For a recent client project, we wanted to be able to turn a list of YouTube links into a playlist. This would allow the client to manage their videos on YouTube and simply insert links to the videos on their site. With javascript enabled a nice playlist is created, whilst without javasript the user gets a regular list of links to youtube pages.

Douglas Gayeton’s Slow: Life in a Tuscan Town (Welcome Books) is pornography for the Heat-reading set. It is the Slow Food movement brought to art (it even has its own dinner tour). It is a series of portraits of a rural town in Italy where Gayeton lived, worked, cooked, fell in love, and took pictures—tons of pictures, many of which ...

This is more a technique than a recipe. It makes a bird that has concentrated turkey flavor and fine, firm flesh and that's delicious as is. But you can add other flavors. Minced rosemary would be a nice finishing addition. Or brush the bird lightly with butter before roasting.

If you have ever delved into the deep caves of video encoding and transcoding you’ve probably come along FFmpeg, the ’swiss army knife’ of video encoding tools. Basically, FFmpeg is a command-line tool that allows you to convert virtually any video and audio format to another format. That’s very handy if you want to ...

Too bad the voice recognition on my Google voice account is so unreliable. You don't even need to hear the real message to notice that this message is a little weird:

Many people buy a car (probably their single biggest discretionary purchase) based on slamming a door, kicking a tire and judging the handshake of a salesperson.

Facebook ist mit zusammen 250 Millionen Mitgliedern das führende soziale Netzwerk in allen großen westlichen Ländern. Einzige nennenswerte Ausnahme war bisher Deutschland. Doch auch dieser weiße Fleck in der Facebook-Landkarte scheint jetzt zu verschwinden: Nach Messungen des Marktforschungsunternehmens Nielsen ist die ...

ROME – A Vatican researcher has rekindled the age-old debate over the Shroud of Turin, saying that faint writing on the linen proves it was the burial cloth of Jesus.

A large part of SW development is representing the information as RDF for persistence and interoperability. It’s usually done with lots of the glue code to map the programming object model to RDF triples and vice versa.

Git’s great! But it’s difficult to learn (it was for me, anyway) — especially the index, which unlike the power-user features, comes up in day-to-day operation.

Hold up the origami unicorn as the patron saint of transmedia. It is a single element that transforms the understanding of a narrative (In Bladerunner).

Last week I had a great time at the Latin America Rails Summit. (Thanks to the organizers for inviting me!) During breaks in the action here and there, I spent time working on Tarantula, and for a lot of that time I was sitting with Chad Fowler and David Chelimsky. David was working on RSpec, and asked Chad and me for help coming up with a good ...

If you are new to social media, or are someone who has been in the industry for a while, you are likely familiar with Mashable, the most popular blog dedicated to discussions about the social web. Jeff and I talk frequently about what makes Mashable so successful. Interestingly though, how they succeed has a lot of application on B2B content ...

Adding Twitter and Facebook to game consoles is a good idea, but both Sony and Microsoft are missing the point. These social networks are tools that can be used for all kinds of things. Their usefulness to gamers doesn’t spawn from the ability to learn in real time that your best friend’s wife is psyched to see New Moon. Social ...

Proxy websites allows us to bypass our current ISP’s IP and connect to targeted website with a different IP; thus hiding our actual origin from detectable. Internet users use proxy websites for various reasons, some to access websites potentially blocked by their colleges or workplace, some use it to test their scripts. I frequently used ...

A MAN lies comatose on an operating table. The enormous spider that hangs above him has plunged four appendages into his belly. The spider, made of white steel, probes around inside the man's abdomen then withdraws one of its arms. Held in the machine's claw is a neatly sealed bag containing a scrap of bloody tissue.

Active Endpoints’ Alex Neihaus points me to a post by his CTO Michael Rowley entitled “Which is simpler: BPMN or BPEL?”  I’m groaning before I even read it, because I know where Michael is headed.  Right off a cliff, in my view.

Il arrive que l’on me demande comment faire certaines choses très simples sur iPhone, comme comment déplacer des icônes du Springboard. Pour la plupart des geeks, c’est élémentaire, mais tout le monde ne sait pas tout sur l’iPhone (moi le premier !) et ce n’est pas écrit dans le manuel (quel manuel ?). C’est ...

Hoy he participado en la mesa sobre política 2.0 del forum de comunicación Telepolitika. Como me tocaba hablar de lo que se había estado moviendo en la Red, he intentado hacer más un juego de prospectiva con mi querida abuela cibercebolleta.

I’m a huge fan of NHibernate. It has excellent documentation and just makes the whole job of getting things into and out of the database much more enjoyable.  There is a whole series of posts on NHibernate from one of the committers, Ayende.  When Fluent NHibernate (FNH) came out, it was like butter on sliced bread.  FNH makes it even easier ...

I recently started using Git for my local revision control. Since I spend about 90% of my coding time inside the Vim editor, I went looking for a plugin that would make Vim play nice with Git. In this article I present two different vim plugins and explore their feature-set via screenshots.

More than two dozen seniors at Lincoln University, in Oxford, Pa., are in danger of not being able to graduate this spring -- not because they’re under disciplinary probation or haven’t fulfilled the requirements of their majors, but because they were obese as freshmen.

La Historia sabe de un extraño caso en que un río fue condenado a muerte, y también de la curiosa forma en que la pena fue ejecutada. Nos lo cuenta Heródoto de Halicarnaso en el primero de sus nueve libros de Historia (apartados CLXXXIX y CXC), considerado por muchos como la fuente griega más fiable sobre Ciro II el Grande de Persia.

As I revealed in a previous post (First Look at Chrome OS) I have installed the early Chrome OS build in VirtualBox. Here I will walk you through the steps of how to do it yourself. I am using a VirtualBox on Mac OS X 10.6.2, so a few things might be different if you are attempting this in Windows or Linux.

Audiobooks have come a long way from those cassette tapes once used, alongside Big Gulps, to pass the long hours of an otherwise monotonous road trip. With the advent of the digital world, they've since become a more affordable and accessible form of entertainment, as both car-bound commuters and those opting for public transportation are finding ...

Minneapolis is very different from Mogadishu. Yet it is home to the largest group of Somali refugees in the country - more than 60,000 of them. It may seem like an odd place to settle if you are from the Horn of Africa.

Josh Levinger of GroundTruth and I tested our larger 8 foot balloon yesterday, and it was a huge success! We ran all the way through our spool of string, and got some great images before the light got too dim. I rectified them using Map Warper (fantastic!) and we now have a mostly continuous ’scan’ of our flight.

In my family, Thanksgiving dinner always begins with the primi piatti, or first course. It’s the Italian way.  Don’t even try to slap a turkey, stuffing and some sides on the table without first serving some type of soup, pasta or risotto dish.    But, let’s face it.  Who could possibly ingest, much less savor, turkey and all of the ...

In the relative short time that websites have been around, compared to other media, much has been learnt about web design. There aren’t any ‘rules’ beyond web standards and even then, they’re only guidelines. There are a number of other guidelines or rules that you should be adhering to when designing for the web.

Anyone who owns an iPhone knows that, if you use it as intended, you will need to charge the battery far more often than any other device you have grown accustomed to. This is especially true as it gets older. Mine is a bit over a year old now and on a good day I drain it before bedtime.

A few months after the launch of the App Store, developers began reporting unexplained spikes in their new user numbers, spikes that were completely irreconcilable with iTunes Connect reporting on new downloads.  After investigating, it unfortunately became clear that this wasn’t an error in our reporting, but instead was due to ...
