Wave to 18,000 Feet Today

Wave to 18,000 Feet Today 04/12/2005 03:44 AM
The wind started blowing over the Sierras just right today and we got the wave were were hoping for. I had an early flight in the Pegasus, which I hadn't flown in about a year. I managed to eventually thermal up to 10,500 feet after I spotted a pair of dust devils merging. I hit the bottom of the secondary wave a few times but never got up in it. So I tried pushing into the primary but ended up...

The NEW New Wave 09/07/2004 11:58 PM
Underground French Cinema (literally) Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us." A secret underground cinema is found in the Catacombs of Paris, "You guys have no idea what's down there." Perhaps it's the work of a group of cataphiles called the "Perforating Mexicans".

Wave report from CHI '04

Wave report from CHI '04 06/01/2004 02:08 PM

April 27 - 39
Vienna, Austria

The WAVE Report found that CHI 2004 is refreshing in the diversity of thinking. In many respects, this is the product of looking into the future. It is also scary in that, if only a fraction of what is presented here comes to pass, the role of the box, or PC as we know it, will be substantially diminished. Such is the evolution of technology. The WAVE Report also believes that there is also myopia at CHI 2004. Much of what is show here needs a digital infrastructure, a topic we have written about extensively. Yet, the existence of such an infrastructure, at least in the near term, is problematic. Display technology is also taken for granted and large size displays at reasonable prices are still in the future.

We continue to look for how all this technology will make for better lives for individuals and families. Even here we saw some interesting clues. What makes CHI 2004 different is that it is focused on the human aspect of applying computing technology. Something we rarely see outside of this venue. In all these aspects CHI 2004 is refreshing - a hype less gaze into the future.

CHI 2004 Connect

It would appear at first glance, easy to dismiss this as an academic conference from a SIG of the ACM. But the same rapid dismissal would not apply to SIGGRAPH, the annual event in computer graphics, also from another ACM SIG. When it comes to the interaction between computers and humans, nearly all research leads to CHI. Thus, it is a barometer of activities which could define the future of computing and how humans will interact with these devices. With over 20 years of CHI conferences, it is not sampled in a day. However, our focus is more direct – trends in interaction devices and in particular the pen.

Yet, as one samples the threads here one cannot escape the following impressions:

There are shifts in the role of computing – away from the box to ubiquitous and pervasive computing environments;

Displays and mobile devices are but two artifacts of this shift, not the basis for it; and

The environment, including Ambient Intelligence, is another factor in this shift.

What is important is that the metaphors we associate with the computers interface now, such as the mouse and keyboard, do not directly associate with these new environments. As talks reflected here, the interface can be as simple as the eyes for observation, the feet, a pen and many others. The desktop is more of a boundary condition, not the environment of the future.

The Brazilian wave

The Brazilian wave 06/30/2004 02:45 AM

Aside from the hype and deart h of useful ideas, social software has exposed some interesting trends that I didn't know existed. I know I'm not alone in this, but I'm fascinated by a trend that has been going on for about a year and shows no signs of stopping: Brazilians are dominating social software networks.

I guess it makes sense when you think about it. They've got a country with fairly free laws that promote creativity. While they're generally poor on a per capita basis, they have the largest online population in South America.

Recently, Orkut put them neck and neck with Americans on the system and new language tools were added so you could basically cruise the site entirely within groups that posted in just Brazilian Portuguese, or just English. Fotolog had the famous case of Brazilian cam girls competing neck and neck with American photographers last summer. I suspect even with pricing changes at Fotolog, the Brazilians won out in terms of membership numbers since then. Ever since Globo's Blogger install launched a couple years ago, the service has skyrocketed in user numbers. T his person claims Brazil is likely to be the second largest group of bloggers after Americans.

Thanks to the enthusiasm of Brazilian users and the democratic nature of these networks, you see Brazil outpacing the participation and number of Americans. The virtual world is relatively new and doesn't have many limitations beyond the obstacles of getting online in the first place, so the world is on an even playing field so to speak. I find it fascinating that in this new, more open, and more equal environment, Brazil is doing so well. I don't know what it means for the future of Brazil or America, both online and offline, but it's certainly an interesting trend worth watching.

Wave Pillow

Wave Pillow 08/13/2004 09:06 AM

Surfers are a lazy, cowardly lot, but by nature also rather inventive. So rather than get up in the wee hours of the morning to check the waves, Elmar Trefz develop a special pillow that connects to a PC that vibrates depending on what wave conditions are like that morning. That way, if the breakers aren't even breaking, you can roll back over in your hut or cocoon or whatever it is that surfers nest in at night, and sleep until you have to go to "work." (Thanks, Mike!)

Somebody stole my rubber boots! I've been meaning to buy a new pair for ages now, and once I finally manage to drag my ass to the store and get them, some lard-ass, no-good, glue-sniffing punkboy steals them.

Why? I have no idea. They were in the trunk of the car, and what do I notice this morning? The bloody thieves did not stop at the boots, no! They had to take the sixpack of beer from the trunk as well AND the entire car.

*sigh*

Using Technology To Do The Wave For You

Using Technology To Do The Wave For You 12/24/2004 12:18 PM
If there ever were a story made for the "Too Much Free Time" category, this one is probably it. A year in the making, yesterday was the unveiling of the very first SMSWave. If you're a sports fan, you're probably familiar with "The Wave" whether you like it or consider it to be ruining the sport (there are some who feel that way). This is where everyone in the stands is so bored by what's happening on the field that they stand up and sit down one after another in a pattern that makes it look like there's a wave going through the stands. Well, apparently that wasn't good enough for some people, who decided to update The Wave for the digital, mobile age. They set up a system where fans SMS their seat location to a specific phone number. The system then calculates where everyone is, and sets off their phones flashing and making noise in a pattern to make a similar wave effect in mobile phone noise and sound. Sounds lovely, right? Even better, they've now patented the idea, so don't go around trying to copy it yourself. Please. We'll all be better off.

Catching the Pattern Wave

Catching the Pattern Wave 01/13/2003 08:08 PM
Catching the Pattern Wave Like Jeremy I'm starting to get the whole pattern gig (starting). All it took was using Harry's wonderful strategy pattern for validation (which I've extended a bunch of ways already). Now Harry has another one: Observers. The Observer Pattern is designed to help cope with one to many relationships between objects, allowing changes in an object to update many associated objects. It provides a powerful mechanism to extend our applications, in terms of how they respond to events, without needing alter existing (and working) code. We'll take a simplified look at how the observer pattern might be used in a typical PHP forum application then suggest other uses for the observer pattern ... The Observer pattern is defined by the Gang of Four in Design Patterns as behavioural pattern - that is one we can use to modify the behaviour of our applications. It's regarded as being so useful, that Sun bothered to implement it in the Java API (see Observable and Observer). The basic principle behind the observer pattern is if you have some object, such as a Post object for a forum system, you can have other objects, such as a Mailer object, act as an observer and respond to any changes in the Post object, such as emailing relevant forums users that a new post has been added to the thread they were subscribed to. Conceptually, the Observer pattern in something like a trigger in a database, which runs a stored procedure when a table row is modified for example (we won't go too far with this analogy though). Normally we might implement the mailing functionality in the Post object itself but what if later we want add further "events" to Post, when a new post is made, such as adding an entry to our forums RSS feed for example? And how many more things might we want to add in future? The observer pattern provides us the mechanism to add such functionality without needing to alter the Post object. [_Go_] Have I fully read this through, tried it out, etc? No. Will I? Almost certainly.
