These two trucks were driving side by side for about 5 minutes and blocked the E12 mortorway. It seems the two drivers were having a good chat.
In summer evenings, there are often hot air baloons flying over our house. This one was not so lucky with its air journy. I saw it flying lower and lower when I was roller-skating on the bicycle route along Ring II in Espoo. The baloon landed about 100 meters in front our house and struggled to lift up and flew few hundred meters north and finally settled in field. Passengers onboard seemed quite relaxed with the incident, laughing and taking photos for each other. Half an hour later, a van drove in, packed the baloon and tolled the 'basket' away.
Can you believe this is 10:38pm, in southern Finland? The flip side is that the sky may look very much like this at 10:00am in December.
The Time 100 , the cover story of the 8 May 2006 special issue of Time, includes familiar internet brands and names:
- Jimmy Wales, creater of Wikipedia,
- Steward Butterfield & Caterina Fake, founders of Flickr,
- Chris DeWolfe & Tom Anderson, the creators of MySpace.com,
- Omid Kordestani, Google, and
- Niklas Zennström & Janus Friis, founders of Skype.
So many Internet and Web2.0 highflier are among the 'most influential people who shape our world'. Internet and Web2.0 heyday seems just around the corner.
After reading CNET’s AllYouCanUpload Is Disruptive from
Techcrunch, I immediately tried the service by uploading some junk images. Why junk only? Because I really wonder where my uploaded images will end up with and who can view/modify them.
Uploading is truely easy - but no batch uploading. In the end I got a screen listing varies links to the thumbnails and original images.
I continued with sign-up to Webshots expecting that all images I just uploaded will be automatically collected into my album. No. I can't find any way to link my images to my Webshot home page! Or I am just too dumb to find it out?
Not surprisingly, I lost track of 3 of the 4 images I uploaded.
I don't get the point at all why this could be so 'disruptive'.
It reminds of some similar projects in Beijing.
