John Mann Photography

by karlcow

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.

The Coffee machine on Twitter - flash and physical computing

by karlcow

This is an overview of the hardware/software/services I used:

Sensor > Arduino > Processing > PHP > Twitter

A LDR (light dependent resistor) is glued on the on/off led of the coffeemachine. When the coffeemachine is switched on the led turns on, the ldr detects this light. This LDR is connected to an Arduino microcontroller, Processing reads the value from the Arduino using Firmata and Processing sends this to a php file which will send it to Twitter.

Who Writes Wikipedia? (Aaron Swartz's Raw Thought)

by Spone & 1 other
So did the Gang of 500 actually write Wikipedia? Wales decided to run a simple study to find out: he counted who made the most edits to the site. “I expected to find something like an 80-20 rule: 80% of the work being done by 20% of the users, just because that seems to come up a lot. But it’s actually much, much tighter than that: it turns out over 50% of all the edits are done by just .7% of the users … 524 people. … And in fact the most active 2%, which is 1400 people, have done 73.4% of all the edits.” The remaining 25% of edits, he said, were from “people who [are] contributing … a minor change of a fact or a minor spelling fix … or something like that.”

Flickorama____Flash-based Flickr Mashup__ Impressive Pixel

by decembre
Taras Novak has created a Flash-based Flickr mashup he calls Flickorama that could be the basis for a lot of new, high-quality Flickr experiences. Flickorama has a number of things going for it: * an expressive, coherent visual design; * an appreciation for the fact that juxtaposition of photographs can lead to insight; * a full-screen mode that turns the application into an interactive lightbox; * several built-in ways to visually organize image sets. You start with Flickorama by entering in a search term; here are results for Yosemite, a Flickrological favorite and a reliable source of beautiful images. Once you have results back, you can use the arrangement toolbar to organize the images on the canvas

Cyber Monday, Marketing Myth

by karlcow

DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE. So what's up with this Cyber Monday idea? A little bit of reality and a whole lot of savvy marketing. It turns out that Shop.org, an association for retailers that sell online, dreamed up the term just days before putting out a Nov. 21 press release touting Cyber Monday as "one of the biggest online shopping days of the year."
