HAMDPEN-SYDNEY, VA-In the fifth and final game of the Fifth Annual Floyd B. Wilcox Memorial Tournament, Franklin and Marshall scored five runs on ten hits to defeat the host Hampden-Sydney Tigers 5-2. With the loss, Hampden-Sydney falls to 4-5 and goes 1-1 in the Tournament. Franklin and Marshall improves to 2-1.
The Tigers got off to the early as lead as Jordan Wind (Tappahannock, VA/Essex) scored the first run of the game after leading off the inning with a single. Erick Herrmann (Glen Allen, VA/Deep Run) extended his hit streak to nine consecutive games while batting in Wind.
The Diplomats, however, slowly built their lead with two runs in the second and one run in the third, seventh, and eighth innings. Meanwhile, starting pitcher Evan Lang did not allow another run in his six innings pitched.
The Tigers again reached the scoreboard after Andrew Tucker (Fincastle, VA/James River) scored in the bottom of the eighth, but it was not enough.
Dan Nicoll (Centreville, VA/Bishop Ireton) took the loss after allowing four runs on nine hits in 6.1 innings. He struck out three batters and walked two. Kyle McKay (Midlothian, VA/Cosby) and Garrett Birnbaum (Moseley, VA/Cosby) combined to pitch 1.2 scoreless innings, and Aaron Van Allen (Danville, VA/Tunstall) allowed one run on one hit in an inning of work.
Offensively, Wind and Herrmann led the way with two hits each. Tucker, Patrick Kuhns (Stafford, VA/North Stafford) and Hunter Lewis (Newport News, VA/Menchville) also all recorded a hit.
The Tigers return to action, Tuesday, February 28, as they travel to North Carolina to face Greensboro College. First pitch is set for 6:00 pm.

As Librarians across the country begin the annual pilgrimage, I am joining the ranks!
I will admit it has been a number of years since I have attended ALA Annual Conference. However, I say that will my head held high. Why? For the last 8 years, as the Director of the Trenton Free Public Library we survived a number of devastating budget cuts that resulted in layoffs and service reductions. In a climate continually fraught with budget woes, it would not have been appropriate to spend operational funds to travel to the conference. Instead, I continued my professional development in other ways.
That said, nothing replaces the opportunity to network with your colleagues, wander the exhibits looking at the latest technology, meeting and talk with vendors who shape the next great offering to our services, and learning about the latest trends in our profession. I am thrilled to be on my way to do just that!
In addition, I will be participating in a panel discussion on Sunday June 26 at 10:30-11:30am in the Orange County Convention Center, Room W101B
A Library App: Driving a Better Customer Experience & the Metrics That Matter
Specifically, I will be presenting a brief talk on "Discontinuous Change through Mobile Service" discussing how mobile services can change our service model to reach non-users, why it hasn't happened sooner, and what we need to do to manage the process.
Here's to a great conference! Safe travels everyone.

Interval Leisure Group And Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Provide Update On Stockholder Tax Matters And Closing Of Acquisition Of Vistana Signature Experiences
Interval Leisure Group, Inc. and Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. ("Starwood") today announced that they have concluded that no withholding of tax under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 ("FIRPTA") is required with respect to ILG common stock received by any person in ILG's upcoming acquisition of Starwood's vacation ownership business, Vistana Signature Experiences, Inc. ("Vistana"). In addition, the parties are working with the Internal Revenue Service to confirm that any gain realized by a nonU.S. holder that is treated for tax purposes as owning 5% or less of the stock of Starwood and Vistana between and including the record date and the closing date will not be subject to FIRPTA tax on the disposition of Vistana stock in the transaction. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors as to the particular tax consequences to them of the transactions.
The acquisition, which will occur through a merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of ILG with and into Vistana following the spin-off of Vistana from Starwood, is expected to close by the end of this week, subject to satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions. As announced on October 28, 2015, the Boards of Directors of ILG and Starwood unanimously approved the transaction. On April 20, 2016, ILG stockholders voted to approve the share issuance in connection with the merger at a special meeting of stockholders, and the merger has received all necessary anti-trust approvals.

