Random

I figure I'm due for a random post... as I've mentioned before I keep a draft email that stores random links and ideas for posts that pop into my head throughout the week. Well I'm at Stauf's, the sun is shining and its time to clean out some of the old stuff... You've been warned.

First, Cleveland Brown's fans own the rights to the phrase "Dawg Pound". Apparently a sports apparel company tried to claim they owned the rights, but a Federal Judge decided otherwise. Not sure if there's been any recent developments but here's the original AP story I found on yahoo about a month ago.

In convergence tech news... yahoo has developed a little program for certain nokia smart phones that will tag cell-phone pics with locational information (Link Here). The idea is you take a pic with your camera, upload it to flickr, where the location tag lets you link to a map of where you took the pic. I could see some interesting geo-caching type uses for this.

Finally Here's Landon Donivan sporting the new US Soccer Kit. Looks like a winner. Brit, we need more world cup coverage!

  1. I can't believe 'geo-caching' is i the dictionary....mind you it's wikipedia, I think the English Oxford Dictionary people may feel it's only Balderdash & Piffle.

    Landon Donovan looks like a poor mans David Beckham Wannabe - you want to see a kit launch? Look here bitches. Now there's some soccer superstars!

  2. Erick, didn't I mention something like that for landscape shots? Is there a way to accurately add shot location after the fact. I still think a map interface for a slide show would be pretty cool. Just wave the mouse over a map location to see a thumbnail, click to view. Any programmers out there want to get started?
