Apple's Knowledge Navigator Video

Here are a couple of fun videos from ten+ years ago. Look to see what's actually possible now (mash-ups?), or what's still science fiction ("Minority Report"?)

Apple's Knowledge Navigator Video
Apple's famous Knowledge Navigator concept video which was released in 1998. John Udell founds a copy of this video, and wow - in many cases Apple was spot on target!! This was one of my favorites.

Buster is a (Grand) Champion!


Buster earned his Flyball Grand Champion (FGDCh-30) today at the Pawdemonium e-Races Tournament in San Jose. That's 30,000 points, or 1200 25-point runs, or 6000 5-point runs, or 15,000 2-point runs, or 30,0000 1-point runs, or (infinite) number of 0-point runs! (or some combination!) What a little trooper!

Good job, Buster!

Buster and his Grand Champion ball!
