"Tumbltape turns any Tumblr blog into a playlist."

"Photosynth is a potent mixture of two independent breakthroughs: the ability to reconstruct the scene or object from a bunch of flat photographs, and the technology to bring that experience to virtually anyone over the Internet."

Using techniques from the field of computer vision, Photosynth examines images for similarities to each other and uses that information to estimate the shape of the subject and the vantage point each photo was taken from. With this information, we recreate the space and use it as a canvas to display and navigate through the photos.

"Wikipedia is an undeniably helpful resource for researching bands, with fairly accurate data that tends to be updated in near real time. Amazon hopes the same sort of thing will happen on its new SoundUnwound site, which borrows a page from Wikipedia's playbook by allowing users to edit information about any band, label, album or song."

Good to see that DirecTiVo is coming back.

"…while the glitches are important to point out, overall Outside Lands was an impressive event. There was a sense among all the people I spoke with that we were part of something special, from the chance to walk through long stretches of the park in misty darkness (as packs of bikers cycled by) at the end of the night, to the colored lights shining up against the trees bordering the stages, to the way that for a 60,000 strong crowd, no crush was totally unbearable (well, the beer lines were a little annoying)"
