Cory Doctorow: Still one step ahead

Cory Doctorow: Still one step ahead 02/15/2004 10:44 AM
Cory Doctorow has relicensed his book, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. Last year he released it under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs -- license. In so doing, he proved conventional wisdom about "free distribution" wrong -- the book did exceptionally well. Now, without even waiting for the rest of the publishing world to catch up, he's taken the next great leap: the book is now available under one of the least restrictive licenses -- Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike. Already, cool versions are emerging. Here's a Speed Reading tool for both new books by Trevor Smith.

Whoa. People I know are in the Apple Music store. I can pay to download last year's Fray Cafe and the 2001 Fray too (I can buy Lance Arthur and Mena Trott for 99 cents!). The Brad Sucks album is there too (psst: you can download it from his site for free, and it's unencrypted or buy the CD direct from him like I did). I even see a search for "Scott Andrew" is turning a song up from the Fray CD, with hopefully more to come.

In the aftermath of the tsunamis that devastated Asia in late December 2004, observers pointed out that lack of official, credible information gave victims and governments in the area little prior warning of the impending disaster. Although still in the developmental stages, a partnership of the Global Disaster Information Network (GDIN) and the Organsation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is creating an information system that may significantly reduce the impact of future natural and manmade disasters. Native American Pueblo and Navajo Nations in Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado are providing pilot sites for the GDIN system. [PRWEB Jan 5, 2005]

Staying social 06/05/2005 11:35 PM

June is finals month, but the call of @media 2005 is hard to resist. I won't be attending the actual conference (sadly my student budget doesn't stretch that far) but I'll be in London on Saturday the 11th to ride on the coat-tails of the conference.

PPK (yes, that PPK) is hosting a JavaScript get-together in the afternoon at a Thames-side pub; confirmed attendees so far are PPK, myself, Stuart Langridge, Dean Edwards and Jeremy Keith but anyone else who wants to set the JavaScript world to rights is more than welcome to attend.

Planning a little further ahead, I'll be in and around San Francisco from the 11th to the 16th of July. My diary is more or less open at the moment, so if there's anything fun going on I'd love to hear about it.

Update: I almost forgot, I'm also attending the London Geek Dinner on the 7th of June. If you're interested, there are still 12 places left (out of 200).

Staying valid

Staying valid 05/02/2004 05:01 PM

Andrei Herasimchuk:

There seems no automatic way to keep a site valid with web standards unless you close it off to the rest of the world to contribute to it. I will not do that anytime soon.

There is: I'm doing it. Next Thursday will mark the one year anniversary of my switching to application/xhtml+xml as the content-type header for this site, for user agents that support it. Using that content-type forces Gecko engine browsers to refuse to render pages if they are not well-formed XML, so if a page is invalid I hear about it pretty quickly.

So how do you keep a frequently updated site with data from external sources and user comments valid? There are really only two things you need to do. Firstly, ensure that everything going IN to the system (entries and comments) is valid XHTML. I do that using a simple validation system for comments and a bookmarklet for my own entries. Secondly, any and all data from external sources (my blogroll from blo.gs, blogmark URLs added using a bookmarklet) needs to be entity-escaped before being displayed on the site. In my case, a call to PHP's htmlspecialchars() function is all that's needed.

I'm not saying my system is ideal - the need for well formed markup in comments is a major usability issue even on a site with an audience consisting mostly of web developers. But it's certainly possible to operate a site in XHTML with frequent updates and user comments while staying valid at the same time.

Staying creative in the Mac design world

Staying creative in the Mac design world 03/14/2005 04:22 PM
Working in the Macintosh design industry can be both inspiring and rewarding, but maintaining a solid stance in the increasingly competitive field takes the latest software and hardware, a creative mind, and artistic talent. Just as Mac users often show an incredible amount of enthusiasm for their computers, creative individuals show passion for their work. Being passionate about creative work also takes a certain amount of inspiration. So, how do design professionals stay inspired and maintain a creative outlook? Brian Brisebois is a Senior Art Director at a Minneapolis advertising agency and manages to stay creative by studying everything around him from a design aspect. "I constantly experiment in different styles, techniques and mediums... testing in different art forms gives new perspectives," Brisebois told Spymac. "I read several creative trade magazines, go to museums and don't go anywhere without my camera. Try to keep-up on applications as much as I can." Chicago designer and artist, Matt Maldre also tries to keep on top of what's new in the computer industry and art world. "It's just almost a standard to look through Print, CA, etc., but I just don't just look at the pretty pictures," Maldre says. "I try to read these magazines from cover to cover." Self-educated graphic/web designer and cartoonist, Thomas Michaud, has been working as a freelance or corporate employee on and off for 17 years and has maintained a creative outlook by carrying out different design work like drawing cartoons, designing clothing logos as well as doing freelance work. "I started out drawing political and strip cartoons for the The University Daily Kansan, at the University of Kansas, between 1988 and 1991 where I studied Political Science - with an English minor. After graduation, I moved onto t-shirt design and corporate newsletter layouts and then onto ad and catalog layouts. After moving to southwest Michigan, in 2001 to marry my wife, I've been working as an in-house graphic designer/illustrator and some video production for Lane Automotive, along with various freelance projects through my personal business IVfx." There are a number of things that Michaud says help him stay creative. "The first thing that helps me to stay creative is to just get away from all design for about a week or two - taking a vacation to just recharge my mind." With time off from design, Michaud enjoys reading, playing sports, video games, and working on his house and yard. To gain inspiration, he subscribes to design magazines and reads various blogs published by graphic and web designers. Some of Michaud's inspirational sites include Mike Davidson, Camron Moll, Jason Santa Maria, Netdiver, Core Industries Gallery, monc, HOW Design, Veer and Speak Up.

Four years from now, America will have 5,000 dead servicemen and women and an untold number of dead Iraqis at a cost of about $1 trillion, yet still be no closer to success than we are right now, or The U.S. will be gone, and we will witness the birth of a violent breeding ground for Shiite terrorists posing a far greater threat to Americans than a contained Saddam."

Staying Alive: Robot Recharging

Staying Alive: Robot Recharging 12/02/2003 12:23 AM
Boyoon Jung and other researchers at the USC Center for Robotic and Embedded System (CRES) have been studying the problem of how to keep robots alive for extended periods when they depend on batteries that last a finite amount of time. They have released a research paper (PDF format) that describes a method of allowing robots to become self-sustaining by autonomously recharging as needed. Their idea, not suprisingly, combines a docking station for recharging with power management software that allows the robot to intelligently decided when to interrupt other tasks for recharging. Boyoon's website includes video clips of their robot docking (AVI format) and busy at its normal sentry activity (AVI format).
