How I learned to stop worrying and love REST - Mike Mayo

by karlcow

By following the REST style, I would have saved myself either A) having to alter my iOS code and resubmit to the store, or B) time spent researching alternate caching methods and implementing them in Rails. As it stands, my partially-RESTful API is going to cost me (and possibly the client) more time before we can call the project finished.

BBC - Adam Curtis Blog: WE'RE ALL IN THE SAME BOAT - AREN'T WE?

by karlcow

Then he had a massive stroke of good luck in 1977 when ABC TV began the Love Boat series. The series was an instantaneous hit and it transformed the image of the cruise liner. It not only portrayed it as a sexual paradise, but crucially a paradise that was open to all.

Radio Interview with Matriarch of Social TV - MIT's Marie-Jose Montpetit

by sbrothier
Social TV is a huge buzzword in the TV world these days. Basically, it refers to the ways people are using social media in conjunction with their TV viewing. That might refer to something as simple as checking your Twitter feed on your phone while watching a political debate. It might also include joining a social network oriented around media discovery, like GetGlue, or Miso, where you can find out what your friends think of shows, or be notified when they are watching something. It had us wondering what impact Social TV will have on the way programmers design shows, and whether we’re returning to gathering in the living room watching I Love Lucy, only virtually. Marie-Jose Montpetit is a research scientist at the Research Lab of Electronics at MIT, where she researches putting video on multiple devices and combining it with social networking components.

swissted

by sbrothier

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.

You knew the old Mozilla, meet the new Mozilla « david ascher

by karlcow & 1 other

While I love Firefox, this makes me happy, because in my mind, Mozilla is about making the internet work better for everyone, not just Firefox users, and in this case being browser-neutral is the right strategic play.

PHOTOGRAPHER HAL

by sbrothier
Bathtubs, couples, love and challenge are strong themes throughout this artist’s work with other key elements including individuality, style, communication and intimacy. Photographer Hal brings complete strangers to his confined, crucible like spaces only to convey his continuing theme of ‘love of the couple’. The initial title Pinky & Killer used a small space or room to capture the willing couples, soon followed by the title Couple Jam which brought the focus even closer to the subjects who were placed in a bathtub together. “I am currently seeking new dimensions in portrait photography by challenging the majestic theme of mankind, defined through love.” Photographer Hal’s latest project is called Fresh Love, which captures the many varied and fresh couples in vacuum sealed package.

UK based artist HUSH returns to LA with his show Twin opening this weekend at New Image Art. Continuing to explore graffiti, tagging and street art within this latest group HUSH adds an element of duality - examining and playing with the idea of polarity.

November 1st and iOS 5 Hasn't Fixed the F*cking 1 On the iPhone's Calendar

by night.kame

See what I mean? Can you see IT? The 1 is off center. Instead of being optically centered, it's geometrically centered. So it just looks wrong. Really, what happened there, Steve? Where did all that love for typography and attention to detail go?

Ça n'a jamais été de l'amour, juste un facteur différentiateur.

Paris, Je t’aime | Garance Doré

by karlcow

Let me explain why and how this happened. Years ago an Italian writer wrote a book (not a great book), a story about teenagers, love and death. A scene in this book described two lovers who hooked a lock at Ponte Milvio, in Rome, in the name of their love. Since the book began very famous in Italy among teenagers, all lovers (all teenagers) began to hook their lockets on every bridge, everywhere in Italy: in Florence they began on Ponte Vecchio as well, wasting the beauty of the Art. It’s very difficult remove them, in fact. I hope this stupid behaviour will stop soon, but as I can see it’s common also in France now. It’s epidemic.

Pont des Arts padlocks | SNAP! Magazine

by karlcow

idiotic Submitted by karl (not verified) on Sat, 10/29/2011 - 05:58. This is idiotic, it started a couple of years ago (because of… ? a movie ? a book ?). Let's put apart the symbolism of a lock for love (yirk). The bridge is now fully covered by lockers. I was there two weeks ago, it became a big pile of metal. The photos must have been taken one year or two ago. The Pont des Arts doesn't scale with the massive amount of romanticism that tourists have.
