Great Caesar’s ghost, I’ve been working all morning and I still haven’t had a single billable hour. What the heck.

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could hook up an 802.11g wireless card to your TiVo in one room and stream video wirelessly to your Mac in another? True, streaming video requires a great deal of bandwidth, but theoretically if you made the window small, you know, just small enough so you could stick it […]

OK, well, yes, you probably have seen these, if you’re a longtime reader of this blog, but I thought I’d plug the six new additions I’ve made to geoffreylong.com/portfolio/interactive – BroadReach, Kate Erin Photography, The Black Sea Trading Company, Sound Advice, the blue version of Inkblots, and the redesign of RBB Systems.
