The Real iPhone 1.0 | Monday Note
That is why I call the latest release 1.0, the complete one, with a tip of the hat to the engineers who, in less than two years, moved the OS from a painfully trimmed down port of OS X to a tiny ARM platform, creating a polished new user interface in the process. And giving birth to a new applications ecosystem, an unforeseen outgrowth of the iTunes platform.
Et encore, il manque la possibilité aux applications tierces de s'exécuter en tâche de fond. Même EPOC proposait le mutlitâche.

The New Negroponte Switch
What I think we need to investigate are designs of media, service and product that are resilient, and self-sustaining as far as possible. I like to call this “Thingfrastructure”

Pwireframing: Paper Wireframing - mStoner - Blog
Two clients of ours from Bethel University, Mark Erickson (Director of Web Communications) and Michael Vedders (Director of Web Technology), came to mStoner’s Chicago office for two days earlier in the month to work directly with us on the Bethel strategy document. The idea was that two days of intense collaboration and discussion would produce a more cohesive report, better suited to Bethel’s needs.
It Doesn’t Get Any More Old School than Paper and Scissors
Part of this two day process was an exercise that I like to call paper wireframing, or Pwireframing. It’s an idea that came to me based on a link that my colleague Laurel Hechanova sent me: The Design Police Visual Enforcement Kit. If you take a look at this page, it’s essentially a print-it-yourself sticker kit, laying out a bunch of funny “laws” you can stick to a piece of communication.
Social Media Classroom
The Social Media Classroom (we’ll call it SMC) includes a free and open-source (Drupal-based) web service that provides teachers and learners with an integrated set of social media that each course can use for its own purposes—integrated forum, blog, comment, wiki, chat, social bookmarking, RSS, microblogging, widgets , and video commenting are the first set of tools.

In Kyoto, a Call to Not Trample the Geisha - NYTimes.com
interesting because 2 or 3 years ago, they were complaining that the business was going limbo and they started to open the geisha to people not only on recommendations. More without more.“They are not performing for tourists,” said Mr. Yamamoto. “They are simply traveling to and from the venues of the party where they are working.”
“We are not like a Mickey Mouse in Disneyland,” said Mameharu, another maiko, walking along Hanamikoji street.

FirePHP - Firebug Extension for AJAX Development
Yahoo! 360° - Douglas Crockford's The Department of Style - HTML4.2
I think the HTML5 project is misguided in the same way that ES4 was. It is trying to do too much without a clear mission that defines the problems it is solving. I think the project needs a reset. I want to refocus it with the intention of producing the smallest possible standard, rather than the largest possible standard.
I would call the replacement project HTML4.2. It would be tempting to call it HTML4.1, but the current HTML standard is HTML 4.01, so the potential for confusion is too great.
Opinionated Doug is opinionated, and I think it's a good thing.

OneSwarm: Privacy preserving P2P
OOOOOh. À explorerOneSwarm is a new P2P data sharing application we’re building to provide users with explicit control over their privacy by enabling fine-grained control over how data is shared. Instead of sharing data indiscriminately, data shared with OneSwarm can be made public, it can be shared with friends, shared with some friends but not others, and so forth. We call this friend-to-friend (F2F) data sharing.

microprinter / FrontPage
Tom describes it as "an experiment in physical activity streams and notification, using a repurposed receipt printer connected to the web". Hackers across the country are buying up old old receipt printers and imaginatively repurposing them into something new. We call them microprinters.
