Photos: Gearing up to enter Apple's glass cube
Summary: Steve Jobs joins crowd in anticipation of the opening of the Mac maker's underground flagship store in Manhattan.
11 of 14Image
Gary Allen
Gary Allen, from Berkeley, Calif., has been to several Apple grand openings around the world, including two openings in Japan and the opening of the London store. He has been standing (and sitting) in line in front of the Apple store since the wee hours of Thursday morning. He runs a Web site called Ifo Apple Store where he posts a blog about store openings. He is blogging live about the Fifth Avenue grand opening.
Stormy Shippy
Stormy Shippy, 20, from Dallas, is the first person in line at the grand opening of the new Apple store. He was also the first person in line at the London opening, back in November of 2004. Shippy, who owns an Apple PowerBook and an iPod, doesn't consider himself an Apple fanatic, but he says he is an Apple fan. So why is he standing in the rain all night and day? "There's really no explanation why any of us are here," he said. "It's just fun to be here and meet all the other people in line."
Surfing the Net with an iBook
A die-hard Apple fan sits in the rain under an umbrella on Friday morning, tapping away on his Apple laptop as he waits in line for the doors of the 32-foot glass cube store entrance to open. If he is lucky, he could walk away with a free Intel-based MacBook. Apple is giving away new 13-inch MacBooks every hour for 24 hours as part of a grand-opening promotion.

We just got confirmation that our kickstarter campaign for our artist residency program is now live! That means our Galactic Gatsby Masquerade/Fundraiser tomorrow is our official launch! Tickets are going fast so be sure to get yours soon!
We had a great discussion last night after our screening of the documentary Terms and Conditions May Apply. This is the first of several events we plan to hold about online surveillance and how you can protect your privacy, next one is coming up Nov. 6.
Most people at the screening expressed how they already knew much of their activity was being tracked, but were surprised by the extent of the tracking, and that it's already been used to stop nonviolent protests before they even happen.
If you're interested in taking action to preserve your 4th amendment rights, here's some info about what you can do this Saturday:
Here's a story from Leslie Birch, designer of the award-winning FLORAbrella and electronic designer extraordinaire! She's teaching our upcoming workshop, Program a Blink-tastic Costume: Intro to Lilypad, this Saturday, October 26, 10am-4pm. There's a few spots still open, reserve yours today!
I don't think I will ever forget the first time I lit up LED's. In fact, it was at one of The Hacktory's first classes on simple circuits and we made little spiders that were so adorable. Now I'm lighting up 5 meters of LED strips and loving it! My recent project was part of the Adafruit/Element 14 Get Closer Challenge. The idea was to create something that would bring people together using the FLORA microcontroller. So, I decided to make an umbrella that would use LED strips and a color sensor, so that it could either match your clothing, or do fun patterns like a changing rainbow or random rain. I did a lot of research and planning, and I even learned how to do Fritzing — a drag-and-drop program that allows you to make circuit diagrams. In the end, the project really surprised me, and I still find myself laughing at how amazing it looks.
So, I feel like everyone needs to connect with their inner maker, and I want to help them do it. My "Program a Blink-tastic Costume" workshop offered the end of this month will teach people the basics of a circuit, give them creative freedom with LED colors and placement, and allow for awesome programming. It is so cool to make lights do what you command them to do, especially when it is on your own outfit! I can tell you just from walking around with my umbrella, that people are truly amazed by the magic of lights. So, expect an entourage with your blinking costume. The best part is that you can tell others the story of how you created it and spread the word about DIY electronics. Be emPowered!
8static is celebrating 5 years of amazing live chip music shows and, having outgrown their most recent venue at PhilaMoca, they are moving on to bigger and better things, including their own label. Their upcoming festival, which showcases around 30 artists over three days, is the perfect way to celebrate!
It all starts on Thursday, October 17th at 6:00 pm at the First Unitarian Church. You can view the incredible lineup and schedule here. Tickets
Keep track of updates on their site, where you can subscribe to their newsletter. Find them on Facebook and Twitter. And check out the latest release on their new label by Corset Lore, who is also performing on Thursday.
See you at the festival!
We're excited to announce that Adafruit Industries has donated some excellent wearable electronics prizes for the raffle at our annual Masquerade Party on November 2! Tickets here.

