Polaroid: Enough Shaking, Already







Polaroid: Enough Shaking, Already

Polaroid: Enough Shaking, Already 02/17/2004 01:13 PM

Rob and CNN let me know about this support entry at Polaroid's web site:

Ever since the song "Hey Ya" by Andre 3000 of Outkast came out, everyone is shaking their Polaroid pictures. I have always been told that you should not shake a Polaroid picture, but I'm having a hard time convincing those around me that this is true. What is the answer?

To sum up Polaroid, shaking the picture may reduce the image quality. So deduct 10 points from Andre 3000 for making people's lousy Polaroids even lousier. (That makes him Andre 2990. Zing!)

Keep Moving and Shaking!


Keep Moving and Shaking! 03/17/2005 04:18 AM

This year’s Movers and Shakers issue from Library Journal is out, and how thrilled am I to see who’s on it?! Congratulations to everyone included, but special kudos to my buddies, Tom Peters, Veronda Pitchford, Aaron Schmidt, and Michael Stephens, as well as Karen Bersche! Michael and Aaron both point to each other’s inclusion on the list without noting himself – c’mon guys, take a bow!

The write-ups are great, although I would also note the following. I think of Tom as “Mr. Know-It-All,” but in a good way. Veronda is one of my new co-workers (via the merger of CMLS and SLS), and her enthusiasm truly is contagious. She’s a lot of fun to be around, and she always makes me laugh. As noted in Aaron’s write-up at the end, he’s an “extreme sports” kind of guy, which is the attitude he brings to librarianship. He’s fearless (as well as fun), and that’s a refreshing change. And Michael… well, the only thing I think his write-up didn’t quite capture is his zen-like nature. He is by far the calmest, most collected person I have ever met. I’ve never seen him angry, ruffled, impatient, or even agitated, all of which makes him the perfect trainer. I don’t know Karen as well, but I’ve certainly been impressed with her efforts at ALS.

Good call this year, LJ! Drinks are on me, Movers & Shakers!


Shaking Off The Dot Com Hangover


Shaking Off The Dot Com Hangover 02/19/2004 12:45 PM
After the dot com bubble popped, many people seemed too distraught to bother looking at what actually happened and what lessons could be learned. It's only now, years later, that things are on the upswing again that some people are willing to turn back and look at what actually happened. An anonymous reader submits a story from the new Fast Company magazine talking about lessons learned from the dot com era, and it's not that bad. They basically admit that many of the things that people said during the boom weren't completely wrong - but were either taken too far or looked at in isolation, ignoring the unintended consequences of actions. Along with the article are a series of sidebars, some of which are interesting. In a whe re are they now piece, they have a great description of Marc Andreessen's current company ("delivers some sort of solution to some sort of enterprise") and in a short timeline of the bubble they willingly admit that, just as the bubble was imploding: "Fast Company urges being fast in all things. Fast to hire! Fast to partner! Fast to spend. We leave out "Fast to go bust!"" Of course, as other recent posts here have shown, sometimes it seems that people didn't learn anything at all. Sometimes, it's new people making the same old mistakes, but there are plenty of people who made these mistakes already and appear to be doing so again.

Shaking up the Web Conferencing Market


Shaking up the Web Conferencing Market 03/06/2004 02:09 AM

This week Convoq launched their flagship personal web conferencing service, As Soon As Present (ASAP).  The launch is a milestone for the web conferencing marketplace which has to date been characterized by enterprise-focused price points, despite software experiences that have not yet graduated into the modern age of rich client interfaces and experiences and presence-enabled communications.

Convoq ASAP breaks a lot of ground in the convergence of presence management, rich media instant messaging and multi-participant web conferencing, and do this with an economics for the mass-market.  For less than $100 per year, users of ASAP can conduct an ulimited number of meetings with up to 25 participants.  Comparative pricing from Microsoft LiveMeeting (Placeware) and WebEx is in the tens of thousands of dollars. 

This approach to the market reflects Convoq's philosophy that real-time, rich media multi-participant online collaboration is ready to be an everyday productivity application, not a stovepipe system that is limited in its use to those "premium" sales calls or online demos.  The focus on making real-time collaboration more common is reflected in Convoq's thoughtful embrace of productivity-enhacing presence and convocation management features, helping either large or distributed organizations gather the right people at the right time in online settings.

If you or your organization makes regular use of instant messaging and web conferencing in a professional (or personal!) context, I'd encourage you to evaluate Convoq ASAP.

As a board member of Convoq, it's very exciting to see this innovative communications service launch -- congrats to the entire Convoq team!  I can also say that while the 1.0 product accomplishes a lot, this team has an incredible vision and roadmap for where to take online communications and collaboration, so please stay tuned.

ETECH Notes: Feral Robotics and Some
Other Quacking, Shaking, Bubbling Robots


ETECH Notes: Feral Robotics and Some
Other Quacking, Shaking, Bubbling Robots
03/17/2005 03:55 AM
Cory Doctorow: Here are my notes from Natalie Jeremijenko's So cial Robotics, Scmocial Robotics: Feral Robotics and Some Other Quacking, Shaking, Bubbling (what would the opposite of feral be?) Robots, at the O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference in San Diego.

Natalie is a genuine cyberpunk heroine, whose hacks include hacking robot toy dogs into feral volatile organic compound sensors; setting up voicemail boxes you can call when you want to record your interactions with Homeland Security coppers, and surreptitiously filming jumpers off the Golden Gate bridge.

Feral Robotic Dogs: It's a website. Everything reduces to a website. A couple years old, dates back to the launch of the Sony Aibo. One in a series of interactive toys that express behaviors programmed in our labs -- they're fun and interesting and sci-fi-ey. But what do you learn from them? You learn construction from construction toys, monopolization from Monopoly. What do you learn from interactive toys? Interaction?

These toy dogs out of the box beg for bones or sing the national anthem.

I became interested in this when someone said to me that a robot dog would make a good pet for me -- what does that say about my capacity to care for living things? What might we learn from these things? What do we need to learn from these things.

Here's the website (xdesign.ucsd.edu/feralrobots) with instructions for upgrading the raison d'être of your robot dogs.

Warning label: OUT THERE IN HAPPY FAMILY HOMES IN THE OFFICE OF CORPORATE EXECS, IN TOY STORES THROUGHOUT THE GLOBE IS AN ARMY OF ROBOTIC DOGS. THESE REMI-AUTONOMOUS ROBOT CREATURES, THOUGH CURRENTLY PROGRAMMED TO PERFORM INANE OR ENTERTAINING TASKS, ARE ACTUALLY FULLY MOTILE AND AWAITING FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS.
