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....

Chinese Movie Industry Recognizes Movie
Watching Is A Social Experience

Chinese Movie Industry Recognizes Movie
Watching Is A Social Experience 03/22/2005 05:03 PM
Yesterday we noted that the MPAA and movie theater owners were whini ng about how much people coming in an taping movies was hurting their business. The obvious response, we pointed out, is to recognize that going to the movies is a social experience. It's not just about the content (though, that is important), but the overall experience. If they improved that, then people would want to go -- even if they could score the same movie off the internet or a cheap DVD bought off the street. While the folks in Hollywood refuse to entertain this idea, someone (anonymously) in the comments to that story pointed to an article in China noting that this is exactly what Chinese movie theaters have done. After years of declining attendance, they finally shaped up and made going to the movies cool again. They improved the overall experience, putting in better equipment and more comfortable seats. They improved the sound and the lighting as well. It sounds like they also made some theaters to be more like bars, to help attract young adults away from traditional bars. Yet the supposedly "creative" movie people in Hollywood insist "nothing can be done" to get people into the theater.

How Japanese-equivalent QWERTY was

Cory Doctorow: Great history of the early days of Japanese typewriters:

The time was ripe for a Japanese typewriter, but the daunting structure of the written language, with its multiple scripts and thousands of characters, stymied early attempts to develop one. Into the breach stepped inventor Sugimoto Kyota (1882-1972), often hailed as the Edison of Japan. Sugimoto began by studying the relative frequency of individual kanji, eventually arriving at a minimum set of some 2,400 characters (unabridged Japanese character dictionaries list as many as 50,000).

Time Wonders, Who Invented Warchalking?
and Other Howlers

Time Wonders, Who Invented Warchalking?
and Other Howlers 11/10/2003 10:55 PM
In a short piece on warchalking, writer fails the test: The author of this article in Time magazine finds a warchalk symbol (so he says...I've yet to see one in the wild), and writes a good, short piece about it. Good until he notes, Nobody knows who invented warchalking. This reminds me of some of the lines from my favorite canceled sci-fi animated series, Futurama, set 1,000 years in the future. We're in the present, so I type who invented warchalking into Google, and most of the matches explain precisely, as is well known, Matt Jones invented it. He designed the sign, spread the meme, posted a PDF with the graphics in it. I wrote about him and warchalking for The New York Times, in fact. Hilariously, the 2nd match on Google right now is this Time article. They have a lot of inbound links does Time magazine. Time published a huge package of wireless stories about a week ago. They come off as a little bland to me, because I know everything that's in them. To an audience that knows little or nothing about Wi-Fi, I'm sure this sounds much more exciting. But it reads like circa 2002 newspaper coverage. The articles all have some missed notes, too, mostly in the technical and statistical details. In an article detailing business use of Wi-Fi, this statistic is thrown in: a surprisingly small number of U.S. firms that have installed wi-fi networks. Fewer than 5% of U.S. workers use them today, according to an estimate by Gartner, a high-tech research firm. Unfortunately, the author has confused five percent of workers with five percent of companies. In this News.com article from a few days ago, the reporter presents an array of statistics on business use, including overall industry sales figures, and cites Jupitermedia's number: 57 percent of businesses are using Wi-Fi already to some degree. (Damn, I even know that magazine reporter; we worked on our college paper together.) Given that companies like Microsoft and Novell have thousands of workers -- basically everyone with a laptop -- using Wi-Fi all the time all day everywhere on campus, that five percent of all workers is the mobile, laptop-connected five percent. What percentage of U.S. workers have computers at all? What percentage have laptops? That would better contextualize the number. Maryanne Murray Buechner's pieces, including this FAQ, are quite excellent, offering sensible accurate advice...

Galen Hunt spent his 1995 school vacation working. It wasn't the usual student job, such as flipping burgers or canning tuna. For his summer job, Hunt worked at Microsoft and invented the first Microsoft prototype for streaming media over the Internet. "This is my story," explains Hunt. "About the third day of my internship I met Rick." At the time, Rick Rashid was the manager of the Operating Systems Group, and is now the senior vice president of Microsoft Research (MSR).