We hope to see you there. Thanks again, Adafruit!
Abby and I wanted to take a moment to write about our plan for next Sunday's Sewing with Circuits workshop, which kicks off October's series of costuming events here at The Hacktory! Here's our plan to help folks get fabulous for our Galactic Gatsby Masquerade:
Light-up fashion has been spreading over the past several years, working its way up from the hobbyist world to the runway, and now disseminating back into the community. Our class is designed to give beginners a crash course in circuits and sewing and a practical guide to working with e-textiles, including the LilyTiny, a pre-programmed sewable microcontroller. We'll provide materials for attendees to make an LED mask or fascinator, or you can bring your own fabric and work on your own project. Whether you're just dipping your toes into the world of soft circuits, or ready to add a professional polish to your skills, we hope you'll join us for an afternoon of creativity and design!
About the Instructors
Abigail Seligsohn has 13 years of design experience in the graphic and fashion fields. Her jewelry company AbiGrl has had international press recognition (Elle, British Elle, Teen Vogue, Nylon, and more) and celebrities such as Brandy and Jessica Alba have worn her work. Since finishing a program researching e-crafting at Penn, she's been teaching workshops at The Hacktory and 3rd Ward, and currently does graphic design for Back on My Feet. She's excited to teach people how to conceptualize their aesthetic and use technology to create it.
Christalee Bieber has been teaching electronics in various form factors (squishy, sewable, sensing) since joining The Hacktory last spring. She currently runs the fabrication shop and afterschool activities at the Workshop School in West Philadelphia. She's looking forward to finally learning enough to make the fiber-optic RGB fascinator of her dreams.
We have our last event for our Light Up the Crescent series tonight. In case you haven't heard, all through September we've been working with Second Muse and the Schuylkill River Development Corporation to create a series to promote the Gray's Ferry Crescent Park. Tonight is our last Bike Parade, leaving the SW corner of Rittenhouse around 7 pm, and heading to the Crescent to check out our swarm of robotic fireflies there. We've posted a map of the route before, but here's a little more detail if you want to come, or know how to get to the crescent in the future. There are several entrances to the park, but we like the one off of Wharton street. Wharton becomes two-way west of 33rdd street (indicated with the arrow on this map), so we will take that route to the park. You can also turn onto Wharton from 34th street as well. Hope you can make it tonight!
We've fallen a bit behind on reporting on Project Night! Here's a couple of notes from last month, from Kim B.
Panel discussion: State of Collaborative Spaces in Philly
There are a lot of collaborative spaces in Philly, how do we get them to be more merged but still distinct? How do we make the public aware of these spaces?
Georgia Guthrie, director of The Hacktory
Alex Hillman, co-founder of Indy Hall
Nic Esposito, founder of The Head & Head Press
Panel coordinator:
Chris Wink, co-founder and editor of Technical.ly
The discussion centered around the collaborative/experimental spaces in our fair city of Philadelphia. The turnout was great, about 50 people, and so was the beer, which had coffee in it! There definitely seems to be a strong case for Philadelphia existing as an up-and-coming (and in many ways, already there) metropolis for co-working, entrepreneurship, and start-ups. There were various interesting business models discussed, and on the whole the panel had a lot to share, as well as the people who attended. Read More
We had a great day assembling more fireflies and holding our workshop as part of Camp Crescent yesterday at the Grays Ferry Crescent. Unfortunately the weather shifted later in the evening and was no longer friendly for the fireflies. We've rescheduled our swarm for tonight at 7 pm though, so be sure to come out and see them. This gives you one more chance before our last swarm this coming Friday after our bike parade.
Firefly Prototyping from The Hacktory on Vimeo.
We did a whole lot of soldering this past weekend, in preparation for our series of events where we will Light Up the Grays Ferry Crescent. There's quite a bit more to do, but we're pretty excited about our fireflies. We put together this quick video to show how our electronic fireflies are built and how they look right now. There's only 5 finished ones at the end – but we have many, many more, and will have a more complete housing for them as well. Hope you can make it out to see them!
Thanks to all of our awesome volunteers who came out to help solder!

There is an unspoken rule that a ruggedized phone must be ugly as sin. The leaked Kyocera Brigadier sure looks ruggedized, as evidenced by the less than attractive design. What's it look like? Imagine a Casio G'zOne, but perhaps even uglier.
The Galaxy S4 Zoom, Samsung's strange combination of a standard Android phone and a point-and-shoot camera, was a bit of an odd duck. But it seems to have sold enough units that Samsung intends to release a new model, if only to continue their strategy of covering every possible cell phone niche. Photos posted on Baidu show what's claimed to be the "Galaxy K," which certainly seems to be an updated version of the S4 Zoom.
So the Google Nexus Twitter account was doing some impromptu support for a user and included a screenshot. How helpful! Well, more helpful than they intended it to be. The screenshot shows a slightly tweaked dialer app with a blue action bar. First they took our #33b5e5, now they're coming after the gray. Actually, I think I'm okay with that.
OnePlus has been amazingly and infuriatingly evasive when it comes to their much-hyped One phone, bordering on "bloody cheeky" with their series of faux-viral specification and schedule reveals. Perhaps one of their hardware or marketing partners got as fed up with waiting as we are, because a full set of convincing photos and renders has been leaked via a Chinese forum.
The set of photos shows what looks like a pretty standard high-end phone, with the interesting addition of a variety of removable"StyleSwap" back covers, including various covers made of (or at least covered in) wood, carbon fiber, and denim.
There have been a lot of leaks lately, and they don't show any sign of slowing down - Yoel Kaseb (via Google+) has shared screenshots of what he claims to be a test build of a redesigned Google+ app. According to his post, the build is unstable and probably unfinished, and he has since been locked out from accessing or using the APK. But what we can see from the screenshots Kaseb managed to capture is both compelling and in line with some of the other leaks we've seen recently.
An Amazon phone has been rumored almost as long as an Amazon tablet, but now we might have actually caught our first glimpse of this unicorn device. Photos acquired by BGR show a phone clad in protective armor to hide the design. It appears to have a number of unusual sensors on the front, but the accompanying information points to a use for them – Amazon's Kindle phone will allegedly have a 3D interface.
Several weeks ago, we caught wind of Android 4.4.3 and some of the changes it could bring, consisting mostly of bug fixes, both big and small. At this point, according to several sources familiar with the matter, Android 4.4.3 has entered internal testing outside of the core Android team - a process otherwise known as dogfooding. The final release isn't expected to hit public devices for a number of weeks, so those of you expecting it any day now will have to wait just a bit longer.
Geek.com is back with another round of leaked screenshots. We shared the reported experimental Gmail images last week, which showed a radically different interface from the one we've grown accustomed to. Those images, and these new ones, allegedly come from early test builds, so whether they reveal much about Google's future plans remains to be seen. Nevertheless, here are the new calendar screens, the last of which shows the name "Timely" at the top, apparently Google's internal name for the Calendar app that ships pre-installed on devices.
If there's one thing we hear time and again about Android, it's the F word: fragmentation. While it's largely just an annoying word used to get under the skin of Android fans, I think in at least one respect, it's been a valid criticism: the wildly varying experiences Android users have with the post-purchase support and software on their handsets. Now, it's equally correct to say that's not really Google's fault, nor its responsibility - OEMs are the ones dropping the ball in a lot of respects here, and I totally agree with that!
It's hard not to be excited about the future of Google Now. It's already an incredibly powerful tool, on its way to being a do-anything personal assistant, and we've heard tell of even more functionality from bill pay reminders to inferred events entries to contact-based reminders.
Today, though, we've heard about something that many have asked for from Google Now for a long time now - actual timer functionality. Search may not be getting its own built-in timer, but it won't be side-stepping your request to set an alarm, either.

