This is part one in a series about how our impending identity crisis is funking our souls. I'm really fired up about this subject of identity and soul and I'm planning to use this for some upcoming speaking engagements I have later this fall. In 1853, Napoleon III issued an Imperial decree for a new company to be established in France called Compagnie Générale des Eaux (CGE). CGE was a utility company providing water to ...

It applies to church, it applies to my day job, it applies to marriage, being a dad, everything. Losing a sense of identity and purpose is a sure course to disaster. In any of those areas.

I have yet to find a more dedicated and engaged group of social media enthusiasts outside of the Iowa demographic. And while these people may not be creating web 2.0 startups out of their garages, they are definitely heavily involved in the web 2.0 universe - far more than I ever thought a remote village like Des Moines could ever possibly be.

"The movie provides an interesting contrast to the Half Life model of Fallingwater built by Kasperg. Using the Source Engine, as opposed to more traditional Architectural Software, allows the use of dynamic lighting and a real-time walkthrough of the scene in high resolution"

I want to write a novel. What word processor do you recommend? Yesterday on the radio, Jimmy Wales was talking about the Wikipedia movement. A caller who identified himself as a strategist at Amnesty International asked: We're going to build a website to promote freedom and democracy and human rights. What software should we use? Really. If you want to do something worth doing, you'll need two things: passion and architecture. The tools will take ...

This is such an apt observation. It goes to the heart of the Mac versus PC arguement, as well. They're tools. They're pencils. Pick the one that works for you.

Recently, we reconstructed a perfect copy of Apple I BASIC, the first piece of software Apple ever sold - in 1976. Now it is time to make something useful out of it. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could use Apple I BASIC to replace, say, Perl? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could do this:$ cat reverse.bas#!/usr/bin/apple1basic10 DIM A$(100)20 INPUT A$30 FOR I = LEN(A$) TO 1 STEP -140 PRINT A$(I,I);50 NEXT I60 PRINT70 ...

Granted, I learned to program via BASIC, but why would I want to replace Perl with BASIC??? Seems like a step backwards.

Very cool, easy technique for some pretty complex animation. Wish I'd found this tool in the past. Again - just another example of how I can use this software for years and still find new stuff all the time.

The New York Times, tomorrow, has an article about the controversy over using Internet communications tools like Qik and Twitter and whether they should be allowed to be used by members of Congress. Both Qik and Twitter should be thanking Congressman John Culberson (that’s him, being Qik interviewed by me and Andrew Feinberg). You can read his Twitter account here and you can watch his Qik videos here. It’s amazing how this all started when ...

Chris said:
Qik in Congress would be great. Currently, there are some inane rules about what CSPAN can or cannot film, rules about zooming in on a speaker or not showing the crowd, which is often empty seats. Qik would be the appropriate advancement in this new internet age.

Here's some interesting research that looks at Apple's branding and its impact on viewers: [Researchers at Duke University] found that exposing people to a brand's logo for 30 milliseconds will make them behave in ways associated with that brand ... Surveys found that people felt similarly about the two companies in every way except creativity, where Apple came out ahead, and competence, which was IBM's perceived strength. After exposing them to the brands, the researchers ...
