Encastrable - today and tomorrow
Encastrable is French collective which does guerrilla interventions at gardening and DIY megastores in the Paris area. They just use the materials available in the stores for their temporary installations and sculptures. They didn’t ask for permission so it was only a matter of time till the employees cleaned up behind them.

Exits: Yahoo's Do-Nothings Set to Bleed Purple
The nature of corporations as they grow is to become glacial and bureaucratic because no one trusts anyone. You spend half the day reporting on what you do so execs higher up can keep an eye on you because they believe that some how, you're out to destroy the company. And probably, some number of employees are. Or at the very least, not working up to their potential. Here's an idea, do some careful hiring and recruiting, hire people who are excellent at their jobs AND have some moral fiber, and set them loose to do what you hired them for. No one gets hired to fill out status reports, but that's mostly what we all end up doing. So the good people leave for greener, entrepreneurial pastures, and the people happy about status reports stay, get promoted and the whole thing perpetuates itself until you have Yahoo, GM or any other number of glacial bureauracracies.

authoring is the keyThere are some Flash fans in the crowd, who ask quite rightly whether all this will be made simpler with great tools, like what Adobe provides for Flash. We do need better tools, but I ask him to wait till I talk about tools in The Cloud.

Wait till I come! » Blog Archive » Generating charts from accessible data tables and vice versa using the Google Charts API
Google have lately been praised for their chart API and my esteemed colleague Ed Eliot has a workaround for its restrictions in terms of caching and server hits. I played around a bit with it and thought it very cool but it felt a bit clunky to add all these values to a URL when they could be in the document for those who cannot see pie charts. This is why I wrote a small script that converts data tables to charts using the API and a wee bit of JavaScript. Using this script you can take a simple, valid and accessible data table like the following and it gets automatically converted to a pie chart.
