The Shifted DJ?

The Shifted DJ? 06/21/2004 02:07 PM

One of my goals for the near future is to set up a Shoutcast stream of the music on my home computer in order to listen to it on the go on my Treo 600 using the fabulous Pocket Tunes program. Icecast may also be an option, but that's as far I've gotten in my research.

Tonight I had another thought. If I put a TV tuner card in my computer, will it receive Comcast's digital music stations (which are commercial-free), which I could then turn into Shoutcast (or other) streams? Can I make my own version of satellite radio (albeit an inferior one) using a service to which I already subscribe?

Please leave/send comments or suggestions about this idea!

A Very Shifted OCLC Blog

A Very Shifted OCLC Blog 07/09/2004 12:16 AM

It was only a matter of time. OCLC started to "get" RSS and began providing a feed for research announcements earlier this year, and now they're blogging, too. Well, a few of them are, anyway, and it's the folks behind the Environmental Scan leading the way. Why? Because It's All Good. :-)

"A cool blog from OCLC Online Computer Library Center staff about all things future that impact libraries and library users. A conversation that starts with the Environmental Scan and goes from there."

And there's an Atom feed since it's on Blogger.

Shifted Libraries on WEB4LIB

Shifted Libraries on WEB4LIB 03/14/2005 06:23 PM

Over on the WEB4LIB mailing list, there's been a fascinating discussion evolving about marketing, ubiquity, and library web services. It kind of starts here in a comment about Gmail but you'll need to use the date index to follow where it goes.

You already know where I fall in the debate (I'm closely aligned with Kare n Schneider's and Alan e Wilson's responses), so I'll just encourage you to read through the whole thing (watch the subject lines - they morph into new ones) because it's one of the better discussions I've seen on the topic lately with lots of good points. Finally, we're seeing a more aggressive conversation!

One thread I do want to highlight (well, I hope it becomes a thread), is Stephen De Gabrielle's attempt to suggest a course of action. There were other suggestions, but this is a new one that could help long-term if we can get the vendors to agree to it.

"Why don't we have a common API for all ILS? - and demand these of our ILS vendors.(Libraries have always led the way in standards.)

I assume this list is as good a place as any to start the process.

What do list members think would be appropriate services for such and API?"

Maybe then we could focus all of our various programming efforts on the greater good instead of just our own local catalogs.

A Generation of Shifted Kids Growing Up

A Generation of Shifted Kids Growing Up 10/31/2003 01:38 AM

Studie s: 90 Percent of Kids Use Computers

"About 90 percent of people ages 5 to 17 use computers and 59 percent of them use the Internet -- rates that are, in both cases, higher than those of adults. Even kindergartners are becoming more plugged in: One out of four 5-year-olds uses the Internet.

The figures come from a new Education Department analysis of computer and Internet use by children and adolescents in 2001. A second report from the agency, based on 2002 data, shows 99 percent of public schools have Internet access, up from 35 percent eight years ago.

'Children are often the first adopters of a lot of technology,' said John Bailey, who oversees educational technology for the department. 'They grow up with it. They don't have to adapt to it. ... Students, by and large, are dominating the Internet population.'

By the time they're age 10, 60 percent of children use the Internet. That number grows to almost 80 percent for kids who are 16....

Like adults, young people are going online for a range of reasons, the government research shows. Almost three in four use the Internet for help with school assignments, while more than half use it for writing e-mail, sending instant messages or playing games....

Almost two-thirds of young white people use the Internet, but less than half of black people ages 5 to 17 do, and slightly more than a third of Hispanic young people log on. Part of the reason is access -- 80 percent of black students use computers at school, for example, but only 41 percent do so at home, according to the 2001 report.

'We need to address the limited access to technology that many students have outside of school,' Education Secretary Rod Paige said. 'There is much more we can do.' " [Salon]

Like stop cutting library funding and closing libraries? That would be a good start. Then maybe we could go back to teaching information literacy to all children (and adults).

Cool, Shifted SCSU Services

Cool, Shifted SCSU Services 06/05/2005 11:24 PM

Rebecca Hedreen is doing lots of very cool things in her users' worlds, not just within the four walls of her building. For starters, her Frequently Answered Questions blog is intended specifically to help distance education students at Southern Connecticut State University (which, of course, gives her an automatic feed for syndication). On that blog, a post from last month notes some of the ways you can ask a question, one of which - Chatango - I was unfamiliar with.

