Mannahatta » Home

by jeanruaud (via)
Ever wondered what New York like before it was a city? Welcome to Mannahatta, 1609. Now, after nearly a decade of research, the Mannahatta Project at the Wildlife Conservation Society has un-covered the original ecology of Manhattan. That's right, the center of one of the world's largest and most built-up cities was once a natural landscape of hills, valleys, forests, fields, freshwater wetlands, salt marshes, beaches, springs, ponds and streams, supporting a rich and abundant community of wildlife and sustaining people for perhaps 5000 years before Europeans arrived on the scene in 1609

Pourquoi le cerveau n’est-il pas vert

by Neewok (via)

Deux jours après que Barack Obama ait prêté serment en tant que président des États-Unis, le Pew Research Center a publié un sondage classant les problèmes considérés par les Américains comme les priorités les plus importantes cette année. En haut de la liste se trouvaient plusieurs sources d’inquiétudes — l’emploi et l’économie — liées à la récession actuelle. Plus bas, bien après le terrorisme, la réduction du déficit et l’énergie (et même ce que les sondeurs ont qualifié de « déclin moral ») se trouvait le changement climatique. C’était la priorité n°20, la dernière du classement.

by karlcow

I listen more attentively. I feel more like I am standing next to the participant as opposed to opposite to them. We compensate participants not only with money but also with respect, candidness, and humanness. We adopted their language to explain that we value them and their obstacles; both sides are “participants” in the research.

Seb's Open Research: Stocks, Flows, and Upkeep in Social Media

Fascinating and very interesting. I may add another law to your experiment, though it would have to be repeated again to see if it's working.

Law 3: A fractal pattern encourages participation.

A fractal pattern is simple enough that the gratification is direct. One can draw a small shape which already makes sense to the person. (I have participated!). But because of the self-structure of fractal pattern, one is participating to a bigger scheme. Sense of collective achievement with grand goals.

Once the structure is big enough, it becomes visible, organized and then it is an object of power, which in return is its weakness. (Colonial states versus Guerrilla/Terrorism). Wikipedia becomes so big that it fights for copyright or have editors censoring content.

Though I kind of disagree with the conclusion of blogs versus wikis. Blogs are indeed easier to maintain but would it be because wikis are not really object of the commons, aka, there is still someone owning the object, it is a property of someone in the end.

I wonder also if there is a density rule in action. A tribe in a large forest with free will to move as they please versus a piece of land with a lot of people. There is very little destruction when the space is infinite. Take the drawing above and imagine a space which is infinite (possible in digital space), would participant try to destroy the work of others or just go further away to do their own drawing?

7.5th Floor » Blog Archive » Back from La Ciudad Híbrida

by karlcow

the contemporary hybrid city through the lenses of my research work augmented by some offline observations. In this intervention entitled “People as sensors; people as actors” (slides with annotations), I look at the integration of ubiquitous technologies (and soft infrastructures) and how they afford us new flexibility in conducting our daily activities (people as actors) with simultaneously providing the means to study our activities in time and space (people as sensors).

Social Advertising Best Practices

by sbrothier
Social media is big and getting bigger, providing marketers with a combination of reach, relationships, and relevance: * Reach: Social media has overtaken email as the most popular consumer activity, according to a recent Nielsen study. Importantly, consumer growth is coming from an older demographic than social media's historical base; for example, Facebook's strongest growth is coming from 35-49 year-olds, adding twice as many 50-64-year-olds as opposed to those under 18. (Nielsen “Global Faces and Networked Places,” March 9, 2009; MediaPost Blogs Research Brief, “Social Networking Is No Respecter of Age,” March 18, 2009.) * Relationships: Social media's strength is in the personal connections it enables, the peer-to-peer contact, providing reasons for consumers to visit regularly and for extended periods of time. * Relevance: Consumers are extremely engaged with the content and connections that their friends are creating because of its personal relevance.

This is why text messages are 160 characters in length

by karlcow

And why 160 characters? Again, when Hillebrand discovered during his research that the average post card usually contained around 150 characters; people were already used to communicating using so few characters. (Telex messages were usually around this length, too, meaning that business users could easily adapt to text messages.) You’ll also find that your average e-mail today isn’t much longer than a text message.

The Truth is In There: Research & Discovery with The Guardian Content API | The Guardian Open Platform | guardian.co.uk

by karlcow

Application Programming Interface, a phrase that has a number of different meanings to the people build and use APIs, and virtually no meaning at all to those that don't. I like to think of an API as a bridge - one which allows information to flow from one piece of software to another. In the case of the Guardian's Content API, the bridge allows us to send requests to and receive information from the Guardian's huge database of articles, images, and other assets.

This document describes the features of the two systems, and provides an overview of the work required to integrate them with Google Code.

About - cufon - GitHub

by sbrothier & 2 others (via)
Cufón aims to become a worthy alternative to sIFR, which despite its merits still remains painfully tricky to set up and use. To achieve this ambitious goal the following requirements were set: 1. No plug-ins required – it can only use features natively supported by the client 2. Compatibility – it has to work on every major browser on the market 3. Ease of use – no or near-zero configuration needed for standard use cases 4. Speed – it has to be fast, even for sufficiently large amounts of text And now, after nearly a year of planning and research we believe that these requirements have been met.

Information Science Reference

NodeBox Research | Photoshop Scripting

by karlcow

To script Photoshop (or any Mac OS X application that uses apple scripting) using Python, you need appscript. Appscript is a wrapper around Applescript and provides an (almost) intuitive OO-approach to scripting. You can compile it yourself, or use my precompiled package. To install the precompiled package, unpack it in /Library/Python/2.3 . There should now be a couple of folders and files: aem, appscript, HTMLTemplate.py and HTMLTemplate.pyc, LaunchServices, osaterminology and osax.

Storefront for Art and Architecture |

by karlcow

Through plans, sections, diagrams, charts and scale drawings,

49 cities are observed statistically and presented in an unprecedented comparative study, the result of a research project conducted over

several years. Despite the fact that they never actually existed, this history of utopian urbanism provides a remarkable insight into our

understanding of the contemporary metropolis.

Online many places get a new layer of reality. Fictional or not.
