It's about capturing our imaginations, about helping us tell our own stories. .< 11:50:00 PM  >Curry: "Blog II the Future is more than I expected. Sure it functions perfectly as a calendar, but the RSS capabilty enables you to schedule a blog post for a future date." True.  [Scripting News]
That's nice. But what I really want is to be able to blog to the past. I hate it when I miss a page flip. And I have stories elsewhere that I'd like to move to specific dates. Perhaps in 8.0? .< 11:26:11 PM >A change in plan.. [Dave Winer: Radio 7.1] They were going to call it 7.1 but they're going to call it 8.0. I think this makes a lot of sense. It's not incremental. It's a new product. Differentiate it from the the freely downlodable app that works rather differently. Whatever. Just release the damn thing!! .< 3:27:13 PM >Arts Can, and should, a great piece of theatre ever be successfully translated into film? These are hotly contested artistic questions that Canadian TV audiences might ask themselves after the feature-length film adaptation of The Overcoat airs on CBC's Opening Night this Thursday. Some might be swept off their sofas by this breathtaking experiment in performance art. Others might not have the patience for a narrative without words It's great. Watch it. Just try to ignore the sound effects. The CD of the soundtrack (music only!) is available from our web site. .< 12:49:53 PM >IPhoto Completes Apple's Picture Accompanied by Van Morrison, the photographs of the young girl had a strange effect on the audience. A hush fell over the crowd, and when the slide show was done, some people appeared to wipe tears from their eyes and clear lumps from their throats. Aware of its emotional effect on the crowd, Jobs said: "This is why we do what we do." "Everyone's got a story" and Apple is making it easy for each of us to tell our stories. Thanks. (Yes I drank the kool-aid.) .< 12:44:53 PM >IPhoto Completes Apple's Picture. Apple's new image-editing software may do for digital photos what word processors did for desktop publishing: make it accessible to everyone. Once again, Apple has taken a complex task and made it dead easy. By Leander Kahney. [Wired News] Bravo. .< 12:31:06 PM >XHTML Links and Resources. You've decided that it's time to make your move to XHTML - but where do you begin? Our updated listing of XHTML resources includes validators, references, specifications, and online tutorials to assist you with the conversion. 0108 [WebReference News] .< 12:07:51 PM >Apple Bets on Unorthodox iMac to Bolster Its Once-Popular PC Apple announced last month that it was moving the day of Mr. Jobs introduction forward one day, and a Time employee, who spoke on the condition he not be identified, said that the magazine had guaranteed Apple a cover story in return for an exclusive about the new product in its Monday issue. A spokesman for Time, Ty Trippet, said that "as a newsmagazine, we don't guarantee covers," and added that there were other cover subjects ready as well.
Bingo! See http://canuck.editthispage.com/2002/01/07#timeCanadaRedirected .< 3:43:44 AM >Praise be to Steve Jobs. The marketing magician strikes again, with a Time cover story singing hosannas to a product on the very day of its public unveiling. [Salon.com] .< 3:39:32 AM >Muzzling Moore. When Michael Moore's publisher insisted he rewrite his new book to be less critical of President Bush, it took an outraged librarian to get it back in the stores. [Salon.com] That sentence does not make any sense. .< 3:31:35 AM >New iMac Armed for Success. Apple's new iMac looks to redefine computer design. Analysts say the design, featuring a flat panel display that is suspended above a 10-inch dome, should sell well. Farhad Manjoo and Leander Kahney report from Macworld in San Francisco. [Wired News] That's one sophisticated group of analysts .< 3:27:27 AM >iPhoto is scriptable—here’s a collection of iPhoto sample scripts. [mac.scripting.com] As if it weren't too cool already! .< 3:18:25 AM >SiliconValley.com - Dan Gillmor's eJournal iPhoto solves problems that amateur digital photographers never realized they had. Right! .< 3:14:15 AM >Press reports on Apple: Register, Reuters, MSNBC, News.Com, Dan Gillmor. [Scripting News]
Dave gathers together the reports. Thanks! .< 3:10:46 AM >One of the most unique looking weblogs I've seen. [Scripting News]
Cool. Go have a look. It's easy to deconstruct this site! Kind of like the Centre George Pompidou of web pages! .< 2:57:36 AM >Name withheld: "I watched the Steve Jobs show today at my local Apple dealer's showroom. The buyer noticed three new SKUs in Distributors' catalog without descriptions. Only pricing. We think there is more to come at CES." [Scripting News]
Wishful thinking? I can't imagine Steve not taking the opportunity so show off his new toys in front of a crowd . . . especially after he'd been scooped by Time Canada. .< 2:48:38 AM >TidBITS: iPhoto Joins the iFold I have a 2001 folder that contains numbered folders for the months in which I took photos. And inside each of those are numbered folders for each day. Within those folders are the individual files, sequentially numbered. Various other files provide the metadata iPhoto uses to track albums, keywords, and titles. Hey, this sounds exactly like the way Radio organizes it's data. If so, it sure would be easy to tie the two together methinks! And it sounds a lot like an XML structure. |