There are tons of people on the internet today that are looking for small tattoo designs. These a great little tattoos that can be used to cover up a birthmark, scar, blemish or part of another tattoo. Small tattoo designs are also great for people getting their first tattoo. However if you are getting a small tattoo design done for you then you want to think carefully about the design you want. There are some things to consider before deciding on the exact design you want and especially if the tattoo is small.
The first thin you will want to consider is where you are getting the tattoo. What are the specifics of the size that you want. Sure small works but the tattoo artist designing the tattoo will need to know more specifics then just small. It can be helpful to get out a ruler and actually measure the size of tattoo design that is desired. Another consideration with small tattoos and there actual size is the location of the tattoo. For example a small tattoo design for the whole back will be too big for a foot.
It is also important when considering a small tattoo design to think about the amount of space available. It is important to think about the space of the overall design and the space between the elements of the design also. When things are small they can quickly become too much and overcrowded. A cleaner and simpler look typically works best with small tattoos as it will leave enough space for everything to be seen clearly.
Another thing to consider with any tattoo is the long term. Sure you might want a small, delicate tattoo with a very intricate look and lots of detail. However consider the amount of time you will have the tattoo. Tattoos are pretty much forever so the original tattoo work can start to spread through the skin. The problem is the lines start to blend together and one can quickly loose that delicate complexity of the tattoo over time. So it is important to think about this when planning out the design.
Another consideration when looking for small tattoo designs is the amount of detail. The smaller the tattoo is the less detail that can be put into it. If you want a very elegant tattoo with a lot of intricate designs then going small is pretty much impossible.
Cover Up
If you are getting the tattoo to cover scar tissue, blemishes or another tattoo then it takes carefully planning and measurement to get the exact size you are after. It is important of course to cover the whole area and not have anything left out.
Small tattoo designs are great and also very popular. They work very well for a person looking to get their first tattoo and can work well for the experienced tattoo customer as well. The most important thing to consider though when getting a small tattoo design is the amount of detail that needs to go into the tattoo. This amount of details will typically predict the size of a tattoo.

When it comes time to take a vacation, there are several things that you need to do if you would like to have the best experience in the Caribbean. You may choose to go to many of the more popular destinations such as Barbados, Bermuda, Antigua, or the Dominican Republic. However, you may not have heard of Grand Cayman. Part of a three island group, west of Puerto Rico, it is a destination that is absolutely astounding. You will find amazing things to do which will primarily be in the water, but it is what is in the water which will make this trip so memorable. Let's look at how to plan a trip to Grand Cayman if you decide to go so that you can save money and have an exciting time with friends and family.
Why Should You Go To Grand Cayman?
On a very basic level, it is one of the premier destinations in the Caribbean for doing snorkeling and scuba diving. If this is something that you like to do, you will certainly have fun in this area. You can also take private boating excursions, do deep-sea fishing, and really have a lot of fun out on the water. It is what is in the water, however, that makes this place so memorable. It has to do with stingrays, turtles, and microorganisms that will actually glow in the water. Let's look at each of these aspects of this trip, and then show you how to get the best deals on a summer vacation at Grand Cayman.
Top Three Activities To Consider
The first one is going to be a Cayman turtle divers tour which is going to involve snorkeling and scuba diving. It is right off the coast of Seven Mile Beach. You will get to swim with beautiful turtles that are in the water, something that many people have dreamed about, but this can become a reality once you are there. The second place to go is Stingray City which is a little further up on the West End. Again, you can Kayak out, or get a boating excursion, and it will take you directly out there. The water is very shallow and is perfect for young kids that you may be bringing with you to interact with these safe and friendly creatures. Finally, you can jump into the waters where bioluminescent organisms are swimming right off the side of the beach. You will be able to watch at your hands and feet begin to glow as you are paddling around in the nighttime waters. These are going to be your top three excursions that you go on, and you can save money as you are ordering them on the web.
Saving Money On Your Trip And Is Guided Tours It Is Easy
You can take guided tours that you can purchase as you are getting your flight and hotel. You will see special deals that are offered. You can simply choose to take advantage of the discounts that are available which will include Stingray City, swimming with turtles, and also the bioluminescent experiences. Once you have purchased everything, you will be set to go on your trip which is going to be exciting, even if you are only there for a week. Once you are done, you're going to realize that this was probably the best vacation that you have ever been on because of how warm and magical this place truly is.

OpenCL Image Support
>> Monday, June 20, 2011
The GPUs that I use for testing all support OpenCL image objects, but not to the fullest extent of the specification. For example, I can't get linear interpolation to work and many of the image format types don't seem to be readable by the kernel.
My latest concern has been with OpenGL-OpenCL interoperability. I've had no trouble creating buffer objects with clCreateFromGLBuffer, but when I try to create image objects with clCreateFromGLTexture2D, I always get the CL_INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT_DESCRIPTOR error. This happens no matter what image format I choose.
I spent a lot of time on this, but then I looked through the sample code in the AMD SDK. Instead of calling clCreateFromGLTexture2D, their application stores texture data using pixel buffer objects (PBOs). Very clever. PBO data can be shared with OpenCL buffer objects in the same way that VBO data can, and once the PBO is bound to the GL_PIXEL_UNPACK_BUFFER target, texture objects can read their image data from the PBO.
I'm glad there's a workaround for the clCreateFromGLTexture2D issue, but I'd be even happier if the function worked properly.

