The Shifted DJ?
06/21/2004 02:07 PMOne of my goals for the near future is to set up a Shoutcast stream of the music on my
home computer in order to listen to it on the go on my Treo 600
using the fabulous Pocket
Tunes program. Icecast may
also be an option, but that's as far I've gotten in my research.
Tonight I had another thought. If I put a TV tuner card in my
computer, will it receive Comcast's digital music stations (which are
commercial-free), which I could then turn into Shoutcast (or
other) streams? Can I make my own version of satellite radio (albeit
an inferior one) using a service to which I already subscribe?
Please leave/send comments or suggestions about this idea!

06/28/2004 10:08 AMSo I finally got a Shoutcast Server
working with the WinAmp DSP
plug-in on my home PC, and I'm able to stream it to Pocket Tunes on my Treo. How
cool is that?!
Of course, now I have to find the time to create playlists for the
various scenarious in which I envision myself using this. For example,
the first one I want to create is a baseball-themed one for between
innings at Brent's games. I plan to wow the other parents with this
one! After that, maybe a library-themed one that I can play as people
slowly congregate in the room where I am giving a presentation.
Oh, the possibilities!...

Shifted Libraries on WEB4LIB
03/14/2005 06:23 PMOver on the WEB4LIB
mailing list, there's been a fascinating discussion evolving about
marketing, ubiquity, and library web services. It kind of starts here
in a comment about Gmail but you'll need to use the date
index to follow where it goes.
You already know where I fall in the debate (I'm closely aligned
with Kare
n Schneider's and Alan
e Wilson's responses), so I'll just encourage you to read through
the whole thing (watch the subject lines - they morph into new ones)
because it's one of the better discussions I've seen on the topic
lately with lots of good points. Finally, we're seeing a more
aggressive conversation!
One thread I do want to highlight (well, I hope it becomes
a thread), is Stephen De Gabrielle's attempt to suggest a course of
action. There were other suggestions, but this is a new one that could
help long-term if we can get the vendors to agree to it.
"Why don't we have a common API for all ILS? - and demand
these of our ILS vendors.(Libraries have always led the way in
standards.)
I assume this list is as good a place as any to start the
process.
What do list members think would be appropriate services for such
and API?"
Maybe then we could focus all of our various programming efforts on
the greater good instead of just our own local catalogs.

and began providing a feed for

behind the Environmental
Scan leading the way. Why? Because It's All Good. :-)

all things future that impact libraries and library users. A

Amazingly Shifted Round-up from My
Aggregator
Amazingly Shifted Round-up from My
Aggregator
03/14/2005 06:23 PMI couldn’t have planned this better if I’d tried,
but this theme leapt out in 3D from my aggregator yesterday.
Together, they don’t even need any commentary, although the easy
one would be to just restate yesterday’s tagline that you can go
on thinking these trends won’t affect libraries, but you’d
be burying your head in the sand.
In the order they were
posted:
Sendo X2 Packs
a Punch with Music and Light Weight
“The new X2 Music
Phone features stereo sound, MP3/AAC/AAC+ format support, plus
Bluetooth and USB to move your music. It will also feature a 1.3
megapixel camera with support for 1GB miniSD memory for storing your
music, photos, and video. Finally all of this content will be
brought to you by a rather large 2.2 inch 65k display. Oh, and
did we mention this whole package clocks in at a mere 95 grams?”
[Engadget]
MP3 Players Storm the World
“I hardly ever do
‘here's the news’ entries, but the Pew
Report released today stands almost without comment for anyone
following podcasting and related technologies. ‘We just got the
results of the survey we took between January 13 and February 9 and
for the first time asked a question to find out how many American
adults have iPods or MP3 players. The answer is 11% -- or more than 22
million of those who are age 18 and older. It’s safe to say that
there are several million more MP3 players owned in the teen world,
but we did not survey teens in this poll.’ ” [Free Range
Librarian]
Motorola E1060: The iTunes
Phones“So here it is, the mythical iTunes phone. The
Motorola E1060 will be the first Motorola handset to run the mobile
Java version of iTunes that will become the default media player for
future Motorola handsets.” [Gizmodo]
Sony Ericsson
Introducing Walkman Cellphones
“Remember how the other
day Sony
Ericsson said that 2005 is all about listening to music on
cellphones? Yeah, well they’re cashing in on the Sony part
of their parentage with a new line of Walkman-branded music playing
cellphones. They don’t have any prototypes or pics or anything
to show off, but they did announce today at the big 3GSM World
Congress (which is why there is so much damn cellphone news) that
they’re going to introduce the line in March. They say the
phones will have large amounts of memory, good headphones, the ability
to easily transfer songs over from a PC, and will work with
Sony’s Connect online music store.” [Engadget]
Thanks to Cellphones, TV Screens Get Smaller
“Three
original television series, including a spinoff of ‘24,’
are making their debut on Verizon's new high-speed cellular phone
network.” [New York
Times]
Portable Future
“We seem to be on
the verge of a big breakthrough in portable entertainment similar to
the emergence of so many MP3 players back in 1999-2000. This time, the
breakthrough isn't yet another device to lug around weighing down
pockets already overloaded with cell phones, digital cameras, iPods
and other cancer-inducing battery-powered leg warmers. Instead, we are
extended support for existing formats in the same old devices we've
grown accustomed to fill our pants…. The convergence that
succeeds will combine audio and video player with what we currently
recognize as a cell phone into one unified portable entertainment hub,
finally providing some justification for that $25-per-month unlimited
Internet access charge…. When Nokia announces improved support
for Real media formats, Windows Media and Flash in the same week, it's
time to take notice.” [Jake Ludington’s Digital
Lifestyle]
More Cell Phone Functionality
“Cell phones do
alot already. Companies are looking at adding even more
functionality:
- Internet radio
- Music
- Document
scanning
- Three-dimensional sound….
You can read
more about these ideas at CNE
T.com.” [Library

