GM plants change color in the presence of landmines.

The genetically modified weed has been coded to change color when its roots come in contact with nitrogen-dioxide (NO2) evaporating from explosives buried in soil.

Within three to six weeks from being sowed over land mine infested areas the small plant, a Thale Cress, will turn a warning red whenever close to a land mine.

Alternate News Reader UIs

Alternate News Reader UIs 02/10/2004 03:02 AM

Here are some alternative news reader UI ideas to consider.  First two are usuable as is, but the rest require quite a bit of polishing and crafting before they can be useful.  I came up with them while I was sitting at a recent workshop after hearing the speaker complain about how boring existing news readers are.

Flashcard UI

News item are displayed on flashcards.  Background color, font size, and number of items per card (1-7), and transition effect should be configurable.  User can navigate forward or backward to next or previous set of headline.  Up or escape to wider view (list of news or sources) should be available.  Fullscreen-mode is essential.

Movie Credit Screen UI

Similar to Flashcard-style UI but visual presentation effects seen commonly in movie opening or closing credit screens are used.  UI should not emphasize more than one news item at one time.  For example, if news items fade or blur in and out then current candidate for further reading should be most noticeable.  Background music and entertaining audio ads can be be used simultaneously.  Again fullscreen-mode is essential.  Screensaver-mode is optional.

Video Game UI

Wild array of UIs are possible here including using news items as prizes, gates, or monsters.

Multiplayer UI

You can see what others are interested in using various UI schemes such as footprints, ranking, etc.

A refined version of these UI might fade in a transparent headline over the screen or in some assigned space for a 'while' when user hasn't moved the mouse or typed anything for certain amount of time.  Since most news one might read using a news reader aren't urgent, you can spread hundreds of headlines over the entire day instead of flooding the reader with large number of popups simultaneously like SharpReader does.

These ideas are just branches off a single idea: news readers as boob tubes for couch potatos.  Instead of overwelming the user with long list of articles and folders, turn it into a linear experience like the TV.  Press the power button to turn it on and just sit back until you see something you like and then press another button to dive in.  Add another button for fast-forward or switch the channel.

Alternate history in bite-sized
chunklets 06/12/2004 03:56 PM
"Today in Alternate History" is a site that racks, in "today in history format," several alternate history timelines. It's nice skiffy narrative in bite-sized chunks:

in 1862, the Human League takes credit for a series of bombings against Mlosh citizens of Britain. The Crown vows to catch them, but there are sympathetic elements in Scotland Yard that slow the investigation.

in 1934, Pascal, LLC, with the assistance of Carla Lambert, persuaded Congress to fund a system of linking Eddies together such that they could share information constantly. Using telegraph lines and radio frequencies set aside for them by the Congress, Pascal constructed a Knowledge Railroad that made the almost instantaneous transmission of information possible across the nation.

in 1958, Buddy Holly reunited with his old band, The Crickets, for a successful US tour. This reunion produced such hits as I'll Be Lovin' Her, Puerto Rican Mama, and their remake of I'll Be Seeing You.

in 1977, President Reagan enacted sweeping tax cuts, mostly aimed at the well-to-do, but with some at lower ends of the economic spectrum. They didn't prove to be the stimulus he expected, though, and the nation plunged into a deep recession.

in 1982, King Charles of England called on all exiled nobles of England to return and take their rightful place at his side. He announced a general amnesty for those who had supported the Nazis, and declared that England would rise again to its former glory.

in 1992, filmmaker Oliver Stone releases JBR, in which he attempts to give credence to People's Attorney Presley's arguments that Comrade President Rosenberg was killed by a conspiracy rather than a lone counter-revolutionary. The film is a huge success, prompting the Communist Party to call for its banning.

Post-Election Thought: Kerry-voters will
be happier than if Kerry had won 12/17/2004 06:36 PM

People in Cambridge and Berkeley should be happier for the next four years than if Kerry had won because whenever anything bad happens they can blame George W.  Contrast with Nice Guy Jimmy Carter's administration.  Things were going horribly for Americans with 18% inflation, high unemployment, our embassy staff taken hostage by Iranians, and the Soviets crushing our Muslim allies in Afghanistan.  Amidst all of this depressing news there was seemingly no one to blame and therefore people could only get depressed.  I've met quite a few Cantabrigians who seem to have enjoyed their anger at W. for the last four years.  For most people it would appear that anger is preferable to despair.
