TRY THE NEW VERSION FOR MAC - Ommwriter

by karlcow

PURCHASE OMMWRITER DANA II FOR MAC They tell us that software pricing is a science. We, instead, decided to follow our gut. OmmWriter Dana II has no set price. We let you decide, based on what you got out of OmmWriter. As a result, we propose a minimum price of $ 4.11* (*Monetary gifts ending with a 1 are considered auspicious).

mncaudill/yearbook - GitHub

by karlcow

I decided to take all the blog posts, Twitter messages, and Flickr images I made this year, combine them, typeset them, and then get it printed in a hard-bound book. I wrote a bit about the reasoning here.

BACK TO THE FUTURE : Irina Werning - Photographer

by gregg & 4 others
I love old photos. I admit being a nosey photographer. As soon as I step into someone else’s house, I start sniffing for them. Most of us are fascinated by their retro look but to me, it’s imagining how people would feel and look like if they were to reenact them today... A few months ago, I decided to actually do this. So, with my camera, I started inviting people to go back to their future.

Limited Edition Rickshaw - Anthropologie.com

by karlcow

We're sorry. This product is no longer available. DETAILS While on a trip to India, some of our team flagged down a rickshaw for a spur-of-the-moment tour of the town. Inspired by the ride and feeling a bit whimsical, we decided to design our own set of wheels, with some very special touches like a collapsible kantha-fabric canopy, handlebar streamers, a bell for brrring-bringing on the bike path and even a headlight that illuminates when the pedals are cranked. An instant conversation starter on the road or on display, we'll bet you're whisked away on the adventure of a lifetime once you hop on - or into - our quixotic carriage. No two are exactly alike.

too bad!

Codex » Info

by sbrothier
Codex is a weekly music podcast hosted by Jean Snow, recorded in Tokyo, Japan. A long, long time ago in a country far, far away (that would be Canada) he used to have a college radio show. He had two of them, actually, first when he was truly a university student — believe it or not, it was called The Jean Snow Show — and then 10 years ago when he was back in Canada for a year, he did another show on the same station (CKUM) which he decided to call Codex (for reasons that have long been forgotten). He’s long missed those days of hosting a weekly music show — in a proper studio — and although he can’t replicate that same environment, he’s recently started doing similar but on the net, in podcast form.

Push Pop Press — About Us

by HK & 1 other
Push Pop Press acquired by Facebook Last year Push Pop Press set off to re-imagine the book. We created a new way of publishing and exploring text, images, audio, video and interactive graphics, then teamed up with Melcher Media and Al Gore to create a new kind of book. The result is Al Gore's Our Choice, which was released earlier this year. The response has been incredible. Tech columnist David Pogue of The New York Times summed it up by saying: “this is one of the most elegant, fluid, impressive apps you've ever seen. It's a showpiece for the new world of touch-screen gadgets.” Now we're taking our publishing technology and everything we've learned and are setting off to help design the world's largest book, Facebook. Although Facebook isn't planning to start publishing digital books, the ideas and technology behind Push Pop Press will be integrated with Facebook, giving people even richer ways to share their stories. With millions of people publishing to Facebook each day, we think it's going to be a great home for Push Pop Press. Al Gore's Our Choice will remain available for purchase, and we've decided that our future profits from the book will be donated to The Climate Reality Project. There are no plans to continue publishing new titles or building out our publishing platform that was in private beta. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported and expressed interest in Push Pop Press. Both Push Pop Press and Facebook share a passion for improving the way we share and explore ideas and we couldn't be more excited about what the future holds. Mike Matas Kimon Tsinteris Co-founders, Push Pop Press

Before and After Shots of Joggers - My Modern Metropolis

by karlcow

Last summer, Sacha Goldberger decided he would take on a very interesting project. He assembled a team who helped him create an outdoor studio at Bois de Boulogne, a park located near Paris that's 2 1/2 times the size of New York's Central Park. He stopped joggers, asking them for a favor - would they sprint for him and then pose right after for his camera? Many obliged. Out of breath, these joggers showed an overwhelming amount of fatigue on their faces.

Citizen science, civic media and radiation data hint at what's to come - O'Reilly Radar

by karlcow

"They were releasing data, it was just not very specific," said Sean Bonner, via Skype Interview. Bonner has served as the communications lead for Safecast since the project began. The Japanese government "would release data for some areas and not for others — or rather they didn't have it," he said. "I don't think they had data they weren't releasing. Our point is that the sensors to detect the data were not in place at all. So we decided to help with that."

jQuery Plugin Boilerplate

by Spone & 1 other
I started learning jQuery the other day and had a hard time finding a good resource on how to build a jQuery template. What I’ve found was generally too brief and didn’t answer all of my questions. Finally, as a remainder to myself, I’ve decided to put the things I’ve learned in a sort of a template for creating jQuery plugins. So, here it is, a boilerplate for kick-starting jQuery plugins development!

