See, I told you I couldn’t stay away for long. Here are some interesting links I came across today:
The Flickr tag: knockoff. First of all, Flickr is a photograph sharing site where items are “tagged” with a category. The “knockoff” category is a repository for photographs of generic consumer products that are designed to look like their brand-name counterparts.- Dan Bricklin, the guy who invented the electronic spreadsheet (think: Microsoft Excel), produces podcasts now (among other things). Here is his recording setup.
- Here’s an interesting search concept: Yahoo Mindset. Search the web using terms as usual, then pull the slider from one direction (shopping) to another (researching). It’s search based on intent.

It’s funny to me that you have a link to the “knockoff” thing at Flickr, and then a link to the guy’s recording setup which uses a Behringer mixer, a company that is very well known for taking other people’s products and putting their name on it.
