Designing PowerPoint presentations is FUN! And this is one I’ve wanted to work on for years. For almost ten years now, actually. It is the first time I’m presented the session and it a new direction, so *fingers crossed*. If nothing else, it will be unexpected, fun, entertaining and I *really* think, thought provoking. If you happen to be near Lincoln, NE tomorrow, why not swing by? A more *ahem* “refined” and adjusted version will ...

If you don't speak German, you may at least enjoy the video below, in which Mark demoes the new HP TouchSmart PC (frog did the software UI) and the fully frog-designed TurboChef high-speed oven -- as perfect examples of how the convergence of software and ...

Last week, during an amazing trip to Kansas to speak at the NEKLS Tech Day 2008 (more about that in another post), David and I took a day to record a song that we had been working on together for a couple of months via phone, email and the interweb tubes. We started pretty early and had a happy, long day of fun, creativity, meeting family and, well, making music about the most exciting things ...

last night I went and had a good dig into the blog led by Dr. Michael Wesch I was intrigued initially by his amazing films first sparked by The machine is Us/ing us In a section of his presentation to the Library of Congress - Wesch discusses identity and context and uses a phrase context collapse. This topic is widely discussed on his blog posting. Wesch writes In face-to-face communication events we carefully assess the ...

The days when organizations carefully cultivated vast data centers consisting of an endless sea of hardware and software are not over, at least not yet. However, the groundwork for their eventual transformation and downsizing is rapidly being laid in the form of something increasingly known as “cloud computing.” This network-based model for computing promises to move many traditional IT capabilities out to 3rd party services on the network.

Some interesting thoughts from The imperatives of the link economy 1. All content must be transparent: open on the web with permanent links so it can receive links. It’s not content until it’s linked. 2. The recipient of links is the party responsible for monetizing the audience they bring. In the old content-economy model of syndication, the creator sells content to another and the one who syndicates has to come up with the ad or ...

No one has said that the road to software as a service (SaaS) was going to be smooth, but Cast Iron Systems is trying to soften some of the bigger bumps with the latest offering in its “configuration not coding approach” to integration. The Mountain View, Calif. company last week announced the Cast Iron iA4000 series, an appliance designed to expedite integrating on-demand services with other on-demand services or with on-premise applications.

It's a lovely sunny day and I'm feeling happy, but I took a deep breath and mentally prepared myself to feel miserable before reading Paul's post [Should journalism degrees still prepare students for a news industry that doesn’t want them? | Online Journalism Blog] . Paul's question is highly controversial and, of course, the responses make for very interesting reading. One thing that dominates a lot of journalism degrees is the philosophy that journalism is ...

Speed is Good, Time is the Devil said Hitachi and John Thackera in his book In the Bubble writes that Our designed world reinforces the value we place upon speed. But the signs are that speed is a cultural paradigm whose time is up. Economic growth and a constant acceleration in production have run against the limited carrying capacity of the planet. Many of us want faster computers, but we also want more balanced lives ...

Mojo recently posted an article asking if conventions are doomed -- especially in the fall out of the fiascos of Jumpcon and Fed Con USA over the last couple of months. I paid some attention to Jumpcon -- and I'm sorry, I never believed for a second that they'd be successful. They were unrealistically ambitious, and they seemed to be stuck in a time warp from the 1980s.I think Mojo has a very good point ...