Lunch with Granddaughter in Paris
- zuriga1 Jul 22, 2006 09:11 PM
I'm trying to find a fun place to take my granddaughter while on our one day trip to Paris. I only know grown up places!! She's an adventurous eater from the States, and I'd like something she'll remember and enjoy. Her father will have to listen to his mother this time.
I was thinking she might like Hotel du Nord on the Canal St. Martin. How old is she? My niece and nephew who live in London and have been travelling to Paris since they were very small loved and still love L'Entrecote- La Venise and Le Rotisserie d'en Face. If you want to give her a fairy tale dinner, how about Laserre or Ledoyen.
re: faijay
What I'm afraid of, faijay, is that we'll just end up eating 'someplace' because we're in a certain area at lunchtime. It's just a daytrip and I know how those things turn out. I guess for my 9 year old granddaughter, anyplace will be new and exciting in Paris. She wants a 'real' eclair.. a girl after my own heart. Btw.. we were very disappointed with my old reliable, Rotisserie D'en Face when we were there in March. Maybe I'm getting jaded or it was an off night.
re: zuriga1
If you are going to the Musee D'Orsay, the cafe there would be terrific for lunch since you are surrounded by art. Sorry to hear that about Rotisserie, I haven't been for a couple of year or more, but it was a must visit from the early nineties.
For a girl who loves eclairs--maybe she should also be introduced to macarons at Laduree. There are several branches so that would be a nice one for lunch.
Have fun creating a memory of Paris for your granddaughter.
It would help to know what your plans are for that one day trip. With such little time, you will not want to cross the city for a specific resto. And with only one day, I wouldn't want to spend 3 hours or more in a high end place, but rather explore a nice part of the city.
I'd first make a rough plan of the day (or does your granddaughter choose??) and then pick a place in the neighbourhood you plan to be around lunch time.
Also, what day of the week and when exactly will you be here. Lots of restos, especially small neighbourhood bistrots will close down for some time in August.
Thanks, everyone. So far we have no plan, but will. I'm sure we'll try to find something in one of our 'must' locations rather than travel just to eat somewhere specific. It will be August, on a Thursday, so a museum cafe might be perfect... Louvre near the shops or the D'Orsay.
The museum resto at the Musée d'Orsay is pretty much ok. Not to be confused with the café (which is nice, too, BTW).
Near the Louvre, you can always go to Café Marly.
Also, Le Fumoir is pretty trendy and good for a snack. If it's really boiling hot, I'd go for something light anyway. you can always stop at some famous patisserie later and grab something to satisfy your sweet tooth.
There are a couple of pretty nice hidden bistrots near the d'Orsay, but I fear some might be closed in August (especially the week of August 15, which is a holiday).
If you have your heart set on eating at the Musee d'Orsay (in the the big fancy restaurant; sorry I don't remember its name), better check first. When we were there last week, the room was being remodeled. They were serving lunch at a few tables in the corridor, but the wow factor is definitely missing at the moment.
One of my favorite places near the Musee d'Orsay is the Voltaire. They have the world's best eggs mayonnaise, a meal in itself, which costs approximately $3.
re: zuriga1
I also like Cafe Voltaire (part of Voltaire), which also offers the oeufs mayonnaise as well as a plat du jour at a fraction of the price of Restaurant Voltaire. The secret of this place is ordering off the chalkboard menu. They get confused and irritated by anything else.
I had one other thought last night. What about one of the places in the Eiffel Tower? Although, I think they are tres cher. It would make a lovely dinner.
When my boys were younger, their favorite places for lunch in Paris were: Galleries Lafayette, Le Train Bleu, snacking their way through Fauchon and at the Tour Eiffel.
Granted, this has been a while and I don't know if the choices are valid any longer. Have a wonderful day.
A trendy store with a hip restaurant in its basement is Colette at 213 St Honore.
The basement restaurant is called 'The Water bar'and it is informal as you sit around communal tables of six people but supermodels are all around.
If your nine year old granddaughter is into fashion; this is the place; even the soup and salads are excellent.
re: An American Living in London
Thanks. If I don't get her this trip, I'll definitely go there next time I'm in Paris for a longer stay!
You might also check out the thread a few down from here about good hot chocolate places in Paris- if I had tried that stuff when I was a kid....
Again, don't know if they are open in August, but I highly recommend the one-two punch of La Charlotte for hot chocolate and Berthillon for ice cream, on the Ile St-Louis, down the street from each other. But Angelina is a bit more central, especially if you're at the Louvre or the Musee d'Orsay.
re: PhillyTim
Of the many places we have taken our son in Paris, his most memorable was the Creperie des Arts on the rue St. Andre des Arts. Funky interior (reminding him of the Flintstones), great crepes (especially the desert crepes) and a black cat that fell asleep on my lap.
re: PhillyTim
There is a place called Apollo at Denfert-Rochereau which has an enormous terrace at the back, slightly space age bathrooms and is very welcoming to children, they even have pass times at weekends. It is a bit out of the way but near the catacombs - however the catacombs scared my 5, 7 year olds and slightly scared my sensitive 12 year old so may not be a good idea.
Believe it or not, my trip to Paris is postponed until October. I was a victim of the airline problems but life goes on. I appreciate everyone's comments and hope we can hear more about what the kids enjoy.
Philly June

