Benjamin Moore Pocket Palette

Benjamin Moore Pocket Palette 09/03/2004 08:44 AM

Most people won't have a use for Benjamin Moore's new $300 Pocket Palette, but there's no disputing it's a pretty bitchin'. The Pocket Palette electronically matches any color to the closest Benjamin Moore sample in their catalog, so instead of carrying around hundreds of swatches to get an exact match, you just hold it up to a wall (or whatever), push a button, and save it for later. It would be better if it matched multiple palettes, like Pantone and all those other commercial and non-commercial (and non-paint) libraries, but it's a start. In a few months I wouldn't be surprised to see the very same thing built in a generic version.

Benjamin and John cut through the WS-AlphabetSoup set of specifications, avoid frequent references to SOA and cover what the benefits of Web services are, why you might want to use WSE (security, policy, addressing and support for TCP), how to use Web services in your applications today and where Microsoft is heading with Web services and Indigo in the future.

But Is It Licensed for Mars?

But Is It Licensed for Mars? 01/17/2004 11:07 PM
Tropos's equipment tested by NASA as an idea for manned Mars missions: Next thing you know, there will be a Mars Communications Commission (MCC) insisting that a single newspaper and television station could provide all the news on the Red Planet. Mesh wireless equipment makes sense for the terrain and goals of the mission. Will the low pressures affect signal transmission? And then there's hardening against radiation and temperature. I guess we have 20 to 40 years to figure it all out....

CC-licensed prose: "Always Be Closing"

CC-licensed prose: "Always Be Closing" 05/04/2004 08:10 AM
Casey Childers has produced a chunk of Creative Commons-licensed prose called "Always Be Closing." It's the same scene, told thirteen times, with (often NSFW) variations, a remix of something that has no original, a kind of simulacra. He's chosen a license that allows for noncommercial remixing -- I'm curious as to what new works can be made out of these often disturbing scenes.

The waitress interrupted, "You boys need anything?"

The old man grinned, his mouth full. He made a quick effort to swallow, but didn't hesitate to speak around the mess of potatoes that remained. "The name of the man that cooked my lunch, miss. This is heaven on a goddamn plate."

She returned a grin of her own. "His name's Merv, hon, and I'll be sure to pass that along. Now how 'bout a warm-up on your coffee?"

"I served with a commie sympathizer who went by the name of Merv. He had weak stomach, you know, loved to recite the poems he wrote about his wife. He got his head blown off in a French whorehouse."

Kevin Marks mentioned on the cc-metadata list that you can query Technorati for a list of recently syndicated content, grouped by Creative Commons license.

You can also drill down and get a list of recently syndicated content under a specific Creative Commons license.

The results are a bit rough now, but one can easily imagine combining license searches with keyword and other search filters to effect an ongoing search for specific licensed content. For example, tell me whenever a Creative Commons licensed image of horses is syndicated.

Marks, who works at Technorati, indicates this sort of capability is "an important future direction." Other blog and search outfits take note.

Thanks Ward Cunningham and thanks Microsoft!

Although it predates the availability of Creative Commons licensing by many years, I would be remiss to not recommend Cunningham's still active Portland Pattern Repository Wiki, which I suppose could be characterized as the wild and woolly counterpart of PatternShare.

Democratizing Innovation as CC-licensed
PDF 04/04/2005 03:44 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: I've been reading the print version of Eric von Hippel's Democratizing Innovation, an interesting book about the way that "lead users" are making significant contributions to the development of products and services. Von Hippel is a professor of management of innovation and entrepreneurship, at MIT's Sloan School of Management.

In this traditional model, a user’s only role is to have needs, which manufacturers then identify and fill by designing and producing new products. The manufacturer-centric model does fit some fields and conditions. However, a growing body of empirical work shows that users are the first to develop many and perhaps most new industrial and consumer products. Further, the contribution of users is growing steadily larger as a result of continuing advances in computer and communications capabilities.

You can download the entire book at no charge from von Hippel's site.
Link

UPDATE: Peggy Salz of TheFeature interviewed Eric von Hippel today.

TheFeature: In your book, you talk mostly about product development. How do you know the lead-user approach can also create breakthrough services?

Von Hippel: A field study involving a major Swedish mobile telecoms company recently tested this and produced some surprising results. These researchers adopted the "toolkit innovation method" and supplied a sample of university students tools to develop their own services. Compared to the services generated by professional developers the students' services were by far more novel, creative and cutting-edge.

For example, one girl was frustrated because she was unable to find an apartment. She cleverly developed a mobile alert service that would contact her phone every time the university web site posted an ad for an apartment that fit her requirements. This insight can obviously become the basis for a suite of mobile alert services.

Thor (who has the same birthday as me -- happy b-day, Thor!) sez,

We made International news last week when our team found the shipwreck of the rare U-215, a U-Boat that was on a secret mission to mine Boston Harbor when it decided to disobey orders and sink an American liberty ship in July 1942. That action lead to a watery grave for 48 German sailors, and 10 more who went down on the Alexander Macomb.

During the whole dive I was blogging the event from shore, keeping in touch by satellite phone. Unfortunately our website, Shipwreck Central, wasn't ready to go online so I was left to ponder the question of "if a blogger blogs in the woods..."

It's 5:30 AM here in Halifax and I'm back at home having a Wi-Fi beer on the porch. A couple of hours ago we opened up the site for a 'soft launch'. We're pretty happy with it, it's like the IMDB of shipwrecks with a kick-ass map interface, and best of all we've made our audio and video available under a Creative Commons license. I can't wait to hear live from the dive audio mixed in with some downtempo-ambient... it goes quite well from my experience.

Industry analysts releasing licensed
whitepapers 08/19/2004 03:21 PM

Redmonk is an analyst firm that studies the Technology industry. One aspect of their work is publishing whitepapers on various technology subjects, which are usually sold for hundreds of dollars to companies seeking research. Tech magazine Info wWorld noticed their most recent publication was released for free, and on top of that, licensed under Creative Commons. Stephen O'Grady of Redmonk explains the reasoning behind the licensing in this post to his technology weblog. In a followup post, he sums up the paralells between Creative Commons licensed technology papers and open sourced code:

"I see no reason to believe that the open source model is any less applicable to our business model than it is to software. It's not one-to-one, of course, because of the inherent differences between source code and analysis, but at the end of the day they are both just information. Information that can be used and built on. If you allow it."

It's great to see an analyst firm try out licensing their whitepapers, and I hope it's the start of a new trend in the industry.
