New BUDF Website Goes Live
A little pre-holiday season update from mod7: the new BUDF website, designed and built by mod7, goes live today. Powered by the popular blogging and publishing platform, WordPress, the site is fully dynamic and client-managed. Happy Holidays! http://budf.ca
Zoho
Zoho: Here’s a full suite of “100% free” MS Office-like online applications. Import/export common MS docs, create web-enable apps, build your own apps and widgets to extend the functionality… it’s amazing, really.
Am I ready to make the switch to complete web 2.0 100% free virtual desktops? Maybe… it’s pretty nifty, but would I trust my sensitive corporate data to their servers?
And am I out of luck during those rare times that I’m not online? Nope, they have a downloadable app version.
First Wave of Hip Digital Projects Released
The first branded Hip Digital-powered sites have been launched, and they are lookin’ fine! Check out the Country Music TV Store and eSounds.ca.
In late 2005, Hip Digital Media Inc. came to mod7 for help in the design of a robust, brand-able online music-delivery system. Working closely with OpenRoad Communications, mod7 led the initial charge into the research, prototyping and modular visual design for this B2B and B2C endeavour and stayed on for Flash application programming and front-end HTML/CSS development.
More is certainly to come.
What’s Your Gnibber?
http://blog.bigsnit.com/index.php/2006/12/08/387
Ha ha! Sounds like a Futurama character.
Will keyword representation on blogs be yet another measurement of the technology divide? It certainly an indicator of public focus (mainstream and geekoid), although I’m not sure what that means in the big picture.
Regardless, before Gnibber gets too widely accepted, let me point out some statistical shortfalls:
- I suppose Technorati is the premiere blog aggregator, but is it truly representative?
- A standard measure of time would need to be established as a baseline, or the numbers are meaningless. GNP is usually annual for obvious reasons. I think a Gnibber should always be daily. Just because. (But then we would need accurate population numbers on a daily basis. Oh dear, this is getting too complicated.)
- Any number that needs to resort to negative exponents is retarded. Therefore, a Gnibber should be per thousand to bring the number up to something more meaningful. (Gniberths? Wouldn’t that be fun to say over and over again - instant lisp.)
- Places with higher Gnibbers aren’t always the coolest places. However, the comparison of Vancouver to Toronto does indeed confirm that Van is far cooler than TO, as does this comparison:
“Canada” posts the past 1 day
(12/10’s avg Gnibber = ~0.22, using the new per thousand metric).
“United States” posts in the past 1 days
(12/10’s avg Gnibber = ~0.03).Granted, there are more variations on United States (USA, US, the States, the Great Satan, etc.) than on Canada, but it sounds odd that the Canada should outrun the US by a whopping 7 times.
Celebrate 7
Seven year itch, seven days in the week, seven deadly sins, Shabbat, lucky number seven, Kazakhstan, nitrogen, bell character, white dwarf stars, pure water, number of heavens, human cognition, hot cyborgs, James Bond, John Elway, Mickey Mantle, Wonders of the Ancient World, ages of man, seas, chakras, chmod 777, dirty words you can’t say on TV [warning to the kids: lots o’ obscenities here], mod7.
Why do we celebrate only anniversaries divisible by five, when the sevens certainly seem to have some deep cultural significance, as well? Never mind that we have five fingers per hand–that body-centric thinking is sooooo prehistoric. It’s all about the mind now, baby.
Well, mod7’s seventh anniversary is coming up…
