iChat Streaming Icon

iChat Streaming Icon 10/28/2003 11:06 PM
I thought I was imagining it at first. Perhaps it was just the slightly different icon I was noticing. No, come to think of it, Joi Ito was actually moving -- at least his iChat icon was.

iChat Stream Icon streams your mug via iSight or the like as your iChat icon, live to anyone who has the (mis)fortune of having you in their buddy list.

I've always kept my buddy list visible, right there at the right of my desktop. Being virtual, it provides a sense of folks being around--virtual cube-mates, if you will. Now, thanks to the technical know-how of Andreas Pardeike, I can watch them pick their noses, see what they're having for lunch--hopefully not in that order--or just watch them bobbling and jiggling about on my desktop...

...like so many Tamagotchis. All I do is talk to them once a day, send them a file or three every other evening, and respond quickly to their "mornin'"s. Now to send Duncan that Chai; he looks a little drowsy this afternoon ;-).

Blue Bands for Blue Budgets

Blue Bands for Blue Budgets 02/01/2005 10:09 PM

I had to go all the way over to LISNews< /a> to find out that a sister Library System here in Illinois has started a totally awesome project called Libraries Matter. Here at home, our kids saved up some money to buy the 10–pack of Lance Armstrong yellow wristbands because they’re all the rage at school. Can you imagine if we could start something similar with these blue ones for libraries? Brilliant job, Alliance Library System!

One thing, though – how about offering packs smaller than 50 so that ordinary folks like myself can buy some and give them out to friends, kids, etc.? Let’s get some grassroots support going, not just top down from the institutional level! Then, let’s think about how we can use these on Advocacy Day this year.

Tangent: When visiting the ALS web site tonight, I realized they’ve added blogs to the home page (kind of, sort of). Sweet! Unfortunately, no RSS feeds to be found anywhere, which means I won’t be able to add them to my aggregator, which means I’ll have to keep relying on other web sites to highlight ALS projects for me. Not sweet. C’mon, ALS, show us the RSS!

The return of the webcam

The return of the webcam 03/14/2005 04:25 PM

Through a series of miracles yesterday, I stumbled across something I've been searching for forever: an OS X driver (plus a fix for OS X 10.3) for my old USB QuickCam. (I also found an add-on that lets me use said USB cam with iChat AV. Whee!) I then downloaded a program called EvoCam, and just like that, the webcam is back up (view in popup). (No guarantees as to how long it will stay up.)

How's that for a bit of nostalgia? Back in the early days of weblogs, a lot of folks had webcams...it was part of the package. Posts, a list of links to your friends' sites, a webcam, link to your Amazon wishlist, maybe a link to your Epinions page, an about page, a guestbook or little chat widget in the sidebar, etc. It was a social space to move around in. Now that everyone is reading everything in RSS readers, a lot of that sort of thing has been lost. RSS readers are not that social, even with so-called "next gen" newsreaders that recommend sites based on what you already read. It's mostly just information in, information out...little time or opportunity for play. Thank God for sites like Flickr, LiveJournal, and Fark, where people can still go to hang out and play around with the web and their friends a bit.

Webcam Shootout

Webcam Shootout 09/08/2004 08:45 AM

I don't use webcams, because I am ugly. But once upon a time, I was a pretty princess of a man, and had a pretty good time playing around with basic video chat and periodic Brady Bunch groups of pictures on webpages. And while I think it's sort of the received wisdom that all webcams suck equally, Tom's Hardware took it upon themselves to see if that was really the case. The result? Not only can you pay up to $200 for a simple webcam, it seems the more you pay, the better the quality. Amazing!

Next Generation Webcam Looks You In The
Eye 06/30/2004 04:31 AM
Just in case you might have been put off by webcams that showed people staring off at a weird angles, you can now be totally weirded out by a webcam system that compensates so that the foreground person is always looking you in the eye. A setup of two webcams transforms the video images to a 3D image map that re-creates an accurate angle-manipulated video. Microsoft's research lab and i2i have been developing the technology for a while, so it could be released for video chat sessions in the not too distant future. And if you're worried about what your background looks like (eg. your messy room/office), a suitably-chosen image can replace your actual surroundings. Perhaps the Jetsons should be cited as prior art for some of the features.
