THE DREAM IN ACTION

chilirec is like TiVo for internet radio. You log in, choose your music that you want to record, and within about 5 minutes you have music that has been recorded for you off the internet. chilirec then stores the music in “your personal space” on the web and you can return to listen to it [...]

I’ve just added the MyBlogLog widget to ActionsTalk. Be sure to join the community so that you can know who else reads ActionsTalk and we can begin to connect.

I once again feel obligated to apologize for my post bashing the Twitter faithfuls. It is truly an awesome and affective web app! I am now fully on board and would encourage any of you who are not yet sold to try it again. It took me two tries to see how useful the tool [...]

Must watch videos of Y-Combinators start-up school. http://omnisio.com/startupschool08  David Heinemeier Hansson at Startup School 08 My take: This guy is a riot and he makes a great great point. Where are the good Italian food placeson the web?   Mike Arrington at Startup School 08 My take: Really, you’re going to have technical difficulties at [...]

Post compliments of BlakeSamic.comTwo new applications I’ve been impressed with are Piclens and Animoto. Piclens is a plugin for Firefox that lets you view photos on the web in a new, completely immersive way. Once you have it installed, it integrates with all the major photo sharing sites: Flickr, Facebook, Google Images, Smugmug, etc. With [...]

Y Combinator news is down! Due to the community that is actively involved in Y Combinator it became one of my favorite news feeds to read. The combination of tech and entrepreneurial focus was awesome!  Now…it’s down.  Does anybody know what happened over there?

To go along with my recent acceptance of Twitter, I noticed that Twitter is the 5th largest Rails app. This is an interesting ranking of apps that use Rails. Check out (http://rails100.pbwiki.com/). Being some what familiar with the +’s and -’s of PHP, I’d like to learn more about Ruby and the Rails framework. If [...]

This is a project is a collaboration between the Interactive Media Division and the Institute for Creative Technologies at the University of Southern California. This video is yet another example of an awesome application of a mash-up of technologies. It will be fun to see the final product. “Viewfinder” is a novel method for users [...]

When MTV started airing ‘Elimidate’ (and other equally worthless shows) and permanently abandoned their roots, music, many were very upset. When Fall Out Boy became “Sell Out Boy” and abandoned their indie roots, many others were very upset. Pitchfork.tv provides and awesome combination of what MTV and Fall Out Boy stole from us, great indie [...]

Aren’t you getting tired of hearing people talk about the Work – Life balance? I am, and it’s mostly because I don’t understand the concept. It’s not that I work 80 hours a week, or than I don’t have a social life, because I do, I have a great one. The confusion is derived from [...]

and it’s still pretty lame.

I’ve recently download the instant message aggregator Pidgin v2.4.1.  Here are a few findings: I like… With an impressive power of customization, Pidgin comes with all the good stuff provided by the former Gaim. The text-only version that they call Finch (birds…get it), the app allows you to chat with your buddies from a command [...]

It’s great when a company can be successful, helpful, and assist the common good. It’s not often that companies, at least profitable ones, can achieve all of these at the same time. A great example of a company that has summited this challenge is Sourceforge.net. SourceForge.net is the world’s largest Open Source software development web [...]

One of the goals that I set when I first started writing on ActionsTalk is that 100 people would read the site in one day. Well finally, (a lot later than I thought) I reached that goal. On March 15th we had 132 unique visits to the site. As you can see one day later [...]

This is 3 parts creepy and 5 parts amazing. This video puts a robot project by Boston Dynamics on display. I can guarantee that you will be impressed by this. Most especially by the ability of this robot to correct its near fall on the ice (half way through video). Again I apologize for all [...]