MISSISSIPPI RIVER — Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon and the barge industry are imploring the federal government to keep water flowing on the Missouri and Mississippi rivers or face potential "economic disaster."
The nearly year-long drought has left many waterways at historic lows. Nixon sent a letter urging the Army Corps of Engineers to rethink plans to stop the release of water from the Missouri's upstream reservoirs beginning Dec. 1. That would also reduce flow on the Mississippi since the Missouri merges into the Mississippi.
Nixon says the move could create an "economic disaster." Meanwhile, the American Waterways Operators and Waterways Council last week urged Congress and President Barack Obama to act to keep the water flowing.
Messages left with the Corps were not immediately returned.
In a separate item, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Vicksburg District Mat Sinking Unit (MSU) is currently working on the Mississippi River near Blackhawk, La., on river mile 328.
Thus far this season the MSU has placed 229,405 squares or approximately 527 acres of articulated concrete mats on the banks of the Mississippi River. The goal for this six-month revetment season is to place 442,786 squares covering approximately 1,018 acres. The next location for the MSU is mile 225 near Arlington, La.
This revetment season may extend through February 2013 and includes a larger than normal program that requires critical repairs to sites damaged as a result of the 2011 historic flood. Due to this longer than normal season, an additional 90 jobs may be required for temporary positions, beginning December 2012.
Mat sinking is seasonal work where employees live and dine on the quarter boats that tie off to the bank near the work area. They work in shifts and perform one of the most important jobs in the Corps of Engineers river stabilization program.
The MSU is the only one of its kind in the world and consists of the Motor Vessel Benyaurd with the quarter boats, the Motor Vessel William James with the mat sinking plant and the Motor Vessel Harrison which all work together to distribute articulated concrete mat squares on the banks of waterways. These concrete mats assist with the prevention of erosion and to protect submerged river banks. The scope of work encompasses three Corps' districts, seven states and multiple watersheds, and utilizes proven technology in river engineering and operations.

I think the PEACE Corps should pull up its stakes in Africa and come home. I had a classmate, who was on a Big Ten basketball team in college, who joined the PEACE Corps. He was assigned to Kenya and as far as I know is still there. I don´t think the hoodlums of al-Qaida are that interested in learning to play American basketball.

Islam is a cult of death. One indelible memory of a 1977 trip to Kenya was being accosted on a Nairobi street by a proselytizing Muslim, who warned me that if I didn´s convert to Islam, I would be hellbound, My response to him was to turn or burn: that the Judeo-Christian Bible was truth, that the Koran was fiction, and that he himself would suffer a Stygian fate if he didn´t repent and seek the true God (the God of Israel). He smiled mysteriously and disappeared. I guess it wouldn´t be a good idea to try that again in Kenya today. At that time the interfaith War hadn´t officially started.Rather than argue the point, it´s better now to be armed. (If that´s allowed anywhere overseas.) The best advice is to stay out of any country with a significant Muslim population, and to resist all efforts being made to mainstream it here.

