Peter Lewis on Convergence. In Fortune.com, Peter states the case that convergence is more of a vendor dream and not really an end user demand, and hence it is not really likely to happen. I’d agree mostly. I actually think we are headed for a world of data/network convergence, but device divergence. It is getting cheaper and cheaper to make all kinds of devices, thanks to contract manufacture, contract design, better supply chain management, build to order, etc. So I think we’ll see more kinds of devices, not fewer. But the devices that win will be the ones that support standard protocols and data formats out the back side, so that my data can be used anywhere, is portable to my next device, is viewable from other devices, etc.

Sonics last nite. The Seattle Times: Sports: Notebook: After speaking up, Lewis gets touches he desires

How do you describe the most ferocious dunk since Vince Carter was a rookie? Since words won’t do any of forward Rashard Lewis’ jams justice, let’s just say he brought the house down when he palmed a Brent Barry missed three-pointer and stuffed the ball through the hoop with the velocity of a Mike Tyson punch.

Top Selling Digital Cameras. Interesting to look at this – at Amazon.com, clearly weighted towards the $150-300 price range. 6 Canon, 5 Sony, 4 Olympus, 3 Kodak, 3 Fujifilm, 2 Minolta, 1 Nikon, 1 Sipix in the top 25. The Walmart top seller list is a little different – 4 Canon, 3 each of Kodak, Olympus, HP, 2 each of Nikon, Vivitar, Fujifilm, and Sony, and then 1 each fo Toshiba, Meade, Concord, Minolta. I need to check some retail locations too to see what is selling.

Epson 2200. Both Bush and paul maritz are very happy with the Epson 2200 for photo printing. Paul showed me some big prints and they looked great.

Activewords. An interesting idea, I could use system-wide macros – ActiveWords Home Page. But I had to uninstall, it seemed a little too aggressive at capturing keystrokes, there were times when i couldn’t seem to type anything into any program, Activewords was eating everything. Too bad.

Whirlyball. One of the school classes is headed here tomorrow – WhirlyBall Edmonds/Seattle - home – looks like a total blast.

Modelling and Simulation Software. Need to dig into this later – may have some software useful for my pneumatic circuit models – Links to Modelling and Simulation Software

Image Selection Tool. Gleaned from Clay Shirky’s newsletter, Image Selection Tool has some really interesting ideas (tho the worst name imaginable?). The idea of melding storylines and storytelling with pictures is very interesting.

Diversi-Tune. Wow is there a lot of karaoke software on the web. Astounding, clearly a huge interest area that I am not totally in tune with. We are trying out Diversi-Tune – we are putting some of our own words to a couple standards for some school follies. Bill at divtune has been super helpful too, sending me the info on how to edit the word files, the bouncing ball, etc.
