Google Wave and Microsoft Bing.
Don’t have the chance to try them now, but the sample photos are quite interesting, will try when they come live.
Join us June 1st @ 10am PT for the Bing Webcast
Want more Bing? How about an interactive Webcast where we’ll walk you through all the cool features in our new decision engine. Sure you could read the Product Guide (located here) but that would require, you know, reading. Better just to watch.
Plus, while you can talk to the Product Guide it likely won’t respond (and if it does let us know – I thought we fixed that bug). Our webcast will let you interact with the presenter by asking questions throughout the session!
How do you join in the fun? Three easy steps:
1) Set your alarm clocks for 10AM Pacific Daylight Time, Monday, June 1.
2) Point your browser to http://ms.istreamplanet.com/search (I’d do this before 10AM just to make sure you’ve got what you need to watch the stream)
3) Sit quietly and watch the ‘cast OR engage by typing questions in the player.
That’s it! Tell your friends. Tell your neighbors. Tell people you don’t even know. Post it on Facebook. The Bing Webcast– no prompters, no scripts, 100% danger.
Stefan Weitz, Director, Bing
Notepad as Diary – Useful Tip
For people who use notepad to write down any info on a day to day basis (like diary):
1. Open a blank Notepad file
2. Write .LOG as the first line of the file, followed by a enter. Save the file and close it.
3. Double-click the file to open it and notice that Notepad appends the current date and time to the end of the file and places the cursor on the line after.
4. Type your notes and then save and close the file.
5. Each time you open the file, Notepad repeats the process, appending the time and date to the end of the file and placing the cursor below it.

Watch HDTV Over The Air (OTA)
Bought a Philips indoor HDTV/TV/FM antenna. Tested from my home as North as Major Mac, it can find around 10 HD channels on a day with perfect weather like today. If it can pass the tests on a rainy day, I will put all the wires inside the wall and call Rogers say bye-bye.
Called Rogers early this month and cancelled HD box subscription. Then I changed to a TERK HDTVa indoor antenna last week. This one is more powerful and can get 17 stable high definition channels. Here is the list of channels I’ve found.
| 2.1 | NBC HD | Buffalo | |
| 4.1 | CBS HD | Buffalo | |
| 5.1 | CBLT | CBC HD | Toronto |
