[The Forgotten Milk] Firewire audio interface for Mac Geeks

So what you desire out of a FireWire audio interface for the Mac is really a device that is very small, bus powered, gives you at the least two inputs and is fairly priced. Enter the Apogee Duet (the Duet moniker is supposed to clue you in to how it is a dual-input interface). What [...]

"Twenty To Midnight doll with one of a kind tattoos is going up for auction on Monday, September 5th, 2011.
Twenty to Midnight was shown in London and originally had a sculptural bronze wig, but I had decided to use the wig in another project (to be unveiled in a few months) and put this doll up for auction with 4 new mohair wigs instead. This Flame Red wig is one of them.

I'm so sorry. I couldn't resist. There are just so many grape gags.
I use the word 'gag' loosely.
Told you I had taken too many photos of grapes. If it hadn't been so early, I might have composed this into a more tidy pile. I mean, that lone grape is just annoying. Too lazy to clone it all out though.

[Digg] Google in talks with major studios to rent movies via YouTube
http://digg.com/news/technology/google_in_talks_with_major_studios_to_rent_movies_via_youtube

The Financial Times is reporting that Google is in talks with major Hollywood studios to bring streaming movie rentals from their catalogs to YouTube by the end of the year. Citing multiple sources with knowledge of the plans, the FT claims that the YouTube on-demand video service will probably launch first in the US, and will offer movies, simultaneous with the DVD release, for about $5.
The movies won't be downloadable, so you'll need a live Internet connection to watch them. But the lack of a download capability isn't as big of a deal as you might think at first. The recently launched Google TV platform, which brings YouTube directly to Internet-connected televisions, presumes a constant Internet connection, so the rumored streaming rental model is a perfect fit for it.
Unbeknownst to most users, YouTube has actually been offering streaming movie rentals from a number of smaller studios since January.

The service hit 2.6 million users on August 2, up from 725,000 in March. The launch of Facebook Places, which many thought would bring about the startup's demise, instead resulted in the biggest day of signups ever, CEO Dennis Crowley recently revealed.Given that Foursquare appears to have a little more than 3.02 million users now, we can determine that it is growing by more than 15,500 users per day [...]

[Digg] Digg v4: release, iterate, repeat.
http://digg.com/news/worldnews/kevin_rose_blogg_digg_v4_release_iterate_repeat_6

At Digg it's our job to try new things, analyze the usage data, iterate, and evolve. While not everyone is happy w/the new design, as of right now the usage looks extremely good (ie. more people registering (43,000+ new users yesterday), digging, consuming, clicking, following, etc.). Our top priority is to stabilize the site, then we'll look at the data/feedback and make decisions on what to change going forward.
That said, I want to address some of the common concerns I've seen dug up.
The upcoming section is gone.Out of 200+ Million pageviews in July, only 0.4% was from upcoming (yes, that's less than 1/2 of a percent). I definitely see the fun behind wanting to see stories just before they jump, so we'll add a view of upcoming popular stories soon.
Mainstream outlets and power users have been given more power over the front page.All diggs are still equal, nothing has changed there. Our directory of recommended users will eventually open to the entire world.

[Digg] Windows Live Sync now Mesh; online storage strategy still a mess
http://digg.com/news/technology/windows_live_sync_now_mesh_online_storage_strategy_still_a_mess

Microsoft has renamed Windows Live Sync to Windows Live Mesh. Redmond often rebrands its Windows Live products, but there is more to today's announcement. We'll explain what Microsoft is doing well, what it's not doing, and why its strategy is flawed.
Windows Live Mesh will support syncing hidden files and will show a list of files that might be missing in a synced folder. Complaints that 2GB is an insufficient amount of storage have resulted in 5GB being the cloud storage limit again. Microsoft has also been working on cutting the application load time in half, speeding up syncing large numbers of folders or adding multiple devices to a sync folder, and optimizing memory and CPU usage during sync activity as well as when idle.
Windows Live Mesh has had two previous names. Microsoft bought FolderShare from ByteTaxi in November 2005, and released it in March 2008, renaming it toWindows Live Syncin December 2008.

[Digg] 7 Stories About Women Heroes in Tech - Please Send Us More
http://digg.com/news/technology/7_stories_about_women_heroes_in_tech_please_send_us_more

The technology press is full of stories of heroic men. In the startup economy, they often take the form of brave men who quit steady day jobs to join crazy startups. That's an inspiring kind of story; I wrote about Louis Gray doing that earlier this week and really enjoyed sharing his news.
But what about women who make that kind of leap? There needs to be more stories told like that. I put out a call on Twitter and Claire Cain Miller of the New York Times said she too wants to tell more stories about brave women in technology. We live in an incredible time of cultural, economic and political change made possible by changing technology. That technology is being driven in many cases by women - so whose stories would you suggest write about here on this blog?