"Please note that I also have new icons for my online status for chat and IM. Generally, if I'm ‘online’ for all of them, I'm likely to be in my office--so I'm likely to be available by phone and email at that time, too.

Please try the various services out--Skype may be of particular interest to our international contingent. If you download the software (and sign up for an account) you can call just about anywhere in the world to another Skype user for free--and to regular phones for a discounted rate. All you need is a broadband connection and a microphone on your computer (not an insignificant requirement).

The chat service (http://delibrarian.chatango.co m/) requires no downloads or registration, only Macromedia Flash Player. If I'm not online, you can leave me a message (please include your email!) and I will get it as soon as I login.

The two IM services, MSN Messenger and AIM, do require registration, but they both have web interfaces, so you don't have to download the software. If you are not using them from home, please check the regulations at your workplace, school, or library. Many places still discourage the use of chat and/or IM and I don't want to get anyone in trouble! You may want to point out the number of libraries that are now using IM for Virtual Reference, if you want to try and get policies changed." [Frequently Answered Questions]

I love the idea of offering Skype, Flash-based chat, and IM options to cover the broad spectrum of online – especially distant – users. Hopefully Rebecca will provide more details, and maybe even a review, of Chatango for use within libraries. She’s embedded other cool things on the blog, too, like a link to Subscribe by email with rssfwd for those users that don’t have aggregators. I love this page, too!

My exploration of Rebecca’s work all started, though, with a link to her Library’s page describing Search Plugins and Scripts for the Firefox Browser, where you’ll find what are quickly becoming standard FF search plugins for the catalog and their journal locator. However, she’s also playing around with xISBN GreaseMonkey scripts, and she’s included GM extensions for WorldCat and and her catalog from Amazon! I definitely need some time to further explore this whole concept, but here’s how Rebecca describes it on her Library’s plugin page:

“These scripts create icons next to the titles of books on Amazon.com linking to the CONSULS catalog or the OCLC WorldCat ‘Find in your Library’ database. GreaseMonkey is a Firefox Extension that runs scripts to cause changes in the appearance and/or actions of a web page. Not all web pages will run these scripts.”

Last week, knowledge god Gary Price took some time to light my bulb regarding the NeedleSearch toolbar, a service that makes it stupidly easy to create your own toolbar for your library’s catalog, no programming required! He first wrote this up all the way back in 2003, and it’s still a good read. Highly recommended.

With all of this innovation coming on the Mozilla/Firefox side, you have to wonder how far libraries could take all of this. I want to push a lot of this with our SWAN catalog and create various plugins and toolbars, highlight them all on a single page, and let SWAN members either point to it or copy the code onto their own sites. Rich Allen sent me a link to NOBLE's Firefox Tips and Tricks, which comes close to this. It even mentions Smart Keywords, including how to use this with EBSCO. My only quibble is that all of this is hidden from their home page.

Let power users be power users they way they want to be, not by forcing them to use our advanced search screens! All I need are a few more hours in each day….

Amazingly Shifted Round-up from My
Aggregator

Amazingly Shifted Round-up from My
Aggregator 03/14/2005 06:23 PM

I couldn’t have planned this better if I’d tried, but this theme leapt out in 3D from my aggregator yesterday. Together, they don’t even need any commentary, although the easy one would be to just restate yesterday’s tagline that you can go on thinking these trends won’t affect libraries, but you’d be burying your head in the sand.

In the order they were posted:

Sendo X2 Packs a Punch with Music and Light Weight
“The new X2 Music Phone features stereo sound, MP3/AAC/AAC+ format support, plus Bluetooth and USB to move your music.  It will also feature a 1.3 megapixel camera with support for 1GB miniSD memory for storing your music, photos, and video.  Finally all of this content will be brought to you by a rather large 2.2 inch 65k display.  Oh, and did we mention this whole package clocks in at a mere 95 grams?” [Engadget]

MP3 Players Storm the World
“I hardly ever do ‘here's the news’ entries, but the Pew Report released today stands almost without comment for anyone following podcasting and related technologies. ‘We just got the results of the survey we took between January 13 and February 9 and for the first time asked a question to find out how many American adults have iPods or MP3 players. The answer is 11% -- or more than 22 million of those who are age 18 and older. It’s safe to say that there are several million more MP3 players owned in the teen world, but we did not survey teens in this poll.’ ” [Free Range Librarian]

