Thoreau’s simple economic calculus shows we sometimes get less out of technology than we put in.
Another DIY AR toolkit. I wonder if it comes with that sophisticated European accent built-in–it does vaguely sound computer-generated.

Viewers from a range of disciplines will get a lot out of this 30-minute interview with writer and digital humanist Cheryl Ball. Describing issues and concerns for new media education, Cheryl offers concrete solutions and examples from her work at Illinois State University and beyond. Writers Talk: Cheryl Ball (The UMaine community will recognize Cheryl; interview segments with her were featured preminantly in Magic, a Without Borders installation put together by Still Water‘s John Bell, Vanessa Vobis, and Craig Dietrich.)
For the last year, when I log into FirstClass1, I get a box prompting me to change my password. Unfortunately, the application doesn’t accept my old password. The fix? Ignore it; hitting cancel closes the box and I’m on my way. Turns out this chagrin to system admins might not be so bad afterall. From a recent Microsoft Research2 study described by the Boston Globe: … redoing [passwords] is not an effective preventive step against online infiltration unless the cyber attacker (or evil colleague) who steals your sign-in sequence waits to employ it until after you’ve switched to a new one, Herley wrote. That’s about as likely as a crook lifting a house key and then waiting until the lock is changed before sticking it in the door. Important to note, the study’s primary consideration is the collective amount of time it takes employees to routinely change their passwords: “A lot of advice makes sense only if we think user time has no value,” [Cormac Herley] said. I’ll continue clicking cancel more than I type in a new password, though I would recommend staying on the course of having different passwords across multiple sites. Footnotes: 1 It would be semantically incorrect to link the FirstClass text above to Dear FirstClass, so I’ll do it here: Dear FirstClass. 2 Resisting the obvious pun…
I am working on building a website for my senior capstone and I need your help. It is a free website that offers young musicians and professionals to have a place to post their original/non-copyrighted scores of music through educational/instructional videos as well as written score sheets. This site is geared towards having users teaching and helping users learn all things related to the musical instrument. The goal of this site is to have you, the user, provide the content. It is important users on this site come to the aid others, give a sense of a supportive community, so they can learn the art and joy of music. Anyone is allowed to view the videos, score sheets, and add comments. However, you must have a user account in order to upload content. I am looking for users, who right now, have prior knowledge of music and are able to contribute these instrument educational videos.These videos do not have to be long. Keep the videos to less then 10 minutes. I would like my users to teach how to play an instrument that they feel they are strongest in. You can demonstrate the instrument of your choosing. It can cover the basics of playing that instrument, or it can be more challenging lessons for those users who want to push their talents further. As long as it is relevant to the instrument. You could even show them how to read the music for that instrument, how to keep time, or even how to write music for that instrument. As you can see, the possibilities of what to show users is endless. Also if you don’t have a lot of time just adding 1 video would be extremely helpful and then you can contribute at your own pace. If you need more information I would be happy to help. MusiciansUniteForFree.com

A second iPhone worm is in the wild, and unlike the jokey Australian worm authored by hacker prankster Ikee two weeks ago, this one is dangerous.

A few months ago, Google showed off a way to insert ads into their Street View in Google Maps. Now they’re looking to get a patent for a similar idea. Connect the dots, anyone? We might be seeing ads in our street-level view before we know it. http://news.slashdot.org/story/10/01/09/1829241/Google-Seeking-Patent-On-Ads-For-Street-View

Great article, not as thorough as an art history encyclopedia, but well worth the look.
From VentureBeat, a reminder that TV’s trend towards the Internet goes both ways:
