What a fun night. Apparently an anticipated staple of the Internet Librarian conference, Tuesday night was a "slideshow" of hot new gadgets. The great thing was that they weren't necessarily "for libraries." They were new products that give us an idea of what our patrons will be using, and the challenge for us is to imagine how these innovations may evolve to impact libraries. (Like, where are people going to park their $30,000 solar golf carts?)

Some of my favorites were the $99 Palm Centro (hint, hint), Mandylion Password Manager, Vudo, Cloudprint, Skitch, and this fantastic Greenprint software.

"The Dutch Boys" then shared a sneak peak of their documentary, many recently familiar faces were featured!
