I am that guy with the funny name.
In my first life I was a professional photographer. In my second life I started a multimedia studio. That studio began life by producing Flash Games and turned into Software company over the years.
My drive to make art continues with focus of producing my own tools with code. Along the journey others have jumped on to use these tools also. Where will this journey take us, no one knows. I do at least intend to enjoy the ride of finding out.
The crew at Posterous just keeps quietly adding cool little things like this that make there brand the right choose for basically anything. I am not sure If I like polls, there kind of cheesy, to me. I do imagine they can be very useful for many others. Great job.

Two Brammo Enertia 100% electric motorcycles. Take a cross Country Tour Across America on just $5.00 each bike. That less than the cost of 1.2 gallons of gas.
The Brammo Enertia does not look like a plug in the wall electric bike, It looks like a like a gas powered motor cycle.
These two guys are traveling across the country. Charging there bikes where any one will give the 30 cent full charge. They have documented there journey with a website , tweeter and with many youtube videos.

This is the coolest thing I've seen in a while. A multi-touch mouse.
The mouse is like the gateway to doing anything with a computer. For years I would chuck the apple included mouse in the trash for having only one button and buy a logitech multi-button, with wheel.
Then The Big A introduced the mighty mouse, Witch was even worse than the one button mouse. the tiny little ball on the top would work 25% of the time, had buttons on the side, where is the natural place people rest there thumb and pinky finger. That triggered many unwanted things to happen.
The multi touch functionality is proven to work in the trackpads, iPhone and iPod touch and works very well. Adding that same functionality to a mouse is pure genius. The best part is now left handed people can set up the mouse to work in the opposite direction. I know one left handed person that just ecstatic that finally some mouse has made it to the market that will work for them, In the same way it works for righties.
Great design of adding a better and faster workflow to the desktop. Can not wait to get my hands on this. I am hardly ever excited by some piece of hardware, like this. But after using multi touch this seems to make prefect since.
Great video here on the magic mouse (mid bottom, of page) : http://www.apple.com/magicmouse/

DerBrill Multimedia today released AE 3 for runrev. With some amazing new commands like: aeChangeHeight, aeChangeWidth, aeChangeRect, aeChangeHScroll , aeChangeVScroll and a few others to an already valuable library.
If you haven't used it or seen the new version of Animation Engine. I highly suggest checking it out. It has a 14 day try out. more info @ http://www.runrev.com/products/related-software/animation-engine-2/
added: I found out if your only upgrading from a past version it cost only $39 USD to upgrade. For That price I renew asap to the new version. After a day of using the new commands, It's worth not passing up. I use AE for mostly User experience and the new addtions work well for that.

Web kit developers have started to add GPU-accelerated 3D via WebGL into the open source browser engine. WebGL is a JavaScript binding to Open ES 2.0
This will eliminate the need for plug-ins to implement 3D graphics. To enable WebGL manually change settings ( ENABLE_3D_CANVAS = ENABLE_3D_CANVAS in WebCore/Configurations/FeatureDefines.xcconfig)
Manual test data@ http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/trunk/WebCore/manual-tests/webgl/
pretty cool, if you ask me.
