Script locally, publish globally. InfoWorld Test Center Director Steve Gillmor and I have always thought that Groove is the tool we ought to be using to coordinate our team's ongoing mind-meld, aka the InfoWorld editorial process. It hasn't worked out that way, though. I used to blame that on Steve, who has little use for communication that doesn't show up as text (in the body, *not* an attachment!) of e-mail messages delivered to his BlackBerry. As for me, I was perfectly willing to haul my ThinkPad everywhere ... until Apple's OS X-powered TiBook lured me from the straight-and-narrow, that is. Can a BlackBerry junkie and a TiBook renegade get any collaborative mileage out of Groove? Assuming that Windows PCs continue to figure prominently in our technology mix -- as they most assuredly do -- the answer appears to be "yes," thanks to Groove Web Services.

Active camouflage -- tricks of the light.  
Stunning footage of optical camouflage technology at the university of Tokyo, where retroreflectors are used to capture the visual behind an object and LCDs paint it on the front. I'm not clear if this is actual footage of the tech in motion, or just video FX -- either way, it's croggling. Link Discuss (Thanks, Chris!) [Boing Boing Blog]
