Team Rubber managed to get the top score for Korean Lazer Ball (woooot) – I think there was some bad feeling about their performance last year and so they have been swotting up since…..

However, I could quite happily while away the hours with a book in this bog:

Yesterday I attended the Web Developer Conference, an event organised for students of the Web Design degree course at the University of West England. The attendees where split roughly 50/50 between students and professionals from and around Bristol.

Of all the talks, I especially enjoyed ‘Designing for hyper-connectivity’ presented by James Box,  not least because he mentioned Lost within a few minutes of beginning! His talk centred around hyperconnectivity and how we make sense of The Web of Data that we have access to and how we make that data meaningful. The themes he touched on made me think of a conversation I had with Tom Abba a few weeks back whereby he spoke about the progression of Data to give it meaning. I will illustrate it below:

A example of this model working in a TR project would be Consultations – Delib do online opinion research and public consultation that will involve targeted audiences (data) giving responses (information) and help organisations make informed decisions (knowledge =resulting in= wisdom).

Things I learnt:

Cursebird – a twitter swear searching api.

programableweb.com – online repository of api’s.

yahoo pipes – pipes.yahoo.com, an application that aids in the drawing and syndicating of information from the internet, like mashups but with a swish drag and drop interface.

Outside it’s lush, inside however it’s pretty average with an unnamed AMD 64 chipset, 2GB of RAM and a 160GB hard drive with a 12.1″ display. 

At $20k i wont be getting it in the near future, but it is something that would be perfect for tapping away on in a Starbucks with a skinny mocha light frappachino.
