Project blog flickr group instructions contact me: jason_toal 'at' sfu 'dot ca Please feel free to join the flickr group and add an image of your own cassette colelction to the pool. Project Description My research project is being conducted online using the photo sharing site Flickr. I am using images posted to that site and others gathered online, to make observations how people interact with the media format known as compact cassettes (pre-recorded, re-recorded, and mix tapes).
Cassette tapes are now part of our media history, but there is are remnants from this time still tucked away under the bed, in the back of the closet or attic. As we obtain more and more information in digital formats, the strategies that we have for collecting and archiving it is transformed. How to Read People - Part 1 of 3. The Shallow and the Deep. A SUMMARY Arne Naess Originally published in Inquiry (Oslo), 16 (1973). THE EMERGENCE OF ECOLOGISTS from their former relative obscurity marks a turning point in our scientific communities. But their message is twisted and misused.
A shallow, but presently rather powerful movement, and a deep, but less influential movement, compete for our attention. I shall make an effort to characterize the two. I. Fight against pollution and resource depletion. II. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Ecologists are irreplaceable informants in any society, whatever their political color. 6. Applied to humans, the complexity-not-complication principle favors division of labor, not fragmentation of labor. It favors soft technique and "soft future-research," less prognosis, more clarification of possibilities. 7.
Local autonomy is strengthened by a reduction in the number of links in the hierarchical chains of decision.

Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice.

"A Bicyclops Built for Two" is episode thirteen in season two of Futurama. It originally aired in North America on March 19, 2000. Plot[edit] The cyclops reveals himself to be Alcazar, sole survivor of the destruction of the planet Cyclopia.
He claims that Leela was sent away as a baby when the blind moles of Subterra 3 launched missiles in every direction, hitting forty planets including Cyclopia. Luckily, before the crash, Cyclopia's smartest scientist managed to save a baby that was possibly Leela. Alcazar was employed as a pool cleaner and was spared from the chaos while fishing out a dead possum. As the wedding begins, Fry and Bender break into the Forbidden Valley to find out Alcazar's secret and discover to their amazement four other castles, identical except that the decorations show different types of aliens.
Reception[edit] In its initial airing, the episode received a Nielsen rating of 4.0/7, placing it 86th among primetime shows for the week of March 13–19, 2000.[5] 私的所有の生物学的起源. Patterns for Designing a Reputation System » Yahoo! User Interface Blog. Recently, we released a family of related Reputation patterns to the Yahoo Design Pattern Library, the first of several collections of social-design related patterns that we’re working on. These patterns are somewhat different from the typical UI or rich-interaction type of pattern.
They don’t tell you how to lay out a page or where to put an interactive widget. Instead, they address how to design a reputation system for your social software. A key element in the Reputation family of patterns is one we call The Competitive Spectrum: The Competitive Spectrum is the first pattern you should look at because it asks you to consider the degree of competitiveness in the community you are trying to build or foster. Are you aiming for a highly cooperative community, an arena for death-matches, or something in between? The answer to that question will inform which of the remaining Reputation patterns best apply to the design of your site or application. プロジェクトチームのリーダーに向く人、向かない人 － ＠IT情報マネジメント. チームで遂行されるプロジェクトにおいて、優秀なリーダーの存在は極めて重要です。
そこで今回から、リーダーについて考えてみることにします。 リーダーシップの具体的な技術に関してはコーチングなどの記事を参考にしていただくことにして、ここではもっとベーシックなところをターゲットにします。 なお対象としては、ユーザーサイドに限らずプロジェクト一般についての話となります。 参考記事 誰でも持っているリーダーの素質 よく話題になることに、リーダーにはリーダーとしての素質がなければならないのか、ということがあります。 例えば、ふさわしい人が地位に就くのではなく、「地位が人を育てる」ケースはよく知られています（年功序列主義の会社ではよく見られることです）。 ただ、年功序列制度のように徐々に地位が上がることで、リーダー（候補者）と組織の双方に準備期間がある場合と、一度こっきりで失敗の許されないプロジェクトでいきなりリーダーとしての行動を求められる場合とでは、次元が違うようにもみえます。 確かに違いはあるでしょう。 リーダーには自信が必要 リーダーの仕事とは、組織やチームに方向性を与え、その方向に行動させることです。 権限は、ベンチャー企業の起業家のように自分で手に入れる場合もありますが、ITプロジェクトのリーダー権限は上位者（社長・発注者などのプロジェクトオーナー）によって与えられるのが一般的です。
ただし後進を育てるために、下位のメンバーを名目的なリーダーにして、上位のメンバーをアドバイザーとすることがありますが、この場合は実質的な権限委譲は行われていないといえるでしょう。 一方、自信は自らの努力によって獲得する必要があります。 きちんと裏付けのある自信があれば、メンバーから質問や意見があっても動ずることなく対処することができます。 自信をつかむには、努力が大切 「自分にリーダーは無理」と考える人は、恐らくこの“自信”のところでつまずいているのではないかと思います。 ルーチンワークならばいざ知らず、未経験の事柄の多いプロジェクトであれば心配事はいくつも出てきます。 実際のチームでは、自分の意見をゴリ押しするタイプの人もいますし、どこかで拾ってきた近視眼的な意見を臆面もなく口にする人もいます。 地位が人を育てるという現象は、その人が周囲の期待に応えるよう努力した結果です。 Technologies for UI. Cubescape - Your own digital landscape. Will the Singularity Make Us Happier? | Wired Science. After listening to futurist Ray Kurzweil speak, one is left less with concrete impressions than a general sensibility, one that’s difficult to articulate but reinforced by certain words that he uses again and again: expansion, doubling and — perhaps most significantly — predictable. It’s a bit like being lectured by a salesman or an evangelist. And I think there nugget of truth to the latter characterization. At the beginning of his talk yesterday at the World Science Festival, he mentioned intelligent design: "A more sophisticated take," he said, "is that the laws of physics are a form of intelligent design.
Of course, the designer might be an adolescent in some other universe, and our universe is just a science fair. " Not that Kurzweil necessarily believes this, or even that it would matter if he did. His accomplishments are many, and he probably forgets more before breakfast than I figure out in a week. Kurzweil’s confidence is tremendous. This seems to require a certain faith.
