This is a bit on the Snowcrash side of Maker projects, but I wanted to see if the new iPod video would foster a new market for VR / LCD goggles. I have two types, one is meant for viewing video full screen, with both eyes - the other is a one screen LCD. Each has their uses with the iPod video and I may actually start using these on some trips when I don't feel like holding the iPod video the entire time watching a video...So, here are the photos of the iPod video, homemade battery extender, travel case and LCD goggles....

Where 2.0: Pixie Hunt

This sounds really cool:

O'Reilly Radar > Where 2.0: Pixie Hunt:

Pixie Hunt is a location-based, mobile game that is coming out of Microsoft and we are proud to have it debut at and kick-off our Where 2.0 Conference this year. We are going to be supporting 10 teams in this hunt. Each team is armed with a phone (from Cingular), a GPS puck, and a Flickr account. In the game, teams compete with each other to take pictures of certain tasks ('take a photo of your team with a stranger in a scarf', 'take a picture of a corgie', etc). As a team completes a task and uploads their proof (a photo) to Flickr, the other teams are all shown your work and they see your score incremented. Jordan Schwartz explains the game in more detail:

Ticketmaster have decided to rip off everyone

Ticketmaster have decided that they've had enough of ebay selling their tickets at a profit and they're going to auction the tickets on their own site. No more touts?

Ticketmaster Auction Will Let Highest Bidder Set Concert Prices:

Three years after Ticketmaster introduced ticketFast, its online print-at-home ticketing service, consumers have so embraced it that the company now sells a half-million home-printed tickets for sporting and entertainment events each month in North America. Where ticketFast is available, 30 percent of tickets sold are now printed at home, said the company, which is by far the nation's largest ticket agency.

Tackling the big one

Scott Adams has finally asked the big question on his blog. Expect everything over there to go crazy from here on in. Scott has asked why America continues to support Israel financially.

Read the post because it is fantastic in its construction. But the gist is this: America gives Israel 1-3 billion dollars in Aid. Why? Israel has a GDP of 145 billion dollars so that the 1 billion doesn't really make a big difference to Israel. But it really upsets everyone else. So wouldn't it be better to stop and give the money to countries where they don't have 145 billion dollars. Amonst other things he suggests Darfur.

take that google critics

A large percentage of the things people search for inside google scanned books are inside books which publishers no longer publish. Not really cutting into publishers sales then is it? In fact Tim O'Reilly suggests that it might help publishers identify which books to bring back into print thus making them more money not less.

Long Tail evidence from Safari and Google Book Search:

Last fall, I came to the defense of Google against lawsuits by the Author's Guild and Association of American Publishers, arguing that Google Book Search would help readers to rediscover works that were no longer commercially available. I pointed out, in fact, that only about 4% of all titles ever published are still being commercially exploited. (Kevin Kelly wrote a long report on the current state of book scanning initiatives in yesterday's New York Times Magazine.)

A Star Is Made

A Star Is Made: The freakonomics guys talking about talent:

"If you were to examine the birth certificates of every soccer player in next month's World Cup tournament, you would most likely find a noteworthy quirk: elite soccer players are more likely to have been born in the earlier months of the year than in the later months. If you then examined the European national youth teams that feed the World Cup and professional ranks, you would find this quirk to be even more pronounced. On recent English teams, for instance, half of the elite teenage soccer players were born in January, February or March, with the other half spread out over the remaining 9 months. In Germany, 52 elite youth players were born in the first three months of the year, with just 4 players born in the last three."

The BBC, meanwhile, did its own bit for tradition, augmenting the artsy fartsy build-up we have come to expect on big-match days with an appearance in the studio by the celebrated vaudevillian Sir James Tarbuck, whose last Cup final day guest spot was in 1977.

Swanson's Unwritten Rules

A few years a CEO called Bill Swanson ago wrote down what he claimed were the 33 unwritten rules of business. Of course they have now become known as Swanson's Unwritten Rules which seems a bit silly.

Although there is a little management-speak in there the points seem to actually be really right on the nose. And pretty interesting.

One of the rules has risen above the rest and is now often used by CEOs to rate their managers it is rule 32: A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person.

