WatchFlowers by D90, by stoiQa
I’ve become increasingly interested in photography and video as a hobby. For a while, I’ve debated purchasing either my first DSLR or a HD camcorder. This weekend, I went to the store to check out the Nikon D90, which combines both still photography and some video capabilities. It’s tough to justify $1,300 on a toy - especially when I have no...

WatchBob Dylan / Johnny Cash :: 1969 Sessions
Dylan and Cash recorded a number of songs together over three recording sessions in 1969. The collaboration between these two legendary poet musicians wasn’t released until 2005. Here’s a playlist of about two dozen songs from those sessions via Aquarium Drunkard.

Google Voice Recognition / Voice Search API
Last night, Google launched a new version of their iPhone app that supports voice search. Instead of typing, you just hold the phone up to your ear, speak the search term into your phone, and Google returns matching search results. It’s not perfect. I tried to search on my own name, Joe Lazarus, and the first attempt returned search results for “trailblazer” (flattering, but...

WatchiPhone Ocarina: MGMT - Kids
In my senior spring of high school, four friends and I convinced our school to let us hike the Appalachian Trail for three months as class credit. During that trip, we met another hiker who wore a small flute-like instrument called an ocarina as a necklace. I liked the idea of a small, portable instrument that you always have with you. Today I found the modern day...

126 Tumblrs
Several months ago, I set a rule for myself that I would cap the number of people I follow on Tumblr at 126 people. It’s a somewhat arbitrary number based on an even row of avatars shown in the sidebar of my site at that time. Since then, every time I add a new follow, I make myself remove someone else. It gets harder and harder with each add, but I like the forced editing. Many more...

I’m not usually a sucker for the cute overload stuff, but this is quite possibly the greatest thing on the internet right now. I’ve tuned in probably 20 times this week. I recommend the full-screen version for optimal cuteness viewing.

WatchCelebrating Obama’s Win
Apparently, it wasn’t just my neighborhood that was literally dancing in the streets last night. This is a slide show with hundreds of Flickr photos from the party around the country and the world. The marching band street party here in the Mission was incredible. On my walk home, I was high-five’d by a random guy riding by on a bike… twice. ...