Projector on a smartphone? There's a chip for that
Caltech researchers have demonstrated a chip they hope will one day let smartphones act as projectors. Instead of the light sources, image and lenses needed for a traditional projector, the Caltech chip uses an optical phased array (OPA) to create a projected image from a single laser diode – along the way eliminating the need …
"Caltech researchers have demonstrated a chip they hope will one day let smartphones act as projectors."
Really? So what do you call this:
Beam Projector Smartphone
Projection with 15 Lumen DLP (Digital Light Projector)
Your smartphone's built-in projector gives you the freedom to share - to really share - all kinds of contents with your friends virtually anywhere. Stunningly good definition with a gradated throw up to 2 meters away, you can adjust sizing as you wish, up to 50" large - as big as your TVs.
(Yes, yes, I know: there's a difference in the technology used. However, the first line of the article makes it sound like there is no such thing as a phone with a built-in projector, regardless of how it does it)
I think that is it, it is the technology incorporated. You can have steam engine powertrain cars or hydrogen fuel cell ones, the caltech solution is more elegant.
This one *is* different
Unlike phone projectors that have gone before, this one works by changing the phase angle between the emitted electrons.
In many ways this replicates what a phase array radar does, just at a much smaller scale (light wavelength instead of microwaves). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phased_array
Re: This one *is* different
That's really important for everyone who's avoided phone projectors on the grounds that they have nothing in common with phased array radar.
Actually, the throwaway remark at the end that this could be used for cheaper and more robust LIDAR is probably the most exciting aspect of this - personally I need a self-driving car more often than I need a projector phone.
Re: This one *is* different
I was surprised as well. LIDAR is surely a much more useful application than a smartphone projector, and to go mainstream my self driving car is going to need something a bit more compact than the current mechanical scanning LIDAR variants that Google and the like are using.
Re: This one *is* different
"We could put this in your phone" is often just a shorthand way of saying "smaller / fewer moving parts / lower power consumption than the existing way of doing things".
Re: This one *is* different
I'd say "We can put this in your phone" is mostly a way to grab the attention of mainstream media, hopefully attracting more investment.
vector graphics
In essence, the array creates a "light pen" that draws an image on a target surface as lots of discrete lines
Ah, I wonder where I put that Tektronix 4014 graphics library?
Re: vector graphics
Re: Asteroids
The joy of flying off the right hand side of the screen and re-emerging from the left, coming to a wall near you!
Re: asteroids
Re: asteroids
Star Wars - my fav vector graphics arcade game of the 80s.
'use the force luke'
Re: vector graphics
Having played Pong on the side of a pub thanks to a friend's disco laser (@VideoGameCarny), this tech seems useful as-is. Though if it could do a full game of Star Wars by laser interferometry, that'd be a nice treat.
Re: asteroids... et al.
EEEEH! Battlezone!!!
Re: asteroids... et al.
Re: asteroids
'use the force luke'
thats what she said
Only two questions
Assuming they can scale it;
1) What sort of power does it need and 2) can it produce a sensibly bright image, i.e. that could be used in a room with 'normal' lighting.
If the answer to 1) is 'about the same or less as your display', and to 2) is 'yes' then they've got something potentially useful. If it drains the battery faster than a squirrel on caffeine or needs near-blackout conditions, then it remains a gimmick in a 'phone, no matter how clever it is.
Personally I hope they can get it to work, 'cos I've had occasions where an impromptu wall projection would have been dead handy. Of course, there would be the problem of how to prop your device stably at the right angle (think you've got a steady hand? try magnifying by a factor of 15-20 and see if you can still read the screen :) ), but I'm sure somebody would make a case for that...
Re: Only two questions
I'm inclined to believe the current class of image stabilization used in cameras should be able to handle the required compensation for most people. Heck if a helicopter can paint a target a mile away long enough for the missile to arrive this should be fairly easy. Granted the allowed error bar is probably fairly large when using high explosives but they've been at this for quite some time.
Now then, can we up the power and do laser tattoo removal at a distance? What about micro etching unique identifiers on cars stopped at a traffic light? Drone spotting?
How do they propose to mount this on the head of a shark?
Yes. I want sharks with frickin phasers!
Re: How do they propose to mount this on the head of a shark?
The problem is that with this tech you're more likely to be bored to death by the powerpoint "presentation" delivered by the shark mounted laser projector than any time delayed (important to allow the chance of escape) groin dissecting high power laser that's strangely visible as a line in the air...
Death by powerpoint is a most foul, cruel and evil way to kill people but it could take a long time as most people are either immune to this by now (natural selection in action) or have adequate survival techniques already developed.
Battery life will never improve on phones, always another feature to slap on and cause more drain. Not to mention phones getting thinner.
People don't want smartphone projectors
The market has already demonstrated almost no one needs/wants a phone that acts as a projector, or those phones that already exist with this capability would have been hot sellers.
But if you ignore the clickbait of making this about smartphones, would this technology make proper projectors better than current ones in some way? The article says this is a new way of doing things, but doesn't really explain why it is better than current solutions aside from not having moving parts. That's nice and all, but current LCD projectors aren't breaking down due to moving parts problems as far as I know...
Phased array with *light*
That's pretty amazing.
However AFAIK most phased array systems are very narrow bandwidth.
But I think it's still a bit v 0.1 tech.
Cautious thumbs up.

Current Newsletter
ifec newsletter july 2014
Message from the President
Sam Oches
Editor, QSR magazine
Hey IFECers,
Happy July! Hope your summer has been swell and that the back half of the year looks promising for you and your clients.
Only a few short months stand between now and the annual conference in November. Be excited! Carol and I traveled to Dallas last month to do some reconnaissance and had a blast. Dallas has it all: breweries, barbecue, bars, distilleries, artisan food makers, quirky food startups, prominent national foodservice brands, and more. The city's broad spectrum of foodservice representatives should give us great educational opportunities-as well as, you know, great wining and dining.
Conference planning continues to move along. We've got a high-quality crop of chefs already lined up for Chef Showcase, and the food-tour committee is finalizing plans for three fantastic tours that will give you a great sense of the city (two words: Artisan. Chocolate.). We're also ironing out the details for two great panels, one on foodservice in the retail space, and another picking the brains of Dallas-based restaurant executives.
So here's where the fun begins. Not only can you now register for the annual conference at www.ifeconline.com, but you can also help us get the word out via social media. Be sure to tweet about the conference or related activities using our Twitter handle, @IFECorg, and use the hash tag #IFECinDallas. You can also connect with us on Instagram (@IFECorg) and Facebook (IFEC).
We're also in need of some recruitment help. If you know a foodservice exec that might be interested in one of the panels, let us know! We're also still in the midst of our new member recruitment drive, and are especially interested in adding members from the operator side of PR, as well as editors and PR reps from the foodservice at retail space. Be sure to keep Carol and me in the loop if anyone comes to mind: email@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com.
As always, if anything else comes up or you have any questions, don't hesitate to give me shout!
Welcome New Members
Join us in a shout out to these four good people who have joined us this month. While you're at it, reach out to Joan Driggs (email@example.com) to tell her you'd like to be a mentor/buddy to help acclimate a new member.

