Google Video Seeks a Bite of Apple’s Market (LA Times)
Chris Gaither at the LA Times wrote a good piece about this week’s announcement of Google Video, especially noting that anyone will be able to charge for their videos: Google Video Seeks a Bite of Apple’s Market. I think that over time, this could be huge. After all, you’d like to make some money off ...
Sony DCR-SR100 Hard Drive Camcorder
Last June, I noted JVC’s Everio line of hard drive-based camcorders. Now, Sony has introduced the DCR-SR100 ($1,100) (link via Gizmodo), a nifty camcorder with a 30 GB hard drive built in. They claim it can record up to 7 hours of DVD-quality video, but I want to know if it will record DV-quality (I’m ...
Sanyo HD1
Did I mention that I’m also going to CES (the Consumer Electronics Show) this week? I’m catching the tail end of it, but already there are things that I want to make a point of seeing. For example, Sanyo’s HD1 Digital Media Camera, a super-compact HD camcorder that records directly to SD media. It boasts ...

Looking Ahead to Macworld Expo 2006
I was out of the country for much of November and December, visiting relatives and going on safari in South Africa, which is why I haven’t updated this page in a while. You can view still photos here; I’ll post some video in the next few weeks. Why wait a few weeks? I’m headed to ...
Coffeehouse Successes and Failures
My office is located in the heart of Fremont, a funky artistic neighborhood in Seattle, which also happens to have three very good coffeeshops (Caffe Ladro, Fremont Coffee Company, and e.t.g.) and two half-decent ones (Starbucks, Peet’s Coffee & Tea), all within a four-minute walk. After grabbing a nice hot latté (at Ladro; I’m not ...
Last South Africa Photos
Leopard drinking Originally uploaded by Jeff Carlson. I’ve finally uploaded all of the South Africa photos that we rated 5-stars in iPhoto. Click the photo at right, or go to my South Africa Trip photo set. I’m also happy to report that jetlag seems to finally be passing, and life is getting back to normal. ...
Lions at Londolozi
Something on the horizon Originally uploaded by Jeff Carlson. We went on three wildlife tours while in South Africa. At the first, Hilltop Camp in Hluhluwe, we spotted one lion on a hilltop; you could see her face, but that was about it. At the second, the walking tour at Imfolozi, we didn’t see any ...
Home, and Photos!
Giraffe Originally uploaded by Jeff Carlson. As we were leaving the plane in Seattle tonight, I realized that my sister-in-law’s family have gone to bed twice since dropping us off at the airport in Johannesburg. It’s been a sometimes grueling 30-some-odd hours of airplane/airport travel, but now Kim and I are home. Home also means ...
South African Chocolate Bars
I don’t know why, but candy bars in other countries hold a particular fascination for me. It started in England, where I discovered all sorts of variations not found in the States (and I typically don’t buy much chocolate at home). Magical Cadbury vending machines are found in lots of locations, filled with bars offering ...