Each computer wire is situated in a closed loop system that interacts with all the other systems within the dress. Movement within one system influences other parts of the whole.

[Blogging Mill] SNS中管理员的角色定位
一个微不足道的用户是如此苍白,一个他,倒底算什么呢。记得我用某图片社区时,图片在稳私保护之下也被管理员一一清空;某社区一句"人肉之",恐吓用户的也是管理员。
然,社区正是由无数个微不足道的用户组成的,屏蔽一个小用户也许没什么,可如果屏蔽一个UGC大户,肯定会卷起喧然大波。事实上也没有社区敢这么干的。
静下心来,不妨思考一下SNS中管理员角色定位问题。
太有个性的人不能胜任管理员,他会把强烈的个人色彩驽架于用户之上。有些话做为个人来说也许没什么,但是做为管理员,很容易引起用户的情绪矛盾。有个性没什么,谁会没有一点个性呢。不喜就无视之,大度一些有何不可。
没个性的管理员也不行,他不能正确引导社区向既定的方向发展,用户说什么就是什么,跟着用户的鼻子走,没有主见是向来不受待见的。事实上,一些受用户喜欢的社区往往带有浓郁的管理员个人色彩。
另外,换一个角度思考,如今还有没有必要存在管理员这个角色。SNS是靠用户之间的好友关系聚集起来的,这是一种自然的结果,无需外力加以干涉。管理员总不能将所有人都加为好友吧,起码违反了"保护用户隐私"这一条准则。或者说,好的社区中最好的结果是让用户感觉不到管理员的存在,让用户觉得自己拥有这个关系网,不会感到背后有双眼睛在无时无刻盯着他们。
虽是这样说,许多社区在初始时是由于创始人个人的魅力吸引人们前去注册使用的,有很多理由让他们无法拒绝新用户的好友请求,这让他们成为了社区的公众人物和形象人物,自然而然被大多数人理解成"管理员"。过去你可以肆无忌惮地说一些混帐话,现在你可以再试试看,呵呵,借你俩胆试试。
不过,如果你拿一套facebook或康盛的代码做一个个人或小人群的SNS,然后按照你的一惯做法去管理,想骂谁就骂谁,想删谁就删谁,这也是没有问题的。因为大家都明白这是你的地盘,来这里必须要按你的规矩办事。
总之,如何把握,智者见智,仁者见仁。但有一点,不能也千万不要让用户感到"管理员"有凌驾于用户之上的至高无上的权力。毕竟BBS的那一套不适合SNS,咱也不兴玩这一套。

而SNS是靠用户之间的好友关系聚集起来的,每天在社区中能够阅读到的是什么信息完全取决于你加的好友是什么样的人。有很多人说某社区IT氛围重,我没有这样的感觉,为什么?因为我的好友大都是很感性的人,交流的大多是生活中的家长里短、趣事囧事。
如今的社区是掌握在你手中,你是一个人什么样的人,自然身边会聚集什么样的朋友。所以当你感觉周围的气氛开始变得怪异时,不妨检视一下好友关系,是不是该剔出那些所谓的大牛、小妞什么的。
我们所处的这个时代是浮噪的,注定会有更多形形色色、光怪陆离的人,社区也是如此。很多人问,请告诉我什么是真人社区。我的答案是,真人社区需要你更加谨慎加好友,再好的隐私保护措施也敌不过你滥交带来的后果。
注:
我不代表任何社区官方,也没有将责任推给个人的意图,只是理性的分析这个问题。况且各个社区在隐私保护上也都正在进行更好的完善,即使在那些保护措施已经完备的情况下,也需要我们谨慎处理好友关系,我想这一点大家都能明白。
从技术上讲,分级、多重的隐私保护会带给系统严重的性能损耗,不是不能做,而是需要慢慢来,不是每家公司都拥有Google、facebook卓越的性能技术,更何况Google、facebook的隐私保护也是如此遭人非议。社区在努力,每个人也都在努力!
混沌状态的社区
SNS更接近于自然界中的混沌现象,人际间的关系异常复杂,却总有千丝万缕保持着联系。由于自相似分形的奇妙过程,以每个人为圆点汇集了多个自然团体,这些团体之间又拥有交叉。这是个自然的过程,没有外力相左右,靠的是每个人之间的相似点、吸引力,最后形成的结果是每个人都能很舒适地处在由他自己组织的团体之中。但是,两个矛盾个体相碰撞时,却都没有谨慎或是拒绝的意图,其结果当然是两个人都不自在。
还要注意到自然界中的蝴蝶效应。想必大家都看过蝴蝶效应那部片子,一件微不足道的小事足以引发难以弥补的灾难。社区中一个闪光的想法可以煸动整个社区为你沸腾;同样,一个不合时宜的言语也能带来排山倒海的口诛笔伐。一件小事为你带来好处时当然会感到欣喜,但如果会带给你无尽的灾难的话,我们应该提前把这种灾难的可能性降为最小。妥善处理好友关系在我看来是上上之选,当风雨来临时,自然会有好友为你遮挡,不是么?
社区只是一个借口
有才华的人(当然我不是)不会在乎平台能够提供给你什么,相反的他们会利用这些有限的功能创造出花样百出的交流方式,只要他们喜欢。换句话说,他们不会在乎是在豆瓣、twitter,还是海内,甚至只是简陋的BBS。
问题的关键在于,在某个平台上你是否能够找到和你情投意合的朋友们。一旦这种好友关系固化,社区真正的威力才会显现。我是饭否早期入驻的用户,经过长时间的交流已经深深粘在这里。后来叽歪de的发展也很好,提供了类似Tag和主题性交流,但这时候我搬过去几乎是不可能的,我的唠叨对象和倾听对象都在饭否,搬到叽歪de会失去强烈的归属感。相应的,叽歪de的重度用户也会有同样的感受。
所以,在我眼里,不存在哪个社区好不好的问题,而是这里能不能找到开开心心一起玩的伙伴。
就这。

