Mute.com: Various (Mute) - Mute Audio Documents 1978-1984

by Neewok

Mute emerged in the post-punk era. It was a new era of pop democracy, and anyone could make a record. You didn't even need to know three chords, according to Mute founder Daniel Miller. All you needed, he said, was an idea. His 'idea' was to create a classic of DIY pop - a double A sided 7" single featuring the songs T.V.O.D. and Warm Leatherette. He called himself The Normal, designed a sleeve with Letraset, stuck the name Mute on it, and accidentally started a record label.

cutlery pen caps dining biodegradable - designboom

by sbrothier & 1 other
designer's own words: Turn your favourite office tool from your desk in a common cutlery...this is din-ink. A set of pen caps, including a fork-cap, a knife-cap and a spoon-cap, that replaces the normal pen cap during lunch time! All caps are made by annually renewable resources, like natural starch and fibres, to be 100% biodegradable and atoxic, warranting the best alimentary use. Dispensing each set in a compostable packaging the whole set is designed to respect the environment. Now give your office ballpoint pen a good excuse to be gnawed by your teeth: use them for din-ink.

Obama | One People

by tisienpo
The City illustrates the emotional flow of the Presidential Inauguration in Washington, D.C. Through an analysis of the number of mobile phone calls made in Washington D.C. on Inauguration Day and the home state or country of phone origin, it is possible to see peaks of call activity as the crowd anticipates President Obama's oath, a drop in call activity as the crowd listens to his inaugural address, and peaks again as the crowd celebrates the inauguration of the new President. Through their cell phones, those present at the historic event share their impressions with friends and family in vast numbers: on the morning of January 20th, call activity is two to three times stronger than usual, and it rises to five times the normal levels after 2 pm as President Obama takes his oath and people begin to celebrate.

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?

Duky's Life & Other things: Le fansoupe est-il soluble dans l'économie ?

by night.kame (via)

Grâce (ou à cause) de Déclic Images notamment, le public a longtemps cru deux choses : que l'animé était peu cher (à produire comme à acheter) et surtout était populaire et générait de très nombreuses ventes. Même les professionnels tels que Pathé ou TF1 Vidéo sont même tombés dans la panneau et ont lancé leurs propres labels. Ils se sont cassés les dents, entre le prix disproportionné des licences à l'acquisition et les ventes faméliques à l'arrivée. Car oui, un animé vendu à prix normal (c'est à dire couvrant les frais de licence, de développement, les salaires etc.) se vend à moins de 2 000 exemplaires.

Nous sommes moins de 2 000 fans en France à soutenir cette "industrie" et à avoir cette passion de l'animé. Le reste n'est composé que de consommateurs itinérants qui ne connaissent un titre que parce qu'il est gratuit ou présenté comme "aussi bien que (titre à la mode au choix)".

La japanimation c'est énorme, mais ça reste de la micro-économie, un peu comme les microformats ("microWHAT ?" demanderont certains).

Dailymotion - EXCLU ! Francis Lalanne parle de son clash chez Ruquier... - une vidéo Actu et Politique

by night.kame 1 comment

Francis Lalanne : « Quand un type il te parle de délit culturel parce que tu écris un bouquin contre le président de la république tu vois ça me rappelle une certaine Allemagne où il fallait pas dire de mal du patron. [...] Ce que ce mec pense de moi je m'en fous. Ce qu'est pas normal si tu veux c'est une télévision où on institutionnalise ce genre de procédé. [...] Le public en a marre qu'on missionne des gens, qu'on paye des gens pour agresser des les artistes. »

Eric Naulleau : collabo. France Télévision : fascistes !

Francis Lalanne : « il est dans un rôle si tu veux à mon avis il a une mission, de m'empêcher de parler de ce livre qui remet en cause le président de la république déjà. Et ensuite, il se sert de moi qui suit un artiste, qui produit des bouquins, pour faire parler de lui qui produit rien. Tu vois, il est là le cul sur sa chaise, il confond "lecture" avec "fiche de lecture", et, lui, il pense que parce qu'on lui donne le droit de s'exprimer sur un bouquin, il a tous les droits et surtout le droit de pas respecter les gens. Et il se sert de ça, et il essaie, et il y arrive pas ! C'est ça qui est formidable c'est qu'il va sur tous les les les [ma[?]] Mais, mais, sur tous les blogs, les gens y disent "on en a marre", "on en a juste assez qu'on nous manque de respect, qu'on manque de respect à nos artistes, qu'on manque de respect aux gens qui travaillent, on en a assez". Et surtout on en a assez de cette télévision là qui jette les artistes dans l'arène comme on jetait les chrétiens aux lions. »

France Télévision : sacrifice humain ! Et pour la non-production de Naulleau, j'ai interdiction de lire "Le Jourde et Naulleau" (édition augmentée) au lit tellement je me poile.

En tout cas, si la réflexion dans son livre est à la hauteur de ces réflexions là, pas étonnant qu'il se soit fait descendre par Naulleau, et que Zemmour ait conclu « on a eu la république telle que tu en rêves et telle que Mendès-France en rêvait : ça s'appelle la IIIème République, ça s'appelle la IVème République, et ça a été une catastrophe. Ca s'appelle l'histoire ; l'histoire sert à quelque chose. »

Inference Group: Dasher Project: Home

by ronpish & 1 other
Keyboards are inefficient for two reasons: they do not exploit the redundancy in normal ... all » language; and they waste the fine analogue capabilities of the user's motor system (fingers and eyes, for example). I describe a system intended to rectify both these inefficiencies. Dasher is a text-entry system in which a language model plays an integral role, and it's driven by continuous gestures. Users can achieve single-finger writing speeds of 35 words per minute and hands-free writing speeds of 25 words per minute. Dasher is free software, and it works in all languages, and on many platforms. Dasher is part of Debian, and there's even a little java version for your web-browser.

