12/22/2004 01:57 AMOne day, you're giving a presentation to an important audience, and
you know that you need to lower the volume on your Mac. What you
don't know is that the technical staff in charge of setting up your
presentation rig have left all external speakers on their maximum
volume. You press the volume lowering key on your keyboard, and an
enormously loud popping sound blows every speaker, and renders your
entire audience deaf (either momentarily or permanently). How do you
avoid this travesty in the future? Let's find out!
Update: A few tips from our loyal and generous fans have been added.
Thanks!

Now Here's An Embarrassing Cell Phone
Story
10/31/2003 08:30 PMOkay, it's late Friday afternoon, and this is a late Friday afternoon
sort of story. It seems a man in New York was on the train Wednesday
evening and went into the bathroom to make a phone call... when he
dropped the phone into the toilet. Embarrassing enough, certainly,
but it gets worse. He decided to retrieve the phone,
and got his hand stuck.... Whoops. They had to
stop the train and break him free with the "jaws of life." And, the
best part: "The phone has not yet been recovered."

09/09/2004 05:25 AMPBCore - The Public Broadcasting Metadata
Dictionaryhttp://www.utah.edu/cpbmetadat
a/Intrinsic to digital technology is the ability for
each piece of content to carry with it some data describing that
content in a useful way. This descriptive data is called metadata. To
address the need to manage metadata within public broadcasting’s
diverse community, version 1.0 of PBCore (the Public Broadcasting
Metadata Dictionary) has been developed by a cross-organizational team
of public radio and television producers and managers, archivists and
information scientists. PBCore is designed to provide—for
television, radio and Web activities—a standard way of describing
and using this data, allowing content to be more easily retrieved and
shared among colleagues, software systems, institutions, community and
production partners, private citizens, and educators. It can also be
used as a guide for the onset of an archival or asset management
process at an individual station or institution. Such a standard is
pivotal to applying the real power of digital technology to meet the
mission of public broadcasting. This has been added to
Deep Web Research Subject

The Man who Invented Metadata
The Man who Invented Metadata
10/29/2003 12:12 AM I just gave a talk at the first Ascential user conference. I was
talking mainly about how metadata is rooted in human desire.
Afterwards, Bernard Plagman approached me and struck up a
conversation. He apparently is the person who coined the term
"metadata" in an article in 1971. Back when he wrote Data
Dictionary/Directory Systems (Wiley, 1974), it was necessary to argue
that metadata ought to be managed the same way data is. And now, a
short 30 years later, metadata is the new data....

05/28/2004 01:53 PMUpgrading to one of our version 2.0
licenses or selecting one for the first time? Consider providing
optional metadata about your work via the choose license
process.
Specifying a format will help people find your work via
format-specific searches (e.g., a picture of the
Eiffel Tower).
If your work is derived from another, you might provide a URL for
the source work. There aren't yet any tools to take advantage of this
metadata, though one can easily imagine using it to navigate a trail
of works that build upon each other.
In the future we'll probably add metadata support for location,
tipjar, and other work, creator, and copyright holder information.
Suggestions welcome on the cc-metada
ta mailing list.

"total fucking idiot on board." Boing Boing reader
Denise Howell says,
Family tags: In a weird confluence of SoCal suburbia and meatspace
metadata, people are tagging their cars with stick figure facsimiles
of their family. What's next, the corporate version? (Stick figure
CEO holds hand of middle manager holding hands with a legion of
cube-dwellers...)

Update: Boing Boing reader Mario Lopez says:
These stickers started appearing in Mexican cities around 2001 and
spread like wildfire. Now they are everywhere and even political
candidates have resorted to this kind of advertising. They are sold
everywhere and are customizable with the name/nickname of your
children and pets and whatnot. It is all pretty abnormal and ugly. I
can only guess that this fad was brought to the US by chicanos
returning from these last holidays in their hometowns.
For once Mexico is not 10 years behind the US, now we are like 3 years
ahead in the bizarre family sticker business. When everyone started
using these things on their cars, authorities advised to the contrary,
they said it was an unnecesary risk to broadcast so much information
about your family (names, how many boys, girls, aproximate ages, etc)
to potential kidnappers. No one seemed to care.
I will look for some really odd ones on the street and send them if
they are really good.

CC metadata in PDFs, images with XMP
02/13/2004 06:42 PMYou can now add Creative Commons license metadata to PDFs and image
files, enabled by XMP (eXtensible
Metadata Platform). XMP is an open, RDF/XML-based format developed by
Adobe for managing metadata embedded in files.
Please see information about
Creative Commons metadata in XMP, instructions
for marking files with Creative Commons metadata for users of Adobe's
Creative Suite, and a "custom
panel" to enhance viewing of Creative Commons metadata within
Adobe apps.
We've also posted a related technology challenge: add XMP and Creative Commons
licensing support to open source apps, including Open Office.