Red Hot Chilli Peppers-Part 1
January 30, 2006
It's Pouring Chillies"
A dear friend, who shall remain unnamed, is a dentist. He is very popular among his patients , who sometimes wait months just so he will take them on. At one time he lived in London where his waiting room was always full and his patients, patient.
Even at that time he made a point of working only 4 days a week. Always hospitable and a real foodie he would invite friends over just to share his food.I still recall him at the beginning of his cooking sessions. Wife and sons and friends would sit around the kitchen drinking wine to watch the the "master' at work.
He began by putting on surgical gloves. Thinking this was an odd way of carrying on his working life home with him, several newbies to the scene watched open mouthed. Half way through the proceedings most people realised the reason for the gloves. He would plunge his hand into a huge pot of red chilli powder and slather fish or chicken with fistfuls of the stuff.
" Can't have my patients gagging on me tomorrow morning", he said.
As everyone knows, the smell of onions, garlic and chillies lingers on , and on..and on
Coming from Andhra Pradesh his cuisine was the hottest I had ever tasted. Even if he had 20 people for lunch there was always enough left over. Tears streaming down their faces, guests would manage to eat just a mouthful and his Scots wife always stuck firmly to her own productions.The only others who joined him in heartfelt delight were people from the same state. Now I know they were hooked on the hot stuff.
Endorphins are released into the body when the brain responds to capsaicin, a chemical contained in the capsicum pod which causes them to be hot. When eaten the chemical which flows throught the veins of the capsicum pod is released into the mouth where nerve endings set off an alarm in the brain. The brain is conned into thinking the body is in distress and pain and immediately opens the sluice gates. The mouth and eyes water, the heartbeat increases, the nose begins to drip and the head perspires.
Most people in the grip of a chili high will express their satisfaction with an 'aaah' or an 'oooh' in a tone which is a cross between wonder and horror. An hour at the gym might give you the same high for a lot more effort.
I think eating chillies is seen to be a manly thing to do.Which is why they have names indicating that guts are required to ingest them. In India lots of hybrids have names like Sizzler, Firecracker,Torpedo, DaggerPod, Cobra etc etc, Perhaps salsa and chilli sauces have the same connotations of machoness ? I mean 'Death Sauce' ?' Radioactive-Atomic' pepper sauce ?
The heat of a chili is measured in Scoville Heat Units or SHU and capsicum ranges from 0 SHU ( Simla Mirch or Bell Peppers) to approximately 1000,000 SHU, the latter from a chilli called the Bhoot Jholakia (ghost chilli) or Raja Jholakia grown in Assam and Nagaland. It must be so hot as to shock the system and turn the eater into a "ghost". Since capsicum comes from the same family as the nightshade, a poisonous plant, I expect some of them are capable of killing.
For some time now I have been tracking the variety of chillies used in different regional cuisines and have identified several of them, just so that I can ask for them by name, to use in different dishes. Used in the right proportions, red chilli can enhance the taste of various ingredients. Too much and you can end up with mouth numbing food which, come to think of it, might be useful when you have a culinary disaster and a bunch of hungry people on hand.
Every state in India has its own special favourite but many chillies have become commonly accepted all over the country and are found in almost every mandi./ market.
The Kashmiri Mirchi is available in most general stores and is widely used for its colour.It is a deep maroon and is not very hot . One can always throw in a few more into a curry without noticeable effect. The sight of red chillies drying in the sun on the rooftops of thatched huts in Kashmir is a common one, and the flame of colour amidst the surrounding beige of the cropped and harvested rice fields is one that stays with me.
Another fairly common variety is the Bedgi of Byadagi chili which comes from the Hubli district in Karnataka. This looks wrinkled and shrivelled up, and had a deep red colour. It is a mild chilli. About 30,000 SHU .I love its smoky flavour which melts into a kind os sweetness when bitten into. Great as a vagar on Toor dal.
In a Goan curry one tends to use 70% bedgi and 30% Titimiti chillies.Titimiti is the Konkani name for these chillies and they are generally only available in Goa.They are a bright orange red , about an 1.5 " in length . They are responsible for the colour and taste of a true Goan prawn curry but are also used for a pork or chicken roast.
Aldona Double
Another nice Goan chilli is the black red Aldona mirchi of which there are two varieties , one double the width of the other, which is also used in roasts. Goan cuisine has many different varieties of chillies perhaps because of Portuguese influences.One chilli is actually called Portuguese chilli. The Konkani name is Tarvati.
A slim long chilli of about three inches in length it is also used in local dishes very often.
Maria Lobo ( at Fatima General Stores and Cold Storage , 834 Dastur Meher Road, Camp, Pune) makes a mouthwatering Vindaloo masala for her own use from Aldona, Kashmiri, Bedgi and Titimiti chillies which she brings from Goa. Ground to a powder which she adds to garam masala , ginger and garlic and Goa toddy vinegar, it makes a wonderful base for a pork or chicken curry as well as a Sorpotel. Rechead is basically the same red mirchi masala with the addition of an onion and sugar paste.
In Maharashtra, the Sankeshwari mirchi is used most commonly to make chilli powder, and along with the Bedgi and Kashmiri are about the only dried red chillies to be found in the market here. All of them are fairly mild ( except for the Sankeshwari) , which is a way of telling that Maharashtrian cuisine is not known for its heat levels. Sankeshwar being close to Kolhapur , plus the addition of the lavangi mirchi, is probably a reason why Kolhapuri food was always much much hotter than Pune food! Sankeshwari chilly has a bright orange colour and local people use this powder fairly generously when short of other expensive masalas.
I got hold of some Double Resham Patti chillies recently.They are mild and are wonderful for stuffing for achaar.This is well known in the North and some friends use it in Thai dishes as it approximates Thai chiilies.
Guntur or Andhra Chillies are obviously hot and are grown in Warangal, Khamam and Guntur disricts of Andhra Pradesh. They are popular outside the state in other cuisines as well for their aroma and heat level. And India being the largest exporter of chillies they are obviously popular elsewhere. Here is a hot recipe for Guntur chillies with Mango -
Mango Mirch Masala
- 6 mangoes,Banganpalli or Imam Pasand
- 4 tsps Gur /Jaggery
- 1 tsp salt
Grind the following ingredients:
- 1 tsp rai /mustard seed
- 1/4 tsp haldi / turmeric
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 1 pepper corn
- 10 Guntur red chillies
- 1/2 onion
- 1/2 tsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 4 cloves of garlic , mashed in a mortar.
Wash and peel the mangoes.Lightly mash them leaving some flesh on the seeds.
Add the ground paste to the mangoes. Bring to the boil and let the mixture cook on medium heat till the mangoes are well done. About 20 minutes. Remove the seeds from the dish and set aside.. Heat coconut oil and fry the mustard seeds and garlic. As the mustard seeds pop and the garlic become slightly golden, pour over the mango chilli mixture. Serve hot with brown rice.
More about chillies will be posted soon as there are so many more different varieties from this part of the world a nd I can't possibly cover them all here.
Now here's a contest.
Mystery mirchi
Can anyone tell me the name of this midget of a mirchi.
Size of Mystery Mirchi
It is about 1 cm in length and varies in colour from red to ecru when dried.It is used in chewda's and snacks and it is very,very hot.
The winner will receive a bottle of the hottest pickle ever. An Andhra pickle ofcourse.

