Check in? Done on a tablet PC in your room. Check out? Just leave. Makes things easier, faster and it's environmentally responsible (and don't worry, your bill is e-mailed to you that day).Jacobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07434024239426335697noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470156001821983229.post-4966758030259023392009-06-16T11:24:00.002-04:002009-06-16T11:26:29.894-04:00GIFs that make you laugh.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA0GqO1QfY11l4UMsvLOB4ZSkXr0XZLwtkCqVyPQjaWYRRT7T9c6SaeyOfhmQyF753LyA87cdqOWI4oCkAGmhKeV7c8_7Akp0LJbQxAIzYw45E9XAkXghoyS6qA1mRvIoNYSmp2WWAnxL0/s1600-h/download_internet.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 212px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA0GqO1QfY11l4UMsvLOB4ZSkXr0XZLwtkCqVyPQjaWYRRT7T9c6SaeyOfhmQyF753LyA87cdqOWI4oCkAGmhKeV7c8_7Akp0LJbQxAIzYw45E9XAkXghoyS6qA1mRvIoNYSmp2WWAnxL0/s400/download_internet.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347947120654980914" /></a><br />Courtesy of <a href="http://goinglikesixty.com/2009/06/geeky-animated-gif-monday-7/">Going Like Sixty</a>, this is, well, pretty good.Jacobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07434024239426335697noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470156001821983229.post-15991433487384001542009-04-15T12:34:00.003-04:002009-04-15T12:37:06.736-04:00Juice Box CamerasI stumbled across a fun little product that I posted to <a href="http://www.trendhunter.com">TREND HUNTER</a> a couple of days ago - <a href="http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juice-box-cameras">Juice Box Cameras</a>. They're actual cameras hidden inside rather gross sounding juice boxes.<br /><br />While only manual versions (35 mm) are currently available, no doubt a digital camera version is not too far down the road. They are the work of a Japanese design firm. Who else would come up with European Supermarket Mania as a flavor?Jacobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07434024239426335697noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470156001821983229.post-54296954854368716492009-03-16T18:11:00.003-04:002009-03-16T18:15:30.533-04:00Ethos Water SucksI think Ethos water is a ridiculous scam. I say this, by the way, while being a relatively loyal Starbucks customer (probably 5x a week) - but I just can't help but get really peeved.<br /><br />Take a look at this article from <a href="http://www.trendhunter.com/">TrendHunter.com</a>: <a href="http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charity-profiteering-the-ethos-water-scam">http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charity-profiteering-the-ethos-water-scam</a>. <a href="http://www.jeremygutsche.com">Jeremy Gutsche</a> does a great job exposing this fraud. 5 cents a bottle as a donation when the bottle costs $4? Pass. Get bent, Ethos. I'm buying a $1 bottle (or drinking from the fountain) and donating to a real charity.<br /><br />End rant.Jacobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07434024239426335697noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470156001821983229.post-54723494422611821672009-03-05T09:55:00.001-05:002009-03-05T09:57:17.270-05:00DNA RadioI wrote on Trend Hunter about how you can "listen" to the Human Genome thanks to DNA rainbow.<br /><br />Here out the post here: http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dna-radio-human-genome-internet. 23.5 years will be required to air the whole thing...so lots of opportunity to check it out.Jacobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07434024239426335697noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470156001821983229.post-35385479488644556682009-02-04T10:48:00.000-05:002009-02-04T10:50:00.500-05:00Memoir ProductionsThis is a pretty cool new venture out of Toronto.
