The F23 camera system is the pinnacle of Sony’s 2/3″ CineAlta™ line of 24P acquisition products for digital television and motion picture content creation. Developed for cinematographers, the F23 camera, is designed so that all controls, indicators and menus adhere to cinematography conventions. The camera system can be directly docked to a SRW-1 HDCAM SR recorder. When docked to an SRW-1 equipped with the optional HKSR102 board, the F23 can record, in addition to overcranking and undercranking, slow shutter and interval recording the digital equivalent of accelerating, linear or decelerating speed ramps, effects; users can see the results immediately on the set without any additional gear. In addition, the F23 provides choice of 4:4:4 and 4:2:2 1080P imaging. The F23 camera system offers the performance, creative control and flexibility cinematographers need, as well as a compact and rugged design to withstand the challenging conditions often encountered on location.
I have a contact that’s the CEO of a local company. I know his contact information, and he’s a really good guy – I can vouch for his work. I would like to add him to LinkedIn, because I believe he would be of benefit to the other’s within my network. Here’s the problem – he doesn’t exist within the closed LinkedIn network, so I can’t add him.
In today’s age, there’s no reason why I should be able to add this person. Hell, in Geni I can upload my entire family; my dead grandfather doesn’t have to join and he’s in the network… and my cousins who have never visited the service; they too are in the network.
That’s the way it is across almost all social networks. If someone doesn’t exist within the service, they can’t be benefited by it, or produce benefit for others.
There are user interaction designers, user interface designers, ui architects, user experience gurus, etc, etc. With communities there is a new breed of designer that is becoming extremely valuable; social interaction design.
Social interaction design isn’t about strict conversion to action, but conversion to the correct action within the context of the community. Every action a user takes helps shape the overall environment of the community, and the environment helps shape future actions by the user. Its a continuous loop where a small number of wrong actions can have a significant negative effect on the community as a whole.
The way the my button choices are named, in some sense, forces me to accept the invitation because there is no option for what I really want to do (decline a person I DO know). The message LinkedIn is sending is that I should accept any invitation unless I have never met the person before.
“D.A.N.C.E.” is an over-the-top manipulation of sound and pitch set to a dirty funk backdrop with faux-string synths with what sounds like a fourth-grade class singing lead vocals. ”

I just posted a blog post at flexiblerails.com about why Flexible Rails is staying independent, and talking about Books as a Service (BaaS) as an evolution of the Beta Book in technical publishing…
Web-based sites or applications to produce all sorts of useful things, such as an overlay of traffic information over Google Maps.
Yahoo Pipes
Like Popfly, Yahoo Pipes lets you create your own mashups or “pipes.” As with Popfly, you drag and drop prebuilt modules, and then create connections between them.
Use this site to send an e-mail or instant message to a group of people; then wait for it to return a consolidated summary of responses to you. It’s simple, it’s free, and it will liberate you from the recurring feeling that you’re herding cats whenever you try to coordinate an activity involving more than two people.
I think one of the main reasons Ruby on Rails took off and Django really hasn’t is because of how much better Rails has been marketed. 37signals, the company responsible for creating Rails, is a design studio that is famous for simple, elegant, usable design. Django never really had a innovative design studio/person loudly backing it. Zooomr is very innovative, but I have never once read an article talking about Zooomr’s use of Django.
We are currently developing two applications at Okapi; one with Ruby on Rails, and one with Django. While Ruby on Rails the most popular Web Frameworks these days, there is a ever growing Django following, which was open sourced about a year after Ruby on Rails was.
Whilst the basic idea of Flickeur – an endless virtual videoloop that is in perpetual metamorphosis – has remained I have altered the visual engine and the
image selection algoritm in many aspects. I have added several new elements to the visual grammar and there are
now permanent as well as temporary manipulations applied to the material.
infinite soundtrack is built upon Oleg Marakov’s idea to run multiple mp3 players parallel in shuffle mode just like musicians playing different instruments.
In this case the instruments are not only pianos or synths but also natural atmospheres and sound effects. Islands of Consciousness consists of four parallel layers:
Layer one plays synth background pads, layer two is the piano track, layer three holds ambient atmospheres and layer four contains all kinds of different sounds
Man, this is the one of the OG’s of design. TDR is THE OG found out they designed that italian video site I found a week ago. KILLER. I knew their was something really special.
News and views on visual communications from the writers of Creative Review
Over the next month, Michael C Place of Build and Creative Review will be conducting a unique experiment. We are going to document one month in the life of a graphic designer.
Mr Place (whose desk is shown above) has agreed to record everything that he does during this period. Every piece of work. Every idea. Every presentation. Every meeting.
During the four weeks there will be regular updates here at the CR Blog. You’ll thrill as he meets his bank manager. Gasp as he checks some proofs. Marvel as he tours exotic locations such as Walthamstow and Epping Forest. All will be revealed.
Hello and
welcome to Locomotive. This is a simple tool to help
you develop Ruby on Rails applications on Mac OS X. While
those not choosing to set up their Rails development
environment using Locomotive may spend hours frustrated by
broken libraries, compilation errors, and incomprehensible
incompatibilities, you will be able to jump right into
Rails development the minute you finish downloading.
Regardless of whether you are a beginner or an expert,
Locomotive will save you time, reduce your stress, and
eliminate (your rails installation related) exasperation. Try it now!
Simultaneously run multiple versions of Rails, each
of which may be configured with different libraries, gems,
or web servers. Locomotive uses “Bundles”, each of which is
a self-contained installation of Ruby, Rails, and all the
necessary support software and libraries (as well as many
useful optional tools!).
His current interests lie in search, data mining, and street art. He founded Kaltix, a search engine that was acquired by Google in 2003, and Distilled (www.distilledspirit.com), a clothing line and artist collective based out of San Francisco.

