- Social networking fit into actual relationships
This video eloquently and effectively demonstrates my thoughts on online relationships.
It's also hilarious.
- Going to Sun's CommunityOne OpenID Workshop
Sun has offered to host an OpenIDDevCamp at their annual day-long CommunityOne developer conference the day before the start of JavaOne. Not only will you get a chance to talk with OpenID developers you’ll also get to interact with members of other open source communities (such as Drupal and Ruby on Rails). Vidoop’s Michael Richardson is going to be helping lead the efforts with the help of other community members.

- Queryset-refactor hits trunk! Woohoo!
Malcolm Tredinnick just merged the queryset-refactor branch into the Django trunk. I'm really looking forward to the improvements it brings.
- Video - Discovery Channel's I Love the World ad
This is such a great ad.
- Vidoop is going to Web 2.0
Vidoop - er, I mean, ConfIdent - is going to Web 2.0. This will be the first time I'm going and I'm looking forward to wearing my Vidoop - er, ConfIdent - sweater vest.

This site was built using Django.
I'm in an MBA program and one of the projects we worked on was the marketing section of a location-aware concept. As users of Apple's iPhone Maps application are aware, a cell phone signal can be used to triangulate your rough position, a sort of pseudo-GPS. The concept we were working on was tying this information in to an advertising network. This would require fairly constant position updates and a higher level of resolution than is currently available.
The purpose was to serve ads to users of ad-sponsored cell phones that were relevant to the current local. For example, if someone happens to walking near a doughnut shop, their cellphone would be sent a text message coupon that offered a discount at that particular location. Hopefully, this would increase the success rate of the ad since it would be both time and locationally relevant to the consumer. It's a rather frightening concept though and makes me think of cyberpunk dystopias a la Transmetropolitan.
