The most annoying mac user at the same time the Windows Mobile 5.0 users is no good sync application for MAC. That’s why Missing Sync 2.5.1 amazed me! Very nice application, even with the i-tune and iphoto plug-in.
Not a free ware, US$39.95. Well, relative a small amount to the PPC mobile.

Nintendo smash Xbox and Play Station again! You can keep updating your rendering engine, real-time, online, complexity. Nintendo stand firm for the nature of GAME itself! Touch Generations arouse our attendtion on “Playing” not the graphic. Bit Generations this time, again, to emphaize Nintendo is a GAME philosopher. Focusing on GAME and PLAY. Next time, don’t sending me a big trailer on high-end real-time fast ray-trace online rendering game console trailer, I just love the GAME, simple, controlable and understandable interface, not the fancy graphics, okay?

I’ve talked about FTIR Multitouch before, many times. Just found out this video which is damn cool presentation by Jeff Han on TED talks. His presentation as great as Steve Jobs in WWDF. Well, talent is talent, born to be presentable.

I wanna buy miniMoog, no no no, I should say it this way: I wanna buy Moog series for a long time. It is almost impossible or even a dream because of the damn high shipping cost, I wish I have one in studio…if I won the Mark Six.

In the meantime, softsynth is my only choice. Moog Modular V, miniMoog V, around US$150 each. Arturia Analog Factory can satisfy part of my dream to own both and even more analog soft synth. Of course, not full synth. It’s a “compilation”, “best of the best”…blahblahblah. Well, not full, but suit.

Wired Nextfest是除ars electronica之外每年”恨”到的media festival，近年對nextfest的熱情比ars electronica更旺盛，可能是ars electronica的作品每況愈下吧。
今年Nextfest有近來大熱，今年的Microwave也會展出的Khrono Projector, 作為分類the future of design最搶鏡的作品。the future of entertainment找來BrainBall和Ｌaptop Orchestra。The future of plays有Kick Ass Kung-fu。還有更多更多……..

總之恨去。
今年九月廿九至十月一。還有一個多月，希望中六合彩。