Ok y'all….
I've just wasted an hour and a half. Google searching. Youtube searching. Searching in Insta-FB groups. To no avail.
Finally, some tapping here and there and freakin everywhere and I THINK I've got it. Since all of the answers provided on this subject that I found were either terribly outdated (even from Instagram's help center!) I thought I'd write a little posty post about it.
So, here goes.
I have a personal facebook page and also a few business pages. I wanted to link my @PhotographerHack Instagram account to my Photographer Hack Facebook business page. (I actually want to share posts to it easily, instead of having to manage both accounts – I'm on Instagram more than FB and I felt like some posts would have overlap.)
But every time I'd click the gear icon in the upper right corner of my account screen, scroll down to Settings and then tap on Linked Accounts, I'd tap Facebook, and it would say, "You are already Authorized" or something like that.
There was no option to unlink them. I played around on my FB business page forever.
Here's what worked!
- First, under the gear icon's "Options" (just above where I was tapping on Linked Accounts) I tapped Switch to a Business Profile. Which I really didn't want to do….but you kinda HAVE to do this in order to link an instagram account to a Facebook business page. Makes sense, I guess.
- Then, I tapped the blue bar to Continue.
- Then it linked up my personal FB account – which again – I didn't want, but THEN….It displayed for me a list of FB pages that I manage. YES. Thank you, Lord.
- I tapped on the FB Biz page I wanted, in this case, PhotographerHack. Then, tapped Next. Then, it wanted to set up my business profile.
- I only input my email address – I felt like my phone number and location were unnecessary for this. But if you're a local business, like a photography business, for example, definitely at least put in your location.
Voila! Now, when I click on Linked Accounts, it does indeed show the correct business page linked to my business Instagram account. Not my personal FB account.
Yes, you'll need to switch to the business account for this, and there's much hullabaloo on if that's a good idea or not. But since I am considering running Insta-ads in the future, might as well take the plunge. I'm hoping to get genuine engagement from my own engagement with my community.
Ok, wait. Hold the phone. AFTER I wrote this and then I tested it (whoopsie) even though everything SAID it was linked to my business Facebook account, it even listed the name of my facebook business account – the posts were STILL ending up on my personal timeline! Ugh.
Ok, more googling. I saw a thread where someone said that you needed to open up your Safari web browser on your phone and log out of Facebook. I did that. Just for good measure, I went ahead and deleted the FB app from my phone. Again, I switched from a business IG account to personal.
Then….I switched to a Business IG account. Linked the business FB page to it. Tried a post – and THANK THE LORD ALMIGHTY – it actually posted to my business FB account!!!!!!
So, the moral of the story, is that you have to logout completely of FB. There must be some cookie or something that keeps that link to the personal FB account. If you log out entirely, hopefully this will work for you.
Don't worry, folks….I reinstalled the FB app and all is still working just fine…

