Today

Full Interview: Viktor Mayer-Schönberger on forgetting in a digital age | Spark | CBC Radio

That means that Google has more informational power over us, and that’s a concern. A related concern is the fact that we must understand and realize whatever we say today will or might be held against us in the future.

Closure Library - Google Code

The Closure Library is a broad, well-tested, modular, and cross-browser JavaScript library. You can pull just what you need from a large set of reusable UI widgets and controls, and from lower-level utilities for DOM manipulation, server communication, animation, data structures, unit testing, rich-text editing, and more.

scraplab — The Scruffying of Print

So you design things with high tolerances and gentle failure modes which still look OK when everything isn’t quite as expected.

This is something that print is going to have to get used to. Slightly messier, with a few more bad line breaks and unbalanced columns.

About New York - Raphael Golb’s Aliases Enlivened Debate Over Dead Sea Scrolls - NYTimes.com

That 1993 cartoon could use an update. On the Internet today, everybody knows you’re a dog.

Map Kibera

Kibera in Nairobi, Kenya, widely known as Africa's largest slum, remains a blank spot on the map. Without basic knowledge of the geography and resources of Kibera it is impossible to have an informed discussion on how to improve the lives of residents.

Le livre dans le tourbillon numérique, par Cédric Biagini et Guillaume Carnino (Le Monde diplomatique)

Après s’être longtemps opposée aux ambitions de Google, la Bibliothèque nationale de France (BNF) a annoncé mi-août qu’elle négociait avec lui pour la numérisation de ses ouvrages. Où mène le gigantesque fleuve de culture rendue « liquide » par le passage au virtuel ? Qui le contrôlera ? La montée en puissance de l’e-book (livre électronique) conduit certains à redouter les mirages de la bibliothèque universelle et la dilution de l’espace démocratique dans le gigantisme commercial.

BBC - Digital Revolution Blog: Rushes Sequences - Biz Stone and Evan Williams interview - USA (Video)

there was a popular blogger and he also had a Twitter account and he was complaining that his cable was out, and he was I'm going to write about this cable company, Compass and how terrible they are and its going to be the number one search result in, in search engines for year to come. And they were monitoring Twitter search for any mentions of they're brand name. And they saw that within a few minutes and they replied to him on Twitter, and they said what seems to be the problem, they were going to send a van out to your house. And they had his cable fixed in like 30 minutes, so the next day the blog post was, Compass has great customer service, and it was like a, you know a complete reversal and we were like wow, they're really smart about it,

*soupir* Ce que la marque a fait est un coup médiatique pas une réponse qui est « scalable » Un compte twitter pour une marque ne va pas remplacer le service SAV (avec des centaines de personnes derrière le téléphone). La qualité du service et la réponse de la marque étaient bonnes car elles étaient un coup unique, et réalisées par une personne du service Communications de l'entreprise. Imaginons maintenant les milliers d'appels quotidiens pour une grande marque. Twitter ? Des centaines de comptes twitter ? Des centaines de gens pour y répondre. Baisse de la qualité et du service, baisse de la croyance en l'opération marketing, retour à la case départ. Qu'est-ce qui manque ? La communauté ! Un social media n'existe que si la communauté devient autonome.

Between Mission Statement and Parametric Model: Places: Design Observer

The project also didn’t much consider the crews of low-wage farm workers that would be needed to plant and harvest the crops of the ambitious vertical farm; presumably these crews would share elevators and stairwells with the residents of the market-rate condos above.

Manque de culture des étudiants, environnement protégé, vouloir concevoir plus vert et plus social mais sans avoir la connaissance du terrain. Shahn dans « The Shape of Content » recommandait à tous les étudiants d'art d'aller travailler dans les champs pour comprendre la terre, sa couleur, sa matière, l'aspect social.

Stefano’s Linotype » Data Smoke and Mirrors

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.

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 ? »

Dynamic Diagrams : Information Design Watch : The Virtue of Forgetting

Now today there are few human beings who, for biological reasons, cannot forget. What sounds like a blessing, they certainly do remember where they parked their car in a shopping mall. It turns out that they have tremendous difficulties in acting in time, in deciding in time, because they remember all their bad, failed decisions in the past, and therefore hesitate to make a decision in the present.

Recyclable Paper Laptop by Je Sung Park » Yanko Design

I quite agree with Je Sung Park when he says that disposable cameras and cell phones have gained acceptance, so why don’t we take the next step and bring out a disposable computer. His Recyclable Paper Laptop is quite a raw version and could do with some refinement. It uses recycled paper or pulp material all packed in layers. This is so that you can easily replace the damaged portions (even corrugated paper will tear easy). The vibe of a Paper Laptop is intriguing, I kno eventually someone will figure out the tech bit, so let’s see who will take the bait.
