Making Online Video Accessible to Small Medium Businesses SMBs
The general movement of the industry is certainly in a more transparent, more accessible direction. But this trend definitely needs to continue before everyone is able to climb aboard the online video train. Here’s our list of what the industry needs to do in order to get the SMBs fully ready to jump on.

Oh heck, I'll just publish it myself - The Globe and Mail
Oh heck, I'll just publish it myself - The Globe and Mail
For the first time ever, says U.S. industry monitor Bowker, the number of self-published, a.k.a. “on-demand” books printed in the United States last year exceeded the number of conventional titles. The company reported a “staggering 132-per-cent increase over last year's final total of 123,276 titles,” which in turn was 462 per cent above the total of self-published titles produced in 2006.

Altinum revealed… and in Google Earth
Altinum revealed… and in Google Earth
I overlaid both the near-infrared aerial image taken by the researchers and the resultant maps they produced in Google Earth. Here they are, as a downloadable KML file.. It’s amazing how well the amphitheatre and basilica stand out. All source material comes from from the PDF supplement on sciencemag.org. But viewing these overlays in Google Earth is not the only way in which you can enhance the context of this content. This particular area of northern Italy is blessed with an unusually high number of historical satellite images taken over the years and made available in Google Earth via the historical imagery slider (quite possibly because researchers were requesting imagery of Altinum from DigitalGlobe.) Several images from 2006 show many of the features with remarkable precision, and it is also interesting to see how the changing seasons highlight different features.

Consumer Electronics 2.0: MIT's Henry Holtzman on The Internet of Things
Consumer Electronics 2.0: MIT's Henry Holtzman on The Internet of Things
During my recent visit to MIT I met up with Henry Holtzman, Chief Knowledge Officer of the MIT Media Lab. We discussed the Internet of Things, which Holtzman has been actively involved in since the 90s. Holtzman said that consumer apps for Web-connected objects are becoming more common; he refers to this as an emerging "ecology of devices." There are many real world objects being connected to the Internet nowadays, he said, and they are beginning to act in concert.

A Brave New World-Wide Web
A Brave New World-Wide Web
It started with a presentation to Simon Fraser University student teachers. I created a Powerpoint presentation by the same name and put it on on Slideshare so that I could embed the show into a wik for the presentation. A number of people suggested I create a video of it. Today I did that and put it on YouTube and on the Internet Archive. One is of poor quality and the other is great, but only in streaming mode, so here I am now on BlipTV.

Augmented reality (AR) technology, which overlays 3-D graphics or information over a live camera feed, isn’t a brand-new idea. But now that smartphones are penetrating the mass market, AR may be on the cusp of wide adoption. Imagine traveling to a foreign country, pointing your camera at a building and having it up pull up a trove of historical information, video and images of the place over the past century. Two early AR services are SPRXMobile’s Layar (in the Netherlands) and Tonchidot’s Sekai Camera (in Japan), which dig up real estate, job listings or user-generated tags when you point an Android-based phone or iPhone at buildings.

SongMeanings
SongMeanings
SongMeanings was created when we saw a void in most of the lyric sites around -- they didn't have any user interaction. You goto the site, get your lyrics and that's about it. We're different. We allow users to post their comments about their favorite (and not so favorite) songs and even submit their own lyrics. Our goal is to create the world's largest and most functional lyrics site, period. We also have a community aspect with user profiles, message boards and more.

8 Steps to Developing a Better Workflow in Aperture
8 Steps to Developing a Better Workflow in Aperture
Aperture, Apple’s excellent image processing and organizational tool, can really help take your workflow to the next level. I’ve been using it for over two years (to the tune of over 10,000 images), and I couldn’t imagine going back. That said, it is a complicated application with a fairly steep learning curve. And even if you learn all the screens and all the keyboard shortcuts, Aperture doesn’t hold your hand. It is a tool, not a workflow. It is up to you to craft a workflow that fits your needs. In the many months I’ve been using Aperture, I’ve tweaked and refined my workflow. What follows is the system I use.

Translated by humans
It's called collaborative translation. To make it simple, people help each other translate interesting foreign language texts into their native language. It's mostly blog posts, magazine articles, short stories and another materials licensed for free redistribution. It's also sometimes called crowdsourcing. Translations can be public or private. Private translations will be visible only to you and some folks you allow to—your translation team.

IP Geolocation Worst Practices
IP Geolocation Worst Practices
The first time I visited cathysteeth, it claimed Cathy lives in Portland, Oregon–same as me. Curious, I loaded the site via a proxy and this time it claimed Cathy lived in the same place as my server, Culver City, California. That is because MaxMind, and similar services, use IP addresses to look up location. Every computer connected to the Internet has its own IP address. To be fair, Cathy isn’t alone in seeking a benefit from knowing a user’s location. Google uses it to show local advertisements and dating websites have long taken advantage of the lonely with “get a date tonight in Your Town” banners.
