Time To Get The Band Back Togather!

 

Back in the day (early 80"s to be exact), my buddies and I were captivated by a new channel that cropped up on our cable TV system called MTV.  After seeing the same (40) videos over and over we all came to the quick realization that we should form a band of our own.  After all, if "Men Without Hats" could make a video why couldn't we?  Shortly there after our band "Son of A" was born.  Well are dreams of becoming famous and chick magnets were dashed when our lead singer told us he was moving to Omaha Nebraska, the dream died right then and there and I never picked up a guitar again.  Why have I bored you all with this tragic tale from the 80"s?  A new piece of software that I played with last night called eJamming which really made we wonder "what if" this software and the Internet would have been available back in the early 80"s?    Essentially, eJamming is a piece of software that allows musicians and bands to jam in real time across the net.  I was skeptical about latency issues and sound quality when I first downloaded the software but I was very surprised by the quality of the session and the software's ability to allow you to jam with others in another state or country.  Who knows maybe "Son of A" has a future after all!!

Google Calendar Screenshots

Via TechCrunch

The first "real" screen shots of the very secretive Google Calendar Program have been posted over at TechCrunch.  I am very impressed with the screen shots and the general features of the service.  After some recent "misses"; Google Video, Google Talk, it seems as if Google got this one right!

Must See!! Windows Live Local Technology Review

This is a must see!!  Go To Windows Live Local Technology Review, they have implemented a new service for San Francisco and Seattle that allows you to "virtually" drive from one address to another and even look at store fronts.  I have seen the future of GPS today and it's amazing!!

Netvibes rocks

I would highly recommend that everyone checkout the web site netvibes, this site uses AJAX extensively and is very customizable.  Give it a try, I bet many of you will make it your home page.