The prompt for today is "the best part of my day is ....."
As I was thinking about this, I wondered:
Maybe the best part of my day is when I put my baby girl down for a nap, make a cup of coffee and go outside in the fresh air. I spend five or ten minutes just wandering through my garden, observing the way the seasons change the flowers, the vegetables and the trees one minuscule bit each day. I look up at the peppermint trees swaying the breeze, see the willy wagtails hopping from twig to twig and marvel at how enormous our lettuce and broccoli have become. It's like a mini meditation every morning.
And then I thought:
Maybe the best part of my day is when I finally get the chance to have a shower and, if I am especially lucky, my partner will be home to look after our baby and I can even have that shower all to myself. We both joke that we each feel like we've been on a holiday after we've had a shower all alone without anyone banging on the door or barging in unannounced. For some reason, under the water, five meters away from the chaos of everyday life, but five hundred miles away from it all in my head, I am able to think my clearest thoughts and rationalise some of my biggest problems.
And then I thought:
No, maybe the best part of my day is right at the very end, when my children are in bed and I go outside and sit in the silence with a
But then I realised:
Yes, all these moment in my day are beautiful and essential for my mental health, but none of them are the best part of my day.
Because the best part of my day is when my baby girl first wakes up in the morning and smiles huge wide-mouth smiles at me and crawls all over me, blowing raspberries on my cheeks - her way of giving kisses. Of all the times of the day, she is happiest in these first moments of the morning, when she wakes up beside me and coos and laughs and gurgles and sings, in that precious uninhabited way that babies sing. No matter how tired I am, when I open my eyes and the first thing I see is her smile, I can't help but feel ridiculously happy.
Yes, that is definitely the best part of my day.

'People don't resist change. They resist being changed.'
I offer consulting to help your large organisation to understand, reach and connect with its people through change. It is possible to grow and modernise without cynicism, alienation and waste.
I also offer coaching that will help you to prosper in a volatile modern workplace. You will see benefits in leadership, presence, insight, envisioning and strategising, both for your teams and for yourself.
The modern workplace is undergoing convulsive change at every level while offering ever better ways for us to be cut off from each other by the technology we use to stay in touch. On the surface things seem to happen more and more quickly, building demand for new things done in new ways and the expectation that change will be easy and immediate.
Change is the very opposite of that; mediated, reluctant, resisted. The only sure way to evolve an organisation is to let your people drive the change, and the art of that is to make their desires the same as yours, which ultimately means that yours have to be the same as theirs. This requires tact, patience and an enduring willingness to understand.
The technologically interconnected workplace is isolating and alienating; everyone is adrift and unless you can help them to feel attended to and understood they begin to detach themselves from your mission and focus on survival, just as you are tempted to do yourself. Knowledge and expertise start to seep out of your organisation leaving a shell of newly-recruited transient, or weary oldtimer, cynics.
That's an unhappy place to be.
It is tempting to deploy a magical technical solution, and wave some jazz hands around, declare victory (or failure) too early, then move on to the next problem. It seems logical and sensible at the time.
But please don't.
It takes only a little more effort, taking a moment to pause and look at things differently, to deploy a humanely considered mostly-technical solution that actually makes things work better and people more inclined to show up, connect with each other, and bring about a change together.
[The quote in the headline is from Peter Senge.]

John 1:1-13
"…10 He came into the very world He created, but the world didn't recognize Him. 11 He came to His own people, and even they rejected Him."
As I read this very familiar passage today I found myself wondering if Jesus showed up today, would we recognize Him?
I mean Jesus, showed up in Israel 2000 years ago and was something completely different than the religious folks were expecting, so who are we to think we'd be any different? Historically we religious folks talk an awful lot about becoming like Jesus, but I think we, like the Jewish leaders of Jesus' time, often put more effort into making Jesus look like us than the other way around.
In reality, if Jesus of Nazareth showed up in one of our churches next Sunday morning He probably would be an oddball. He'd most likely be wearing worn jeans and work boots (He was a construction worker, you know), He wouldn't be nearly as enamored with our wonderful church buildings as we are, and He'd probably also have a much different take on many of the theological doctrines we take for granted.
He'd be a guy who had probably been out at the bar or a party the night before and was probably hanging out with a bunch of other people that would never even darken our churches' doorstep and, in all honesty, may not be very welcome in many of those churches if they did come.
It's my hope that I come to know this Jesus, the REAL Jesus, so well in this life that when I finally do see Him face to face that our meeting is like two old friends coming together in a tearful reunion after a long separation.
That when I see Him I will know immediately, "Yep, that's Him! I'd recognize Him anywhere!"
It is my greatest desire to know Jesus in this way, and I hope it is yours, too.

