Sms Notifications for Visa
PNC, SunTrust, U.S, Wachovia, Wells Fargo, RBC, and TD (to name a few) are testing real-time SMS notifications whenever your card is activated. From what it looks like there are various filters you may opt to use, such as ‘above $ amount’ or ‘include cash withdrawals’.
Setting aside the extortionate text messaging rates within Canada, sounds like a pretty fantastic idea. Then again, I would hate to be in a supermarket and hear the Motorola text messaging sound 7000 times as people pay for groceries.
I hope they have the brains to throw real time Email notifications in the mix as an alternative, sounds a lot less irritating. Great idea overall though.

Super Slow-Mo Lightning
Possibly the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time.
From what i hear this is from a BBC documentary ‘The Power of the Planet’. I thought Planet Earth was amazing but this is looking to overtake it on my awesomeness meter. I’ll let you know as soon as i get hold of a copy.

Talking Lightbulbs
Hi! I’m Raz, and the Mountain of Lightbulbs is my blog! I’m formerly a Digital Media student at Seneca College, Toronto. My areas of expertise are: Flash As2/3, Html, Css, Php, C, C++, Shell Scripting and all areas of Graphic Design. Sadly these days, i don’t list things such as Basic, Assembler or even Pascal, mostly because they just aren’t used anymore on a larger scale, but also because its been a while since i stopped using them. Actually i should remove as2 as well, going back to what actionscript was, after working with what it is now is is heartbreaking. Please don’t make me!
Most of what you will find on this blog will be related to New Media, Interactivity, Web Development and Games, I hope that readers have as much fun reading my blog, as i have blogging. I owe a huge debt to various people, some of which are listed on my blogroll but also to the webdevelopment and specifically flash comminuity as a whole. You guys were so fantastic and infintly helpful to me during my college days, and i hope this blog will be the start of being able to give back to that community.
Thanks again, to everyone! -Raz
