Ghetto at the Center of the World: Chungking Mansions, Hong Kong, Mathews
There is nowhere else in the world quite like Chungking Mansions, a dilapidated seventeen-story commercial and residential structure in the heart of Hong Kong’s tourist district. A remarkably motley group of people call the building home; Pakistani phone stall operators, Chinese guesthouse workers, Nepalese heroin addicts, Indonesian sex workers, and traders and asylum seekers from all over Asia and Africa live and work there—even backpacking tourists rent rooms. In short, it is possibly the most globalized spot on the planet.

What Safari’s Reading List means for Instapaper – Marco.org
it means that * they have a huge user base ? * they lie about it ? * they spend too much time optimizing for devices instead for the Web. bad ROI I guess the test would be the number of paid customers by browsers.Today, fewer than 1% of iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch owners are Instapaper customers, despite Instapaper spending a lot of time (including today) at the #1-paid-app spot in the App Store’s News category for both iPhone and iPad.

Club AJAX | Presentation: The Fight Over HTML5
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.

CultureLab: Forensic astronomer solves Walt Whitman mystery
In many of his investigations, Olson and his students use the methods of modern astronomy to determine precisely where and when a particular work of art was created or to pinpoint the event that inspired it. For example, Olson analysed Vincent van Gogh's Moonrise, a painting depicting a glowing yellow orb looming behind the silhouette of a rocky outcrop. Olson was able to determine the exact spot in France from which van Gogh viewed the rising moon, as well as the precise time: 9:08 pm, 13 July 1889.

Crumpled City : Emanuele Pizzolorusso Design
Crumpled City Maps are soft, yet hard-wearing, waterproof and meant to be creased and crumpled. You can place the area that you’re interested in on the palm of your hand to spot street names then just screw it up, stuff it back into its case or your pocket, and carry on.

Roomba, Economics and Long-Exposure Photography | signaltheorist.com
Now here’s something interesting, I set up a photo camera in my room, turned out all the lights and took a long-exposure shot of my roomba doing it’s thing for about 30 minutes. The result is a picture that shows the path of the roomba through it’s cleaning cycle, it looks like a flight map or something. It really hits every spot!
