Anthology of Interest

My employer, Acceleware Corp., closed a $3MM dollar deal with nVidia this week. A further $5MM dollar investment deal was also closed.

Coinciding with this news is a little bit of a PR blitz. Acceleware was featured on ROBTV this morning, and CBC was in our office this morning filming a little piece. Tamara recorded it and I converted it to an Xvid avi, which you can see here: CBC News Business report on Acceleware. Heh, I can't play Xvid movies in my browser. If you can't play it, let me know. If no one can play it, I encode it as something else.

I didn't read car magazines for a long time. I picked up an issue of Sports Car International to read on a flight somewhere. Thereafter, it became my reading material of choice for plane rides. I even picked it up a few times when I wasn't taking a trip, since I had come to like it a lot.

I came across another car magazine, a free ad supported online one that is very much like a print magazine. In exchange for your email address, you get an account which enables you to download issues in PDF format, or using their proprietary reader. Since it's a PDF, the layout is fixed very much like a print magazine, but unlike a normal print magazine, the layout is done in landscape, which makes it idea for reading on wide screen laptops.

Ads are embedded in the same way as they are in print magazines, but they take advantage of being a digital document by linking to movies and other content elsewhere. Their movies are obviously not their focus, but the photography and writing is quite good.
