Principles of using gauges in executive dashboards.
Wed, 14 May 2008 21:18:23 PDT
You probably know that implementation of various dashboards in business applications is rather new and popular trend. As all new tendencies, executive dashboards raised a lot of discussions on practical usefulness of both complete concept and separate dashboard elements. In this article I tried to state basic principles of using such elements.

Differentiating between potentially successful and possibly hazardous web trends can be tough, but can also play a key role in your site’s success (or failure).
Fashion and style Cannes Film Festival 2008
Wed, 14 May 2008 23:14:55 PDT
The stars put on their most glamorous gowns for a most popular and biggest internetional film festival called Cannes as Cate Blanchett and Natalie Portman stole the show, but what Julianne Moore wore was criminal. Flounces, ruffles and clever draping in pale pastel palettes were popular trends on the red carpet at the 61st Cannes...
Top 10 tech trends: The boomer Internet, smart phones and more
Wed, 14 May 2008 23:33:33 PDT
The Churchill Club of Silicon Valley just wrapped up one of its most anticipated events: the Annual Top Ten Tech Trends Debate. Five well-known and opinionated venture capitalists weighed-in on the million-dollar question: What trends will take flight and what trends will fizzle out in the months ahead? (The VCs are pictured, from left to right: Steve Jurvetson, Vinod Khosla, Josh Kopelman, Roger McNamee, Joe Schoendorf.) The audience of around 300 people was asked whether it agreed or disa
Climate Scientists Agree on Warming, Disagree on Dangers, and Don’t Trust the Media’s Coverage of Climate Change
Wed, 14 May 2008 23:33:39 PDT
A slight majority (54%) believe the warming measured over the last 100 years is not “within the range of natural temperature fluctuation.” A slight majority (56%) see at least a 50-50 chance that global temperatures will rise two degrees Celsius or more during the next 50 to 100 years. (The United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change cites this increase as the point beyond which additional warming would produce major environmental disruptions.) Based on current trends, 41% of sc
Global Guerilla's on Why use the Thermodynamic Crisis as a Framework?

JOURNAL: Why use the Thermodynamic Crisis as a framework? Posted: 14 May 2008 11:49 AM CDT As many of you already know, a large part of what I do is to provide people with useful frameworks for thinking through difficult or complex problems. To the extent that these frameworks get you thinking (even if you disagree with me, which is encouraged), they are a success. The benefit of using the "Thermodynamic Crisis" as a framework is that it is a relatively complete and simple explanation for many o
'Been Keeping My Mouth Shut' since I felt what was happening would be obvious to most.....
Wed, 14 May 2008 23:46:16 PDT
But guess what? It's not. People, that's people who say they are 'progressive' or liberal, have been expressing the most ignorant ideas about what's going on in this Dem Primary. Sorry about that word 'ignorant' but hey...the show fits...wear it. Here with commentary by me is eriposte to...well... Tell a story. You do like a story don't you?

Future Education
Wed, 14 May 2008 23:57:28 PDT
Today being my 40th birthday, time is somewhat precious to me and mine. I don’t relish the idea of spending any more of my forty-something than I have to on this degree, so I have set a very ambitious goal to be done with my doctoral dissertation in a year. Even as I map out the short-term projects and paper deadlines to put me on that aggressive pace, a larger question looms: What happens next? One of the attractions of an Informatics degree in a new program is the ability to apply it to acad
Bohol Provincial Tourism Council
Wed, 14 May 2008 23:57:36 PDT
With the phenomenal growth of tourism (predominantly nature and culture-based tourism) in the Province of Bohol, it is important to sustain the socio-economic gains of this trend for the province in order to foster not only increase in tourist arrivals and/or their continued patronage,
The Rise of Contextual User Interfaces
Wed, 14 May 2008 23:59:08 PDT
Web 2.0 has brought many wonderful innovations and ideas to the Internet. We can no longer imagine the web without a social dimension, and we can no longer imagine an online world that is read-only - it is now a read/write web full of user-generated content. But there is another fairly recent innovation, which might have just as profound implications. We're speaking of the contextual user interface. Even five years ago we lived in the boxed world of Windows-dominated UIs. There were standard

What Would Madison Avenue Do? Marketing to Teens - 5/1/2008 - School Library Journal Whether you work for Nike or in a library, it’s tough to attract an audience. And that’s where smart marketing can make all the difference.
