周立波何许人也

作为海派清口相声的创始人和代表者,周立波的段子总是非常的给力。锃亮的小分头,得体的西装,时不时蹦出两句上海吴语,再加几瓶矿泉水,周立波一个人,一张嘴总能让观众笑得东倒西歪。周立波喜欢对身边普通的话题进行在加工,结合网络上流行的段子,漫谈爱情、婚姻、家庭、事业、财富,常在不经意中穿插匪夷所思的连环噱头,并将自己的人生感悟融入到与观众的闲聊中。正是这样的表演风格,为他积累了大量的粉丝,也形成了其独具特色的周立波语录

Google’s New Android DIY Application Platform and the eStarling

Android and eStarling: endless possibilities

Today’s post is for all of the nerds–and maybe a much wider audience, too-among the eStarling community. What does the eStarling digital frame have to do with Google’s release of a new software that allows 6th-graders to make their own Android applications? Can you say “home-brewed eStarling app”?

According to Google’s release of Android’s App Inventor, eStarling  owners with no background in code writing or computer science could potentially write an application that snaps a photo and emails it to your frame all in ONE touch of a button. Now that’s amazing.

From what I’ve read, Google’s new product breaks down writing Android Applications into something as simple as putting together a lego set. We’ll get to test drive the App Inventor on Monday, and so can all of you Android phone users. I’m excited to share what I find, and I hope that everyone who is interested takes a shot at making an eStarling App for the Android and shares their experiences. Happy programming!

Color Themes on your eStarling

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

In this post, I want to share a fun idea that you can try on your eStarling frame. Do you have a favorite color? I like the color blue. With the eStarling, I can subscribe to Flickr’s “Top 20 Blue” photo group, and have really cool blue-themed photos regularly sent to the frame. It’s a great way to tap into all of the work of the creative photographers on the Flickr network–and it’s totally free!

Wouldn’t it be great if you had a “blue room” in your house? You could really match the frame to the overall theme with this great Flickr photo feed–and an eStarling digital frame, of course. Flickr’s got a wide variety of photo groups, so head on over and see which ones match your color schemes, hobbies, interests, etc.
