Posh Pets

Dolly the Dog enjoyed a spa day yesterday!

I can highly recommend Dawn Dillard and her Posh Pet's mobile grooming & photography service. They service the Collin County, Texas area: McKinney, Frisco, Plano & Allen.

I can't image dropping Dolly off at groomers and leaving her there, not my girl. Dawn did a great job and Dolly got the works and is a very happy doggy!

Global Climate Destabilization

Tip to zefrank for bringing this to my attention:

Greg writes: "This ten-minute home video is called "How It All Ends," and is the result of hundreds of hours of research and production, stemming from an earlier video I produced, titled "The Most Terrifying Video You'll Ever See." ::

"The Most Terrifying Video", posted on the web six months ago, made a novel argument for taking action on global climate change, and has garnered over 4 million views on various websites. Reading the 6000+ comments on that video"”most of them critical"”allowed me to hone my argument, so that now it is"”as far as I've been able to tell"”undeniable. Repackaged in "How It All Ends," the argument is backed up by over 6 hours of "expansion pack" videos, anticipating and answering every single objection that I've been able to elicit from skeptics. Sounds impossible, yes. But then, I've been maniacally thorough."

Zumobi

Zumobi Logo Zumobi is a zooming interface & mobile widget platform for mobile devices. I tested it out on my AT&T Tilt and was underwhelmed. My user experience can be summed up in three words: bloated, slow, & buggy. Oh, and it was a resource hog and did I mention slow, man was it slow. You would think from all the demo videos that you'd be able to zoom around, but that just wasn't happening.

Now it could be that I had a unique experience, but I did see via scobleizer.com's shared items that Russell Beattie wrote a scathing review of Zumobi that is far better than any thing I could come up with.

My advice: Stay away. At least until it is out of beta.

Hulu Mini Review

I've been puttering around Hulu for a couple of weeks now and I can safely say that it has been an enjoyable experience. I've managed to catch up on 30 Rock, Family Guy, & The Simpson. In addition, I also watched a couple of minutes from the first episode of Doogie Howser, MD. The quality of playback and speed factor for me has been excellent, although I haven't had playback problems on NBC, CBS, ABC video sites.

There user interface is intuitive and has a couple of simple, useful features that I find myself using every time I watch an episode online. Like an option to dim the top #1 & bottom #2 navigation areas. From the action bars that flank the playing video, you can choose to go full screen, pop the video out, lower the lights (dim area #1 & #2), rate the video, share via email, embed the video on your site, view episode details or give feedback.
