Building the open web one bit at a time. In this age of context why create static content at all? Shouldn’t our media and text adjust itself to relevant external factors which are changing as quickly as the weather or current uprising or financial swings in the world’s markets? Content needs to embrace dynamic authoring so that creators can express themselves in a fluid manner so that input from readers and contextual changes in the world and wait for it can change the ideas themselves! A series of essays.

http://marc.digitalcitymechanics.com/2014/04/18/chag-semeach-ya-all
Building the open web one bit at a time. Chag Semeach – ya-all! So here I am blogging in Charlotte, NC and we did a Seder last night – with some friends who came down from NYC. I’ve been so pre-occupied with starting our new company – ThingFace – and moving down here – that I’m afraid I haven’t been blogging – too much. /excuse. Snowden points out the similarities between Obama and Putin – I wonder if they’ll let Snowden stay in Russia? I love it when the hiway glows…. Prototyping for the Digital City.

http://marc.digitalcitymechanics.com/2014/08/09/counselors-will-love-thingface
Building the open web one bit at a time. Counselors will LOVE ThingFace. These are one of the kind of people who would utilize ThingFace to create custom Apps for their clients. ThingFace Apps will feature authored “smarts” (that can run in the background ) and “foreground” interactive sequences and mobile interfaces, which would have media playback and record, points, leaderboards, cloud based Content publishing all built into the experience. And that is just one example of how ThingFace will be utilized.

Building the open web one bit at a time. Repeating the same mistakes – will our industry ever learn? Halt and Catch Fire. Looks like an incredible new show from AMC – which will replace Mad Men – as their “period piece.”. It appears that this new show will focus on the nascent PC industry – circa 1983 – which I happen to have lived through – oh those many years ago. In fact in 1982 – I was working with Tracey Kidder’s brother. 8211; when “ The Soul of a New Machine. Moore’s Law, Metcalfe’s La...Since the...

Building the open web one bit at a time. Building on existing computer training efforts. At the forefront of Digital City Mechanics ( DCM ) efforts is a new way to teach computer skills to anybody.

Or here’s a Gmail account. So the question at hand is:. So that’s a good thing. Hopefully 70-...

Building the open web one bit at a time. MediaBar demo – from 1996. Here’s I demo I did back in 1996 – showing off this cyber-theme restaurant operating system we developed called ‘MediaBar’.

The video is really about the making of my house at 701 Rhode Island on Potrero Hill – which we laid on top of MediaBand performanc...