“This [Javascript with Prototype.js] video is worth watching! I highly recommend it to beginners and intermediate Prototypers, plus: Even if English is not your native language (like in my case) the speaker talks slow and understandable which makes it easy to follow. Good recording and audio quality. Thumbs up!”Kjell Bublitz, in blog comment
Moo.fx: Super Lightweight Javascript Effects Library
moo.fx is a superlightweight, ultratiny, megasmall javascript effects library, to be used with prototype.js or the mootools framework.
It’s very easy to use, blazing fast, cross-browser, standards compliant, provides controls to modify any CSS property of any HTML element, including colors, with builtin checks that won’t let a user break the effect with multiple, crazy clicks. Optimized to make you write the lesser code possible, the new moo.fx is so modular you can create any kind of effect with it.
Recommended Skills for This Series: Basic knowledge of HTML. Many of the javascript techniques used are explained in detail so no javascript background is needed if the user has a decent grasp of basic HTML and a little CSS. Please note that this is a beginner’s series of javascript. Experienced users will find the code in this series erratic, though it is simpler for those who know nothing about javascript.
t provides its own set of classes to allow you to quickly and easily describe effects such as resize, fading, moving, dragging, and more (ajax, json, etc). The code to make something transition from one state to another (fading, moving, resizing, etc.) is very succinct and Mootools does the res
Sound great! So what do I have to do to get started? Well, for starters, you need to know javascript. Mootools isn’t something you can just add to your pages and suddenly they come alive. Mootools is a javascript library and it gives you access to all these cool functions, but you still have to tell it what to do.

What is the most
pressing problem to solve globally? Why?
Energy,
Religion, Population growth.
I don’t believe
in leaders anymore. The world’s problems are too large now
for the leaders and followers model. Leaders and followers
have arguably made minor improvements here and there in the
history of the world, but for the most part, seen from a
great distance, leaders and followers usually accelerate
the overall harm. The unanswered question is, “what is the
endpoint of human technology and humanity in general?”
Positive? Negative? Survival? Extinction
Three global
leaders who will set next decade’s course? Why?

Wufoo.com is one very good tool.� Wufoo.com passed through the filters above with flying colors. It is mind numbingly simple to use. It is free if you don’t need more than three forms. That’s pretty cost effective. And it does everything you could want it to do, including notify you when someone fills out a form, send the user a confirmation email and collect and store the data entered into each form. When I read about it, my first thoguht was… “too good to be true.” I’ve tested lots of form creation tools. This one works as advertised.�
I was looking for this, I saw the dude in a current pod.. on current TV and I’ve been hunting for it every now and then. So its a very fun datamining app..
Lovelines is one of the most unique content visualization ideas I’ve seen recently. “Using a data collection engine created by the artists for their recent collaboration, We Feel Fine – wefeelfine.org, Lovelines examines thousands of blogs every few minutes to find expressions of love and hate, posted by all manner of people. When it can, Lovelines identifies and saves the age, gender, and geographical location of the person who wrote the post, and then presents that information along with the post.” Lovelines shows it’s data in words, pictures and superlatives. Words and pictures present individual examples of love and hate. Superlatives provides a daily zeitgeist of the most loved and hated things. All in all a very amazing content visualization of how the blogosphere feels about love and hate on a up to the minute basis. More…
What I’m about to show you is a map. The map has one
very simple purpose. It shows you chord sequences that
your audience will tend to “guess in advance.” These
chord sequences sound natural, like walking down the
stairs, with no sudden jumps or unexpected turns. A lot of
music is created with simple sequences like these.
Let’s say we’re writing a song. First we choose a key. Now here comes the mountain. Which chords are available in this key… and how do they flow from one to another in ways that sound good?
These questions are very easy to ask, but it took me years to understand what I wanted to know
In the key of D, name the
three major chords and the three minor chords.
The answer: the three major chords (I, IV, and V) are D,
G, and A, while the three minor chords (ii, iii, and vi) are
E minor, F# minor, and B minor.
What do the new chords look like?
The Em chord looks like this.
This is the F# minor chord.
And B minor looks like this.
Concept #6 – The Simple Map
This is where the big question begins to emerge. We now
have six chords available. How do they flow from one to
another?
Some chords feel stable and strong while others feel like
they’re leaning or going somewhere. Some chords create
tension, waiting for another chord to come along and
relax the tension. Sometimes a chord is meant to surprise
hello. i try to make music that sounds somthing like electro/detroit, im not really sure what you would class it as.
i started messing around on fl studio etc about 2 years ago. got my first synth about one year ago (korg ms200b), decided it sounded crappy, sold it and bought an MS-10.