Books >> Movies? 03/17/2005 03:24 AM

We had a full house last night for an Oscar's party of sorts (TV is upstairs in a little loft area so people weren't forced to watch).  I was sad because Titanic couldn't win again; it was such a great film that they really ought to give it Best Picture every year in perpetuity.  I was confused when a neighbor sung the praises of the movie Rushmore and its genius director, Wes Anderson.The movie was fun but if there were profound ideas in it, I'm not sure what they were.  Books, on the other hand, have been much more thought-provoking for me.  Is there any reason to expect that books are a better source of serious thinking than movies?  One possible theory is that people who have profound thoughts shy away from the committee and group work characteristic of filmmaking.  Even if Joe Director finances a film himself and has 100 percent authority he will still spend a tremendous amount of time and effort communicating his ideas to subordinates, many of whom will misunderstand what he says.  Thoughtful writers, by contrast, tend to be solitary figures who stay at home in the Connecticut woods (Philip Roth, Edward Tufte).  One of our friends is a truly brilliant and original scientist (i.e., more or less average for Cambridge).  This tenured professor says "I don't like to read, write, or teach."  What does he enjoy doing?  "I like to think."

Would anyone like to take up my neighbor's position that Rushmore is as profound as any book?

SpyView: Photoshop Classic Effects: The
Essential Effects Every User Needs to
Know 12/22/2004 01:26 AM
Author Scott Kelby has written an easy-to-read book that any serious Adobe Photoshop user is sure to want on their desk for easy access to the more than 100 “classic” Photoshop projects. Step-by-step, Kelby walks the reader through techniques that result in the stunning, professional effects that you see everyday in magazines, on billboards, in newspapers and on the Internet. Examples of the projects include using one photo as the background and focal point; creating chrome bevelled type; tinting black and white photos and creating reflections and various shadowing techniques. Kelby states simply that “these are the effects your clients expect you to know if you are a professional Photoshop user”. Kelby, editor of Photoshop User magazine and author of several bestselling Photoshop books, has cut the learning time dramatically for newer users of the program. Photoshop Classic Effects doesn’t require you to work through one tutorial after another, but enables you to easily find the project you’re interested in using, which is why you’ll want to keep it handy for future reference. Kelby has used language throughout the book that is easy to understand and provides the user commands for both Mac and Windows platforms. The book is beautifully illustrated with full color photographs by Brand X Pictures. If you want to follow along using the same photos Kelby used in his projects, the low-res images are available for download at http://www.scottkelbybooks.com/classicphotos. If you’re interested in this book, but still undecided whether to make the purchase, you might want to try a few of Kelby’s samples for yourself. Publisher Peach Pit Press has included some of the author’s step-by-step projects on a tip sheet which is available for download from http://www.peachpit.com/title/0321272250#.

Y2K Effects 01/04/2005 01:07 PM

The Surprising Legacy of Y2K: It turns out there were some very surprising secondary effects of the Y2K panic. I will admit to having never considered any of these — in my mind, Y2K was a huge hole into which companies poured money to no benefit other than the acute problem avoidance.

[...] it was probably responsible for the rise of the Indian offshore IT boom. It also resulted in big productivity gains as decades of cruft were removed from datacenters during the fixes. For example, when the NY Stock Exchange was able to reassmble its systems six days after 9/11, it was because of the Y2K-related work they'd done.

Grid-Accelerated After Effects

Grid-Accelerated After Effects 02/10/2004 02:49 AM

Adobe is teaming up with GridIron Software to produce a (relatively) low-cost grid accelerated version of After Effects.

Adding GridIron's XLR8 technology to After Effects — which produces motion graphics and other effects for film and the web — will allow users to use processor time on other computers on the network to shorten rendering & preview times. According to GridIron, the benefits of adding grid technology will be dramatic:

The bundled grid technology is expected to provide linear performance improvement, so preview and rendering will be completed nearly twice as fast on two computers than on one, three times as fast on three computers, and so on. Setting up a grid to achieve this increased speed is accomplished by installing the GridIron XLR8 and After Effects software components and connecting the computers together via a network.

This is the first time that grid technology has been put in reach of small to medium businesses, and it supposedly takes few special skills to set up and operate. And the possibilities that this opens up for applying the technology to other Adobe applications... There is hope for us who spend too much waiting for rasterizing and rendering operations!

See the press release on GridIron's website.
