Not so long ago, the packaging design industry realised they could play with bar codes to communicate: it only requires a few millimeters tall of code for it to be read-able, so there’s plenty of things you can do with the rest of it. You’re probably not used to seeing any design applied to this part of a package, or most surely, you don’t even look at it. But in Japan it’s becoming a very ...

這是荷蘭某個基金會，要幫助無家可歸的孩子，所推出的產品。看起來，他是遊民用來取暖的紙板。但事實上，卻是真實的兩個枕頭與棉被。不能不說，這樣的反向設計，實在很有創意。最便宜的單人棉被要價33.95英磅，約1630元台幣，而一個枕頭要5.95歐元，近三百元台票。繼續閱讀全文要挑紙板當棉被取暖，這款一定最有效

You can go back and see how Google's homepage evolved in the past 10 years. The video uses cached versions of Google's homepage from Internet Archive.Google's special site for the 10th birthday shows 17 of the most interesting homepage interfaces and Philipp Lenssen analyzes some of them. My favorite Google homepage is the one from April 1999 which only included a search box, two buttons and a link to "More Google!". If you like it, ...

Reader envador details how to make a sturdy iPhone or iPod touch stand out of a simple paper clip. Disappointed with the lack of support from methods like the previously mentioned business card stand or dollar bill stand, envador set out to make a stand that would stand up in the face of extreme jostling. The result is the simple and solid stand you see in the video. He was even so kind as to ...

Google Reader gets tags for notes (like this one), alphabetical subscription and folder sorting, a new Options menu at the bottom of the subscription list that's just dying for more features, and some international sharing goodies. A marginal update, but a nice one nonetheless.

以前我根据自己的“症状”写过一篇文章讨论了RSS焦虑症，但并没有给出一些解决办法，因为当时我也深受其害。这么长一段时间以来，自己也在不断的摸索与思考：如何才能用最少的时间获取更多有价值的信息？怎么说也总结了一些细节与经验，所以随便说一些。由于我的RSS阅读是以Google Reader为主，FriendFeed为辅，再加上少量的鲜果热文，因此我就主要介绍在Google Reader中提高阅读效率的方法。想法拙劣，仅供参考，欢迎讨论、分享和拍砖。 筛选Feed，删除不必要的Feed 刚接触RSS的用户可能会将很多“一见钟情”的Feed添加到阅读器中，这种情况就像刚买手机时喜欢拿摄像头疯狂拍照一般，拍久了就发现摄像头成像质量差，耗电量也大。RSS也是如此，人的阅读时间与精力就像手机摄像头质量和电池一样都有一个最大值，Feed太多超过了这个最大值就会造成文章囤积和冗余。如果这时又无法割舍并继续花更多时间和精力去阅读的话，人必然会产生RSS焦虑，我们只能接受尽可能多的信息，而不是所有信息，所以筛选Feed是非常必要的。这里举个个人的例子，之前我一直都很喜欢Gizmodo的文章，其信息量大，范围广，更新快，又非常幽默。但后来因为其更新过快，一个晚上可能会有30~60条，又会将文章更新重新输出到Feed造成大量重复文章，再加上信噪比过低，逐渐失去了作为Blog文章来源的地位，因此虽然可能有比较有价值的内容出现，但我仍然将其退订了，以减少阅读压力。 设置文件夹与tag是必须的，设置一个“必读”的文件夹也是必须的 必读文件夹不仅可以在最少时间内让你准确获取最重要的信息（当然前提是要决定并组织好哪些Feed是必读的，这个到稍后再详解），而且如果你用手机版的Google Reader的话也会发现，设置一个必读的文件夹也是节约时间（指刷新页面和连接网络耗费的时间）和流量的好方法。而将大量的Feed分类tag以及文件夹则是每个GR使用者应该做的，将同类的Feed归类可以让你只需点击这个文件夹/Tag就可以浏览该类别下所有的文章，这些同类型的文章放在一起也可以让你的阅读更舒适更易被大脑接受。文件夹用于放置Feed，而Tag则是用来放置Feed中的文章的，这一点相信大家都明白。 Feed分类与必读Feed 将同类型的Feed的归类到同一文件夹里有助于统一管理与阅读，这个很简单没必要多阐述。而设置必读就需要自己多加揣摩，哪些Feed才是每天必读的。我的建议是：首先类似cnBeta这样范围广的资讯采集站应该是属于必读的，可以帮助你了解很全面的信息；其次根据个人喜好一些专业且一流的信息站点与Blog也应该是必读；Blog文章来源Feed也可以酌情设置必读；休闲类、网评类就不用必读了。Geedr.com可是要必读的呀！:) 关于文件夹/tag的排序 由于Google Reader是支持Feed列表排序的，所以，一个合适的排序也很重要。毫无疑问，最重要的信息源应该排在最上方，而一些带有提醒信息的Feed/文件夹/tag也应该在顶部或者靠近顶部醒目的位置。例如我的GR Feed列表最顶端是一个叫To-Do的Tag，这个Tag其实我不常阅读，但由于加入到这里的文章都是我在以后的时间必须阅读或者要做的事，因此放在顶部比放在其他位置更不容易被忽略或忘记。接下来我的排序就是downloading tag（包含有需要下载内容的文章，比如VeryCD的电影或者音乐）和必读文件夹，这三个都是很重要的类别所以必须在最上面。另外刚才提到了设置一个To-Do来“伪GTD”，其实也可以将需要To-Do的文章或者note通过Email发送到自己的邮箱或者支持邮件新建任务的GTD应用中，也可以达到提醒的作用。 关于阅读中的技巧 如果你时间很充裕，建议你用Expand View来一篇一篇仔细阅读。如果时间紧迫，那就必须得用List View来浏览标题了（所以标题党是很重要的 J ）并结合mark all as read来标记已读，当遇到重要的文章时再点击查看全文，这个时候通常只阅读必读文件夹就行了，剩下的未读文章根据情况不做处理或者直接mark all as read。Feed较少时，阅读All items即可，以减少跳转文件夹所耗费的时间；而Feed较多时，则可将单个Feed和Feed文件夹结合阅读，以免不同类型的文章交错在阅读列表中影响阅读兴致。 快捷键操作 快捷键是个好东西，像j/k(n/p)、Shift+o、Shift+j/k(Shift+n/p)、s、Shift+s这样的必要快捷键是绝对要记住的。就算你有充裕时间，使用快捷键也可以降低手的疲劳度，还提高了APM，何乐而不为？Google Reader提供的快捷键几乎可以完成所有操作，详见这里。 未完待续。下篇将带来其他六个实用的RSS轻松阅读方法，尽情关注 您可能还对以下的话题感兴趣 FriendFeed: Google Reader的最佳替补 [I’M LOVIN’ IT] FeedBurner即将回到我们身边？ [BACK INSIDE] 有道阅读开始内测火星版 [HELLO, MARS & PHOENIX] Toluu: 分享、挖掘Feeds的社区 [RSS 2.0] 维基百科和电影界的六度分隔理论 [SIX IS WORLD] © Geedr.com - Geek Reader,面向Geek的精选网络读物 | 原文链接 | 还没有评论 me musicing - 给你一个欣赏音乐的理由Contribute commentMAKE Magazine (1514) permalink
