its great these new 3d technologies that are coming out. why do they all seem to be built for the programmer and not the designer?
the engine should be under the hood, the controls comfortably in front of you
3D visualization: "This is a web2py scaffolding app that includes a pure javascript widget for 3D visualization in the browser. It is based on and includes the processing.js library developed by John Resig. You can rotate the image using the mouse. I can handle up to 1500 geometric primitives (lines, sheres, triangles). It is licensed under BSD license. The license does not cover nor overrides the processing.js license (in the code). The widget (implemented in class P3D in file p3d.py) consists of server side Python code for building the object and client-side javascript code. It DOES NOT REQUIRE web2py and can be used with any Python web framework."

Palm Pre Does Not Get US Tethering Either: "fermion writes 'The Register is reporting that Palm has sent a note to the Pre Dev Wiki asking it to stop discussing tethering. Palm is worried that its US carrier partner, Sprint, is none too eager to have users tether the game-changing tetherable smart phone. While the communication was informal, not legal, the development forum is evidently eager to avoid any possibility of lawsuits, so has rapidly agreed. Perhaps, like the iPhone, the Pre is going have a vigorous underground. What is interesting is that the Pre, like the iPhone (allegedly), can be tethered outside of the US; but even those customers are being denied apparently lawful information to satisfy the US exclusive agents.'

The fiendish, ingenious Ukranian steampunk fetish-mask makers Bob Basset had just put up a new model, with integrated goggles, that I'm inordinately fond of.

Buckyballs Polymerized Into Buckywires: "KentuckyFC writes 'Scientists have found a way to join buckyballs together so that they form buckywires. The wires form when buckyballs are dissolved in an aromatic hydrocarbon called 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene. The solvent links the balls together to make wires shaped like a string of pearls, which then precipitate out. This relatively simple procedure opens the door to industrial-scale manufacture. Buckywires ought to be efficient light harvesters because of their great surface area and the way they can conduct photon-liberated electrons. But perhaps the area of greatest interest is drug delivery. The researchers suggest that buckywires ought to be safer than carbon nanotubes because the production method is entirely metal-free. This contrasts with the production of nanotubes, which are formed in a reaction catalyzed by metallic nanoparticles.'

A follow up thought on the previous post
my treo had an ssh app no key generation though and it was always crashing
iPhone SSH review: iSSH v. pTerm v. TouchTerm v. SSH: "It has been awhile coming but there are finally not one, but three reasonable SSH clients for the iPhone. As web developer I’ve been waiting for this to happen ever since I switched to the iPhone from my Treo. It’s not like you’re going to be doing extensive coding on the phone, but for quickies and emergencies it is a comforting application to have at the ready."
