JQuery Cycle Plugin
by mozkart

(via)
The jQuery Cycle Plugin is a lightweight slideshow plugin. Its implementation is based on the InnerFade Plugin by Torsten Baldes, the Slideshow Plugin by Matt Oakes, and the jqShuffle Plugin by Benjamin Sterling. It supports pause-on-hover, auto-stop, auto-fit, before/after callbacks, click triggers and many transition effects. It also supports, but does not require, the Metadata Plugin and the Easing Plugin.
How it Works
The plugin provides a method called cycle which is invoked on a container element. Each child element of the container becomes a "slide". Options control how and when the slides are transitioned.
SKOS DC Linked Data = Semantic Tagging? - benjamin nowack's blog
by karlcow
There is a need to tag real-world objects with concepts
This is partly obvious. Tags are a means to an end. But while they are already widely used to annotate document-like resources (web pages, photos, etc), I'd also like to tag things like my projects, people in my address book, and similar non-documents.

Tutoriel d'installation OpenGoo - Site StandarTux
by eledo34
(via)
C'est suite à l'excellent billet de Benjamin que j'ai installé OpenGoo, un logiciel libre de 'Groupware' qui permet de travailler à plusieurs à distance sur une suite de logiciels bureautique intégrés : par exemple, il est possible de gérer ses utilisateurs afin qu'ils puissent partager leurs fichiers, gérer leurs tâches, les mettre en commun et enregistrer leurs travaux sur le serveur.
La présentation ayant été faite par Benjamin, vous pouvez même faire un essai directement sur la site d'OpenGoo avec cette demo, je ne m'attarderai ici que sur la partie installation du logiciel. Il n'y a rien de compliqué mais je pense que pour les plus débutants, cela peut permettre de les guider sur les quelques étapes 'techniques' que nécessite l'installation d'un tel logiciel ou pour ceux dont l'installateur 'in english' peut rebuter.
A Daily Dose of Architecture: Unpacking My Library
by karlcow
The exhibition takes its name from an essay by Walter Benjamin, who writes about the memories sparked by the act of unpacking his collection of books after having them stored in boxes for two years. While Benjamin speaks as a collector and looks at books as objects tied to their owner, these architects will be speaking about the ideas found in the books and the influence on their own work. As someone who reads voraciously, I'm most interested by the recommendations, something that also occurs at the Storefront for Art and Architecture's curated micro-bookshop. Hopefully MAS will provide more online content for the exhibition, such as these lists, as it should be interesting to see any overlap between architects (if any) and to discover some lesser-known gems.
