Tangelo 1.1 is going to be really cool.

“The Night Patti Smith Dreamed Of Elizabeth Cotton” by Neo Pseudo

Looks like a test audio file works–it’s here if you want the hard link.

The RSS feed is here.

Nope, it’s not mine. It’s this one. Made me laugh.

Well, folks, Tangelo was released on Tuesday February 1st. You may have heard of this website/weblog creation tool–it’s the fruit of over a year of work by Brad Rhine. I’m working with Brad to market it, and this website has been a Tangelo experiment since Christmastime (I chose the ugly purple color, though–have to change the template again).

I’m writing this post in Tangelo–what a sweet program.

It’s really just the beginning–there are big plans for Tangelo. I’m really excited.

Got a couple of comments on the weblog in the last few days after a dry spell. I was glad to see Bill post again–now I know someone sees this thing again.

Between Joe, Bill, and the Steve guy who commented the other day, I know to whom I should target my writing audience!

I should, like, maybe write a story about a talented, unique music guy who hikes through the third world. Yeah, with his backpack and sad piano music. Because when he gets angry, he changes into a huge hulking…..

Wait. I think that thought segued into something that’s been done before.

Or else Mike got added to the target audience mix.

😉

It’s in beta but go to http://video.google.com to see what’s up. Search on any term or name.

I’m not quite sure what to say. It’a Les Paul all right–check out the story.

Because Lego Escher is just too cool.

This one is cool, too.

I’ve been saying this for six months, but no one will believe me. With H.264 compression, Quicktime, and the iTunes store, Apple will find a way to sell video to you over the Internet just like it does with iTunes music. All the pieces were demonstrated in July, and now in January the industry partnerships have begun to emerge. Cringely puts it well–check out his column this week. The Mac Mini may be the first of such video devices, but it won’t be the last. I also look for package deals from Apple: buy a Mac Mini and a movie membership or gift certificate to the iTunes video store, get a nice package price. Add a nice Sony HDTV to that and you’ve got a deal. Or buy the TV and get the Mac Mini. However you want it.

Not quite.
