Remembering Bogle Chandler - an interactive narrative

by gregg
The half-naked bodies of a brilliant scientist called Dr Gilbert Bogle and his philandering lover Margaret Chandler were found on a Sydney riverbank in 1963. Shrouded in mystery, a series of forensic dead-ends led to wild theories that ranged from LSD ingestion to Cold War assassination – but even now, the cause remains unclear. Australian new media artist Rebecca Young created this brilliant interactive web documentary that presents you, the Internaut, with a choice of trajectories and timelines through which to explore the surprisingly gnarly details of the events leading to their deaths. A sordid suburban murder mystery for your participatory pleasure.

Twuring - The Twitter Turing Test

The turing test means that the bot needs to be capable of being indistinguishable (or as near as) from a human being. So a spammy bot will get nowhere.

Tech Your Universe » PHP vs Java vs C/C for web applications

by kasi77
For the other 99.9% of web applications, scripting languages or C/C is a better choice, and the complexity that Java introduces is despicable, and in my opinion, making the choice for Java is doing a disservice to your company in terms of cost (both development time and hardware).

What Do Women Want? - Discovering What Ignites Female Desire - NYTimes.com

by karlcow

And within a committed relationship, the crucial stimulus of being desired decreases considerably, not only because the woman’s partner loses a degree of interest but also, more important, because the woman feels that her partner is trapped, that a choice — the choosing of her — is no longer being carried out.

Toujours laisser l'incertitude et les portes ouvertes… la morale et le désir se contredisent.

Decisions vs. Choices

The difference between choices and decisions is subtle , some of it has to do with the quality of your ingredients and some of it has to do with compromise at the wrong stage of development. Is the process all that matters? A process that is used to constantly create new possible options and choose from those instead of making Frankenstein out of the options given? The design process will constantly emphasize the goal in the iteration of options leading to a choice. I don’t think that definition clear, but it’s the best we came up with.

Jay Fields' Thoughts: The Cost of Net Negative Producing Programmers

by greut

I know the argument: demand is so high, we don't have another choice. I reject this argument on the basis that most good programmers spend the majority of their time fixing problems created by terrible programmers.

Announcing Moonshine, the project never formerly known as Pornilus | Aaron Bockover

by greut

Moonshine is a project based on Moonlight that leverages the built-in Windows Media capabilities of Silverlight to bring Windows Media playback to Linux in a fully legitimate way, without forcing the end user worry about what a codec is. This is possible because Microsoft provides the codecs directly to all Moonlight users, regardless of their choice of Linux distribution.

click opera - Aki Sasamoto, judgmental hopper

by karlcow

Aki says something very interesting in an interview, something about the relationship between being an expatriate and being judgmental. (Aki wants to encourage judgmentalism.) "More and more expatriates," she explains, "tend to be what I call Hoppers. Those who are aware of crossing borders of any kind seem to be more judgmental." But if they're inwardly judgmental, these expats master an outward conformity, a kind of Zelig-like quality: "They are also experts in blurring differences, to mask the consequences of their judgments. As a survival technique, Hoppers fool themselves to ignore gaps, or believe in mingling as the most natural, or even embrace characteristics, while positioning themselves out of such horizontal references... Whatever the resulting attitude is, border crossers face the choice of how to locate themselves in relation to sets of plural realities and values. This is the consequence of hopping-around. Being an expatriate is not the only method of hopping-around. But it seems to be an easy category in these days. This is what I mean by Hoppers."
