When to Join the Bandwagon and When to Keep Your Distance

Differentiating between potentially successful and possibly hazardous web trends can be tough, but can also play a key role in your site’s success (or failure).
Fashion and style Cannes Film Festival 2008
Wed, 14 May 2008 23:14:55 PDT
The stars put on their most glamorous gowns for a most popular and biggest internetional film festival called Cannes as Cate Blanchett and Natalie Portman stole the show, but what Julianne Moore wore was criminal. Flounces, ruffles and clever draping in pale pastel palettes were popular trends on the red carpet at the 61st Cannes...
Top 10 tech trends: The boomer Internet, smart phones and more
Wed, 14 May 2008 23:33:33 PDT
The Churchill Club of Silicon Valley just wrapped up one of its most anticipated events: the Annual Top Ten Tech Trends Debate. Five well-known and opinionated venture capitalists weighed-in on the million-dollar question: What trends will take flight and what trends will fizzle out in the months ahead? (The VCs are pictured, from left to right: Steve Jurvetson, Vinod Khosla, Josh Kopelman, Roger McNamee, Joe Schoendorf.) The audience of around 300 people was asked whether it agreed or disa
Climate Scientists Agree on Warming, Disagree on Dangers, and Don’t Trust the Media’s Coverage of Climate Change
Wed, 14 May 2008 23:33:39 PDT
A slight majority (54%) believe the warming measured over the last 100 years is not “within the range of natural temperature fluctuation.” A slight majority (56%) see at least a 50-50 chance that global temperatures will rise two degrees Celsius or more during the next 50 to 100 years. (The United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change cites this increase as the point beyond which additional warming would produce major environmental disruptions.) Based on current trends, 41% of sc

JOURNAL: Why use the Thermodynamic Crisis as a framework? Posted: 14 May 2008 11:49 AM CDT As many of you already know, a large part of what I do is to provide people with useful frameworks for thinking through difficult or complex problems. To the extent that these frameworks get you thinking (even if you disagree with me, which is encouraged), they are a success. The benefit of using the "Thermodynamic Crisis" as a framework is that it is a relatively complete and simple explanation for many o
'Been Keeping My Mouth Shut' since I felt what was happening would be obvious to most.....
Wed, 14 May 2008 23:46:16 PDT
But guess what? It's not. People, that's people who say they are 'progressive' or liberal, have been expressing the most ignorant ideas about what's going on in this Dem Primary. Sorry about that word 'ignorant' but hey...the show fits...wear it. Here with commentary by me is eriposte to...well... Tell a story. You do like a story don't you?

Future Education
Wed, 14 May 2008 23:57:28 PDT
Today being my 40th birthday, time is somewhat precious to me and mine. I don’t relish the idea of spending any more of my forty-something than I have to on this degree, so I have set a very ambitious goal to be done with my doctoral dissertation in a year. Even as I map out the short-term projects and paper deadlines to put me on that aggressive pace, a larger question looms: What happens next? One of the attractions of an Informatics degree in a new program is the ability to apply it to acad
Bohol Provincial Tourism Council
Wed, 14 May 2008 23:57:36 PDT
With the phenomenal growth of tourism (predominantly nature and culture-based tourism) in the Province of Bohol, it is important to sustain the socio-economic gains of this trend for the province in order to foster not only increase in tourist arrivals and/or their continued patronage,
The Rise of Contextual User Interfaces
Wed, 14 May 2008 23:59:08 PDT
Web 2.0 has brought many wonderful innovations and ideas to the Internet. We can no longer imagine the web without a social dimension, and we can no longer imagine an online world that is read-only - it is now a read/write web full of user-generated content. But there is another fairly recent innovation, which might have just as profound implications. We're speaking of the contextual user interface. Even five years ago we lived in the boxed world of Windows-dominated UIs. There were standard

What Would Madison Avenue Do? Marketing to Teens - 5/1/2008 - School Library Journal Whether you work for Nike or in a library, it’s tough to attract an audience. And that’s where smart marketing can make all the difference. Even though libraries don’t have millions of dollars to spend on slick Madison Avenue ad campaigns to entice today’s teens, you do have access to the media that kids love, and that’s a great place to start.

Sorry Greenspan, But I’m Not Seeing It
Thu, 15 May 2008 00:01:41 PDT
According to Marketwatch yesterday, "Greenspan sees U.S. house price hit bottom in 2009". I think he’s seeing things. Thanks L!] U.S. home prices will likely bottom out in early 2009 after the market absorbs excess inventories, former U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan told audiences in Asia Wednesday, according to news reports. Greenspan, who spoke by video link to audiences in Hong Kong and Singapore, said the current pace of liquidation will accelerate, but excess supply won’t

It never fails that when I start looking for photos for fashion posts, I set out looking for bad fashion trends, but always get sucked into the vortex that is High-Fashion (aka: that artsy-fartsy stuff we see on the runways every year). What really got me looking was this: All of us have seen this by now, and most of us have thought the same thing (If you haven't, you might want to move along, mmmk?): So, I got to thinking about how we just tend to recycle our fashions from the past or

NASA Team Pinpoints Human Causes of Global Warming
Thu, 15 May 2008 00:15:21 PDT
Human-caused climate change has impacted a wide range of Earth's natural systems, from permafrost thawing to plants blooming earlier across Europe to lakes declining in productivity in Africa. Cynthia Rosenzweig of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Science in New York and scientists at 10 other institutions have linked physical and biological impacts since 1970 with rises in temperatures during that period, including changes to physical systems, such as glaciers shrinking, permafrost melting
bed light
Thu, 15 May 2008 00:17:56 PDT
I think I want a couple of Seed lamps by our bed. This is what Northern Lighting writes about the lamp and the designer in the catalogue: Seed is a wall-mounted night lamp. Seed creates a unique reading environment through its filtered light source from a low watt energy saving LED. The focused yet soft beam emitted from the diodes makes it possible to read in bed while your partner sleeps. The ‘revolving arm of light’ can point in a variety of different directions and can be easily fixed to
