Dual Perspectives Article

by karlcow

User-created online culture isn't "mass culture," exactly; no single blog post gets as much exposure as, say, an episode of American Idol. But it's culture by the masses.

Ubiquitous Angels; ambient sensor networks to crowd source crisis response and community awareness

by karlcow

Criticism • Side effects often dominate over intended consequences of any project or endeavor. • Abstract views may make us callous or may badly reflect ground truth. • Ignorance is bliss. The world is filled with sob stories. Best to not dwell? • Such services may be used solely for the most banal aspirations and goals. • Struggle may be important - making things too easy may harm fitness and lower diversity of skills and abilities over long term. • What about poor people who are outside of any implied technological social network? • Why not just help people around you? • Any technology should go hand in hand with day to day personal practice that is unmediated? • Feedback loops may be created that accelerate and disrupt society. • Virtual and visual only for curators; not tactile; uses only one sense. A concern?

a456: Designing The Friendly Skies

by jeanruaud
Last week, articles in The Daily Mail and Gizmodo concerned that most improbable of objects: an Airbus A380 jumbo jet outfitted with custom luxury interiors. As an airborne palace to be built to the tune of $485 million for Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, the Airbus is proof that even a seemingly limitless budget can transcend the limits of conspicuous consumption. It is not uncommon to hear about palatial homes and even cities created for personal use. Such spending and extravagance boggle the mind. Yet one would be hard pressed to find an object that demonstrates ostentation like a private airplane.

What is a Magazine? - Tony Silber - Blogs Consumer @ FolioMag.com

by mozkart (via)
At the Independent Magazine Advisory Group’s sixth annual meeting in Boulder, Colorado this week, Bob Sacks, president of Precision Media Group, offered six key properties for what a magazine is. Tellingly, his were platform-neutral: 1.    It’s metered. It’s paginated. It has a beginning, middle and end. 2.    It’s edited, or curated. 3.    It’s designed. 4.    It’s date-stamped. 5.    It’s permanent. Once created, it can’t be changed. 6.    It’s periodic. It has a calendar or rhythm. It has a series of issues.

nendo | works : blown-fabric

by karlcow

nendo created blown-fabric for Tokyo Fiber ’09 Senseware, an exhibition intended to convey the possibilities of new materials developed with Japanese synthetic fibre technology.

'Smash' is a specialized long-fibre non-woven polyester that can be manipulated into different forms through hot press forming technology. Because it is thermoplastic, light and rip-proof, but glows beautifully when light passes through it, we wanted to create lighting fixtures in the style of vernacular Japanese chochin paper lanterns with it.

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.

Dynamically Created Radio Buttons - Another IE Gotcha

by astrochoupe
As soon as I think I have it all worked out I bump into another oddity between Firefox and IE and handling the DOM. Specifically adding a radio button (or set of them) dynamically. My initial javascript went something like this: # var rdo = document.createElement('input'); # rdo.type = 'radio'; # rdo.id = 'someUniqueID'; # rdo.name = 'myRadio'; # rdo.value = 1; # # myDocumentsBody.appendChild(rdo); This almost worked perfectly. The input was added, it was a radio button, but it was totally unselectable. I could select it via javascript but the normal "click" event didn't cause the radio button to assume the "selected" state in IE? What gives?

One Floor Up: Subprime

by karlcow

Mike Winkelman of Beeple has created an animated editorial on over-consumption. His short video features a spinning house being upgraded, expanded, and refurnished over and over again. The rotating and rebuilding visuals are completely captivating. The whole thing makes you question your own need vs want, consumer self. I will even, just this once, forgive them their isometric ways (perspective people, PERSPECTIVE).

Template tags is a really good thing i Wordpress. Unfortunately there are some tags missing. I created a plugin to provide Wordpress users with extra template tags. It can be used in themes or plugins. To prevent future function collisions I’ve put an underscore before every template tag. The Wordpress team might delvelop these template tags later. If some tag already exist don’t hesitate to leave a comment.

Yammer is a tool for making companies and organizations more productive through the exchange of short frequent answers to one simple question: 'What are you working on?' As employees answer that question, a feed is created in one central location enabling co-workers to discuss ideas, post news, ask questions, and share links and other information. Yammer also serves as a company directory in which every employee has a profile and as a knowledge base where past conversations can be easily accessed and referenced.

by sbrothier (via)
I get asked a lot about how I created my QLab icon. At some point I’d love to go a little bit more in-depth about that — I actually made a polished presentation about it for my interview at Apple — but in the meantime, here’s a video of my short icon talk that I gave at C4[1]. Enjoy!
