No longer a virgin: Online voting
I have now done my first online real voting (not the normal online voting stuff) but a real political issue! The question was if the central street down town should be for busses only (for all Americans, the kind of vehicle that more than person rides at a time 😉 or for busses and cars. I obviously voted for the former (not having either drivers license or car). I have actually voted twice tonight. Johanna was to lazy to do it herself!
As of 22.26 tonight I am no longer an online voting virgin.
Human Powered Bus !!
As some of my dear readers might have noticed I am very fond of human powered vehicles and I just got a mail about a Human Powered Bus! Check it out! Note the small numbers at the bottom of the page with links to more images of the bus!

Video conferencing research direction
I just read an old paper (1992-93) entitled “Why Do Users Like Video? Studies of Multimedia-Supported Collaboration” by John C. Tang and Ellen Isaacs. The paper is long paper and reports on an investigation they did within SUN regarding different video conferencing solutions. They write many good points but one thing really stood out:
“Rather, we should strive to understand how new forms of interaction can be integrated with the existing ones into people’s day-to-day work”
Too much research in this area today is done on the technical details underneath ( that is what I got my PhD in!).
Revisions come and go….
Mikael Drugge wrote this small poem…
“The Wheel of Time turns, and Revisions come and go.
What was, what will be published, and what is PA7,
may yet fall under the Reviewers.”

New camera? Pentax Optio S
The new Pentax Optio S looks very good. It is the first ultra compact camera to have 3x optical zoom. It is about half the size of an Ixus and weights 115 g (with battery and memory). Links: DPreview, Pentax USA, CyberPhoto.
