stevenberlinjohnson.com: Uploading My Library
Topic: Miscellaneous 8:00 pm EST, Mar 19, 2006

In setting up my new study, I did something with my books I've never done before in the twenty-odd years that I've been building this library: I alphabetized them. Not all of them, actually. That would take a week. I've brought down to the study what I'm unofficially calling the canon: roughly two hundred books that have been influential in some way over the past two decades, even if in some cases I haven't actually, you know, read them. The rest remain scattered randomly through the bookshelves in the rest of the house.

Yahoo! Search blog: Know Any Good Engineers or Operations Managers?
Topic: Miscellaneous 7:57 pm EST, Mar 19, 2006

Jeremy Zawodny is hiring.

One of the benefits of del.icio.us now being part of Yahoo is that we can afford to hire more people to give the service the attention it needs to grow bigger, faster, and better. In fact, we're looking to beef up all of our "social search" efforts. That includes Yahoo! Answers, MyWeb, del.icio.us, and more.

Following that theme, we're hoping to use people (you) to find other people (more Yahoos). Specifically, we're looking for people in the following three roles:

Web Development (aka, front-end engineering): PHP, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, AJAX
Operations Management: monitoring, outages, reporting, hardware upgrades
Engineering Management: specifically with experience in Web Services, APIs, Databases, and Open Source

Are you interested or do you know anyone you can recommend?

A Networked World: Information Architecture as Scaffold
Topic: Miscellaneous 7:57 pm EST, Mar 19, 2006

When those of us who think about IA think about IA, its is usually the relationships between different bits of information and how you represent that in useful, occasionally rational ways.

Documentary on the state of the Internet in 1972
Topic: Miscellaneous 7:56 pm EST, Mar 19, 2006

This 1972 documentary entitled "Computer Networks: The Heralds of Resource Sharing" covers the early years of ARPAnet, the precursor of the Internet, through interviews with the heroes of the internetworking revolution. Tightly wound internetworking geeks like the legendary JCR Licklider intensely recite the benefits that internetworking will shortly deliver, sliding in digs at the telecoms industry, the Bellheads who have no desire to see this future realized. This is a fantastic 30 minutes of paleo-nerd memorabilia.

Tribler: social P2P system helps you share files and bandwidth with friends
Topic: Miscellaneous 7:56 pm EST, Mar 19, 2006

Tribler is a new, free/open source P2P network designed by Dutch academics to provide greater scalability and relevance to BitTorrent-style networks. Tribler defaults to sharing among your friends (and discovers new friends based on who's sharing stuff like the stuff you like), donates bandwidth to your friends, and so accelerates downloads. Tribler's authors present their technology as a means of delivering high-bandwidth material, like HD video, over the Internet, with a recommender engine that helps you find the stuff you don't know you're looking for.

Seth's Blog: The best presentation...
Topic: Miscellaneous 7:56 pm EST, Mar 19, 2006

Ever since my early warning shot about Powerpoint, I've noticed an increasing tide of writing about:a. how much people hate giving presentationsb. how bad they are at it

I just came across a super new book on the topic, Why Bad Presentations Happen to Good Causes. Even if the content wasn't good (it is) the quality of the printing is so wonderful, it's a pleasure to hold.

Consumer-generated media may never be a big moneymaker for its creators, but that doesn't mean it won't have a huge impact.

Awhile ago, my husband Brian said "wouldn't it be funny if
you were sitting on the subway reading a book and on the front
cover�it said, How to Murder a Complete Stranger and Get Away with
It? �Imagine what people around you would think, especially when
you finally finished the book"
