TOGAF 9 overview as a Prezi presentation

Prezi offers an ingenious way for navigating information and large documents. I quickly knocked this together going over the details of the first 5 parts of TOGAF 9 based on my previous overview document.

Follow up on 3D TV

As a quick follow up on my '3D TV is just around the corner' post I note that Samsung have a very impressive line up of 3D TV solutions with one big TV at on $3300

Now all that's needed is the content to catch up. To be honest I think games will still lead the way and it'll wait for consoles to support the technology before adoption increases significantly.

Note to self on April Fools posts - The Facebook Cap

They need to be done earlier in the day. Still I like my idea in this one - how much does a patent cost these days...

Affordable 3D video games are already here, TV not far behind?

With the rise of 3D cinematic experiences I thought 3D television wasn't too far away but would be very expensive.
I often look at what the computer games industry is doing as they tend to be the leading edge in terms of interactive technology so I was interested when I got an email through citing a 3D Vision ready screen. I have a GeForce 3D graphics card in my machine and it appears that for around £350 I can buy a 120 Hz screen and a pair of Glasses that turn any 3D game or rendered content into a true 3D experience. I'm surprised at how affordable this is, don't get me wrong £130 or so each for some glasses for a family is very expensive but for a young single well off male that wants to watch sports in 3D? It feels to me like 3D television is actually just round the corner and expensive but affordable right now.

Slightly positive view of Buzz

I chose to take a positive view of Buzz in this blog on my company website. The vast majority of coverage is focusing on the privacy concerns raised and in my opinion the press is blowing this out of proportion.

Still - it will be interesting to see how the law suits go.

What does Google know about your social circle?

Would be interesting to see how the privacy settings changes in facebook and other third party sites affect this content.