In the next edition of our newsletter, GrokDotCom, John Quarto-vonTivadar and I co-wrote a piece discussing the comedy of errors that ensues when having your report jockey advise you on business decisions. Here's the article, hot off the press:
The Great Debate
"When All You Have is a Reporter, Every Analysis Looks like A Nail"
Analysis doesn't happen in a vacuum. And as we've said a thousand times: you can torture the numbers to confess, uh, I mean, rationalize just about anything.
Matt Belkin of Omniture blogged recently about the differences between Visits and Unique Visitors, as they relate to measuring reach and as they factor into the Conversion Rate formula. That is, Matt argues that Conversions per Visit is more important than Conversions per Unique Visitor. On occasion, we see our own clients make this sort of slip-up, so it's worth examining the arguments on their merits.
Matt writes:
"[Measured] Visits…always. Sure, call me crazy – but my logic is actually quite simple."
Simple? A finer description of this approach would be simplistic. Perhaps that's the root of the problem. Matt is clearly an intelligent guy. But from a software vendor stand-point, it's very easy to fall into the trap of seeing the Reporting software itself as the end, rather than as a means to an end.
From a business owner's perspective (and let's face it, from a customer's perspective), what she really needs is Analysis. If she could, the business owner would interview every one of those successful (and failed) customers to find out what the company did right and did wrong. Each of those customers is a Unique Visitor and it's the totality of the unique visitor experience that caused (or inhibited) a conversion.
Reporting is often times simple; Analysis is rarely so. Reporting requires condensation into sound-bites; Analysis requires segmentation into knowledge-bites. There's rigor involved in real analysis, wherein the software is the tool, not the talent.
Let's look at Matt's three reasons for preferring Visits over Visitors. As we'll see, his blanket statements are superficially true – at least upon first glance, but that a deeper understanding illustrates just how little reasoning supports them.
Reason #1: Visits are more accurate than Unique Visitors.
Technically, this is correct, but only if your definition of "accurate" is to simply "account for all data". That's like arguing we can reduce the crime rate simply by making Theft or Assault a legal activity. Will that make the citizenry safer from Theft or Assault? Or does it only remove those factors from the measured crime statistic?
From a data confidence standpoint, measured Visits are more likely to measure actual visits because measured visits are no more and no less than the actual visits we could measure – hence their name. However, there's more to this story.
Measured Visits is no more "accurate" at measuring reach than is Unique Visitors. In fact, they're far less so. How can visits possibly tell us about Reach, in anything other a relative sense? Reach is about people, not sessions. The value
of Visits in quantifying relative Reach is identical to that of Unique Visitors: the two are both apples-to-apples comparisons.
In short, measured visits accounts more accurately for actual visits, but actually provides you, the business owner, with less answers to the questions you're actually asking. Why is tracking Visits of less value? Matt's Reason #2 explains:
Reason #2: Every Visit represents an opportunity to persuade or convert a visitor to a customer.
Yes, absolutely this is correct, but not without some stipulations.
Do you understand the concepts of Macro vs. Micro conversions? Have you planned your scenarios accordingly, taking into account the three critical questions to
planning any persuasive system? Are you willing to optimize your scenarios for each visitor segment, summing these pipelines to have an Optimal Conversion Rate, rather than an Average Conversion Rate?
In the world of averages, every session does not represent an opportunity to persuade or convert a visitor to a customer. What every session does represent is an opportunity to persuade a visitor to decide to take an action (a micro-conversion) which brings her further into her buying process, and brings her closer to the end goal; the macro-conversion we're looking to optimize (i.e. our revenue generating conversions).
Take for example, a visitor beginning their search for a new car online. Does Cars.com truly have an opportunity to persuade visitors to convert themselves during a single session? Imagine a scenario where our online car buyer visits once, researching various styles and brands. She comes back a few days later, narrows her search to a few targeted makes and models, and downloads their fact sheets. She returns the next day and makes her purchase. That's three visits in the course of a week, and in Matt's software-only approach, that's a 33% conversion rate. How much time and effort should we spend trying to guess ways to optimize the 33% CR we'd report if we used Measured Visits as opposed to Unique Visitors?
The Conversion Rate in this scenario is the maximum it could be — there was one visitor, and she could only provide one sale. By focusing on Unique Visitors we keep our focus on the thing that matters most: a single, unique, prepared-to-part-with-money customer.
Matt continues with:
Reason #3: Measuring visits is based on fairly established industry standards
True, and that's exactly why it has less value to you. Are you industry standard? "What do you want to be when you grow up, Tommy? " "Oh, just average." Is that the sort of business you're running, to be just like everyone else? Or is your business gunning to be an Astronaut or a Fireman, or an Olympic swimmer?
It's disappointing to return back to the world of averages. I recall a time when Amazon was the "industry standard" for online checkout processes. Many an e-tailer went belly up trying to copy their method, with similar lack of regard for the notion that maybe, just maybe, Amazon only worries about doing what's right for Amazon.
And what industry is setting these standards anyway? It's the Software Vendor's industry, not your business' industry, because their reporting tools report certain statistics more easily than others Yes, they're doing what's right for them. And there's nothing wrong with that; we just have to recognize it as a limitation of the reporting tools, and stop thinking that some magical black box can substitute for rational planning and analysis.
Matt goes on to talk about how Unique Visitors are a subjective measure, one the industry can't agree on in terms of length. He says this as if it's a bad thing.
Our clients often ask us for benchmarks so they can measure the size of their, uh, foot. We categorically refuse. What's a benchmark? When your system for conversion actively persuades 97% of your visitors to go elsewhere, benchmarks have little value beyond making you feel like a winner. I'd suggest a better way to make you feel like more of a winner: gobs and gobs of revenue.
The only benchmarks you should worry about are internal benchmarks. Bottom Line, how much money am I making? Am I making all that I should, given the resources I'm allocating to the process? Can I make more?
Matt closes with this gem:
"The longer your unique visitor timeframe, the more you effectively overstate success."
This is the purest evidence yet that you do not want to subscribe to these theories if your job, your company, or your family's income is on the line. Instead, knowledge of your customers, and more specifically, their buying process is the real key. And, for the record, the buying process is non-linear, and is not the same across products and companies. One cannot guarantee a buying decision can be made in a single sitting, for every sale, across all the products on the face of the planet, simply because the software vendors only know how to measure one way.
We help define the complexity of our client's sales in 4-dimensions. Not all sales are equally as complex. There's the issue of compacted and non-compacted information, as it relates to the various handles of information your customers grab onto, and their angle of approach. The length of time you define for your Unique Visitors should be long enough to encapsulate their buying process, but short enough to take into account when they fail to convert at the macro-level. It's tremendously more important that some simple Reporting software.
If that last paragraph found you lost in a sea of vocabulary, a life-preserver in the form of our new bookWaiting for Your Cat to Barkawaits you (but not before June 13th). You won't be drowning for long. In the meantime, trust me, there's nothing simple about truly analyzing your visitor behavior… unless of course you start with the conclusion and work backwards.
Pretty intersting Post. I read the original Matt Belkin Omniture post last week and posted on it in Webmetricsguru.com. I felt similar to you, mainly because everyone else cares more for Unique Visitors and going after visits, by itself, would make your metrics incompatible with what everyone else does.
But you guys have the conversion process down better than anyone – so I'm glad you took Matt apart on his post – people can confuse the means with the end, and I thought that was good point you brought out.
The tail wags the dog…
I wrote a post recently on Matt Belkin, of Omniture, whoblogged recently about the differences between Visits and Unique Visitors. I took a lot of his post and re-worked it – but I did not agree that visits are more…
Great post and needed I think. I agree with your assessment when it comes to retail and lead generation sites but can see Matt's point regards others. I've blogged it here;
Call me crazy but I've always found that the one metric that really mattered was how much money the site generated.
Having worked for everyone from small business operators to large corporations I've found that this is the only metric that matters to the people who own/run the business as well.
In football/sport it's called keeping your eyes on the ball and not the scoreboard.
Players who focus too much on looking at the score will always lose the game.
(PS Sites that can't demonstrate how much income they are generating will have a short life expectancy.)

