Some of you may like the latest Windows Live Messenger 2011 but I am sure that there are others that hated it. First of all is the missing show my webcam feature that it is replaced with the Video call button, and secondly is the first and last name appearing to contacts rather than the [...]

The Proper Way to Fully Install Intel Chipset Driver

Posted: 28 Feb 2011 12:00 AM PST


When I was in my teens and started to learn about fixing computers, one of the first thing I remembered learning was the proper order to install drivers. Installing Windows now is much more simplified and easy compared to Windows 95/98 because we don’t need to use a DOS bootup floppy disk, and the vast [...]

In Chapter 1 of Natural User Interfaces in .NET,  Josh Blake asks and answers a question posed by many people who have been under the spell of keyboard input and GUI/ WIMP interaction: 


Why bother switching from GUI to NUI?  The answer?  Read Chapter 1 (pdf) of the book - the chapter is free.


Here are a few of my personal reasons:  
1.  I want to buy the next version of the iPad or something like it.

2.  I want to buy a new large-screen Internet HD TV.
3.  I want to buy a Kinect.
4.  I do NOT want to interact with my new TV with a Sony remote.  Too many tiny buttons!


5. I do NOT want to interact with my new TV with a keyboard,  because it reminds me of...work.

6.  Most importantly: 

I want to design apps for the people I care about, and others with similar needs:
    My mom.  
    My grandson.
Moms and dads with kids in tow.
People with special needs and/or health concerns, and the people who care and guide them.
Knowledge sharers and (life-long) learners....

A little off-topic: Slideshow of my cell phone camera effects experiments at Amelie's French Bakery, NoDa, Charlotte, NC.

Posted: 26 Feb 2011 05:32 AM PST

I dropped my nephew off at the airport before the crack of dawn this morning, and took the opportunity to visit Amelie's French Bakery in the NoDa neighborhood of Charlotte (NC). The croissant was awesome and the coffee hit the spot. It occurred to me that I'd never checked out the camera effects features on my cellphone.

Below is a slideshow of my experiments - there are many pictures of the same "scene", with different effects. (The flash was on for some of the pictures, and off for others.)
