Today's User Interface Question: Dallas / Forth Worth Airport Skylink. Where do you get off?
If you were at Gate A16 and had to get to Gate D20 as quickly as possible, and the Skylink train graphics shows a FIRST STOP at Teminal D, between D24 and D36, THEN a NEXT STOP between D11 and D21, which stop would you get off at?
Note: Picture shown here does not match terminal graphic.
The problem is that the graphics in the terminal do not show the EXACT gate the train stops at, only that it stops BETWEEN specific gates.
Question:
Would it stop half-way between D24 and D36, meaning it would stop at D30 which would be a 10 gate walk, or would it stop near Gate 16, a 4 gate walk? Would you make up time by getting out at the first stop and walking, instead of staying on the train until the next stop.
The solution would be to indicate the exact gate that the train stops at.
Answer:
The train stops EXACTLY at Gate D21. One gate away from my destination, Gate D20. ;-)
Live Broadcasting Over Mobile and Wi-Fi Networks
Track B: (B101) 10:30 AM - 11:15 AM
While big media tests the waters of mobile broadcasting, many web video producers are already out there doing it live from the street with cell phones. Others are joining in and experimenting with two-way broadcasts via streaming video over cell phone networks and via Wi-Fi, wherever they are. Viewers can chat while the broadcast is going on and affect and sometimes even direct the content being produced. Come to this session to hear Steve Garfield talk with other pioneers in the live broadcasting space about their experiences at the forefront of this new technology for sharing their stories over the web.

Hey DIY people in the world and astronauts too.
My TV show pilot called History Hacker airs this upcoming Friday at 8PM and Midnight on the History Channel. I'm the host of the show and I check out inventors in history and take a hands-on look at their inventions. I need your help to make the show go from a pilot to a real TV show.
The pilot is all about Nikola Tesla and the war of the currents between Tesla and Edison. In the show I learn how to blow a neon tube, explore wireless electricity and build an AC generator from a bike. I also go to Boston to visit an MIT space lab to see how the principles that Tesla pioneered are being applied to space propulsion.
The look of the show is awesome. The folks at History gave the producer, director, and director of photography permission to take my DIY style of making videos with lots of jump cuts and direct talking to the camera and push it forward into a longer format. It doesn't look like anything else on TV.
There are four things you can do to help make the pilot a TV show.
1. Go to www.youtube.com and Sign In using the link at the top right (if you don't have a YouTube account, create one by clicking the Sign Up link).That's all there is to it.
2. Click the large yellow button labeled Upload. Fill in the Title and Description elds -- use the phrase One Web Day MA in the title. Choose the Video Category called News & Politics. Tag the video with OWD MA, town hall, and the issue you are addressing (income tax, wind farm, education). The tags are key: we can't fi nd your videos without them!
3. Click the Quick Capture button at the bottom. Inside of the box on the mid-left, there will be a small information
box that asks, Allow www.youtube.com to access your camera and microphone?" Click Allow and Close.
Make sure your camera is turned on and your microphone volume is turned up (you should be able to see
yourself in the box).
4. When ready, click the Ready to Record button and record the message to Governor Patrick. When finished,
click the red square to stop. Click Preview to watch the recording. If satis ed, click Publish. If not, click Re-Record and try again.
5. Email volunteer@onewebday.org and tell us about your contribution
"Considering the stakes of this election, shouldn't part of the process of choosing the next president be a 'job interview' of sorts, designed to shed light on the candidates' leadership capacity? Voters deserve a better understanding of who the candidates really are; their aptitude for building teams and coalitions; their judgment and decision-making style; and the special competencies they bring to getting difficult things done.Since the Globe doesn't link to websites mentioned in it's articles, I went and found the site that has all the questions and lots of background.
To that end, the Center for Public Leadership at the Harvard Kennedy School and the Ken Blanchard Companies recently convened a diverse group of leaders from all sectors - government, corporate, and nonprofit - as well as academics and others who study leadership. Two hundred participants developed questions for the candidates that would help introduce them more fully as leaders to the American voter."
Who Are You Really?Good questions.
1. Values: What are your five core values and how do they shape how you lead?
2. Attributes & Competencies: What are the attributes and competencies you value most in yourself that will serve you well in the White House?
3. Weaknesses & Mistakes: Recent American history has many examples of leaders whose weaknesses brought them down. What are your tendencies that could cause your presidency to fail?
4. People I Have Learned From: What historical figure has exercised leadership in a way that you aspire to? What were their strengths? Tell us about a situation that tested their leadership.
5. Multicultural Experience/World View: What experiences have helped you deeply understand the mindset and values of other cultures?
Who Will Be at The Table With You?
6. Building a Team: Tell us about a high performing team that you’ve built. What made it high-performing?
7. Coalition Building: Can you share some examples of when you were a catalyst who brought groups with polarized opinions together so that all voices were at the table?
8. Increasing Participation: The internet and technology have flattened the political playing field, allowing for more participation and collective decision making. How will you create a more participatory democracy and give people the opportunity to influence decision making?
9. Increasing Participation: Young people have engaged in this election in greater numbers than ever before. Please give us some examples of how you have listened and responded to the next generation in your campaign. How will you keep the next generation engaged?
How Will You Decide?
10. Decision Making Style: The president’s role requires decisiveness. Please share some examples of your ability and willingness to be decisive. Can you tell us about a time when a lack of decisiveness got you into trouble. In retrospect, what would you have done differently?
11. Judgment: Tell us about a time when your judgment was tested in crisis. What do you want us to appreciate about your judgment?
How Will You Act? And What Will You Act On?
12. Leading Change: Can you give us an example of how you have overcome resistance to bring about a needed change?
13. Innovative Thinking: How will you create an environment for innovation within your leadership team?
14. Building the Confidence of Others: What are the first few things you’ll do to raise confidence at home and abroad?
15. Priorities Indicative of Values: The USA ranks 1st in incarceration and 18th in high school graduation. What leadership skills and values do you bring to the challenge of reversing these numbers? Can you point to three things in your past that will help us understand that you care about this challenge?

