Diamond Digital LED Watch!

Posted in A+Featured Gadgets, Consumer, Cool, Design, Entertainment, Gadgets, Watches by max on the September 22nd, 2008 at 11:12 pm

There are lots of diamond watches out there, but here’s the very first Diamond Digital LED Watch that I’ve ever seen.  The diamonds look more like little snowflakes though, I am not sure it’s bling bling enough for me.

The watch is a collaboration between high-design and art house Gourmet and the jeweler Christian Tse. It sports a white leather band and a whole mess o’ white diamonds.

Web2.0 Expo 2008 - SpringNote - Wiki-based Online Notes

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Documents, Educational, Freeware, Shows, Web, Web2.0 Expo, WebApp, Wiki by max on the April 24th, 2008 at 9:02 am

HeeKyong Yoon from SpringNote.com, was nice enough to chat with me on their cool “wiki” product, SpringNote:

FYI, SpringNote.com is a subsidiary of NcSoft.com, the creators of legendary online game, Lineage.

Well, I tried out SpringNote, here’s a screenshot:

zedomax-spring-note

It’s very simple to use, just like a real notebook except you have unlimited number of pages plus you get bunch of already-made templates like Bookshelf, Monthly Plan, Recipe, and etc…etc…

What I found most interesting was that it is a “wiki” site but you don’t need to know any wiki markup language and start editing your online notes right away. You also have the option to share your notes or keep them private.

As far as technology goes, I love the fact that SpringNote has incorporated a LOT of AJAX. (probably mostly AJAX)

I might start using it more real soon. The only downside I saw was that SpringNote’s servers are hosted in Korea. Although the site does fairly fast, I measured, 168ms ping times from my PC in San Francisco.

FYI, Zedomax.com get 41ms ping times, 4 times faster as servers are hosted in San Diego, California.

Although they could keep running servers from Korea, I think they can grab much larger audience in the U.S. by simply serving their pages from servers in the U.S. (Besides, it’s probably much cheaper to host it here.)

Other than that, I find SpringNote as the next generation online note web app. I will have to dump my MS Outlook all together and start using SpringNotes, way simpler and easier for mass collaboration.
