Seb's Open Research: How to Deal With Your Weirdness
When we move into any social space we have to choose which of our faces to show. At any given moment, a few of them are visible. The others are hidden, often because we think they are somehow "weird".

Op Losse Schroeven - situaties en cryptostructuren
This exhibition which caused a great deal of commentary was one of the first manifestations of arte povera, conceptual art and land art in Europe and as such marked an artistic breakthrough for many of the participants. Among the artists are Carl Andre, Giovanni Anselmo, Ben d'Armagnac, Joseph Beuys, Walter de Maria, Jan Dibbets, Barry Flanagan, Jannis Kounellis, Richard Long, Mario Merz, Bob Morris, Bruce Nauman, Dennis Oppenheim, Panamarenko, Rob Ryman, Lawrence Weiner, & Gilberto Zorio.

A significant weakness of HTTP in my view is its dependence on the MIME standard for media type identification and on the related iana registry. This registry is a limited bottleneck that does not have the capacity to deal with the media type definition requirements of individual enterprises or domains. Machine-centric environments rely in a higher level of semantics than the human-centric environment of the Web. In order for machines to effectively exploit information, every unique schema of information needs to be standardised in a media type and for those media types to be individually identified. The number of media types grows as machines become more dominant in a distributed computing environment and as the number of distinct environments increases.

Daring Fireball Linked List: App Store WTF of the Week (App Store Link)
Ends up the App Store review team simply doesn’t deal with copyright and trademark verification (with the exception of enforcing Apple’s own trademarks, of course). Any beef Nintendo has ([...]) is between Nintendo and Mariolife’s developer. Makes sense.
A partir du moment où Apple touche un tiers du produit des ventes, ça en fait pas sens du tout qu'ils n'aient rien à faire de la propriété intellectuelle concernant les applications qu'ils choisissent de distribuer.

moominstuff: Polaroid 110A covertomation. Convertomizing. Okay, just conversion.
I chose to use a 110A because I got a good deal on eBay. 110Bs are the most popular just because they have a couple minor improvements over the 110A. Some people convert the 'lesser' models as well. Here is my 150 next to my 110A. See the obvious difference in the lens quality.

RDFa and Web Directions North 2009 from Manu Sporny on 2009-02-09 (public-rdfa@w3.org from February 2009)
There was a great deal of buzz
around HTML5 and nobody that I spoke to mentioned that they were in the
least bit excited about XHTML2, even when asked directly. HTML5 was
mentioned in presentations and conversations throughout the week. The
general feeling was that HTML5 was far more exciting than XHTML2.
