Fun with Flickr
Fun with Flickr
09/01/2004 08:42 PMAt the O'Reilly Emerging Technologies conference earlier this year I
was lucky enough to get a demo of
Flickr, the photo-sharing software
and service from
Ludicorp. (The
company's president, Stewart Butterfield, is married to
Caterina Fake, who did great
design work here at Salon several years ago.) At the time I thought
it was a neat little photo-sharing tool, but it seemed a little heavy
on the Flash, which sometimes makes my head ache, and life got busy
and I never got around to exploring it further. Since then Flickr has
won much acclaim, and when I needed to figure out a simple way to
share photos from a recent family trip, I thought I'd give it another
spin last night. Turns out it has evolved beautifully since my
introduction to it, and I ended up playing with it for hours, so let
me now belatedly add my enthusiasm to the chorus.
It's an exquisitely well designed Web application, certainly one of
the best I've ever seen, full of smart interface choices and nice
little finishing touches that let you know that the developers who've
built it are also heavy users of their own handiwork.
Tiny example: I noticed Flickr was dating the photos based on the
date I uploaded them, so I went in to change a bunch of dates to
reflect when the photos were taken. The page contained this helpful
message: "The date posted is the date & time you physically published
your photo on Flickr, not the date the photo was taken. We are
currently storing the date that your photo was taken in the database,
so rest assured you won't need to modify every photo later... There
will soon be a way to sort your photos based on the date the photo was
taken. Stay tuned!" So I didn't waste my time. That's what I call a
considerate piece of software. And along the way you learn that
Flickr is respectfully storing each photo's metadata (date, type of
camera used, all that EXIF stuff
that you almost never need to look at, except when you do).
It's easy to get started with Flickr, and then when you want to
push it and do more with it, it leads you gently into its depths. It
has a whole layer of social software -- profiles, groups, and so forth
-- but since its primary function is photo sharing, that social
software actually has a raison d'etre, so you don't just sit there (as
with so many other ventures in this area) and wonder "Now that we're
here and we know each other's hobbies and marital status, what exactly
do we do?"
I am generally distrustful of using Web applications as anything
more than conveniences for away-from-home access. I want my data close
at hand, and most Web interfaces are still too clunky to allow for
fast and complex organizing of serious quantities of stuff. But I'm
seriously thinking about making Flickr my photo home base -- it's that
good. And if Flickr's speedy evolution in a mere six months is any
indication, the thing is going to improve -- and grow -- at an intense
rate.

08/09/2004 11:46 AMHow do you know when someone is a liar? Shifty eyes? Growing nose?
Pants on fire? Science News surveys several laboratory studies on the
nonverbal cues of deception and why some people are so good at
spotting fibbers.
"In a now-famous study from more than a decade ago, about
500 Secret Service agents, federal polygraphers, and judges watched 10
1-minute video clips of female nurses describing the pleasant nature
films they were supposedly watching as they spoke. Half the women were
instead watching what Ekman calls "terribly gruesome" medical films.
The legal-system professionals were asked to determine the truth by
reading the women's faces, speech, and voices... Most of the
observers uncovered lies at only about the level of chance. One group,
however, outperformed the others. The Secret Service group had a
better-than-chance distribution, with nearly one-third of the agents
getting 8 out of 10 determinations correct, the San Francisco
psychologists reported in 1991."

About a year ago, near my birthday, I had completely failed to
appreciate the people in my life.
I treated them with disdain, hid stuff, actively twisted truths in
order to avoid unpleasant-ness and to gain some selfish affection.
Bad. Very bad. I lost a great deal then: love, self-esteem,
friendship, to name a few.
I've since apologized, cleaned-up, and reformed. Now ...

Altruism: The Art and Science of Interstellar Message Composition."
On March 23-24, 2003, the second in a series of international
workshops on interstellar message design will be held in Paris. The
workshop will focus on two broad themes: first, the interface of art,
science, and technology in interstellar message design; and second,
how to communicate concepts of altruism in interstellar messages. The
workshop will focus on messages that could be transmitted across
interstellar space by radio or laser signals. These communication
techniques reflect the methods used by current observational programs
in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI).

The
Nature of Normal Human Variety A talk with
Dr. Armand Leroi
(his
website).
"Almost uniquely among modern scientific problems [the problem of
normal human variety] is a problem that we can apprehend as we walk
down the street. We live in an age now where the deepest scientific
problems are buried away from our immediate perception. They concern
the origin of the universe. They concern the relationships of
subatomic particles. They concern the nature and structure of the
human genome. Nobody can see these things without large bits of
expensive equipment. But when I consider the problem of human variety
I feel as Aristotle must have felt when he first walked down to the
shore at Lesvos for the first time. The world is new again."