Motorola E1060: The iTunes Phones“So here it is, the mythical iTunes phone. The Motorola E1060 will be the first Motorola handset to run the mobile Java version of iTunes that will become the default media player for future Motorola handsets.” [Gizmodo]

Sony Ericsson Introducing Walkman Cellphones
“Remember how the other day Sony Ericsson said that 2005 is all about listening to music on cellphones? Yeah, well they’re cashing in on the Sony part of their parentage with a new line of Walkman-branded music playing cellphones. They don’t have any prototypes or pics or anything to show off, but they did announce today at the big 3GSM World Congress (which is why there is so much damn cellphone news) that they’re going to introduce the line in March. They say the phones will have large amounts of memory, good headphones, the ability to easily transfer songs over from a PC, and will work with Sony’s Connect online music store.” [Engadget] 

Thanks to Cellphones, TV Screens Get Smaller
“Three original television series, including a spinoff of ‘24,’ are making their debut on Verizon's new high-speed cellular phone network.” [New York Times]

Portable Future
“We seem to be on the verge of a big breakthrough in portable entertainment similar to the emergence of so many MP3 players back in 1999-2000. This time, the breakthrough isn't yet another device to lug around weighing down pockets already overloaded with cell phones, digital cameras, iPods and other cancer-inducing battery-powered leg warmers. Instead, we are extended support for existing formats in the same old devices we've grown accustomed to fill our pants…. The convergence that succeeds will combine audio and video player with what we currently recognize as a cell phone into one unified portable entertainment hub, finally providing some justification for that $25-per-month unlimited Internet access charge…. When Nokia announces improved support for Real media formats, Windows Media and Flash in the same week, it's time to take notice.” [Jake Ludington’s Digital Lifestyle]

More Cell Phone Functionality
“Cell phones do alot already. Companies are looking at adding even more functionality:

• Internet radio
• Music
• Document scanning
• Three-dimensional sound….

You can read more about these ideas at CNE T.com.” [Library Technology in Texas]

Shifted Librarian unpacks free CDs from
the RIAA

Shifted Librarian unpacks free CDs from
the RIAA 08/23/2004 06:36 AM
Cory Doctorow: As a requirement of its price-fixing settlement with the Feds, the RIAA is obliged to give thousands of CDs to public libraries. However, as has been noted, the CDs they're sending around are worse than shit: hundreds of copies of the years-old Whitney Houston single of the Star Spangled Banner, that species of kidney.

Jenny Levine (AKA the Shifted Librarian) works at a library where the RIAA care packages have started to come in. She reports on the contents thereof:

Several of the boxes are literally cut on the side, and the cut goes into the jewel cases themselves. Hence my declaration that we received a ton of "cut-outs." Some of the boxes even have dates of 2001 and 2002 posted on the labels, which I hope doesn't mean the date they were boxed up and put into storage. There is no way these boxes were packed by mistake as the result of a computer glitch. Some of the labels very clearly say 30 copies of this or that title, and I highly doubt the labels were supposed to cut the boxes after boxing and labeling them.