There is no such thing as "being too smart for the presidency ".Thomas Jefferson was brilliant yet he found ways to govern.There is so much to do as POUS anyone can expand their duties until their plate is full.Obama is simply ignorant and lazy.By ignorant I do not mean stupid.He is ignorant of how the world works and thinks. He ignorant because he thinks communism will work.The truth is is does not even come close to knowing what he does not know.If his time in office was a movie, it would be a grade B comedy. Oh wait, Peter Sellers did that movie as Chancey Gardner.

I always thought that being ignorant meant that one might not know something but has the potential to learn. Obama probably fits that description. He just doesn´t choose to learn; he is lazy and feels entitled to just "be" since he is so arrogant. It is called HUBRIS which was the fatal flaw in many of Shakespear´s protagonists.

The only thing Obama is smart about is sizing up situations to see how he can benefit, and in selecting smart/devious aides to work the system for him.He won the Dem nomination because his aides figured out how to job the Iowa caucuses, how to portray Bill as a racist, and how to get the Leftmedia on his team.He won the general election in 2008 by forfeit, and in 2012 by election fraud.This man is no smarter than your average french fry cook.

I got a wry smile reading about the Obamamometer, which measures shameless apple-polishing, with Obama at Harvard Law as the gold standard thereof.I´m in agreement with #11 that Obama is of above average intelligence--that´s a necessity for being able to BS one´s way into the presidency--and that his IQ is in the 106 to 119 range, sufficient to cause trouble but far from brilliant. However, if sheer gall were numerically measured like intelligence quotient, Obama would be around 200. There´s never been a larger gap in any political figure between stellar reputation (for brilliance) and earthbound reality.In all likelihood the numerically smartest president of our lifetimes was none other than Ol´ Milhouse himself. Only weeks before he passed away, I saw him giving an extemporaneous talk about foreign policy to a group of students. Although I consider myself to be of fair talent assembling words into cogent ideas, what President Nixon said that day rolled so effortlessly off his tongue, I was left in amazement. Intellectually, RMN never had to bust a gut trying to prove his smarts. He just was. And a lot of good it did him. (continued below)

It gladdens my heart to read kind words about Richard Nixon. He remains one of my presidential heroes. I recommend Julie Nixon´s book about her mother to get a better idea of the man her father was.

Barry has several traits in common with a con artist - especially his glib way of talking when not on TOTUS. But the good news is that even the best con can only go on for so long before people start getting suspicious.I think there is now more suspicion as Barry can´t produce the magic he promised in 2008. Even the low-fos are beginning to wonder why life isn´t easier or more fun - life is too much like work in their pea brains.#1 is right: NO followed by YES.

