Another great video from Bill Hill. I hope you guys realise that you have a real gem in that man.

And I didn't find the video "a bit long" at all. In Bill's company, the time just flies by, and the content is fascinating and interesting to boot.

Thanks.

The Deja View - what a great idea! Simple, but great - as the best ideas usually are.

Another interesting video - and in its opening minutes, Gordon casually mentions that Tony Hoare is coming to visit him...

Ohmigod - this is Sir Charles Antony Richard Hoare - another of computing's gods...

Many thanks for this video - good to see something of the MyLifebits work - and to see Gordon Bell again.

I know that I'm getting old when I read that Scoble needs to point out who Gordon Bell is for the sake of the younger generation, and when I hear on the video that Charles did not seem to have heard of Vannevar Bush and the Memex...

While the demos were interesting, to me, the most valuable part of this video was Kevin talking at the end about the need to share the work in research with others. That is the scientific method at work. Long may it continue.

I'm really struck by Kharsim's post on tagging by spatial location. That seems to me such a logical thing to want to do, and I for one can't wait until digital cameras have the GPS capability foretold by Kharsim.

Brilliant. But why do we have to wait for Longhorn? If it has been programmed in "DirectX" then why can't we have it now?