"'The voice analysis profile for McCain looks very much like someone who is clinically depressed,' says Pollermann, a psychologist who uses voice analysis software in her work with patients. Previous research on mirror neurons has shown that listening to depressed voices can make others feel depressed themselves, she says.I'm glad Stu wote this because I had a weird feeling after listening to McCain on the Spanish radio broadcast. Now I know what it was.
Pollermann uses auditory analysis software to map seven parameters of a person's speech, including pitch modulation, volume and fluency, to create a voice profile. She then compares that profile with the speaker's facial expressions, using as a guide a set of facial expressions mapped out by Ekman, called the Facial Action Coding System, to develop an overall picture of how they express themselves.
Her analysis shows that McCain's voice changes little in pitch as he speaks, and so conveys very little emotion or impact. Whether he is addressing positive prospects or discussing sad facts, his voice always sounds the same.
Additionally, McCain's voice and facial movements often do not match up, says Pollermann, and he often smiles in a manner that commonly conveys sarcasm when addressing controversial statements. 'That might lead to what I would call a lack of credibility.'"
Sarah Palin, the US Republican vice-presidential candidate, claimed daily travel allowances as the governor of Alaska while she remained at home, according to a report in the Washington Post newspaper.
Palin claimed the state allowance for 312 nights when she was at home in the town of Wasilla, at a cost to taxpayers of $17,000 over 19 months, the paper said.
"Per diem" payments are usually meant for meals and incidental expenses while travelling on state business.
State officials said the claims by John McCain's running mate were permitted because her "duty station" is Juneau, the Alaskan capital, and she lives in Wasilla, which is 600 miles away, the newspaper reported on Tuesday.
84. "Yes, she did bill the Alaska State Government for per diem on days when she was “home.” This is how it works: she is maintaining two households. The state law defines her official residence in Juneau as “home”, so when she’s up in Wasilla, she’s “traveling”. That’s the way the law is written, and it appears that she has documented and handled her expenses legally and appropriately, even if it seems odd. And yes, her expenses have been anywhere from a third to a fifth of the expenses of the previous Governor. The Washington Post suggests this calls into question her claim to be a fiscal conservative; personally, I think cutting expenses by 70 to 80 percent seems like a pretty good claim to the title."Palin Rumors is a good site.
"Elina Ivanova, she of such love for animals and hatred for her mother, broke down and wept when she was given a curly red style, which, as Tyra promised, did make the girl look ethnically vague. Elina is going to be the girl who everyone has a strong opinion of on this cycle: She's clearly lovely, but she has a personality that you either love or hate on reality TV. You'd think a girl who enjoyed turning straight girls bi-curious wouldn't have a problem with changing her hairdo, but there you go."Striking.
"What will happen if a customer exceeds 250 GB of data usage in a month?It would be nice to know how much bandwidth we are using.
The vast majority - more than 99% - of Comcast customers will not be impacted by a 250 GB monthly bandwidth or data usage threshold. If a customer exceeds more than 250 GB and is one of the heaviest data users who consume the most data on our high-speed Internet service, he or she may receive a call from Comcast's Customer Security Assurance ('CSA') group to notify them of excessive use. At that time, Comcast will tell the customer exactly how much data per month he or she had used.
If a customer surpasses 250 GB and is one of the top users of the service for a second time within a six-month timeframe, his or her service will be subject to termination for one year. After the one year period expires, the customer may resume service by subscribing to a service plan appropriate to his or her needs."
"Total certainty would be such a refreshing change of pace in the White House." - Jon Stewart

