podSites
A podSite is a name for a collection of text files, with links to other text files, and possibly sound files and image files stored, and accessible on an iPod. Think of it as a website for your iPod. Or a slice of the web, in your pocket. podSites are much easier to create than web pages, you don’t need any special tools, and you can learn the skills to create a podSite in less than half an hour.

openID
An OpenID identity is just a URL. You can have multiple identities in the same way you can have multiple URLs. All OpenID does is provide a way to prove that you own a URL (identity). And it does this without passing around your password, your email address, or anything you don’t want it to.

what will the telephone be like when i grow up?
It’s hard to say young fellow, but you can be sure there are great things ahead.
Today we telephone from moving automobiles, trains, air-planes and ships far out at sea. And radio microwaves beam telephone calls and television programs from tower to tower across the country.
The Day is coming when you will be able to reach any telephone in the country simply by dialing a number.
perhaps some day in the future you may just speak the number into the transmitter and get your party automatically.

A series of doodly visualizations generated from pop songs. The songs are analyzed note-by-note & at each note a specific line is drawn. The angle at which the line is drawn is determined by the pitch of the note, & the length of the line is determined by the volume of the note. The result is a series of playful, doodle-like, linear drawings. structuredsound.net
