In this video, Randy Dean, the Totally Obsessed Time Management Guy, shows how he uses the Microsoft Outlook Task List to track those owing him stuff (waiting ons, a la David Allen), as well as how he can automatically assign that item/task/deliverable to that person, and even give himself a reminder as to when he needs to bug this other person so Randy gets his stuff on time. Shows the handy capabilities in the MS Outlook Task List of tracking delegated deliverables, assigning deliverables, and setting reminders for task/waiting on accomplishment.

Not a show stopper, but an easily reproducable bug after the first Nexus One OTA. Press “home” then quickly press a key before keyboard disappears.

BUGS /// KÄFER – bugs, errors and weird behaviors –
The idea:
“Bugs” are errors in softwares. They occur unexpectedly and get eliminated with debugging routines. But software errors can also provoke unusual and interesting results. Those misfits can sometimes be guided and reintegrated into the original programming to produce a striking and novel effect. Coincidence here helps to create what could not be planned. So “bugs” can have positive attributes. They are not wanted initially but break their way into life anyways, uncontrolled and often inspiring.
The “millennium bug” caused a stir at the turn of the millennium. It was a synonym for the the unexpected, the unknown, the undefined and the uncertain of the time to come. The image of the “bug” as error and variable of the program will be the metaphor for this interactive installation. The user is encouraged to play with the bugs and by doing so create new bugs and variables in the software.
Everyone has probably once tried to influence and guide bugs or ants by putting small obstacles in their path. If you cross the path with a finger or hold it above to drop a shadow onto the path, the ants will not cross this virtual barrier and move around it. The same way the users will naturally interact with the “BUGS” installation.
The installation/interaction:
When a visitor approaches the “BUGS” installation he will see different projected bugs sitting on the surfaces of the abstract ant-hill object. They seem to enjoy the digital sun. From time to time they stretch a leg or wing, but otherwise remain motionless. If the visitor puts a hand above the installation landscape, he drops a shadow on it. If the shadow touches a bug, the bug wakes up and starts to move. The bugs try to avoid the visitors shadows and do not cross them. If they reach the border of a shadow they will turn to the side and crawl alongside the shadow. By using their shadows, the visitors can guide the bugs to a certain direction.
When a bug reaches the highest peak of the ant-hill object, it triggers a random variation in the software. This variation affects the attributes of the bugs and the look of the projected ant-hill. This way the bugs cause unpredictable modifications in their control software, like a software bug normally does.

This is a video of my series 3 Tivo exhibiting a software bug after recently receiving an upgrade to version 11.0-01-2-648. It appears that the streaming video has been broken. For more information see http://tinyurl.com/tivo11bug

When I worked for an automated convenience store, one of our earliest bugs caused beer to dispense seemingly at random with other orders. This is one of the videos of that bug in action.