With the Lightbringer we´ve heard countless encomiums to his brainpower, but there´s little evidence apart from earnest affirmations from his retinue and from easy to impress, intellectually slothful historians who aren´t especially bright themselves.Almost everything he´s done has been wrong--not just wrong, but grievously wrongheaded and destructive. Unless the damage he has caused has been deliberate, how could that be evidence of acumen? He´ll never willingly release his academic records because his academic achievements were middling at best, in addition to being admitted to college and law school as a foreign student (with far lower standards). So this affirmative action hire has been blessed throughout life by a set of performance standards that are lower than you or I would have to meet. Not only did he AA his way into some ritzy schools for which his qualifications were meager at best, he AA´d through two presidential elections, his skin being the deciding factor. It was Martin Luther King´s iconic speech at the Lincoln Memorial turned on its head. But that´s what has happened to the old civil rights establishment: at one time on the side of the angels, now angling for (and getting) special rather than equal treatment.Walsh writes that to Obama the presidency is "...an entry-level gig on the way to something better or more interesting." Aside from assuming control of a UN on streoids (with the USA under the heel of the united unfree portion of humanity), I can´t imagine what other worlds Obama seeks to screw up royally.

Were Obama as brilliant as he wants everyone to believe, and as brilliant as some Streisands actually do believe he is, he would have had those college records made public before his first election. They would have shown his brilliance.But note, that so far, no one has even bothered to forge any college records showing O´s brilliance.Too big a hill to die on, I guess.

Neither. He is too socialist, too lazy and too arrogant.

I´ve come to believe that Obozo really didn´t do much to get elected in 2008. I believe that there were and are those in the background saw someone that they could control in all phases and used their money and political power behind the scenes in order to put this creep in the WH. And they have succeeded beyond their largest dreams. They want to take down the America we all grew up in and love so much, and turn it into a communist dung heap where there will be a small handful of those who will rule (not govern) the masses. And the masses will be force to work at jobs they hate in order to keep those few at the top living in luxury./rant

Obama too smart? Neither. He isn´t a genius, but he isn´t stupid either. Never underestimate him. He managed to defeat Hillery, John, and Mitt.Is the job too tough? Nope. He has largely accomplished what he set out to do which is institute foreign, economic, and cultural policies that do not favor the United States as a nation. What slows him down are politics, bureaucracy, and technology.

To take even the simplest thing, his ability (or lack of it) to speak extemporaneously is almost nil, except in the crudest colloquial way:But, but, but ... Joe Biden says:"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," Biden said. "I mean, that´s a storybook, man." http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/01/31/biden.obama/Little did we realize that the storybook Biden refers to was going to turn out to be something written by Stephen King.

I am not a brain surgeon or psychiatrist, but I don´t think that even good grades (assuming obozo had good grades, which we doubt) are a guarantee of practical functionality. We all know people who were smart in learning but couldn´t apply it to resolve problems on the job. We know people who are excellent teachers but can´t apply their PhDs to practical engineering (medicine, biology, etc). My personal opinion: obozo is lazy community organizer with limited intelligence.

BO is street smart and sly. He knows how to bully and use people. He knows how to schmooze people when necessary. He makes a great con man.He gets away with it in this country because the media covers for him. He flops on the world stage because the world press are no longer his sycophants.BO sees the presidency as another opportunity to run a con. In that, he has been wildly successful. But he hasn´t the slightest desire or clue how to actually run the country.

Friends plan homecoming for injured teen
Updated On: Mar 06 2014 10:40:00 PM EST
Bartram High School junior Aubrey Thompson was thrown from a pickup truck in October and suffered severe head trauma. He has spent months in an Atlanta hospital recovering.
Channel 4 has learned that Thompson will arrive home Friday and there are big plans to give the Bartram Bears football player a very warm welcome back to Florida.
A group of Thompson's friends are asking other friends, family and supporters to greet him as he arrives home Friday. The group is asking people to set up on the west side of State Road 13 by the Sonic Restaurant, and line up along the road to wave and cheer as he arrives in Fruit Cove.
The journey toward recovery has been a long and difficult one for the three-sport varsity athlete at Bartram Trail High School. Thompson's football coach, Darrell Sutherland, told Channel 4 that the community has been praying for Aubrey's recovery and return home.
"I am anxious to get to see him, and I am really amazed by how the community has rallied around him and his family. It really speaks volumes to the faith and love in our community," said Sutherland.
Thompson is expected home between 4:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Friday; friends are urging folks to check back on the "Pray for Aubrey" Facebook page for updates about his trip home.
Students at Bartram Trail are also planning a fundraiser to for Thompson's medical expenses on Sunday on the Bartram Trail High School practice field from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

The Virginia field hockey team wrapped up its season-opening string of road games with a second straight loss to a ranked opponent.
No. 6 UVa lost 4-3 at No. 20 Iowa on Thursday afternoon to fall to 1-2 on the season. It was the second straight loss to a Big Ten opponent for the Cavaliers, who were shut out for the first time in three years in Sunday's 3-0 loss at No. 8 Penn State.
Caleigh Foust had a pair of goals for the Cavaliers on Thursday, while fellow sophomore Riley Tata had a goal and an assist. Through three games, Foust and Tata are tied for the team lead with three goals, while Tata leads the Cavaliers with seven total points.
Natalie Cafone had a game-high three goals for Iowa, including the game-winner. The Hawkeyes outshot UVa 18-12, and never trailed in the game.
The Wahoos play their next four in a row in Charlottesville, starting with Sunday's home opener against another nationally-ranked opponent, No. 7 Princeton. The Tigers open their season on Friday afternoon at Duke.
