Binary marble adding machine
Now this is cool. This is a 6-bit binary wooden adding machine counts using marbles. The video is pretty amazing. A lot of work was put into this.

More iApp annoyance
I have been starting to have frustrating experiences with Apple’s iApps. In this post, I mentioned my frustrations with iTunes and FrontRow. Now I am having a frustrating time with iPhoto, where it is not doing exactly what I want.
Last night I wanted to upload some photos to our gallery. The complication arrises because we have a couple of coputers. My wife uses her computer to load the photos from the camera. I was trying to upload the photos from my computer.
I use unison to upload the iPhoto library to an external server. Then I use unison on my laptop and our Mac mini to copy the photos back down. This worked fine until we upgraded our camera. Now the large photo size of our 5 mega-pixel camera swamps our upload bandwidth.
iPhone Walkthrough
Apple has posted an iPhone guided tour video on their web site. I like it a lot, but I am still unsure of the usability with out any tactile feedback. Also I am concerned about the screen getting scratched. In addition to those two concerns, I don’t want to switch to AT&T for cell service.

Crystal Weather Station
This is a cool looking weather station. The Crystal Weather Station has laser engraved 3D icons in crystal. One of the coolest things about this clock is that you can switch between temperature and clock mode by waving you hand over the clock.

autoHideStatusbar
autoHideStatusbar is a pretty simple Firefox extension, that… automatically hides the status bar. This is an easy way to squeeze a little screen area for your browser window.
You can configure it to automatically show the status bar when you hover the mouse over the the status bar area, or over a link (to see the destination url).