[Cats Planet] 点名
小时候,
奶奶总是把我们弟兄四个的名字叫来叫去,
"老大,老二,小三,小四。"
其实,
她只是想叫我而已。
自从我有了三个宝贝,
"椰子,萌萌,木头。"
其实,
我也就是想叫木头而已。
就像是每天的点名,
成习惯了,
改都改不了 :O)

[Cats Planet] 有一种爱叫溺爱
对于小女儿萌萌,
"萌萌的每一滴眼泪都会化做一粒珍珠。"
那是三年前我对萌萌说的话,
可见我对她的感情。
渐渐地,这种感情不知不觉演变成一种溺爱。
椰子最聪明,
家里最先学会开柜子门的是她,
接着她手把手教会了弟弟妹妹;
然后她又学会了开床柜抽屉,
害得我每次只好做出叮叮当当要开罐头的响声来引诱她出来。
贪吃的小木头在旁边看了几回,
趁我不注意也要进床柜,不顾我看着他用尽吃奶劲儿把肥胖的身体往里挤我是那样心疼。
尽管如此,我还是比较心慰,
还有萌萌让我放心,
乖乖女就是乖乖女,
绝对不会让老爹我失望的。
从昨晚到今天中午没有看到萌萌的踪迹了,
找遍了家里的边边角角,
"萌萌,乖女儿,你在哪,快出来噢。"
唯一,我最不希望的地方就是那里 [...]

[Cats Planet] Birthday Party:一木四岁
美美地看完《魔幻精灵奇遇记》,
在回家的公车上又美美地睡了一小觉,
梦里美丽的精灵们和我一起玩耍,
角落里我窥见它们一个个脱去精灵的衣服,
呀,是我们可爱的孩子们!
今天是小王子木头四岁生日,
生日礼物一定是要送给小木头的,
不然这小家伙会埋怨我这个老爹的。
咦,这是什么东东,长得稀奇古怪的。
左一粉拳!
萌萌姐也想来玩,好吧,萌萌姐,我耍给你看噢。
玩具被椰子姐和萌萌姐霸占鸟,那是我的,是老爹送给我的!

[Blogging Mill] 短评:隐私与不良的悖论
在国内的互联网网站流行一个条例:帐号信息如有不雅内容将予以删除帐号,云云。
而在网站的隐私设置有一条设置:只有自己或朋友好友看到个人信息。按常理,如此非我族类无法看我的信息,更不知其是烈女或是淫娃。
然,前些日子在某图片社区的经历让我惊呆,上传的图片顷刻间荡然无存,请不要误会我,我还是比较纯洁的,只不过上传了非原创的图片。能够得到的结论就是,在既有隐私设置的条件下,存在超级管理员能够跨越一切隐私保护,赤裸裸的看你的信息。想到这里,不想脊背发凉。
叹:有多少无聊的技术人员会在后台看你设置成隐私的图片呢,这个实在太难说了。
友日:有多少无聊的技术人员会在后台看你设置成隐私的图片,而且不删除的呢,这个实在太难说了。
