OK people, enough podcasts about podcasting! Gimme a break. Curry, is that all you listen to anymore? Because so many of the "new podcasts" on the ipodder.org main page are frickin' podcasters talking about
1. how to podcast
2. why to podcast
3. what to podcast
4. dissecting other podcasts
woohoo! Why don't we all take our own pics with our camera phones and gaze at them all day? Like Paris Hilton...
Maybe I'm just upset that Sir Adam has yet to acknowledge my own 'cast, but jeez... Some of the ones on the main page are just utterly *useless* to anyone.
But then, that is the nature of the medium at this point. So many are amateurish, pointless, or just plain stupid that they are a waste of time.
Hoping to change all that...

What's a superpixel?
Well, you could just google for superpixel. When I came up with the name back in 1998 I did a search through Yahoo! and found out that superpixels are like regular pixels, only super.
That's a half-joke.
To me, superpixel was about the freedom of digital technology to push your message/content/creations out into the world as efficiently as possible. Adobe used to push the paperless office, I was pushing the officeless office... With ONE desktop computer you could publish just about any medium. MIT has a whole course designed around "build anything" where grad students use all manner of robotic sculptors, carvers, and plastic vats using X-Rays to create, well, anything.
That's the dream.
In the meanwhile I'm trademarking superpixel for a very specific purpose. There have been a couple of notable copycats, one using the .mac account name (wish I'd thought of that), and two offshore: China and Netherlands. I don't see a lot of conflict there. While at one time I wanted to do nothing but animation and 3d work, I've grown a little beyond that (not to diminish it in the least). Also, I'm no good at writing software. I've tried. So the .mac/China connection can go at that.
More later...