Friday, February 05, 2010Thinking about Google's Chrome OS and Similar Offerings
So how about Google's Chrome OS? Interesting idea, isn't it? (Although not very original and certainly not something Google invented). Create a device with a closed OS that launches straight into the browser as a pure web device. A solid state drive will make booting a very fast operation. No software installs mean no hassles (at least in theory). One is always online anyway, or so the theory goes, so why ever install a rich client app?
For many users, this may be pretty close to the truth. However, and that much is clear, HTML apps are not really great apps. From a UI design point-of-view, they outright suck. Sure, we have come a long way in making HTML UIs better, and we sure are pushing the limits with AJAX and advanced client-side scripting, but at the end of the day, we are still stuck in a fairly outdated world of HTML that was never all that great, even when it was new. Even simple Windows UIs often provide much better user experiences, and they are much less labor intensive to build. But I digress.
So for many scenarios, users will be happy with web browsers, but at the same time, they are losing the ability to do anything on their machines. No Word documents to create, no Outlook, no games to play. Will users really be happy using Google docs and Outlook Web Access? Personally, I know I wouldn't. Nobody I know would. But then maybe I just don't know the right people. I am sure some people really value not having to install anything as it also brings the benefit of not accidently installing viruses locally. (Although Facebook shows that viruses and other malware can also make it into online offerings, and Chrome OS won't be immune to those sort of attacks either. And neither will any other system for that matter. Take that, Mac!).
I really do wonder about the user experience though. I can't see myself using just HTML-based apps. Sure, HTML may improve. After all, HTML5 is on the horizon and there is hope of adoption of those new features. Especially on Google's side (who is behind HTML5, after all). Although in general, pushing a new HTML standard is a very difficult undertaking, as there simply is no way to force all the clients to update (which now include anything from Windows machines to mobile devices such as phones and Kindles). So it will be a very long time before HTML5 really becomes significant. And "oh by the way", how are you going to get a new browser with HTML5 support onto your Chrome OS Netbook? Well, there will be some update ability, which weakens the "no install" story considerably. How much you can update the OS and its components (such as the browser) will probably depend on the OS vendor (as Google is not the only one playing in this market), but the situation is clear: Either you allow (update) installs and are more susceptible to security problems (with a weaker advantage on the maintenance side), or you can't update, turning the machine into a brick every time something new is coming out. (Perhaps with the ability to re-flash the device at the original vendor, similar to the situation with some phones today).
Of course the no-install-story also means very poor support for technologies like Silverlight and Flash. After all, how are you going to get that technology on your device, and how are you updating it? And forget about running any offline apps, no matter how great those features are in Silverlight 3 and 4!
One of the biggest question in terms of Google's success with the Chrome OS is "how will they build customer affinity"? If you are a Windows user, you identify with that OS. Same if you are a Mac user. Your next PC is likely going to be a Windows or Mac PC again, unless you have a really good reason to abandon that platform and your investment in it. If you are a pure web-OS user on the other hand, then who cares what OS you are using? You might go from Chrome OS to some other vendor of a web-OS. You will probably hardly know the difference. Or you might go to Mac or Windows as you grow tired of not having a strong offline story. Anything that installs on the client ties the user to that platform. If it wasn't for all the apps, I might have long tried a phone other than the iPhone again (as there are now offerings with similar feature sets to the original iPhone), but the apps keep me there. "What if there isn't an equivalent of Shazzam"? I often think. Substitute the app(s) of your choice. You get the idea.
If you have something client-specific, you care about the client. Otherwise, clients become interchangeable, which is bad news if you are the company invested in creating the client technology/device.
Frankly, even if Google's idea with the web-OS flies, I would have much higher hopes for someone like Apple to capitalize on it. After all, Google is an advertisement company, not a tech company.
What about Microsoft? Could they compete in this arena? Fundamentally, yes. In fact, I think Microsoft is in a great position to re-purpose some if its OS assets in combination with Internet Explorer and put that into a scale-down version, perhaps with some rich-client capabilities (and Silverlight pre-installed). In short: Microsoft would be great to put out a very competitive offering that is much superior to whatever Google and (hypothetically) Apple could put out. Whether that will happen is a completely different story however. After all MS' track record in the mobile device arena is plastered with unrealized potential…
Thursday, February 04, 2010Social Media Pet Peeves
I like social media. I think especially Facebook and Twitter is the way to go and for individuals and businesses, it is as important to establish a meaningful presence on these sites as it was in 1998 to have a web site. I also like other social media outlets such as Xbox Live. I have tons of friends and I care about what they do. I am also interested in tons of businesses and products and want to be connected with them, but I'd never have the time to go out of my way to visit their web sites all the time.
There are some things people do on these sites however, that drive me nuts. Here is a list of my top gripes:
Well, that's the short list anyway. I could go on and on. What are your social media pet peeves?

