers can afford to work now. No more excuses, or filmmakers' block, or procrastination. Either they start shooting, or they are waiting for the vanity crew, or they aren't filmmakers."

Whooo-Hooo! There's my call to action. I've got hours and hours of the kids... Hundreds of stills. No time though. Damn.

Scoble reading 1200 RSS feeds

I can't keep it up. Over the next few days I'm gonna work at getting rid of about half of the feeds I'm reading. I learned I can handle 700 feeds, but not 1200.

Feeds.scripting.com still says that I am only reading 703, though.

I have enough problems with 61. Most don't update, luckily, some have hundreds of news items a day, some repeat. But most of all, I know I'm being extremely efficient in my news junky mode. Takes me an hour a day to skim. Plus an hour to read/post. Pretty soon, I'll have to skip some of this this out, as I'm getting too busy.

But, I'm watching less and less TV news... So, I guess it's a better way to get my junky fix, I'm getting the news that matters most to me and at least I don't have to sit though sports news on TV anymore. Fantastic!

Thousands of Iraqis Demand Death for Hussein

The 5,000-strong crowd was believed to be the first public demonstration in Iraq demanding death for Saddam since he was captured by U.S. forces Dec. 13.

Iraq is turning into a blood thirsty country. I guess it always has been.
