What is Augmented Reality (AR)?

Here's a good video that explains AR, e.g. "a new technology that adds a layer of useful information to the "reality" we see on screens of mobile phone and computers" bit.ly/HlBT5J - Augmented Reality - Explained by Common Craft (Free Version) - YouTube

In the video, they say look for AR glasses in the future. The future is soon. Google to Sell Heads-Up Display Glasses by Year's End (bits.blogs.nytimes.com)

Which augmented reality video goggles should I buy?

I am very interested in finding a viable solution to seeing and recording my life through video eye glasses or goggles. Which augmented reality video goggles should I buy? Hmmmm. Let's see. I should look at the Technology Singularity Facebook group that I am a member of, and see if there's any existing discussion regarding goggles.

What is "Xyzzy"?

I often use xyzzy instead of using xyz, abc, and the like. This tends to make it easier to find later.

Wikipedia says that, 

"Xyzzy is a magic word from the Colossal Cave Adventure computer game. In computing, the word is sometimes used as a metasyntactic variable or as a video", Xyzzy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I just found that there's an "Xyzzy.com" website, where "You are in a twisty maze of passages, all alike."

Want to play Adventure?

I do! :-)

I think I'll play for a while :-)

Searching for "goggles snowcrash", I discovered www.technovelgy.com

Looking further, to see what this site has in regards to Rainbow's End, found:

Enhance your Google Search with CustomizeGoogle, Feedly and SearchCloudlet

Notice, in this image, three sections, that occur before the actual results of the Google search...

• The first section, "Try your search on" is from an add-on called CustomizeGoogle*.
  
• The second, "Explore Feedly for...", is from an add-on called Feedly.
  
• The third section, "Cloudlet..." is from an add-on called SearchCloudlet.

* The specific Preference is called "Add links to other web search sites", for Google Web Search, and "Add links to other image/photo/art search sites" for Google Images. And similar things for Google News, Video, and Blogs.

TIP: Drag a webpage's URL from Location bar, or from a tab, within a browser or amongst browsers

You can click on the icon of a webpage that you are visting, to another browser, or open it in a new tab by dragging it to the Tab area.

This works within* a browser, and amongst** browsers! Moreover, you can also drag them amongst browsers, e.g. Firefox, Flock, Safari, SeaMonkey Navigator, and even IE (Internet Explorer) - but, not Opera.

Stop neglecting reading multiple email accounts - Use Gmail to send from your other email addresses - Adding a custom 'From' address

Q: Do you have multiple email addresses? Do you ever neglect reading any of your email addresses?

A: If you answered yes to either question, you can benefit from using Gmail to combine* all of your email addresses to a single Gmail account *AND* be able to send "as" any of your email addresses.  After you've set up your email accounts within Gmail, you can then send as any of your email addresses, from the Compose window, use the "From" pop-up field to select the desired account**.

*Google (Gmail Help) explains how to do this with "Adding a custom 'From' address", for example, start by going to Settings–>Accounts - under "Send mail as," click " Add another email address you own"

Gmail - Add another email address you own - example

** for example:

Gmail - Send as or from any of your email addresses

Broadband outage - 2Wire 3800HGV-B Gateway router

Image via Wikipedia

Recently we had a Broadband outage at home. It lasted for more than 24 hours. The cause, as it turns out, was that the 30 second electrical outage, due to the replacement of the power meter by PG&E, broke something within the 2Wire router (for our AT&T U-verse), model 3800HGV-B Gateway . Over the phone, the tech support agent had asked me to power cycle the router, and then to 'reset' the router. These did not resolve the issue, so someone was dispatched.

After reviewing all of the connections, over the course of more than 3 hours, the onsite technician reset the router. This time, that the router was reset, the reset button was held down for 30 seconds, as opposed to the 15 seconds which was recommended by the tech support agent.

Hopefully, the onsite representative will tell his teammates *and* the tech support center, that 30 seconds works better than 15 seconds. But, he may not tell, as he may be embarrassed that he had not tried that at the beginning of his visit, before spending the 3+ hours troubleshooting it as a connectivity issue.

research into the effects of notifications

"There has been a considerable amount of research into the effects of notifications. People have studied the negative effects of interruptions in terms of task performance and emotional state, and have even created models to predict the cost of interruptions. It turns out, interrupting the user is bad." blog.mozilla.com/faaborg/2007/03/06/would-you-like-to-redesign-notification-in-firefox-yes-not-now-never/
