openphoto/frontend - GitHub
OpenPhoto works similarly to Flickr, Smugmug and other photo sharing services with one major difference: you retain ownership and give OpenPhoto access to use them. All photos, tags and comments are stored in your personal cloud accounts with companies like Amazon, Rackspace or Google. This means you can easily switch between OpenPhoto services, use more than one at a time or stop using them altogether while retaining all of your photos, tags and comments.

Seth's Blog: A culture of testing
by François Hodierne
Netflix tests everything. They're very proud that they A/B test interactions, offerings, pricing, everything. It's almost enough to get you to believe that rigorous testing is the key to success.
Except they didn't test the model of renting DVDs by mail for a monthly fee.
And they didn't test the model of having an innovative corporate culture.
And they didn't test the idea of betting the company on a switch to online delivery.
The three biggest assets of the company weren't tested, because they couldn't be.
Sure, go ahead and test what's testable. But the real victories come when you have the guts to launch the untestable.
Mast Humidifier by Shin Okada | Spoon & Tamago
by sbrothier
This weekend New York was hit with a bout of cold weather. All the stations were hyping it as the coldest temperatures of the winter so far. We figured, if not now, when do we succumb to the corrupt border-town sheriff, also known as central heating? So we reluctantly flipped on the switch and, as we heard the motor begin to hum, immediately sensed the iron hand descend, securing us from the outside frost for the price of every last penny of moisture.

Mapstraction - Home
by cascamorto & 15 others
Mapstraction is a library that provides a common API for various javascript mapping APIs to enable switching from one to another as smoothly as possible. Developers can code their applications once, and then easily switch mapping provider based on project needs, terms and conditions, and new functionality.
Users can switch maps as desired based on personal taste and quality of maps in their local area. Various tools built on top of Mapstraction allow users to easily integrate maps into their own sites, and configure them with different controls, styles, and provider.
Why Mapstraction?
By avoid dependency on any specific mapping provider (or versions within a provider) your code is easier to maintain.
Mapstraction is open-source and released under the BSD License.

Might Ryu Murakami's switch to the iPad signal the beginning of the end for traditional publishers? | Books | The Observer
by sbrothier
The battle for the ownership of the book is still being fought on several fronts. It's a confusing scene, hard to interpret. Depending on where you look, through the fog of IT innovation, there are either white flags or fluttering standards of resistance.

Ana Somnia - lights out!
by gregg
A whole world waits for you when you turn out the lights. Our imagination works wonders when no one is watching. In our dreams lie childish figures, random shapes and half remembered memories. Ana Somnia is a generative art project that emulates how we dream, combining animation, soundscapes and code. Kim Köster’s Illustrations merge in manifold permutations, seemingly the same, yet different each time. Switch off your lights to enter Ana’s dreamworld

How to prototype interactive iPad applications in 30 minutes or less using Apple Keynote | Amir Khella
by sbrothier & 2 others
The best product presentations are the ones where less is said and more is shown. Yet most people end up describing their product in bullet points, charts, tables, or boxes and arrows. There are few who take the time to create static wireframes or interactive prototypes, but the challenge is that building and showing a prototype requires you to break the flow of your presentation to switch to a different tool. And we’ve all seen presentations fall apart because a tool is not properly installed or a wireless network is not available.

Physical Place and CyberPlace: The Rise of Personalized Networking
We find community in networks, not groups. Although people often view the world in terms of groups (Freeman 1992), they function in networks. In networked societies: boundaries are permeable, interactions are with diverse others, connections switch between multiple networks, and hierarchies can be flatter and recursive.
