Watch Gawker Bloggers on Crobsy Street:

Ever wonder how a blog is made? Nick Denton, who owns the Gawker Media blogging company, has rented a storefront on Crosby Street for his new headquarters. It’s down the block from his loft, and it opens next week. As is his habit, Denton refuses to comment on the record, but this much is known: A plate-glass window will let passersby view the bloggers a-blogging, there won’t be cubicles, there will be sofas, and the walls will be green.

Interesting Blog post from Ray Wu at HP about SplashPad Wireless Power
SplashPad enables you to power up your mobile phone and other portable devices, simply by dropping them on a mouse-mat-sized pad, called a SplashPad™
No physical connection is required between the SplashPad and the device – power is transferred wirelessly
Different devices can be charged on a single SplashPad at the same time
Splashpower spells an end to hunting for the right charger, finding free socket spaces or fiddling with connectors and offers a solution to the charging problem of current and next generation portable products
