    Yikes! The Future of Augmented Cognition?

    May 15th, 2008 by Stephen

    Posted in Digital Apps, Gear, Links |

    Via Ryan at Collaborative Ideation:

    Augmented Cognition

    This short film takes place in 2030 in a command center that is tasked with monitoring cyberspace activities for anomalies that could threaten the global economy. The economy, which functions largely in cyberspace, is the link between countries and is extremely susceptible to instability. As might be expected, given the ever-increasing amount of data to be analyzed even in today’s world, the workers in 2030 are inundated with information from all sources.

    They have so much information to contend with that they are literally unable to process it all unaided. Fortunately, AugCog technologies have matured by this point and are commonly integrated into information-rich domains, including the featured command center. The film takes viewers through a near incident that is resolved by one of the analysts in the command center and is designed to tell two sides of the AugCog story: the innumerable benefits of the application of AugCog technology and the explanation of how that technology works.

    The SOBCon Notebook Hack

    April 20th, 2008 by Stephen

    Posted in Gear, Organizer, Planning |

    I spent a couple of days last week looking all over Maine for a bookstore that carried the Moleskine Citybook for Chicago. I wanted it so that I could have a separate place to capture all of my notes and contact info for the trip coming up in two weeks.

    Try as I might, I could not find one. And I didn’t feel like ordering one from Amazon and having to wait for it, I wanted to work on it NOW!
    So, I happened to have an extra 5″ x 8″ Moleskine-type notebook lying around, so I hacked it myself. Keep in mind that this is strictly utilitarian, and not meant to be pretty or elegant. Here are the pics:

    Inside info

    This is going to be good.