2. Was this conflict a demonstration of power?
3. What is the prehistory of Ossetia vs. Georgia, Abkhazia vs. Georgia relations.
4. Do we enroach on Georgia sovereignty?
5. Can you give any guarantees to other countries? Incorrectly posed question.
6. Chronology of the conflict. Who started it and what was the order of events.
7. We hoped that US administration will interfere and stop Georgia.
8. How Georgia bombed Dzhava and russian peacekeepers.
9. Who attacked whom.
10. Does the fact, that US-president was not able to keep Georgia from aggression, affect your mutual relations?
11. Even in the times of Cold War we always avoided direct confrontation between our servicemen. Now we have reasons to conjecture that US military men were present on the battlefield during military operations.
12. This would mean an internal political dimesion for the US.
13. Did some persons in the US provoke this conflict?
14. Middle East, Afganistan, Iraq, economy, mortgage - need for a small victorious war - otherwise portray Russia as aggressor.
15. Are you afraid of sunctions?
16. What will be russian answer to isolation?
17. What is our choice? Let them kill us in exchange of G8 membership?
18. This is not our ships near your coast, this is your ships near our coast. Is this what they call the "Russian threat"?
19. Can Russia refuse to collaborate with their partners?

Worst Mailer Ever
I just got this mailing from State Senator Dianne Wilkerson. She's running for re-election against Sonia Chang-Diaz.
What's ironic is the "PAST DUE" notice on the front of the mailer.
Form the Boston Globe, "Wilkerson in 1997 pleaded guilty to failing to file tax returns from 1991 to 1994. She was sentenced to house arrest, then sent to a halfway house for 30 days by a federal judge after twice breaking a court-ordered 9 p.m. curfew."
PAST DUE.
Ironic.
"Dinosaurs were the dominant vertebrate animals of terrestrial ecosystems for over 160 million years, from the late Triassic period (about 230 million years ago) to the end of the Cretaceous period (65 million years ago), when most of them became extinct in the Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event."Damon says:
"I need to know if she really thinks dinosaurs were here 4000 years ago, that’s an important…I want to know that. I really do. Because she’s going to have the nuclear codes. I want to know if she thinks dinosaurs were here 4,000 years ago. "
Actor Matt Damon speaks out on the Republicans' choice of hockey-mom Sarah Palin for VP. Damon compares her rise to a 'really bad Disney movie' and says it's crazy that this woman could become President. (Sept. 10)

"The other night, we found ourselves engaged in a political conversation with a chatty waiter, a young gay man who had just watched the Republican primary. 'Did you see Sarah Palin's speech?' he asked us. 'She's really pretty, and I loved her attitude. Maybe she's just what this country needs.'Head over to Mark's blog to read more on Sarah Palin's Ignorance of the Outside World, Censorship, Borrowing Authority from God, Making the Personal Political, and Inexperience.
For him, it wasn't relevant that Ms. Palin was ignorant of the world, an advocate of censorship, a person who does not hesitate to borrow God's authority for herself and her causes, a person incapable of distinguishing between the personal and the political, and an inexperienced (and, apparently, fiscally irresponsible) leader. It didn't matter, either, that Palin is a member of a church that advocates that gay people need to be cured of their homosexuality in order to be considered acceptable to God [Source - AP Wire Reports].
All that mattered to this young man was her looks and her attitude. 'She seems spunky,' he said.
In the end, as responsible citizens, I suggest we need to focus less on a candidate's apparent spunk and sparkle, and more on what she has achieved ... and how she has achieved it."
Sarah Palin: "God's will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that" [ source ]

"For eight years, we’ve had a President who has a faith-based relationship with his own “gut,” a serene confidence undisturbed by reality. Obama, emerging as a candidate to succeed him, has demonstrated distinct evidence of a first-class intelligence and a first-class temperament. That seemed to leave experience—the length of Obama’s resume—as a Republican angle of attack. Then came Friday morning. On his seventy-second birthday, John McCain selected as his running mate Sarah Palin, a social conservative who spent the nineties embroiled in the civic affairs of Wasilla, Alaska (pop. 6,715), won the Alaska governorship only two years ago, and has zero experience in national politics and world affairs—a baffling rejoinder to the assuring nomination of Joe Biden and to the historic achievement of Barack Obama."
Hi Rick,Rick rules!
My wife and I watched you last night and were so impressed with the way you handled hte anchor duties. In Boston, we have a lot of teleprompter readers. You did an amazing job and we are truy fans.
Additionaly, your use of social media tools including twitter, facebook and MySpace, live online was an amazing breakthrough for cable news.
As a promoter of conversation with those that were formerly known as the audience, you did an amazing job last night to actually show TV viewers to power of social media.
Glad to hear you are getting our own show starting on September 8th.
