As frankps sees the world!

Yesterday my Last.fm user profile passed 8.000 scrobbled songs, and I will continue to scrobble my music. Now where did that word come from? Scrobble? Last.fm is one of the few web services (Flickr is the other one) that I really use. I have never taken part in the Facebook hype, nor do I plan to. This week I also read that the DNB (Den Norske Bank – Norway’s biggest bank) in Second Life had 2-5 visitors a day, my Second Life experience lasted for about 15 minutes. A classical […] Continue reading →

My good friend Péter Kenderesi was writing about Egon és Dönci, a new Hungarian animation movie. Well, I haven’t see it yet, but the HD music video released on their web page is amazing!

So what did I end up with? A pair of WeSC Street phones. Ever heard of WeSC? No, neither had I. WeSC stands for WeAretheSuperlativeConspiracy, and is actually a clothes company! I know, I know, there’s a slogan that goes something like this: “You […] Continue reading →

Yesterday I got my hands on a eBook reader, and I got mighty impressed. The Bookeen Cybook ePaper has the perfect size and is therefor easy to carry around. As I work on computers all day long, and have to stare on back lit LCD displays, I have been quite skeptical to eBooks. In fact, if the document I am to read is longer then 2-3 A4 pages, I prefer to print it out. I swear that I could feel my eyes relaxing when I read on the Cybook, it is the closest thing to reading paper that I have [...] […] Continue reading →
