It’s not everyday you see a huge company pay tribute to a web 2.0 idea, let alone not try and take any credit for it. Even more impressive, embrace the way it was meant to work. If you haven’t been over to dellideastorm.com, you’re missing a small piece of history, and Kevin Rose must be excited about the propps.

This is perfect.

My buddy just sent me this link, it’s great listening to all the amazing aspects of the web at the time they made this (1993 in Canada).

1993, wow. Pretty sure at the time I was on Compuserve or maybe Prodigy, running around a 9600Baud modem and connecting to a couple local BBS user groups in LA. Anyone remember BaudTown? I used to know the owner.. Ivan. Wow still remember his name. That was good times; watching people type as they hit the keys, you don’t really get that anymore. Amazing that at the time I was a kid in junior high looking for pictures, chat buddies, teaching myself html and one of the few people in school to bring in printed reports with the Dot Matrix. Now I have a wireless connection thousands of times faster, a computer with the speed of probably millions more, a monitor with more then 16 colors, writing math algorithms and class applications in PHP, use a camera that I can take pictures with Raw pixels and in minutes share them with the world, and a printer capable of making life-like wall-size prints when I want to hang them.

What the hell will I be doing in 2015.

Nothing like being a smart-ass engineer mad at the local tel-co, aye? Haha. Love it.

Good memories of being on the field at recess trying to see who could get their paper airplane to fly the farthest. Wish I had the resources of today to stump those punks who would put paper clips to the front for more forward weight.. Low-tech has a great video animation, and of course who could forget the vulture.

I know this is old news but I’m catching up with the Hollywood/Web world now that life is settling back down.

Fantastic.
