Stefano’s Linotype » Data Smoke and Mirrors
L'utilité pratique d'un système est souvent inversement proportionnelle à la popularité de la technique utilisée pour le système. Le plus souvent les personnes oublient de répondre à la question : « Quels sont les enjeux que vous tentez de résoudre ? »This places everybody trying to make the web of data happening in danger of oper-promising and under-delivering, which is not a recipe for success: it’s a recipe for abuse, mistrust and anger… which ultimately leads to disaster and failure.

John Mann Photography
Folded in Place furthers the abstraction once offered by landscape photography by removing the place itself and replacing it with a mapped construction. This method leads the viewer to re-imagine the spectacle of the foreign lands and explore the abstraction of place offered by photography. The combination of still-life constructions and the maps’ reference to large and distant lands examines the paradox of known and unknown geographies offered by the photographic image. In this manner, Folded in Place turns the abstract representation of the map back into a physical landscape using photography to look at the map as a geography of its own.

Theocacao: Measuring the Design Process
Even though individuals in Doug's position are brought in as experts in their field, eager to share their insights, they are often hired under the incorrect assumption that a designer has amassed information in his or her career, not experiences. That assumption leads to a second flawed assumption: that all decisions will be based on hard facts.
Turn Twitter Into Your Personal Assistant
The combination of social networking with public messaging, link posting, and subscriptions leads to impressive synergy effects, but there is also the drawback of information overload, information loss, distraction, and content redundancy.

Memoizing recursive functions via the fixed-point Y combinator: Applying functional programming techniques to Javascript
Is it possible to express a "recursive" function like factorial without using recursion or iteration? The answer--often surprising--is yes. The technique involved--expressing recursive functions as fixed-points--leads to a more fundamental understanding of recursion.
Wow, there's a lovely world that needs to be explored

On-line newspapers, information agency, blogs and personal websites, thematic media are monitored to highlight the pattern of perceptions on the urban space. This monitoring activity leads to the creation of an atlas that will produce - in real-time - different maps based on news sources, themes, and time. The atlas allows users to understand the urban space as a function of media attention and biases and social and cultural diversity of the city itself.

Functioning Form - Previous and Next Actions in Web Forms
A recent lengthy discussion in the Interaction Design Association focused on the placement of actions in Web forms that span several Web pages. The quintessential question underlying this debate is: can an action which leads people to the previous step of a process be placed to the right of an action that leads users to the next step of a process?
yet another great article.

IPR Draft Guidelines - Open Web Foundation Discussion | Google Groups
I think the bylaws and clos= ed membership will keep the foundation consistent. It works well for the AS= F which is the model we are building on. As for the spec, I think it is rea= lly up to the personalities involved and the communities will need to self = regulate. The OAuth leads had an idea and we made sure the community didn't= change.
Je trouvais cette idee d'Open Web Foundation mediocre, maintenant ca pourrait friser le ridicule... :)

open mais en fait closed.I think the bylaws and closed membership will keep the foundation consistent. It works well for the ASF which is the model we are building on. As for the spec, I think it is really up to the personalities involved and the communities will need to self regulate. The OAuth leads had an idea and we made sure the community didn't change.

Microsoft Announces New Reporting Standard for Digital Campaign Performance: Engagement Mapping: New approach allows advertisers to map and assign value to various touch points, gaining a more complete picture of a campaign.
magnifique :(REDMOND, Wash. — Feb. 25, 2008 — Microsoft Corp. today announced Engagement Mapping, a new approach to managing and measuring the effectiveness of online campaigns that goes beyond the current “last ad clicked” standard. For the last decade, virtually all ad campaign reporting methodologies associate sales, leads and Web traffic simply to the last click or ad exposure. Engagement Mapping takes into account for the first time all the various online touchpoints and interactions a consumer experiences before an eventual sale.