House, MD

House, MD 04/14/2005 06:15 AM

The Idea: Go watch House MD now. Way too good to last. The last time I recommended a television series (Karen Sisco, and the recommendation was due to early-episode writing by creator Elmore Leonard), it was the kiss of death. I seem to have had this effect on the handful of good television series over the past decade: The Big Easy, Dave's World, Reasonable Doubts, Max Bickford and the best of them all, Aaron Sorkin's Sports Night. What distinguished all of these series was excellent writing: You didn't even have to watch -- you could enjoy just listening to the smart, quirky dialogue, and the rich, carefully woven story-lines. So I'm almost afraid to go to bat for the latest well-written drama (on the Faux network yet -- sheesh), House MD. The show features British theatrical actor (accent undetectable) Hugh Laurie as the eponymous Dr. Gregory House MD, brilliant but bitter medical specialist, whose team must solve the medical mysteries lesser minds have given up on. Some of the medical cases are intriguing, usually with wry twists, but the real magic in the program is the dialogue, which sparkles and hasn't an ounce of fat on it. The writing is mostly done (I think -- writing credits are hard to catch in Hollywood productions) by Sara Cooper and Lawrence Kaplow, who were last seen as the writers of Hack, the short-lived and claustrophobic (but also cleverly-scripted) drama that featured David Caruso as a disgraced cop working as a cabbie. I've seen quite a few well-written shows destroyed by studio and network hacks insisting on more 'human interest' (i.e. improbable 'cute' romances that are dragged out like soap opera story lines), more 'action' (i.e. simpler shorter dialogue and more implausible disasters with ample shouting and shooting), or more 'conflict' (i.e. black-hat stereotypes that conspire and do inconceivably mean things to impossibly good guys, also a soap opera staple). The Pretender actually took a soap opera actor and, thanks to good writing, made him engaging and heroic -- but the hacks dumbed down the show and refocused it on the conspiracy of 'the center' and the absurd Snidely Whiplash-level nastiness of the antagonists. The (anti-)hero was reduced to a comic book caricature and the program became unwatchable. Same thing happened to Max Bickford, which started brilliantly but was soon forced by the studio to introduce more romance and bigger roles for the young actors on the show (i.e. shed the older-demographic skew because advertisers know older viewers buy less, and less impulsively). Richard Dreyfuss could have been excused if he had murdered the producers, who reduced a show of great promise to pathetic drivel and may have wrecked Dreyfuss' career in the process. Maybe it's a good thing that some of the best shows never lasted long enough to be polluted and dragged down by the pathetic media-oligopoly moneygrubbers who run the studios and networks and care only for ratings points among their most unsophisticated viewers. The consequence is the flood of cheap 'reality' dreck that has filled the schedules and made shows like House stand out so remarkably. The attempt by the hacks to damage House is clearly evident (the hospital administrators are predictably corrupt and ludicrously manipulative and out to 'get' our hero -- they force him in the latest episode to choose between firing one of his brilliant interns or shilling for a new overpriced drug; and the way-too-pretty young people on the staff are being given more close-ups and featured in vapid, simple subplots) but what is remarkable is that the show seems to have found a way to accommodate this interference without losing its edge. A particularly fine episode, Fidelity, has a convoluted, stunning plot and a merciless, horrifyingly human ending. It would make a wonderful stage play. And House's spare and savage come-backs and asides are still original, lovingly crafted and totally believable. House is tailor-made to be the stereotypical rude and short-tempered medical specialist, yet Laurie and the writers refuse to allow him to be caricaturized -- with each episode he grows deeper and more engaging and complex. Catch it while you can. House is way too smart for its own good, especially on that network. As a real-life doctor said in his review of the show on imdb: "Somewhere there is a team of writers who actually know their craft, and an acting ensemble that knows how to pull it off. Now I can watch my TV one hour a week." I'm with you, doctor.

I was with my parents today in CT.  My father just bought a Sony HDTV and he wanted to buy an HDTV package from his local cable company:  Cablevision (a $7.3 b marketcap company that has 3 m subscribers).  Unfortunately, the information on the Website was disorganized, which made it difficult to understand the options available.  We did find a page  on the site that advertised a number to call for HDTV services.  We assumed, based on the language in the page that this number would provide us with a way to check on HDTV availability and allow us to order the HDTV cable box.  Very simple expectations.  We called the number.  Rather than routing us directly to a sales rep, we were put through two voicemail menu trees and finally were told that the wait for a rep was 9 min.Our conclusion:  let's hang-up and try Direct TV. 

It's amazing to contemplate a company that is worth so much but is so badly run.  It is very easy to provide prospective customers with a phone number that routes them directly to a knowledgeable sales rep.  Too bad these highly paid execs are so out of touch to understand that simple truth.

It's just a design concept for now, but perhaps if architect Marcin Panpuch's transparent, spherical houseboats get a warm response at the Royal Institute of British Architects' Future House London exhibit, punting on the Thames will become a lifestyle choice. The idea is to reclaim much of the empty space along the Thames' shores and docks by placing these solar-powered, motile three-story units into the water, slurping up sunshine and heat by day and releasing it throughout by night. It's an attractive design, if dubiously seaworthy, but I wouldn't start pinching your pounds to save quite yet; I'm sure one of the thousands of cheap, modular geodesic homes of the future should be going on sale right about now, right?
