Légèrement différent de mon projet name a tree. Je vais devoir l'expliquer sur la grangeEach Sunday I will introduce a tree, and you will have the week to get to know it. Whenever possible, I will mention several locations where it can be found.
SundayMorning est un plugin jQuery permettant aux développeurs de sites web d’offrir à leurs visiteurs une façon simple de traduire le contenu de leurs pages. Techniquement la traduction est effectuée par les services de Google au travers de leur webservice sans passer par leur API. Le résultat peut osciller du meilleur au pire. C’est une traduction automatisée, il ne faut clairement pas s’attendre à la perfection. Pour utiliser SundayMorning sur vos sites, il faut télécharger et inclure jQuery et bien évidemment le script et les Css SundayMorning. Le plugin permet plusieurs modes, soit la traduction “en place”, soit mot par mot dans une bulle. * La traduction en place s’activera lorsqu’un titre ou un paragraphe sera double-cliqué en fonction de la configuration choisie. L’évènement déclenchant la traduction est modifiable. Changez dblclick par click ou mouseover par exemple. * La traduction par bulle s’activera automatiquement lorsqu’un mot sera double-cliqué dans un titre ou un paragraphe avec la configuration suivante : L’événement déclenchant est ici forcement le double-clic. Une excellente ressource, open source et simple à mettre en oeuvre. De plus, l’auteur, sur son blog, propose des références supplémentaires pour approfondir le sujet…

Of course, there are parts we can’t replicate: the satisfying crinkle of the paper; the circular stain of your coffee; the smell of newsprint.
Departing Madrid early on a Sunday morning, I found this paper map of the Metro, tucked neatly within the seams of a pre-fab wall, ready for re-use. I wondered, who was on their way out of Madrid, thinking that they could not in good conscience throw away their worn map, looking about for a way to pass it along to another visitor.
Another instance of a Thoughtful Act.
Why do I blog this? Sudden interest in observing improvisatory social practices which are signals of a sort, not always of a “service” or designed object to adopt that practice into a commodified instantiation. But sometimes merely a curiosity that helps us better understand who we/people are, like waypoints along a contour of individual and collective humanities.
the interesting thing with the map offered here is that it is an pseudo anonymous gift. At an instant t when the map has been put, the local people around the person may have identified the gesture and see the person (unlikely but let's say they have at least seen the act) BUT the people who will benefit of it in the further instant have probably no connection at all with the source.
A signature (automatic or not) defines a contract that tie to all kind of responsibilities and legibility which are not necessary beneficial for the group as large. The anonymous nature is defined by the time span and the a-connection between the two events (giving the map/receiving the map). Both gestures will be locally identified but the odds of being connected very small. On the Web, the odds of connection are very high and change completely the social dynamics of giving and sharing information. The network has a "memory" of the context.

Video, video, video. In 2007, the ‘V’ word was the new craze for newspapers internationally. And this is bound to continue in 2008. But just how much video should newspapers seek? Is it an optional plus, should all reporters be assigned to capture video, or should a newsroom even have its in-house studio? In Part 1, we take a look at several examples of how newspapers have included video. How much video? Part 1 – The 2007 boom How much video? Part 2 – Figaro, from Handycam to in-house studio How much video? Part 3 – Nouvel Obs: TV-like shows, with an edge – a year in retrospect First, for those not convinced by the use of video to enhance word-based storytelling, take a look at this engaging piece by Gene Weingarten, about a world-class musician who plays the violin in the subway and nobody notices. The article was published in the Washington Post’s Sunday magazine in April, as well as online with video.
