Winter approaches in Alaska







Winter approaches in Alaska

Winter approaches in Alaska 12/17/2004 06:36 PM

A friend in Alaska sent this email in response to a postcard from warm sunny Greece:

"So, you are there...and... well...we are here... in the snow, sleet, rain, pestilence, fog, and darkness.  What more can be said?  The dogs are howling, the bears are hibernating, and we are hunkered in our camp, slowly cooking cassoulet while riding out the storm.  In fact, it has been so bad here that one of our local judges, Sam Adams, age 47, died of a heart attack while on a moose hunt a week ago, and he had to stay put with his hunting party for a few days before the clouds could clear and the plane could land. Can you imagine being one of the guys around the fire, wondering whether to put cards in Sam's hand, or look for another moose, etc."

Approaches for the too-many-tabs problem


Approaches for the too-many-tabs problem 12/02/2003 01:27 AM

tabs.gif
I've seen various, slightly differing solutions to the too-many-tabs-to-fit problem recently. Amazon does a "more tabs" thing at the right, the new AOL has an embedded tab scrolling thing (the tabs that are not embedded don't scroll, thus allowing for a selection of more important tabs that are always visible), and SAP has a scrolling tab solution without the tabs that stay (couldn't find a screenshot...). Point to other solutions in the comments and I'll add screenshots.

It seems like the too-many-tabs problem is slowly coalescing towards a standard solution for websites.

I've seen the Mac solution below being used on a weblog at one point, but I can't find it anymore. Anyone?

New Approaches To Television Archiving by Jeff Ubois
ht tp://www.firstmonday.org/issues/issue10_3/ubois/index.html

Abstract:
Worldwide, more than 30 million hours of unique television programming are broadcast every year, yet only a tiny fraction of it is preserved for future reference, and only a fraction of that preserved footage is publicly accessible. Most television broadcasts are simply lost forever, though television archivists have been working to preserve selected programs for fifty years. Recent reductions in the cost of storage of digital video could allow preservation of this portion of our culture for a small fraction of the worldwide library budget, and improvements in the distribution of online video could enable much greater collaboration between archival institutions.

Getting Close to the Customer: Quantitative vs. Qualitative Approaches
http://knowl edge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/971.cfm

After adapting information technology to develop ever more sophisticated research methods, marketers are taking a second look at more human, qualitative approaches to tapping into the hearts and minds of consumers. As one Wharton marketing professor says: "We can put each customer's order on a microchip, but as far as having a sense of what's inside making him tick," the answers remain elusive. He and others suggest that companies use both qualitative methods - such as data mining - and quantitative methods, ranging from "concept banks" to "brand communities" to customer advisory boards, always keeping in mind the cost effectiveness of these varied approaches.