Its a long list but worth it:

SWANSON'S UNWRITTEN RULES

1: Learn to say, 'I don't know.' If used when appropriate, it will be used often.
2: It is easier to get into something than to get out of it.
3: If you are not criticized, you may not be doing much
4: Look for what is missing. Many know how to improve what's there; few can see what isn't there.
5: Presentation rule: When something appears on a slide presentation, assume the world knows about it and deal with it accordingly.
6. Work for a boss to whom you can tell it like it is. Remember, you can't pick your family, but you can pick your boss.
7: Constantly review developments to make sure that the actual benefits are what they were supposed to be. Avoid Newton's Law.
8: However menial and trivial your early assignments may appear, give them your best effort.
9: Persistence or tenacity is the disposition to persevere in spite of difficulties, discouragement or indifference. Don't be known as a good starter but a poor finisher!
10: In doing your project, don't wait for others; go after them and make sure it gets done.
11: Confirm the instructions you give others, and their commitments, in writing. Don't assume it will get done.
12: Don't be timid: Speak up, express yourself and promote your ideas.
13: Practice shows that those who speak the most knowingly and confidently often end up with the assignment to get the job done.
14: Strive for brevity and clarity in oral and written reports.
15: Be extremely careful in the accuracy of your statements.
16: Don't overlook the fact that you are working for a boss. Keep him or her informed. Whatever the boss wants, within the bounds of integrity, takes top priority.
17: Promises, schedules and estimates are important instruments in a well-run business. You must make promises — don't lean on the often-used phrase: "I can't estimate it because it depends on many uncertain factors."
18: Never direct a complaint to the top; a serious offense is to "cc" a person's boss on a copy of a complaint before the person has a chance to respond to the complaint.
19: When interacting with people outside the company, remember that you are always representing the company. Be especially careful of your commitments.
20: Cultivate the habit of boiling matters down to the simplest terms: the proverbial "elevator speech" is the best way.
21: Don't get excited in engineering emergencies: Keep your feet on the ground.
22: Cultivate the habit of making quick, clean-cut decisions.
23: When making decisions, the "pros" are much easier to deal with than the "cons." Your boss wants to see both.
24: Don't ever lose your sense of humor.
25: Have fun at what you do. It will be reflected in you work. No one likes a grump except another grump!
26: Treat the name of your company as if it were your own.
27: Beg for the bad news.
28: You remember 1/3 of what you read, 1/2 of what people tell you, but 100% of what you feel.
29: You can't polish a sneaker.
30: When facing issues or problems that are becoming drawn-out, "short them to the ground."
31: When faced with decisions, try to look at them as if you were one level up in the organization. Your perspective will change quickly.
32: A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person. (This rule never fails).
33: Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, an amateur built an ark that survived a flood while a large group of professionals built the Titanic!

Postscript: The qualities of leadership boil down to confidence, dedication, integrity and love.

renew for freedom

renew for freedom - MAY 2006 - renew your passport

The Identity Cards Act 2006 turns your passport into a one-way ticket to control of your identity by the government. It means lifelong surveillance, and untold bureaucracy.

You may have heard that you'll be able to opt out of having an ID card if you renew your passport before 1st January 2010. But the card is not the point. Even if you chose not to have it, you would still have to pay for it. And you will get no choice about attending an official interview, producing numerous personal documents to be recorded, and having your fingerprints and eye scans taken for the records.

"Anyone who opts out in my opinion is foolish."
-— Charles Clarke, on the passing of the Identity Cards Act 2006.

Far from being 'foolish', renewing your passport to avoid all this is just plain common sense.
In the 10 years that follow, NO2ID and many others will be working to end the ID scheme and keep Britain a free country.

With Tottenham and Bolton both losing, and Blackburn a point behind, fourth place is now in our own hands. Win our remaining 7 matches and we're definitely in the Champions League next season (and Thierry will almost certainly stay).

Six of those seven are Man Utd(a), West Brom (h), Man City (a), Tottenham (h), Sunderland (a) and Wigan (h) as well as the rearranged away game at Portsmouth to fit in somewhere.

Going to be a very exciting end to the season.
