Am I Internet famous? I doubt it…but our scooters are!
It turns out someone has uploaded a picture I took in 2007 to wikipedia.org. Brian Johnson and I had just picked up our new Aprilia SR50R Factory scooters.

Ubiquity Prototype Released by Mozilla Labs
Has our ability to easily work with all of the data and APIs available on the web been handicapped?
I’ve been thinking there must be a better way for non-technical users to work with Google Maps, flickr, search, and Wikipedia - and a better way for us all to post to Twitter among other things. Mozilla Labs may have provided the answer with Ubiquity.
Ubiquity for Firefox from Aza Raskin on Vimeo.
As a preface to the installation instructions: I initially posted began posting instructions because it appeared that installation on Mac OSX would be a little complicated. However, installing Ubiquity turns out to be really easy on either Mac or Ubuntu.
Installation on Mac OSX 10.5:
(10.5.4 tested, but should work on all versions)
Just visit the Ubiquity Introduction Post at the Mozilla Labs Blog and click the link to Install the Prototype. (Or, just click here.)
Installation on Ubuntu 8.04:
(This should work on all versions of Linux running FireFox 3)
Same as Mac OSX, just visit Ubiquity Introduction Post at the Mozilla Labs Blog and click the link to Install the Prototype. (Or, here.)
Got it installed? Now, you could visit the tutorial if you want, or you could head over here and get more verbs.
I have just started using Ubiquity this morning, and while I am a big fan of the Webkit and Safari, I could easily see Ubiquity taking me back to becoming a consistent FireFox user.
What do you think?

VMWare Fusion 2 Beta 2 Released
VMWare Fusion 2 Beta 2 includes Unity 2.0, mirroring of Mac folders, virtual machine snapshots, video improvements, and better memory management. I regularly run Windows XP and Ubuntu 8.04 using VMWare, and it really is quite impressive already. I’ll be testing out the beta today.

Plainview: Full Screen Browser Based on WebKit
Plainview is a great new tool for web designers and others to present web based media in a full screen presentational view. I’m with the Barbarian Group on this one, I don’t do PowerPoint! (Although, I am getting savvy with Keynote)

John Mayer in London @ Brixton Academy
To finish up our European trip, Sarah and I spent a day in London, rode the tube, rented a car and drove on the wrong side of the rode, and went to see John Mayer at Carling Brixton Academy for an amazing evening concert.
Joined by less than 5000 Londoners (mostly), we sweated in the former [...]
