It's funny how you don't hear so much about service mashups these days, despite their undeniable coolness. I'll assert that it's because developing for Web data in the browser is bloody hard work, especially when there are NxN arbitrary API mappings to know.

Review: Google Translate for iPhone -- you speak one language, the app speaks it back in another language - iPhone J.D.
For example, make sure your the app is in English to French mode, press one button in the app, say to your iPhone "where is the train station," and then a second later your iPhone displays "où est la gare" and you can tap one button to have that spoken in French so that the person in Paris can hear and understand you and point in a direction.
Si à Paris on me demande "où est la gare", je réponds "quelle gare ?" !

I also realized just how destructive choosing standards as a career path can be. The standards world is very demanding and will suck every free minute you have. Most people contribute very little, and at the end, a handful of people end up carrying all the load. The problem is, no one wants to foot the bill for those suckers. Only a handful of very large corporations (mostly telecommunication and hardware) support employees doing standards full time, and mostly to serve their self-interest.

I am an Explorer of Human Nature.
Beijing is my Hunting ground. I hear the City breathing in the Hot wet Air of the Summer, I hear the Clinch in the Cold Winter. The splashing of the Strong but Rear Rain of old and new Roofs.
This City is in a state of rebirth, everything is building and rediscovering. Beijing is not existing yet, just a Puzzle of endless fractures of different Centuries.
I can see it, The Desire, the Sex, The Loneliness. I will Photograph it and keep it for the time and me.
Rocketday :: our principles
Below are the principles behind the Rocketday studio.
They are casually written (complete with existentialism!), and only partially explained, but hopefully offer some insight into why and how we operate. We’d love to hear your thoughts and comments, how this compares to the principles of other studios and endeavours — we’re interested in sharing ideas both ways. This is a work-in-progess. AGREE, DISAGREE, DISCUSS. Send comments to missioncontrol@rocketday.com or discuss on Facebook.
