Call and Response My most vivid memory from South by Southwest: Thursday night in Austin, TX, USA, MSN threw a party across the street from the convention center. It was in a spare warehouse space, like a rave or fly-by-night underground party, but the fancy lighting, free drinks, and imported-looking crowd (L.A.) all said Big Bucks. The women checking the guest list looked as if they might moonlight on The Price is Right.

Bicycle Thieves, Beware! I am Dutch and I announce once again: There is no better way to get from one place to the other than by bicycle, certainly in the city of Amsterdam. The city counts no fewer than 520,000 bicycles in use -- although every year an estimated 80,000 to 150,000 of these are stolen. People no longer even bother to report theft -- they look around, sigh and start walking. I should know -- I have had to buy no fewer than 18 bicycles over the last 20 years.

Getting Creative Within a Strict Design Template Knight Ridder newspaper websites look pretty much the same; they all utilize a strict design template mandated by Knight Ridder Digital. They also tend to be chock full of content -- overloaded, actually. Count me as not a fan of the look and design of these sites. One of the most problematic design choices is that on a typical KR home page (e.g., Miami.com), there are a series of horizontal blocks going down the page.

Free Swiss Daily Shuts Down Digital Edition More and more newspapers are publishing digital-replica editions, but the free Swiss daily 20 Minuten just shut its down. The reason: The Swiss news agency Schweizer Depenschenagentur (SDA) usually charges a surplus if printed articles also are published online. The price is calculated by circulation. SDA discovered that it had not yet been paid by 20 Minuten, and when the paper's management was informed about the costs it was decided to shut down the digital edition rather than to pay this amount.

Weblogs: conversations with self and conversations with others Just thought I would share a piece from the previous post paper&nbsp;(p.9): In a simplest case, a weblog post is embedded into "a conversation with self", a personal narrative used to articulate and to organise his own thinking. A single blogger could have several of such conversations simultaneously, returning to ideas over time. In a weblog this is usually visible as linking to one's earlier posts, use of related titles, or organising ideas using different categories or From Mathemagenic on March 22, 2004 at 8:56 p.m..

Hello, live from SXSW Hello true believers. It's Jeff, the guy who never posts to this blog. I figured that since my employer was so kind as to send me to the South by South West Interactive conference, I would produce a little content. This year's line-up seems to have a lot to do with accessibility, which is great, because it means that the big creative forces driving the industry are starting to think about accessibility first. There is a handful of panels involving accessibility, and big names like Veen, Zeldman and Bowman are all speaking on the subject. Since they have wireless access all over this From Curb Cut Learning on March 22, 2004 at 8:56 p.m..

Accessible hi-fi designs Having just sat through an amazing panel here at SXSW on hi-fi css designs, I struck me that the for-profit world is now ahead of the non-profit/educational world in accessible design. Sites like Wired, Fortune, and Espn are way more accessible and standards-based than 99 percent of the government/non-profit/education world. I think they main cause of this is simply money. Good designers demand the kind of money only the business world can afford; businesses can afford to do complete redesigns; businesses react to its market faster than government services because it means more money for them.

Accessible Synchronous Communication: Reloaded One of the more interesting occurrences at SxSW04 was the use of RendezVous enabled iChatting during panel discussions. For those of you poor souls on PCs, RendezVous iChat (~AIM) lets you open up your app and see all the other people on your network (wireless or otherwise) that are using RendezVous. So when I fired up iChat while sitting in the crowd, I could see about 25 or so people in the room with me, or in nearby rooms, and chat with them. It got really interesting when Jeff Veen, a panelist, opened up his iChat, which was displayed on the big screen.

Quotation for the day Who knows only his own generation remains always a child. -- Cicero Thanks to Tom Vander Ven, whose lively column on the shortsightedness of translating Shakespeare into contemporary language ends with Cicero's advice.

In their words people try to name what they have seen of life. They try to pin down their fears and activate their... From Weblogs in Higher Education on March 22, 2004 at 5:53 p.m..