DeHamerspace » The Ultimate Gmail Browser

by sbrothier
I’ve talked before about site-specific browsers (SSBs) and even mentioned that I’ve become a big fan of the Fluid SSB on the Mac. I’ve got SSBs for all sorts of applications (Google Reader, Pandora, etc.) but the one that I spend the most time in is my Gmail SSB. I decided to devote some time this week to digging through the various features of Fluid to see just what was possible. What I ended-up with is a Gmail client that is a huge improvement over the standard (and, arguably, already pretty good) Gmail experience. The sections below will take you through the various steps I used to create the Ultimate Gmail Browser.

Reason for Opera Removal « GetJar Developer Blog

by karlcow

The simple problem is that Opera mini decided to include a competing app store in its browser.  Although we don’t have any issue with this in principle, in practice it means that consumers might start using this app store instead of visiting GetJar to get their favorite apps.

Club AJAX | Presentation: The Fight Over HTML5

by karlcow
a bit tired of the misleading information

The slides could be improved by mentioning a few things more.

slide 19 – W3C didn’t pay for the logo work.

slide 21 – The WHATWG announces that they rename their document as HTML Living Standard. The snapshot which is published on W3C Web site under *patent policy* will be html5

slide 39 – The W3C has always said it was out for community review.

slide 56 – Things are cut from specs when there are not at least a double implementations of each features (Candidate Recommendation). It is the *normal* process. Nothing new. No aggressive timeline.

slide 69 – W3C here is W3C members. It illustrates a disagreement in between W3C members.

slide 82 – Microsoft is not joining the WHATWG because of the lack of patent policy. Nokia is not there, Access (NetFront) is not there, etc.

slide 93 – What are secret rules? The W3C Process is public, most of the WGs have their work in public. Specs are published in public.

slide 94 – Many working groups are open to public participation without fees. Example: HTMLWG.

slide 95 – False. There is a majority of Not For Profit and Affiliate companies.

slide 96 – False. By W3C Process, every member has one voice. W3C is a community of members. The listen is a bit strange.

slide

slide 98 – W3C members decided to move away from HTML brokeness and tried to move a cleaner markup leveraging on XML. We know it didn’t work and retrospectively it was a mistake.

slide 99 – False. The W3C moved from RAND (like IETF for example) to RF (Royalty Free) to give a safer environment for developers.

slide 102 – W3C said: “Be careful if you use the technology in production. There is no full interoperability yet”.

slide 107 – WHATWG people are exactly the same people that are working inside W3C Membership. Part of the work btw is done by the W3C webapps WG by the exact same people.

slide 125 – is spot on! ;) unfortunately.

HOWTO: Implement Facebook Connect on WordPress (in reality) « Dented Reality

by mozkart & 1 other (via)
Before I rolled my own solution, I took a good look at a few of the existing WordPress options including: The WP-FBConnect plugin, made by Facebook, Another WordPress plugin made by Sociable, and The Community Facebook Connect Plugin, by Jesse Stay None of these worked quite how Morgan and I had discussed, so I decided to make my own, lightweight solution. Before editing any actual theme files, there’s some prep-work to be done, so: #

DataSF - Liberating City Data

by Xavier Lacot
The City of San Francisco too, decided to publish several Datasets. DataSF is a central clearinghouse for datasets published by the City & County of San Francisco. The site allows to find datasets in several ways: general search, tags/keywords, categories, and rating. The goal is to improve access to city data through open machine-readable formats. Anyway, there does not seem to be any SPARQL endpoint or any other semantic expression of the exposed datasets... Maybe in a future iteration?

Iaido shinsain no me – The eyes of the Iaido judges

by Takwann
book called “Iaido shinsahin no me”. This book edited by the “Kendo Jidai” publisher is a compilation of 15x ZNKR 8th Dan Hanshi sensei’s opinions on what are the important points needed for shinsa, embu and taikai. It is of course written in Japanese and will probably not be translated, so we decided to start a very rough translation of some parts. The book is separated into fifteen parts, one for each sensei and each part separated into a 2 points and three chapters …

Python strftime reference

by karlcow

Why? I need to use

Python’s strftime rarely enough that I can’t

remember it off the top of my head and never bookmark it but often

enough to be annoyed with having to Google “python strftime”

and then find the table above in the Python documentation. So I decided

to put this reference page up.
