Reference Library of Digitized Insect Sounds

by Emaux
The sounds of crickets courting and flies flying familiar to many of us, but have you heard a rice weevil larva eating inside a wheat kernel, a termite cutting a piece of wood, or a grub chewing on a root?  Modern insect detection and control technology makes use of these subtle signals, sampled below. Most of the sound files on this page were selected from noise-free sections of recorded signal, but you can hear some typical background noises mixed with insect sounds at I below. The insect sounds have higher frequencies and shorter durations that make them relatively easy to separate from background.

The Emperor's New Client

by karlcow

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.

Authentic In All Caps | It's dangerously Unpopular to be

by gregg
AiAC is an audio drama that takes you across the web, interacting with fictional websites while you hear the character’s stories behind them. It is an online episodic comedy-drama that is explorable, ever expanding, reactive, playful, and replayable. We’re inventing the technology to make this an experience you’ll slide easily into but will be like nothing before.

l’azile » “no one ever asks us for accessibility”

by Monique

I do not have all the answers and I would love to hear from anyone who can contribute to these ideas.

Look up any word in the English language. You can also hear the correct pronunciation.

Mindstorming

by gregg
Viewers can interact with two actors and hear their train of thoughts either simultaneously or separately, depending on how they move the dial. Together it truly does make for a jumbled audio track, but I really like this idea of enabling users to alter the storyline by providing synced but separate audio tracks.

Review: Google Translate for iPhone -- you speak one language, the app speaks it back in another language - iPhone J.D.

by night.kame

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 ?" !

Guest post: úti, a mobile game to discover nature « Tokyo Green Space

by Spone
Frequently I hear from urban planners, professors, students, and green city people from around the world who want to share their projects or meet people in my network. I encourage them to create a guest blog post. Below is a French student project that turns urban or rural nature discovery into a video game. It sounds creative and fun! The makers will be at Tokyo’s Miraikan this week to talk about it. And, if you would like to share your project, please send in a guest blog post!

What is "rei" ? (礼) - Kendo Club at University of Michigan

by Takwann
Several years ago, I had an opportunity to speak with Takashi Ezaki sensei, one of the founding members and an instructor at the Kendo Club at the University of Michigan. A few weeks before he left to return to Japan, we were discussing our motivations for doing kendo. Ezaki-sensei made a remark that has stayed with me since. He said, "Kendo in America is very interesting. Sometimes in Japan I find kendo a little boring. But in America it is fascinating to hear Americans try to teach things like "rei", which we don't teach in Japan because its already widely understood."

Goodbye Open (and Why I’m Staying at Yahoo!) « hueniverse

For the most part, the movement that started with OpenID and OAuth is largely over. All the cool kids got grownup jobs and have been mostly missing. Think of the people you used to hear from on a weekly basis, and then try to remember when was the last time they had something new or provocative to say.

[… cut…]

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.

Flickr : MATE Beijing Lovers

by karlcow

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

by karlcow

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.

Tutorials: TBD REVU: TBD {*} Join us in the #kubuntu chat room for support, the #kubuntu-devel chat room for general development or #kubuntu-netbook for Kubuntu Netbook Edition development. {*} Netbooks are different than larger computers and Plasma Netbook is meant to provide a different way to interact with them. This is a new project for KDE that is planned for release with KDE 4.4 in February 2010. KDE and Kubuntu developers are working together to integrate this exciting new concept into Kubuntu's KDE 4.3 for our Karmic Koala (9.10) release. Plasma netbook is the heart of the new Kubuntu Netbook Edition. Rather than repeat what various upstream developers have had to say about it. Here are some links: * Description with YouTube videos * Ars Technical article * Aaron Seigo's Plasma Netbook manifesto * Technical paper * Associated presentation slides This is not just about making Kubuntu smaller, but delivering a novel netbook experience that will be better. Currently Plasma Netbook has some rough edges. It is still under heavy development upstream and will get better. Upstream is interested in feedback. We are aware of a number of issues already, but want to hear more so we can deliver the best netbook experience. Please file bugs.

Data Independence and Survival Best Practices Projects - Carnets de La Grange

by Spone & 6 others
At a regular pace, we hear about social networks catastrophes. One of the last example is the bookmark service Magnolia which has lost all data from its users. Some people who have subscribed to their own RSS feed of bookmarks have recovered their data. Social networks catastrophes are of a different types and with different consequences, but often revolve around personal data. These data can be "fully" private to completly public with a lot of granularity in between (an opacity defined by shades).

Kiai Jutsu: The Shout Used As A Weapon - FightingArts.com

by Takwann
By Christopher Caile A kiai is a loud shout. It is that essential element used by the heroes and villains of martial arts movies to accent their action, something that testifies that they are not mere boxers or wrestlers but trained experts in an Asian discipline such as karate or kung fu. But unfortunately what we hear no longer bears much combat significance. The true art of the shout, or kiai jutsu in Japanese, can be an effective tool of self-defense capable of having physical effects on an adversary.

KN | Kitsune Noir » ‘Exit Through The Gift Shop’ – A Banksy Film

by sbrothier
In a slightly random turn of events Banksy will be releasing a new film called Exit Through The Gift Shop that will be premiering at Sundance this Sunday. The film supposedly is about a man who tried to make a movie about Banksy, but Banksy ends up making a film about him instead. From viewing the trailer it just looks like him and Shep Fairey running around Silver Lake and Melrose bombing buildings. I’m curious to hear what it’s really about, I’m sure it’ll be interesting no matter what it is.
