Since "Replay Music" can identify streams it has captured by artist and title, I did a little research- and they appear to use a technology much like the one in my previous blog. Lo and behold, they license technology from a completely different program called mood logic. This appears to organize music by mood. Awesome. And it has support for a number of mp3 polayers and TIVO (2 with home networking...)MoodLogic

Alright. Who doesn't need this. A consortium is working to build a media player that knows the sound of each song and uses song similarity indexing to find songs by mood, artist, or style. I can't wait to tell my MP3 player to play all my Electric Lounge songs...

Here's something that's kind of brilliant. This flashlight takes C, D, or AA batteries. Whichever you have handy. Great in an emergency, etc.

Ok. Here's one I snapped last night of the lovely and talented Toni. She's the best!

And this one of a road block.

Another shot of the mess.

Yuch. George W. Bush spoke at Coors (Fiddler's Green) Ampitheater today. Since I work across the street, security was tight, roads were blocked, and just getting there was difficult.

Here's an alley next to Hu Han Mongolian Bar-b-que in Ft. Collins. Again, with the Che-ez! Snap camera.

Testing a goofy little Che-ez Snap It camera. Bought this to have a cable for the Sony 707. Not bad in sun light. I'll have to carry this around to take little pictures of silly things.
