140Novel, the novel being written on twitter

This is an interesting idea. A novel written completely on Twitter. The 140 Novel is a novel being by 3 people writing a single sentence each time (That’s where the name 140 comes from, the character limit on twitter) in a single twitter account. The 3 guys are CNET’s Tom Merritt, Molly Wood and their producer Jason Howell, as well as Leo Laporte from TWiT.tv. It’s something they came up with when Leo was a guest at Tom and Molly’s Buzz Out Loud podcast epsiode 646.

It’s a pretty interesting idea. It reminded me of how when I was a kid I used to play this game called the 4 words game where we try to make a story by coming up with 4 words each. Except this time it’s 140 characters.

Do go check it out. It’s starting to become a science fiction. I think I’ll definetly be following the novel and see how it develops.

The iSkin Evo3

iSkin Evo3

That is the top item on my wishlist now! *hint hint* Costs US$35 (About 50 to 60 SGD?), and is really awesome. It says it can even be used with the Universal Dock! I wonder if it means that I don’t use any adapter at all, or if I use the 5G adapter. Well, I’m going to claim that in His name! Amen!

An Apple boombox?

This is an interesting article. http://www.appleinsider.com/article.php?id=1412

AppleInsider says that there’s a chance that Apple might go into more than just computers and audio players. Hmm. I mean, with all that talk about the new Mac Mini DVR, sounds feasible to me. For all we know, the new Mac Mini might be that boom box. Well, all I hope is that it will work in Singapore. Apple!! Don’t forget us Singaporeans! We want iTunes too!!

Treo Linux?

Some guy managed to get Linux to boot on his Treo 650. Seems like everyone’s trying to get Linux into all the coolest gadgets around. I’m

Konfabulator becomes Yahoo Widgets

Konfabulator just got updated to version 3, and has been renamed the Yahoo Widgets Engine. Not much change on the surface other than added Yahoo-specific widgets. There are probably lots of internal enhancements though. Personally, I think Konfabulator sounds nicer, but that’s just me. Go update it if you haven’t!

Oh, and like any other Yahoo software, be careful when you install it, and make sure you take note and decide if you want to let Yahoo change your Internet settings to match Yahoo’s. Why can’t Google be the one who bought Konfabulator? :P
