Tame the Tech Training at the Next SLS
Tech Summit 04/27/2004 12:31 AM

I am most pleased to announce that Michael Stephens and Bob Lewandowski from the St. Joseph County Public Library will be presenting at the next SLS Tech Summit! Come see their infamous SJCPL Staff Day 2003 video if nothing else, but I guarantee you'll come away with a lot more. Oh, and we'll be taking them out for dinner afterwards if you'd like to join us.

Staff and User Technology Training

"Two technology trainers from the St. Joseph County Public Library in South Bend, IN, will discuss how they motivate staff and library users for technology training, including Internet basics, Web searching and applications. How do we engage our learners? How do we design training that carries with them back to their desks or homes and translates to useful skills. Session will include examples and a sample training module."

Wednesday, May 19, 2004
1:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
At SLS Headquarters, Burr Ridge
Cost: Free!

Women Into Tech, But Not Into Tech
Jargon

Women Into Tech, But Not Into Tech
Jargon 09/07/2004 05:03 AM
While there have been some stories in the past suggesting that women are just as into gadgets as men, a new study in the UK suggests that even if that's true, they're not as on top of the gadget jargon as guys. Nearly all women in the study (96%) said they "lacked confidence" when a discussion turned technical, and most claimied they had no clue what words like kbps, ISP and googling meant. Only half of the women surveyed knew that 512kbps was approximately 10 times faster than dialup, while nearly 80% of the guys did. Of course, it wasn't so much lack of knowledge, but lack of concern. When asked about their broadband connection, women generally said: "It works, it's fast - that's all I need to know."

That Other Big Tech IPO

That Other Big Tech IPO 05/10/2004 04:31 AM
The massive rush of news surrounding Google's pending IPO must be painful for Marc Benioff at Salesforce.com - which represents the "other" big dot com IPO of the year. Benioff can't talk about the IPO because they're in their "quiet period", but if you've seen some of the publici ty stunts he's pulled off, you know that he can't stand being out of the spotlight. So, he let a reporter follow him around for a day and just tried to avoid talking about IPO related stuff. It's an interesting read, and talks about the success of Salesforce.com so far, while still being skeptical about its overall chances.

The O'Reilly Digital Democrary Teach-In's lineup is now online. It's sorta kinda part of the O'Reilly Emerging Technology conference, which was a must-attend event last year and promises to be as good this year. The Teach-In — bring a flower and anything written by Howard Zinn — looks like it'll be a great day with some fabulous folks who are actually making a difference. (Disclosure: I'm on the conference committee, but that doesn't mean I'd lie to you about being excited about the event.)...

What Can The US Do To Keep Its Tech
Edge? 04/19/2005 11:07 AM
There have been a few interesting discussions lately about the US's place in the technology world. With our supposed fall in the broadband rankings combined with US university's recent poor showing in the ACM's programming contest, a number of folks are worried that the US is losing its technology edge. There is the argument that things aren't as bad as they might appear -- and it's tough to determine the state of the entire industry on these two, somewhat random, datapoints. However, there's no reason people shouldn't at least be thinking about ways to improve US competence in the technology field. The head of the ACM suggests that a few simple changes could make a huge difference, just by showing young people that the country cares about technology. For example, he notes that schools in other countries base some of their funding wins on how well they do in the ACM contest, and the Russian winners a few years ago got to meet with President Putin -- while President Bush seems to focus on congratulating sports winners. While having the President say hi to some CS students is a nice idea, it's hardly a real plan to push tech education forward. Last year, remember all those claims from both Presidential candidates about univer sal broadband? It didn't actually do very much to stimulate broadband at all. So, politicians saying things isn't quite the same as doing things. Meanwhile, some are noticing that the real broadband competition appears to be happening in Europe, where there isn't duopoly control over access -- though, it's also not clear that many of those companies competing will be able to survive for very long. The real trick is (a) understanding how important technology is, and what it's real impact is and (b) making sure nothing is impeding competition. Right now it's not clear that the US is doing the greatest job on both of those points -- but that doesn't mean we should rush into making big changes that will cause even more trouble either.

It seems that the rest of the technology world is finally realizing what Apple has known all along, that design is important. This TechNewsWorld article explores the computer industry's sudden interest in industrial design. Though the industry as a whole is recognizing the need for excellent industrial design, it is also showing that it doesn't really understand why it is important to create products that people want to use. Unlike Apple, which has always considered product design to be...

The Tech of Cirque - Ka

The Tech of Cirque - Ka 12/24/2004 12:57 PM

My wife and I recently returned from a trip to Vegas where we took in the latest Cirque du Soleil show, Ka. If you have ever experienced a Cirque show you know what I'm talking about when I say that there is nothing like it. Ka, however represents a change in direction for the 20 year old circus troop from Montreal. Ka leaves behind many of the acrobatic and gymnastic routines and instead focuses on a story while including martial arts and some gymnastics. (Review)

The star of the show is the technology created to stage the show. The theater itself cost an estimated $100 million to build. Every one of the 1,900 seats have speakers built into them so the sound completely surrounds you during the show. The stage consists of two pieces that move independently of each other. One piece is about 30' by 30' and slides forward and back. The other one is 21' by 48' and it lifts, tilts and rotates depending upon the scene. It is operated by a $10 million dollar gantry crane.

The development of which delayed the opening of the show for nearly five months. To see it in action is quite impressive. The highlight of the show was the final battle scene in which the stage is tilted completely vertical giving the audience a sky view of the battlefield as actors fight while dangling on wires. It's obvious the pride they take in the stage itself. During the curtain call it is hoisted up and lit so the audience can see just how massive it truly is.

If you're headed to Vegas go see this show. It ain't cheap, but I've never left a Cirque show thinking it wasn't worth the ticket price. Besides it's the same as a ticket to see Celine. C'mon, that's an easy decision.
