Frank Gruber of SOMEWHAT FRANK & co-founder of TECH cocktail visited Santa Clara, California on June 24, 2008 as an "Intel Insider." Check out this video which captured some of the days happenings. Distributed by Tubemogul.

This is where we ve all been for the past week:

Found a 64 minute documentary on Cyberpunk, complete with interviews with William Gibson, Timothy Leary and more.

Plenty of people are objecting to video being incorporated into Flickr, a photo-sharing site owned by Yahoo. Some say, this is a place for photos! or it will be filled with YouTube-style crap . And that may be the case. I personally don t have an opinion. I m an artist, I make media, in any form that s presented to me. I m also a paying customer of Flickr. I use the service to post photos from my Canon 20D, photos from my iPhone and N95, screenshots from my desktop and video games, and now, video. Today I had a thought, however, about this moving photo spin that Yahoo has been dishing out. That phrase is something quite easy for me to smirk at, given that there s only have 90 seconds of total running time, and video does not equal photos. So, I wondered. What if it wasn t Flickr who needed to change, instead, it s us? What if we turned the cameras not on ourselves, but away from us? Can we learn a new skill? What if we studied this new sliver of a video genre? Jay Dedman, one of videoblogging s early pioneers, had several videos that were just snapshots in time . moments showing that s about the only term I can think of to describe this. It s not us performing , it s us, watching, observing seeing. So I tried to have a go at it. A living snapshot: Bonus video from Jay Dedman from July of 2004: Freaking out, quietly. Thanks, Jay.

Record your video and add it to the group 90secondgear on Flickr.

And when I say practical social media app , I mean, for once, it doesn t parade around my contact list, display every blink and sneeze I make for the entire world to see. I don t want to be crazy hermit man in the cave, but come ON people. Give people some space. Eyejot, is really simple. Video mail, the end. No really, I just record a video and send it to either a) another Eyejot user or b) an email address. It s free or 14.95 for an entire year (which gets more bells and whistles, recording time from 1 minute to 5, uploads, mobile access and the like. It works well on the iphone and you can subscribe to your inbox as a podcast feed. This is smart and super simple. Here s a vid: Feel free to add me to your addressbook, I m ericrice, or just drop a note to me at my typical gmail account.

Who would think it would be SO DIFFICULT to buy an overpriced phone from Nokia (to switch FROM an IPHONE ffs)? I m already OVER the fact that I will never be able to go into a physical store to touch/hold/read-the-side-of-a-box. (I know, call me crazy for wanting to see/touch a product I ll be buying, wacky, eh?). Fine. Most online retailers can t seem to clearly get stats published properly and even calling Nokia themselves has left me with doubt that even they know (and hey, nice way to have your sales guys throw people to tech support and drop the sale in the process). So yeah, here s the video open letter to Nokia, who apparently seems to coddle bloggers and vloggers, yet you d never know it. Everyone else is an armchair expert I just want a company to confirm that something will work (for those that have offered up advice and links, thanks, now if only the actual company could get it together, heh). Short version: I want an n95 that will work w/AT T and support UMTS 2100 (so I can use it in japan). Whether or not it has 3G in the US is irrelevant, EDGE is fine. I just want to buy the right thing ONCE, but getting to that point, in a word, sucks. PS: Is this it? Nokia N95 @ MacMall

This video became popular so I decided to post it here so people could comment on it. This is, in a way, the next level beyond the Facebook-data scraping incident. This is social hacking; social engineering. The creation of fake personas, carefully nuanced with mundane details and mediocrity, the fake average guy , when developed over a long period of time, can be an ingenious platform to scrape data, mine data, infiltrate social networks and communities.

Photojournalist Richard Hernandez, who's worked for the San Jose Mercury News (Silicon Valley's biggest newspaper) for 13 years shows off how he uses a new service from VuVox to build a new kind of photostory based on a collage. He shows how he overlays audio, video, and other pictures and links to tell a new kind of story.Tags: Richard Hernandez, San Jose Mercury News, Silicon Valley, VuVox

A new breed of financial managers are trying to make money from financial disasters. They've created a market for catastrophe bonds based on elaborate financial calculations of potential loss. We'll talk to journalist Michael Lewis, the author of the New York Times Magazine recent article In Nature's Casino. Michael Lewis is one of America's best journalists. His first book Liar's Poker was a hilariously revealing account of his life as an investment banker. He wrote The New, New Thing about the rise of Silicon Valley. He's covered presidential politics for the New Republic and This American Life. In recent years Michael Lewis has focused on the personalities and business of sports, first baseball in the book Moneyball and most recently football in The Blind Side: The Evolution of the Game. Michael Lewis reveals the highest paid position on the football field. It's not who you think.

