YOUTH TAKE::THE FUTURE IS OUR FUTURE:: KID GEEKS!! - March 13, 2010 by Nico
NYC FIRST Robotics LIVE Webcast at NASA.robotics.gov  – Kids, Technology and Streaming Media!! Oh my! Recently me & my honey took the kids to the SONY Wonder Labs, which is a FREE interactive playground in NYC at the SONY building,  It was indeed “wonderful” and it also made me sad… Sad that I had missed out on so much back in the days of my misspent youth! Of course, none of this existed yet… so, what can you do?
Alas, NYC is finally becoming a breeding ground for fabulous geekdom!
Celebrating Kids Working Smart in Science and Technology

All FIRST programs are organized around two components:

  1. engaging teams of students in the process of technological innovation through the use of robotics; and
  2. bringing communities together to celebrate the achievements of students working smart in science and technology.

CAPSELA ROCKS!

I love the CAPSELA@

Nico’s Deep Thought:  I love to see the next, youngest generation as they enter the wonderful world of genius, geekdom!!  There wasn’t a competition around here in NYC for me in High School, we didn’t have computers in the schools yet!!  Not much Robotics (I did do Lego but Capsela was always my FAVORITE!!)  and a lot of Rube Goldberg, but that’s mostly physics!!
Oooh!  Have I said too much?  Well, I suppose I should keep the mystery alive and focus on tomorrow!
Defined Rube Goldberg designed inventions that made simple tasks much more complicated. Like this! (Who didn’t love watching Zoom growing up???)

2009 ENTERPRISE VIDEO YEAR IN REVIEW :: AVAILABLE NOW ONLINE :: @STREAMINGMEDIA.COM - February 27, 2010 by Nico

Another erratic take on the exciting world of Enterprise Video!!  Read how I predicted trends that came to fruition, the right and wrong of how 2009 became a “banner” year for our industry in the Enterprise:

2009 - A Banner Year

2009 - A Banner Year

The basic concept most enterprise organizations fail to acknowledge is that, as with any documentation or resource they use to communicate or to perform the organization’s day-to-day business, streaming media is in itself a digital record, and it is critical content that needs to be archived and kept relevant for future business efforts. And with media assets that bring to life the spirit of an all-staff meeting or that show a sales team how dynamic a speaker was when presenting a product or a service to a new prospect, we have the essence and the spirit of that success to reflect and build on. It’s also where we can evaluate our flaws in brilliant color and sound with supporting materials, feedback, and relevant metrics.

Virgin launches a new dongle :: PROMISE OF SPEED :: AND A SILLY HEADLINE - December 1, 2009 by Nico

Of course anyone who knows me knows why I have broken my silence after all this time to post this piece. I enjoy the word “dongle”.

Virgin claims that the new speed, twice that of its previously released 3.6Mpbs dongle, will give its users improvements in their email checking, streaming media and Internet browsing experiences.

Graeme Oxby, executive director of mobile at Virgin Media, said, “We’re thrilled to be offering this faster mobile broadband to our users. If you’re not at home or near a wireless connection, mobile broadband is the best way of staying connected on the move and we’re delighted to be making this a speedier, more pleasant experience for our customers.”
