My man Shep is on a mission to motivate people to vote. Buy a print to help the street campaign.
[...] Call to Action! As many of you may be wondering what’s the deal with this latest print, well, here is the lowdown… Shepard recently created this print to stir up some motivation for individuals to get up and participate in the Presidential Electoral process. These past 8 years have been rough, watching and experiencing a great nation get demoralized by an Administration with selfish intent. We hope to change that this time around with some promising Presidential Candidates. Shepard created this print with the goal to fund a campaign to hit the streets with these pasters to make a call to action to VOTE! These prints will be available sometime this week so keep an eye on the site. Screenprint Edition of 350, 24″ x 36″, at $50 each. 1 VOTE per customer. [...] via http://obeygiant.com

web2.0 graff via the 3rd-screen
QR-Codes and Semacode tags can be quickly captured with a mobile phone’s camera which are then decoded to obtain a Web site address and accessed via the phone’s web browser. The difference between the two is that Semacode has a single defined markkup: the contents are a URL and can not be changed to have further markups without breaking backwards compatibility. Potentially new URL types could be introduced, a URL pointing to address book information for instance. The advantage QR code has is that there are defined markups for different types of information (incompatible ones from the various vendors but probably be resolved), and the default for “unknown markup” is “interpret it as text and look inside it for obvious URLs or whatever.”

“the 3-D Internet will be as important for work as the Web is today”
In a Forrester Research Inc report released earlier this week by Erica Driver and Paul Jackson tilted “Getting Real Work Done In Virtual Worlds” concludes that executives should begin investigating and experimenting with virtual worlds soon because of their promise for remote collaboration, training and the ability to build and share 3-D models.
[...]Virtual worlds like Second Life, There.com, and more business-focused offerings are on the brink of becoming valuable work tools. Major companies and public-sector organizations — such as BP, IBM, Intel, and the US Army — are investing heavily in virtual world technologies. But it’s still early, pioneering days. You’ve practically got to be a gamer to use most of these tools — setup can be arduous, navigating in a 3-D environment takes practice, and processing and bandwidth requirements remain high. But within five years, the 3-D Internet will be as important for work as the Web is today. Information and knowledge management professionals should begin to investigate and experiment with virtual worlds. Use them to try to replicate the experience of working physically alongside others; allow people to work with and share digital 3-D models of physical or theoretical objects; and make remote training and counseling more realistic by incorporating nonverbal communication into same-time, different-place interactions.[...] via Forrester
[...]Forrester recommends that companies first experiment with a virtual world, where set up costs can be as low as $60 per user per month. At the same time, companies should set up policies defining the acceptable use of virtual world and “keep a laser-like focus on the desired outcome” like making remote workers feel more like a part of the company or reducing manufacturing costs, the report noted.[...] via Computerworld
It’s too bad the report costs $279.00, but good to see more people are realizing the evolution is coming.

Nerd Attention Deficiency Disorder [citation needed]
Wikipedian Protester by xkcd
At the end of 2005 I collaborated on a online performance art piece titled THE ENACTMENT OF “HOW TO STEAM ROLL VOTES AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE”. LONG LIVE ZORDRAC!!! The piece was something that grew out of an a messy AfD vote which mutated into a work of art dealing with the power and control of information and more specifically, corruption within & validity of Wikipedia. Today I was passed a URL for a project that Matthew Mechtley has started, titled [citation needed] So being the Inclusionist Wikipedian geek that I am, I just had to share.
[...]I’ve got a serious case of NADD and about half my browser tabs at any given time are Wikipedia articles. One of my favorite quirks about the site are the little [citation needed] tags that users can place in an article, indicating that a dubious claim needs a reference. One day an idea struck — what statements are more dubious or outright ridiculous than those in advertisements? Thus, an OM project was born.[...]
Matt has “open sourced” the project , so to speak, and is offering downloadable templates so others can participate in the project. He has also been tagging his photoset on Flickr with citationneeded and wikiffiti

Matt Siber’s “THE UNTITLED PROJECT”
[...]The Untitled Project is rooted in an underlying interest in the nature of power. With the removal of all traces of text from the photographs, the project explores the manifestation of power between large groups of people in the form of public and semi-public language.[...] via - http://www.siberart.com