Mega drop-down navigation at Basecamp and Rails Guides site - (37signals)

by sbrothier & 1 other
Mega drop-down navigation at Basecamp and Rails Guides site Matt Mar 25 16 comments Latest by Jonathan Jakob Nielsen says mega drop-down navigation menus work well. Given that regular drop-down menus are rife with usability problems, it takes a lot for me to recommend a new form of drop-down. But, as our testing videos show, mega drop-downs overcome the downsides of regular drop-downs. Thus, I can recommend one while warning against the other. We’ll +1 that. A good, related example from our world: The project switcher in Basecamp. switcher Design Decisions: Basecamp Project Switcher [SvN] explains how we redesigned the project switcher from a normal drop-down to a mega drop-down.

How To: Have Multiple Signatures in Gmail with No Extensions, Userscripts or Bookmarklets Required - The Next Web

by jallatte

1. Enable Canned Responses in “Labs” in your gmail account.

2. Write out your email signature into your email as if you were writing a normal email.

3. Next save the signature as a canned response under any name, something like “My Main Signature” for example. (repeat this step for all your various signatures)

4. From now on, you can write emails as your normally would and once you’ve reached the foot of your email and ready to insert your signature - simply click the “Canned Responses” menu and select the appropriate signature.

The downside? You unfortunately can’t insert HTML signatures.

L'appareil photo de papier... - Where is Ploum ?

by karlcow

Personnellement, j'ai pris il y a déjà quelques années une décision simple : je n'ai pas d'appareil photo. J'en emprunte un lorsque l'occasion se prête à prendre des photos mais, en temps normal, je ne prends tout simplement pas de photos. J'aime bien la photographie mais, tant pis, ce sera pour une autre vie. Je me remplis les yeux et lorsque je veux me rappeler d'un moment particulier, je sors mon carnet et je prend note. Un appareil photo composé de quelques feuilles et d'un stylo, c'est ma manière à moi de faire un geste pour les générations futures...

A Unix Utility You Should Know About: Pipe Viewer - good coders code, great reuse

by greut & 1 other

Pipe viewer is a terminal-based tool for monitoring the progress of data through a pipeline. It can be inserted into any normal pipeline between two processes to give a visual indication of how quickly data is passing through, how long it has taken, how near to completion it is, and an estimate of how long it will be until completion.

GINKGO BILOBA -The Ginkgo Pages- Bonsai

by sbrothier
The Ginkgo biloba tree can also be grown as a bonsai. You can buy a Ginkgo bonsai or grow one from seed or start with a seedling of 2-3 years old. It is an outside bonsai and prefers full sun, but in very sunny areas part shadow is better. Young trees need some shelter in midsummer. Give plenty of water during the growing season. Protect well against frost, for the Ginkgo is very sensitive for it in shallow pots because of the fleshy roots with moistury content that might burst open with frost. Therefore keep it fairly dry in winter. A bonsai needs to be more fertilized than a normal sized tree. Fertilize plentiful with organic manure: spring-October twice per month. A female branch may be grafted on the tree to get seeds earlier than normal.

OilCan: Greasemonkey on steroids for Android

by karlcow

OilCan inserts some powerful buttons into normal websites, and that power comes from Android intents. We didn't write a barcode scanner or the radar app into OilCan, but using intents we can launch those apps with parameters. We can request the Barcode Scanner app to scan something and return the code to us, or launch the Radar app with a specific lat/lon.

Re: [svg-developers] Google working on Javascript drop-in enabling SVG o

by karlcow

I'm working on this here at Google as part of a group focused on Open Web Advocacy. I'm using Flash to do the rendering and tricks with an Internet Explorer technology called Behaviors to support both static and JavaScript scriptable dynamic SVG. It will be open source. I'm working with James Hight (Zavoo Labs) on it. I probably have about 6 more months of work - I'm not completely ready to be public yet. I'll post more details as things firm up. One other aspect of the library is it allows you to embed SVG into normal non- XHTML on all browsers (the browsers native SVG support is used on all browsers except for IE). I identfied the inability to embed SVG into normal HTML as one of SVGs impediments to adoption so the library helps with that as well.

typeface.js -- Rendering text with Javascript, <canvas>, and VML

by oqdbpo & 10 others
Instead of creating images or using flash just to show your site's graphic text in the font you want, you can use typeface.js and write in plain HTML and CSS, just as if your visitors had the font installed locally. This is a work in progress, but functional enough at least to render the the graphic text on this site. Here's what it takes to get going: load the typeface.js library and some typeface.js fonts, then proceed like normal:

Virtual CloneDrive Mounts ISOs and Other Disk Images Without Burning a Disc

by decembre
Windows only: Free application Virtual CloneDrive mounts any common disk image file type as a virtual drive that you can browse as though it's a normal hard drive without burning a disc. The app supports popular disk image types like ISO, BIN, and CCD, and mounting an image once you've installed CloneDrive is as simple as double-clicking the file. We've covered similar tools in the past, but CloneDrive is the simplest implementation we've seen, and it's made by SlySoft, the folks who develop the popular DVD decryptor, AnyDVD. Virtual CloneDrive is a free download, Windows only.