Since the time I completed this post on Disruptive Power and Intersections, it continues to receive attention. It is by far the most effective component of any Future Thinking effort. Given the continued traffic to this two year old post, I am updating with current content. By way of reminder, the anchor emerging futures visual is available via this PDF. An expansion of the science and technology foundation is visualized via this PDF. The visual below connects the intersections of 8 combinatorial scenarios. This is not an exhaustive set of connections; it is strictly intended to describe the scenarios at a high level. This visual can be downloaded via this PDF.
Internet of Things
Artificial Intelligence Intersects With the Internet of Things
In his ninth post in the series, Marshall Kirkpatrick focuses on the intersection between artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things. By way of reminder, Marshall launched a 30 day series that explores the intersection between AI and the various innovation components on my emerging futures visual.
Artificial Intelligence Intersects with Fintech
In his third post in the series, Marshall Kirkpatrick focuses on the intersection between artificial intelligence and Fintech. By way of reminder, Marshall launched a 30 day series that explores the intersection between AI and various future scenarios anchored by my emerging futures visual.
Internet of Things: Economic Benefit and Challenges Lie Ahead
On June 15th, I participated in an Internet of Things Webcast with CA Technologies. A replay of the event can be found here. The abstract for the session read as follows.
In just a few short years, we've moved from being a web-economy to an application economy. One of the underlying reasons are thousands of new Internet of Things (IoT) applications, from manufacturing sensors to medical devices, automobiles to homes. Industry experts predict IoT has the potential for an economic benefit of up to $6.2 trillion by 2025. Are you ready to address the fast-approaching era of hyper-connectivity and voluminous data with your business networks? Do you have a strategy to turn your IoT into sustainable growth opportunities? Do you have the visibility to ensure your network can support these new applications and the flood of data that comes with them?
Join Frank Diana, Futurist and Digital Transformer with Tata Consultancy Services, to learn the new meaning of having an IoT-connected business in the future. He will be joined by Bernard Clairmont, Presales Consultant with CA Technologies, to explain the importance of having a sophisticated network performance management and diagnostic solution to be ready for the future of connectedness.
Like so many emerging innovation accelerators, the Internet of Things will be massively transformative. The time to act is now.
Next Generation Productivity
In a recent post, I focused on a series of emerging shifts and the transformation pillars that enable a re-imagined future. In this post, I will dive into one of those pillars: next generation productivity. According to Wikipedia, productivity is an average measure of the efficiency of production. It can be expressed as the ratio of output to inputs used in the production process. In a recent Citi Report, they describe the significant slowing of labor productivity growth, which drives a focus on next generation gains. But In spite of technological progress and innovation, measured productivity growth is low by historical comparison. They cite these growth statistics across advanced economies.
The Future of the Future with Game Changers
I participated today in a new SAP sponsored thought leadership series titled the Future of the Future. Here is a snippet from the opening talking points:
The buzz: Wow! McKinsey estimates the 2025 potential annual economic impact of the Internet of Things at $11 trillion, 11% of the world economy.
The rebroadcast of the radio show is now available.
Source: The Future of the Future with Game Changers, Presented by SAP | VoiceAmerica™
A deeper dive into the world of the Internet of Things can be found here.
IoT: Unleashing the Mother of all Infrastructures
On a January 26th Game Changers Radio show, a panel of Futurists will focus on the Internet of Things (IoT) and its world changing implications. Here are some of my thoughts in advance of that discussion. I'll start with a quote from Carl Bildt, Chair of the Global Commission on Internet Governance and a member of the World Economic Forum's Global Agenda Council on Europe:
"Very soon the Internet of Things will become the Infrastructure on which all other infrastructures are based."
That bold statement supports thinking in some circles that a General Purpose Technology Platform (GPT) is emerging, the foundation of which is The Internet of Things. This emerging GPT likely alters our world more dramatically than the GPTs of the first and second Industrial Revolutions:

Korvapuusti translates as 'slapped ears'. I can only guess it has to do with the swirls at the side of these cardamon and cinnamon buns. They're more doughy and less sweet than American style buns, but really yummy.
Our Sunday didn't start in search of cinnamon rolls, it started with mowing the grass and cleaning the house. I've fallen a bit behind with things as Bump and I had a bit of a bug earlier in the week and then I put my back out on Thursday lifting my not-so-little daughter, so my usual cleaning routine had fallen by the wayside. I hate doing it, so it wasn't difficult to just ignore the mess, but I definitely see the benefit of doing something everyday, so will try and get back on the horse again today.
So once the house and garden was once again pretty much put to rights, we decided we needed a late lunch and I couldn't be bothered to cook. So the Chief hit the net in an attempt to find somewhere to enjoy the last of the weekend sun. We ended up at Villa Ullas in Vuosaari - only ten minutes by car. It's a small cafe right on the sea, next to a small and safe beach surrounded by a lovely park.
It's also the home of the biggest and loveliest korvapuusti I've had since being here. We were a bit late for lunch so most of the sandwiches were gone but we managed to get the Weans to eat something before handing them cinnamon rolls bigger than their faces.
Needless to say they were a hit.
We then wandered over to see the ducks at a little jetty and then over to the beach for a splash before the sun slipped behind the clouds and trees. A wonderful end to a too short weekend (we'll ignore the stubborn strop as I tried to convince Bump to walk back to the car, for the purposes of maintaining the idyll).

The best place to take the oil is under the tongue, holding it there for 30sec before swallowing. If you have localized pain, you can mix a few drops of the oil with a lotion and rub it on the affected area as well. Please click here for how to take a tincture.

