Internet Access is Much More Important to Australians Than Food, Heating or TV
Internet access seems to be top on the minds of a fifth of Australians , much more than food, heating or TV. The statistics, revealed in a major study carried out on behalf of Telstra found that more than 60 per cent of Victorian homes admit to busting their monthly internet limit and nearly 15 per cent of the state's households fight over hogging the computer and using too much bandwidth, compared with just over 13 per cent who battle for control of the TV remote.

TEN: Ten Ways To Improve Your Craft. None of Them Involves Buying Gear.
TEN was David duChemin’s first eBook and still the most popular by a landslide. The premise is simple, if photographers could cut through the noise and work on their craft without being bombarded with the need to buy more gear, and the newest and shiniest, we’d become better at our craft and create more compelling images. TEN is exactly what it says it is, an exploration of ten techniques and ideas that can improve any photographer’s work. TEN was written in response to the question, “so where do I go from here, once I’ve learned how to use my camera?” TEN responds to that and gives you ten solid steps to take on your photographic journey, each with accompanying creative exercises, and none of them asking you to buy new gear. $5 gets you a pDF or an iPad app

Amazing Stories of Sharing 2010 (July 2010)
In this session we want to celebrate the Amazing Stories of things that happen to educators when they share something openly on the web. We asked colleagues to share with us a video of their own stories of something surprising, valuable, powerful, or just plain inspiring that happened when that piece of media, that document, that video, that blog post, became valuable to someone they did not know before. This is a version 2.0 of Amazing Stories of Openness originally presented by Alan Levine at the 2009 Open Education Conference. Actually not really presented at a conference- ask John Ittelson for the story.

ARMAR
Augmented Reality for Maintenance and Repair (ARMAR) explores the use of augmented reality to aid in the execution of procedural tasks in the maintenance and repair domain. The principal research objective of this project is to determine how real time computer graphics, overlaid on and registered with the actual repaired equipment, can improve the productivity, accuracy, and safety of maintenance personnel. Head-worn, motion-tracked displays augment the user’s physical view of the system with information such as sub-component labeling, guided maintenance steps, real time diagnostic data, and safety warnings. The virtualization of the user and maintenance environment allows off-site collaborators to monitor and assist with repairs. Additionally, the integration of real-world knowledge bases with detailed 3D models provides opportunities to use the system as a maintenance simulator/training tool. This project features the design and implementation of prototypes integrating the very late
Technology Review: Blogs: Guest Blog: Treating Cockroach Phobia With Augmented Reality
Augmented reality--overlaying the virtual world on top of the real world--has been used in everything from neurosurgery to iPhone apps. But until researchers at the Spanish Universitat Jaume got the bright idea to simulate hoards of cockroaches swarming over insect-phobic volunteers, no one had thought to use it as part of what's known as exposure therapy.
