One picture tells..

I recently ran into a nifty service that takes a website address and translates it into a tag cloud. Below is a description of what Fideocam blog is all about.

In all honesty the picture is a great change to play bullshit bingo. Pretty cool service nevertheless!

Goals for life

Facing a new situation of having to balance work and  family life bit more carefully I have tried to re-evaluate my goals in life. As it happens these “new” priorities translate well to a company culture I would like to create.

• do new things
• do things for me
• do something good

I think these goals can be deduced to ‘Doing good things that I would even use myself’.  Of course this mantra is nothing really revolutionary, but if you and me were to start something I think generally it would be good that we would have similar outlook on life.

Predictions for 2011

I have done couple of these annual fortune teller things  now. I think I have managed to be spot on most of the time so why not do one more.

1. Era of the DSLR will end as high-end hybrid cameras lose the moving mirror
2. LTE and 3D gaming  apps will be significant differentiating factors in mobile phones
3. Cameraphones finally replace point and shoots as the #1 camera

Why? Because I think these things are not irrelevant and are currently hindering further progress. Why not next year? Because we are quite not there yet. There, I sait it.

Spotify for TV

A mate recently sent a short message where he suggested we should create Spotify for television shows if it does not exist yet. I kind of agree that something like that would be great. The thing is I’m afraid the big boys already got their act together and have exactly what everyone wants in the works. Meanwhile it makes sense to analyze what are the reasons freemium business model  has been so succesful.

Camera hunting

I have already been on the market for a good solid DSLR for couple of years now. We are in a happy position to have an additional member to the family. Interest to record such life changes gives a good push to re-evaluate camera gear. Right now it is the dark time of the year so low light performance counts, but improved video features are the key selling factor in many new cameras.
