Enkin from Enkin on Vimeo. We have always been perplexed by companies building 3D cities for mobile devices as by nature of the device you are already in the city when using it and thus can just use your 'eyes' to look around. The same goes for maps, maps in cities are all well and good for getting from A-B but they fall down when you just want to know more local information at a ...

Pick An Unusual Name - hyphens, adverbs and acronyms will always make you seem smarter and better qualified. “David St. Hubbins … I must admit I’ve never heard anybody with that name. It’s an unusual name, well, he was an unusual saint, he’s not a very well known saint. What was he the saint of? He was the patron saint of quality footwear.” Never Explain Why Your Staff Are Leaving - the only value your ...

I decided to look at some other webpages in the shared browser we have at Wimbledon. Of particular interest is the F1 british grand prix. Now having had some issues (still not resolved with over zealous copyright take downs of a youtube of the grounds that I posted thanks to IMG for trying to police the wrong thing and youtube not putting things back up as quickly as they take them down.) elements of copyright ...

Harlan Ellison turned 74 years of age the other week. And so I dug out my copies of THE GLASS TEAT and THE OTHER GLASS TEAT, the collections of his columns on television written circa 1969-1971, and began to re-read them, as I do every couple of years. The thing you need to know about the GLASS TEAT books is that, for all the wrong reasons, they’re timeless. The states of American network tv, dissent ...

harlan ellison is one of my longtime favorite writers. i don't recall whether he's written anything recently, though. i guess once you're able to publish a 50-year retrospective of your work, you can rest on your laurels a bit.

I’ve been flirting with Buzzword since just prior to its acquisition by Adobe and inclusion into their online office suite. The interface is gorgeous and the amount of functionality is astounding for an online document editor. However, all that sparkle comes with a cost. Every time I go to Buzzword to work on one of my documents, it takes two to three minutes to load. It first loads the “framework” then it loads the “organizer”. ...

I just want to put it out there to save everyone and anyone who deals with me time. If at any point in time you utter the words "Just Don't Get It" or "Just Doesn't Get It" in any conversation with me, I will not do business with you.If you try to justify your business, idea, proposal or whatever and in the course of conversation you utter these words, you have just proven to me ...

Mark Cuban is right on this, if your client doesn't understand your product then that's your fault not theirs.

Totally right. If you can't communicate it to me successfully -- and that's based on receipt, not transmission -- it's not me, it's you.

I have been giving a lot of thought lately to what impact rising inflation might have on digital media. One strong possibility is that print will get crimped. Consider this a rather simplistic theory for a Saturday morning. However, it's my view that - as if they didn’t have enough to worry about - newspaper and magazine publishers may see a perfect storm accelerate if gas prices continue to escalate. There are three factors at ...

Interesting story today on RADAR about Gawker Media cutting revenue per impression for its hacks even while revenue and traffic increases: ....the per-employee traffic isn't that much higher than it was a year ago. And yet the site traffic is up more—meaning the site is receiving more income that the company doesn't have to share with a writer. The site received 16.7 million pageviews in June. Only about 6 million pageviews of that traffic is ...

Interesting post on RADAR online about Nick Denton cutting pay rates for Gawker Media bloggers. I posted a comment which I'll share below.Hey Choire,Some notes on your story from one of Nick's top three Frienemies. 1. Despite this change in pay Gawker is very, very competitive in terms of not only blogging jobs, but MSM jobs. Most full-time folks at Gawker are probably making 3-5k a month/36-60k a year, and some are in the 60-100k ...