Interesting summary of some thoughts resulting from my talk in San Jose (if you had trouble with the audio, it's now accessible, sorry about that). Cammy Bean writes, "As Janet wrote in the comments to her own post, attendees were saying of the un-conference format that 'structure' and 'objectives' were needed. Is a messy training program just one in which the presenter is clearly not organized? The agenda not fully thought out?" My feeling is that some trainers attended the conference expecting, well, training. If they had approached it differently (or been bopped on the head, which I took as my function at the conference) they could have broken out of that frame, and maybe learned something. As opposed to merely being trained. Cammy Bean, Learning Visions, October 1, 2007 [Tags: Audio, Podcasting, Silicon Valley, Accessibility] [Link] [Comment]

The Computer History Museum is a fascinating visit for anyone interested in the history of computing and Silicon Valley. But there's more there than meets the eye. Literally. Hidden from public view is a huge back storeroom with hundreds of artifacts, including a prototype tablet computer called the Apple "Cadillac," an AT&T picture phone, Apple Lisas and the Altair 8800, a popular kit computer, which a young company called Micro-Soft wrote programming tools for. Also get a peek at a rare Canon Cat PC, designed by Jef Raskin of Apple fame, as well as wooden wheels from the famous Wagon Wheel bar, a Silicon Valley institution.

QuickTime vPIP The Solar Decathlon is a competition between 20 international (but mostly US) universities to build a solar, green and sustainable house that could be practically duplicated for the marketplace. Sponsored by the US Department of Energy, the contest requires teams to ship their entire house to the National Mall in Washington, DC for a week long, public exhibit and to be judged on ten sustainable areas. We got the chance to check out the Santa Clara University team house before they shipped it to DC. It was definitely inspiring to see students so passionate and excited about building sustainably. Here s to hoping the Department of Energy will take queues from all these talented students building for the future.

Gordon E. Moore, Intel retired chairman and CEO (and chairman emeritus of the board) spoke with Moira Gunn onstage at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco, in what Intel called a "fireside chat." In this segment, find out whether or not you owe your workplace set-up to Moore and Intel (hint: you probably do). Also, was "Intel" ever the hame of a motel company in the Midwest? The conversation covered a full career, from a time before semiconductors, when the very notion of integrated circuits was new -- and controversial. Since then, of course, not only has Moore been on the winning side of the technology, but his name has become synomymous with the notion that the technology of the chip is on an aggressive development track -- "Moore's Law" has guided and challenged the chip industry for more than 30 years. (Asked if he regrets that name, he says, "I guess I don't - now.") An End to Moore's Law? Every year sees speculation about a possible end to Moore's Law. What does Moore, himself say (this year)? The answer is in this podcast. The physical world is subject to limiting factors, and Moore predicts that sometime in the foreseeable future, limits will be reached in the business of chip-making. However, Moore says he's still impressed at how well the industry has extended the technologies, so far. Moore easily recalls a time before the name Silicon Valley applied to the high-tech corridor south of San Francisco, but he was also remembers a time before the now-ubiquitous staple of office life worldwide. Cubicles. You may not like your cubicle much, but according to Moore, they came about in an attempt to keep the office from looking like a prison. Besides, he says, he still has the biggest cubicle at Intel. Gordon Moore co-founded Intel in 1968. To learn more, click here. Tags: Gordon E.

Moore, Intel retired chairman and CEO (and chairman emeritus of the board) spoke with Moira Gunn onstage at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco, in what Intel called a "fireside chat." In this segment, find out how Intel really got its start, and how much of its success Moore thinks was just great good luck.

Umang Gupta is CEO of Keynote Systems. I caught up with Umang at the Pan IIT Global Conference in July and talked to him about entrepreneurship and what it takes to do startups and run your business. Umang wrote Oracle's first business plan and went on to co-found Gupta Technologies and take it through a successful IPO. Gupta Technologies was the first client-server SQL relational database for PCs. But, after Gupta Technologies went IPO the company took a different route, and Umang stepped down from the board in 1997. Umang is an active investor and advisor to a number of Silicon Valley start-up companies. He served on the Board of Trustees of Mosaix, a publicly held call-center systems company from 1997 to 1999 until its sale to Lucent Technologies.

I've lived in Silicon Valley most of my life and, while I've been to the HP Garage several times, I've never gotten to actually visit it. HP was gracious enough to open the garage for me and a few of my friends who have added me as a Facebook friend and we visit the garage where Anna Mancini, HP's Corporate Archivist, gives us a talk about the role this little garage played in the tech industry's development.