BlogTV is a new livestreaming service that’s been making a splash at the Supernova conference here in San Francisco. It’s the latest in several live broadcasting services that have popped up, including uStream.TV, Veodia, Mogulus, and Stickam. Like some of its competitors, BlogTV is combining live video and chat in one window, along with a way to embed the entire module on your blog or Web site. It also lets content creators team up with two Webcams at once, a solution that opens up the service for co-hosts, live interviews, or multilocation coverage.
Drawing on examples from his latest in-progress book, Essential ActionScript 3.0, veteran author Colin Moock discusses and demonstrates some of the main new features in the newest version of Flash’s programming language. Topics covered will include graphical programming with the new display API, ActionScript 3.0’s new event architecture, and, time permitting, E4X, a new toolset for working with XML data.
Does Google index sites that use Macromedia Flash?
Yes, Google indexes pages that use Macromedia Flash. However, our crawlers may experience problems indexing Flash pages. If you’re concerned that Flash content on your pages may be inhibiting Google’s ability to crawl your site, you may want to consider using a text browser such as Lynx to examine your site. If features such as Flash keep you from seeing all of your site in a text browser, then search engine spiders may have trouble crawling your site.
You may want to consider creating HTML copies of these Flash pages for our crawler. If you create HTML copies, please be sure to include a robots.txt file that disallows the Flash pages in order to ensure that our crawler doesn’t recognize these pages as duplicate content.

A couple of days ago we launched the Patrn Social Club site for Patrn Spirits. The Patrn Social Club is a place where members can read (and contribute) the latest info about what’s happening with different topics ranging from cars to nightlife to technology. The site itself was built with Flash and Ruby On Rails and 99% of the content is dynamic. Once you’re in, the concierge (video) will let you know where you are as you browse through the site. Want to know the story of Patrn? Check out “The Patrn Story”. Have a bottle of Patrn at home (or maybe in your desk at work)? Look for the handwritten ID number on the back and enter it in the “ID Your Bottle” section to learn more about it.
You normally should plan on replacing at least 60% of your net after-tax pay and preferably 80% if you can afford the additional coverage. If you purchase disability insurance with after-tax dollars, your benefits usually will be income tax-free. However, be aware that if you have group disability insurance provided by your employer, these benefits generally will be taxable. Small business owners have special concerns and should consider talking to an expert about overhead expense policies and other special considerations.

Parallax Canvas + 2D avatars (LAYER 1) + Social NETWORK
Profile Canvas (LAYER 2) _ Personalized Canvas
Picture this? You arrive on a site thats got video screens that you can view on a large 2D Parallax Canvas that you can zoom into and eclipse yourself with 5-10 folks watching the same time — or shopping, examing text etc.
then you can move around and find other videos, people to check out.
then you can ZOOM OUT and add profiles and videos to your “SELF SPACE”
ou the user get to fly around and chat with other site visitors. It certainly is one of the best examples of in-page chat
Overall it’s a good piece of rich media, demonstrating what can be done. Adding a secondary layer of interactive rich content is an interesting technique to get users to hang around a bit more. I would have liked to see better brand content that is intertwined with the interactive area – a double hit on their key message wouldn’t have gone a miss.
The whole concept of chatting on a site isn’t new but this is well done and you do get a sense of who is looking at this content at the same time. It stops the reading of a web page being a solitary activity and turns it into a social activity (way better than any myspace page). It obvious common ground in which to begin a dialogue.