"I think I fell in love with you, Onii-san..."
Tanaka is your average salaryman, who's never had a girlfriend. One night, as he's walking through a park on his way home, he's about to get assaulted when a young punk named Kira comes to his rescue. Tanaka wants to thank the young man for saving him, but Kira only wants compensation...from his body!
Shocked to have been robbed of his first time, Tanaka wants to forget it all, but Kira seems to have taken a liking to him and waits for him every night on his path home, like a dog waiting for its master... Will the lamb let it itself be moved by the wolf?

Richard I died from an infection at the age of 42 after being poorly treated for a crossbow wound during a siege of a French castle.
Philippe Charlier, who previously helped dispel claims that Napoleon was poisoned to death by his British captors, has been given exclusive access to a tiny sample of the heart of the crusading English king
King Richard, famed for his bravery, brutality and bad temper, ruled England from 1189 to his death in 1199.
Dubbed the "Indiana Jones of the graveyards" by the French media, Mr Charlier is using a variety of forensic methods to try to work out what type of bacteria killed him and the embalming techniques of the time.
The scientist and his team have already determined that Vatican-authenticated bone fragments said to have come from Joan of Arc were in fact from a cat and an Egyptian mummy and that a mummified heart came from the uncrowned boy king Louis XVII.
Another coup was to reveal that Diane de Poitiers, the favourite mistress of France's 16th century King Henri II was poisoned to death by the gold elixir she believed would keep her eternally young.
More recently, he identified a mummified head unearthed by an antiques dealer as belonging to Henri IV, the revered French king who died 400 years ago.
Now he is homing in on tiny dust fragments of King Richard's heart, housed for centuries in the Gothic cathedral of Rouen, northern France and saved from marauding revolutionaries.
He is confident that a battery of chemical tests on just "one or two milligrams" of the precious remains – only one per cent of the Rouen relic – will be enough to provide conclusive results, likely to be unveiled in the next three months.
"It is a forensic challenge. We want to get the maximum information from the smallest possible sample," Mr Charlier told the Parisien daily.
He hopes to reveal details on 12th-century embalming, then practised by barbers or even cooks, and perhaps identify the germ that killed the warrior-king, thought to have died of septicaemia.
Initial tests uncovered the presence of human cells, as well as "vegetable, mineral and metal elements".
Caroline Dorion-Peyronnet, curator of Rouen's antiquities museum, said she had refused numerous requests for samples by Britons seeking to establish family links to the defunct monarch, but agreed to Mr Charlier's request as there would be "no DNA tests".
Long loved in England as a pious, brave and highly cultured leader, King Richard is described by historians as brutal, religiously intolerant and unable to control his temper.
He led the Third Crusade of the Christian world against Muslims who had captured Jerusalem in the 12th century but was unable to take the city after feuding with his allies. He died after a crossbow bolt pierced his shoulder during a siege of the castle of Chalus-Chabrol in the Limousin region.

I paused tonight instead of lashing out at someone who had hurt me. Instead of texting the person what an ass I thought they were, I called another alcoholic and shared with her what was bothering me - and even though she completely understood and empathized with me her advice was not to call the person and sock it to them - her advice was to put it in my God Box.
Sometimes all it takes is someone really understanding where you are coming from to move pass a situation. I am grateful for the wonderful people in my life that pick up their phones!

A Motherwell school has been presented with £25,000 for a brand new minibus thanks to workers 400 miles away in Shetland.
They raised money for Bothwellpark High to salute a terminally ill colleague - and it all began with a humble raffle.
At Christmas Shetland Gas Plant employee Claire Coen, who has a sister at the school, organised a 50/50 draw with colleagues.
Around £600 was to go to the school to help its efforts to buy a minibus and draw winner Dave Coleman gave Bothwellpark his cash prize too.
Earlier this year Dave was diagnosed with cancer and given just six months to live.
His colleagues wanted to raise money for him, but he told them to give it to the school instead.
Four months of intense fundraising followed including raffles, football cards, a hair-a-thon, weight loss challenges, personal donations and a social evening attended by ex-footballers Frank McAvennie, Andy Goram and Alan Rough and comedian Eric Davidson.
The employees raised £24,500, enough to buy a new minibus that will be named the Dave Coleman Express.
Bothwellpark headteacher Maria Neill said: "We use our bus every day and it is also used by the wider community, but it is starting to show its age.
"The last time we needed a new bus the fundraising took years until the Variety Club stepped in to help.
"To say I am overwhelmed that, thanks to Shetland Gas Plant and Dave Coleman, we have reached our target in just five months is an understatement. We cannot thank them enough."
Claire and colleague Archie Cairney visited the school to present the money.
Claire said: "We were so inspired by Dave's generosity that we were determined to get Bothwellpark its bus.
"The fundraising involved a lot of hard work, but the the generosity was unbelievable.
"It is an excellent feeling to be able to give the school this money and we hope to have Dave with us to present the bus soon."
