Republican Survivor The
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has created a cartoon
"Republican Survivor." Read the
profiles of the
contestants. You can vote them out after each "episode." The
National Republican Committee says that they are just "
Playing with cartoons." But I think it's friggin
hilarious.

BBC Report on Spoken Interface
BBC Report on Spoken Interface
04/19/2004 08:23 AMThe BBC is running
an
article on the features Apple is incorporating into OS X to aid
those with visual impairment and learning difficulties.
The article is pretty sparse on details of what it will be able to do
and when it will be introduced, but significantly, there?s been some
reaction from the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB) about
the software:
"If the rumours are true, RNIB welcomes this initiative -
accessibility built into mainstream systems is critical if we?re to
move forward."date-spoken-german-0.03

There are lots of bright people out

08/27/2004 01:47 PMCongrats to Roland and Boris and.....
They've just launched Bryght -
a Drupal hosting service. I hung out with these guys a bit when I was
in Vancouver and they're certainly a compelling reason for moving
there.
Vancouver is hot.
Here's Roland's post....
Our latest venture is Bryght, a hosted Drupal
service, "the Salesforce.com of community content". I am working with
Boris, Richard, Adrian and James on this
one. Yes, we are all Bryght
guys :-) !
We have taken Drupal and combined it with web hosting and email to
give you a one stop shop for your community content. No IT required,
no muss, no fuss! Check out The lights are on at
Bryght for more background on how this started. And if you know
of an individual, organization or company that could use a Bryght
site, please contact us.
Whither StreamLine you might ask?
StreamLine continues and it will continue to resell Blogware blogs because we
still believe that Blogware is the best individual blogging
platform.

02/11/2004 09:36 PM Lily Cheng from Microsoft Research is talking about how people
represent themselves on line. The closer the friends, the fuzzier they
want the representations. We need to make social tools fluid enough to
account for the way people's lives change. We need easy access to
friends and people important to us. We want sponatenous interactions.
Lily's group went to a mall and asked people to draw their social
interactions, and gots lots of circles and lines. Microsoft studied
this and built a "personal map" that clusters people based on who they
send email to (TO and CC) and how...

People Still Like CDs
People Still Like CDs
09/17/2004 04:12 AMWhile the recording industry continues to insist that music
downloading is destroying their business, there's even more evidence
that this simply isn't true. From
ITFacts.biz, we
learn that
92% of people surveyed still prefer their music
on a CD. In fact, most say that when they download it's usually
to get songs they can't get on CD or to sample music before buying the
CD. Other reasons given are if they want a song immediately or if
they really only want one or two songs from an album and don't want to
shell out for the entire album. Notice that all four of these reasons
show that music downloading
is not a substitute for CDs. Now,
obviously, not everyone here may be telling the truth. Also, the
percentage of people who are just fine with downloads is likely to
grow over time. However, if the recording industry were smart about
this they'd realize that they should be focusing on ways to use
downloads to promote more CD sales -- and perhaps adding more value to
the CDs itself (off the top of my head, this could include: DVD
content, better liner notes, access to the band's fan club, free
tickets to a show, etc.).
Where Did All The People Go?
Where Did All The People Go?
08/31/2004 04:28 AMThere's nothing wrong with automation. It often does help improve
tedious tasks while opening up new
more
interesting jobs. However, what keeps getting passed off as
automation, isn't automation at all, but shifting labor to customers.
You'll notice the people have been disappearing. It's happening at
grocer
y store checkout counters, movie theater ticket purchases and
airline check-ins. Now, you can add
hote
l check-ins to the list. The hotels implementing this say it's to
give guests better service -- but I'm not sure that's true. Maybe
I've just been lucky (or I have the good fortune to always arrive at
odd hours), but I've never had much of a problem checking in to
hotels. I honestly can't remember ever having to wait in line at a
hotel to check in, but to read this article, you'd think it was a big
problem -- that's now solved by the fact that you can "check in" via
the web, up to a week before. You get a page to print out and when
you get to the hotel you hand over the paper, and they hand you an
envelope. It seems like this must save all of about a minute. It
must be
all
those impatient broadband users (note how the check in occurs over
the web?). Honestly, I wouldn't have any problem with this, if
they simply said outright that this is a way that they can save some
money or get rid of tedious/repetitive jobs by making the customer do
the work instead. Hell, if we got a discount for doing some work the
hotel staff used to have to do themselves, even better. However, this
isn't automation, and it's really not designed to make the customer
experience better. It's just shifting the labor to the customer.
