Sesame Street and Blogging
12Jun095 Things Sesame Street Can Teach You About Breakthrough Blogging | Copyblogger.
They taught us about sharing and the letter Q. They taught us to jump rope in Spanish and how to count to 10. They taught us about life in the city, diversity, and the true love of a rubber ducky.
But did you know that Sesame Street actually has lots of lessons about how to be a better blogger?
There’s a reason Sesame Street is the longest-running children’s show in history. Actually, there are (at least) five reasons. And you can apply each of these to your blog, to create something that’s memorable, effective, and maybe even loved.

Malcolm Gladwell’s bestseller The Tipping Point revealed something surprising about our favorite show.
kindle parting…
19May09via LINK
While we were having a difficult time disassembling the Kindle 2, the rear cover of the Kindle was removed. Looking down the inside of the Kindle, the engineer said, “The cost must be very high. It’s really filled with components.” In fact, with a number of parts crammed in the small space, it gave us the impression of “a heap of parts.”
Looking at it more carefully, there was another substrate mounted on a part of the main board. It was an SD memory card slot. This is the only “two-structured” and thick part of the main board. In fact, the back side of the Kindle slopes along this part, making it look “distorted.”
“I think they designed the chassis after designing the board,” the engineer said.
In the mean time, the back cover of the Kindle 2 was taken off after some struggles.
We finally took off the back cover of the Kindle 2, sometime after removing the back cover of the Kindle.
“Oh, this is very tidy,” said the engineer who participated in the teardown. “They completely revamped the design.”
The exposed main boards of the new and old Kindles were clearly different from each other. While the old one was crammed with components, there was no double that the new one had much fewer parts and was well organized.
To analyze the main boards in detail, we removed them from the front covers of the chassis and looked at the back sides of the boards. The back side of the new Kindle’s main board was mounted with no part. In contrast, many components, including Samsung Electronics Co Ltd’s 256-Mbyte NAND flash memory, were found on the back of the old Kindle’s main board, reinforcing the impression that the old model is complicated and the new model is simple.

Color E-Paper is slowly ever so slowly happening
08May09Technology Review: Color E-Paper That Rivals the Real Thing.
Despite Amazon’s promise to reinvent the newspaper and magazine industry with its new, large-screen Kindle DX electronic reader, some people may be reluctant to embrace the technology until full-color displays are possible. A new approach developed by Philips now offers fresh hope for color e-paper displays that are so bright and clear that even traditional liquid crystal displays (LCDs) will pale in comparison.
According to Kars-Michiel Lenssen, who headed the work at Philips Research, based in Eindhoven, in the Netherlands, the new approach has the potential to create color images that are three times brighter than displays that use color filters, including LCDs. “This is the closest an electronic-paper technology ever got to printed paper,” he says.
Color displays normally require four subpixels–red, green, blue, and white–to create each full-color pixel. “That costs you in terms of resolution,” says Pieter van Lieshout, head of product research and development for Polymer Vision, which was spun off from Philips Electronics three years ago to develop flexible electronic-paper displays.
MACBOOK icon is videoing…
05May09I have a feeling we will have multiple screens big ones, small ones, fat ones, skinny ones, tall ones, short ones, square ones, round ones…. all on one device! woah!
just think how you mind sensory will overload…. I personally think we do this to technology because our brains are bored…. the more coolness comes out the more our brain chemicals trigger addictions….
check it – someone got the apple icon to play video… see his site for more info.

New way for E-INK–video style
04May09
A new display technology could make electronic paper look more like the real thing. Conventional ink on paper has a much higher brightness and black-and-white color contrast than electronic paper. The new display, made by researchers at the University of Cincinnati, in Ohio, is designed to match the brilliance and contrast of paper. “We’ve demonstrated a technology where you have the brightness of paper, and color has the same saturation that you expect from printed media,” says electrical- and computer-engineering professor Jason Heikenfeld, who led the work, which was published in Nature Photonics.
The pixels also switch between black and white within one millisecond, making the technology suitable for video (LCDs currently switch in a few milliseconds). A slower refresh speed of tens to hundreds of milliseconds is one of the main issues plaguing current e-paper.
So far, Heikenfeld and his colleagues have made rigid black-and-white displays that reflect 55 percent of ambient light–far more than any electronic-paper products currently on the market. White paper reflects 85 percent of ambient light, so it looks much brighter than Heikenfeld’s system. But Heikenfeld says that the technology could be used to make full-color flexible plastic displays that have more than 60 percent brilliance, and higher-grade materials and manufacturing processes should eventually make his device almost as bright as white paper.

I suggest you go see the video cause text and images will not experience the vision of computing future. It is about our own paper performing “magic” before our eyes, getting larger or smaller, showing video, or helping us improve an art project. Very conceptual base.

Amuen – social canvas…
24Apr09via FT
World-recognized strategy, innovation, and design consultancy RKS, in collaboration with Neuma, is proud to announce the debut of Amuen.com, the new social network where creative souls can connect to celebrate, showcase, and inspire all kinds of creativity and art.
When it comes to reasons to live, art and human interaction top the list for Carson Hill, painter, tattoo artist, and inventor. “Art is very inspiring – to me the universe and everything in it is art,” said Carson. Steve Johnson, Carson’s right hand at Neuma (the company behind the Neuma Hybrid) comes from a very different, but no less creative world. The idea for Amuen (am-yoo-en) struck when Carson and Steve realized there was a need for a site that welcomes creatives and artists of all types. No matter what your medium, there are elements of the creative process that transcend any one discipline.
Why the name Amuen? Well, Amuen is a type of African word that means “spirits,” – a nod to the creative spirit within each of us. Neuma on the other hand, is Latin for “spirited” or air-powered. Oh, and if you hadn’t noticed, Amuen is Neuma spelled backwards. But that’s strictly coincidence.
