In the past few weeks The Guardian has published a few articles that I generally refer to as ‘Our Digital Future’. These are important takes on the future of digital consumption, archiving, and rules, which, in my opinion, everyone should read and consider.
Why did Ofcom back down over DRM at the BBC?
Cory Doctorow tells us that… the corporation is endangering its own future by letting the Hollywood studios set the rules for its HD broadcasts.
Why 2010 will be the year TV and the web really converge
Steve Plunkett explains how milestones such as Project Canvas will bring together broadcast television and online media.
Is copyright getting in the way of us preserving our history?
Victor Keegan on The issue of copyright is a global nightmare for anyone interested in digital preservation.

Ducks, Nazis and Disney: well, that’s one way to get a TV transition
Cory Doctorow asks in part 2 of his article: Is crippling our sets, and handing over our cultural regulation to a foreign cartel, the best way to get viewers switched on to high-definition?

The Google Three, Italy and Silvio Berlusconi

These images are generated by evaluating and interpreting the 1997 music video “Mo Money Mo Problems” from the first disc of the Notorious B.I.G. album, Life After Death. The algorithm detects edges in the image and attempts to trace motion from frame to frame, using the initial frame as their starting point. The output is rendered as a vector image, the curves represent the motion.

I guess if it’s in favour of an health reform or greener factories, I am in pro lobbying. Or at least, I feel it’s not that bad.
“As Chair of the Senate Finance Committee, Sen. Max Baucus is one of the most instrumental lawmakers in crafting the health care reform that President Barack Obama has promised. In his many years on the committee, Baucus has amassed a wealth of connections to the health care and insurance industries, often through his ties to former staffers turned lobbyists.
The five former Baucus staffers who now lobby for the health care or insurance interests represent twenty-seven different companies or associations. In some cases these lobbyists have the same clients. This map of connections expose how close the many organizations seeking influence on health care reform are to one of the most powerful players in Washington.”

This is quite interesting! Mini Firefox for mobile. You can try it on the PC/Mac though.
Wireframing is one of the most valuable parts of any web design project. It can save a designer tons of time by hashing out the details of a site’s architecture, functionality, and content prior to actually starting a visual design. But if done inefficiently, it can end up costing more time and can even create bigger headaches for both the client and the designer.

They kick ass.
Even though it’s my own project – it still inspires me…
