magnus-kjall-illustrationOh yeah, that thing can move this way and that like a caffeine addicted bat, but you take away the music and it’s all just a sad story about a orphaned Chiroptera that lost his way, that is, until these links came along.

Magnus Kjäll Illustration – A lot of 3D, a lot of layers and one of my favorite types of illustration that just mashes everything together.
The Ultimate Productivity Toolbox – Excellent picks. I’d choose XnView over IrfanView and WebAsyt over BaseCamp though.
HD TV Media Player – Tiny. Awesome. Plug in your USB and play HD. pick one up for $100 at BestBuy. Thanks Rod!
Google Gadgets/Remember the Milk – I forgot to list the Google Gadget last week, but the new RTM gadget makes the new gadgets for your Gmail even cooler.
Gears of War 2 Biggest Surprises – Xbox 360 third-person shooter goodness. It’s out soon and here’s the scoop on what will make your mouth drop.
Free Vector Illustration – Like inspiring examples of vectorized artwork? This weeks free vector illustration at Templates.com is very cool indeed.
CoffeeShop Free Photoshop Actions – I can’t jump into the weekend without telling you about some of the best, free photo actions available.

I have a Linksys DMA2100 media streamer, and it works really well. All hail 802.11n.

But regarding thisn thing…the idea of watching HD movies from a USB key is a little absurd. Considering that a single-layer BRD has a capacity of 25GB, and that anything at 1920×1080 screen res is going to clock in at 12-13GB per hour of video, the only thing you're going to be plugging into this thing is a portable hard drive. I guess you could use a USB key to watch small clips, but not full movies.

righto. I'm sure current tech will limit it until those USB drive are a bit more substantial, but who know what we'll have by then. Will be nice to stream all the snazzy footage you get from your pertty little Xacti :)
