My Yahoo & Sundance Channel

I just spent a couple of hours playing with My Yahoo[1] and I must say
that I am really impressed.

Yahoo has all those services (search, news, weather, TV guide, movie
guide, finance news, etc) and they offer you to personnalize your
environment, see only what you want, etc. They also offer people an
email address, a calendar, so that you could organize your whole life
with My Yahoo. Well, maybe everybody is aware of that and I am the last
one to realize.

I have started tracking in my calendar a list of interesting programs on
TV and asked it to email me my TV schedule every day. I am going to test
that for a while.

While playing with all that, I also (re-)discovered a really good
channel: Sundance Channel[2]. This is the only American channel that I
know which has recent, good independant movies (you know, those black
and white hippie movies about gay cowboys eating pudding) without any
commercial breaks. I recently watched Lock, Stock and Two Smoking
Barrels[3], Election[4], this week they are showing Ghost In The
Shell[5]. And I *really* enjoy it.

Cybiko:
The first example of a deployed self-organizing wireless LAN hitting the
market in a big way, and it's only $130! Given that it's intended audience
is high-schoolers, I think a highschool hallway will definitely have enough
nodes for interestings things to happen. It also has the much desired "love
finder" feature.

Groove:
Like a version of lotus notes jumped up on http and xml (I think). Very
slick operation, though I haven't figured out all the interface nuances, nor
done anything useful (like talking to someone else.)