s: 90 Percent of Kids Use Computers
"About 90 percent of people ages 5 to 17 use computers and 59
percent of them use the Internet -- rates that are, in both cases,
higher than those of adults. Even kindergartners are becoming more
plugged in: One out of four 5-year-olds uses the Internet.
The figures come from a new Education Department analysis of
computer and Internet use by children and adolescents in 2001. A
second report from the agency, based on 2002 data, shows 99 percent of
public schools have Internet access, up from 35 percent eight years
ago.
'Children are often the first adopters of a lot of technology,'
said John Bailey, who oversees educational technology for the
department. 'They grow up with it. They don't have to adapt to it. ...
Students, by and large, are dominating the Internet population.'
By the time they're age 10, 60 percent of children use the
Internet. That number grows to almost 80 percent for kids who are
16....
Like adults, young people are going online for a range of reasons,
the government research shows. Almost three in four use the Internet
for help with school assignments, while more than half use it for
writing e-mail, sending instant messages or playing games....
Almost two-thirds of young white people use the Internet, but less
than half of black people ages 5 to 17 do, and slightly more than a
third of Hispanic young people log on. Part of the reason is access --
80 percent of black students use computers at school, for example, but
only 41 percent do so at home, according to the 2001 report.
'We need to address the limited access to technology that many
students have outside of school,' Education Secretary Rod Paige said.
'There is much more we can do.' " [Salon]
Like stop cutting library funding and closing libraries? That would
be a good start. Then maybe we could go back to teaching information
literacy to all children (and adults).

Shifted Librarian unpacks free CDs from
the RIAA
08/23/2004 06:36 AMCory Doctorow:
As a requirement of its price-fixing settlement with the Feds, the
RIAA is obliged to give thousands of CDs to public libraries. However,
as has been noted, the CDs they're sending around are worse than shit:
hundreds of copies of the years-old Whitney Houston single of the Star
Spangled Banner, that species of kidney.
Jenny Levine (AKA the Shifted Librarian) works at a library where the
RIAA care packages have started to come in. She reports on the
contents thereof:
Several of the boxes are literally cut on the side, and the cut goes
into the jewel cases themselves. Hence my declaration that we received
a ton of "cut-outs." Some of the boxes even have dates of 2001 and
2002 posted on the labels, which I hope doesn't mean the date they
were boxed up and put into storage. There is no way these boxes were
packed by mistake as the result of a computer glitch. Some of the
labels very clearly say 30 copies of this or that title, and I highly
doubt the labels were supposed to cut the boxes after boxing and
labeling them.

What's a namber? A
namber is a word that acts as a mnemonic for a number. For
example, 65 is
drum, and 181 is
push.
A
namber address uses an arbitrarily-chosen list of nambers
to represent each of the numbers from 0 to 255 in order to assemble
four words to represent any IP address. Metafilter.com's namber is
earth

translation and forwarding to the real IP
