Why You Should (or Should Not) Use the Yahoo! Music Engine

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Why You Should (or Should Not) Use the Yahoo! Music Engine
I figure that this is about the best marketing blog post ever, and after giving it a read I downloaded Yahoo!'s new music player. The player connects to Yahoo!'s Launch music service, which has been around for a while now (I gave up on it when the ads outnumbered the songs). The download was a breeze, but the player uses Internet Explorer, which fired off a stream of Javascript errors while failing to import my local music. More...

EDUCAUSE Podcast on Project Governance

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. EDUCAUSE Podcast on Project Governance
D'Arcy Norman links to this podcast by Lisa Kosanovich on project governance. The talks starts out pretty well. She describes administrivia, that sort of project management that drives us all nuts, as "a more reactive approach to problems that arise" and tracable to things like design problems "being resolved in a vacuum". Her four principles of project management seem sound to me: assigning roles and responsibilities, creating a change management and scope steward, setting out communication rules, and setting up schedule tools and principles.

The Role of Metaphor in Interaction Design

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. The Role of Metaphor in Interaction Design
I think metaphor is the foundation of human reason (more accurately, I think similarity is the foundation of human reason). So it should be no surprise that I would be interested in Dan Saffer's essay on the role of metaphor in interaction design. More...

Anticipating Autopoiesis: Personal Construct Psychology and Self-Organizing Systems

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Anticipating Autopoiesis: Personal Construct Psychology and Self-Organizing Systems
Seb Fiedler hits on a nice article that draws out some implications of the psychological theory of constructivism, a theory which holds, essentially, that our understanding of the world is a creative act. "There is no event which could be called 'stark reality' because there is no event which we cannot reconstrue alternately." What's important is how we undertake this process (c.f. my remarks on similarity, below). More...

Dutch Academics Declare Research Free-for-all

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Dutch Academics Declare Research Free-for-all
Three cheers for the Dutch! As the Register reports, "Scientists from all major Dutch universities officially launched a website on Tuesday where all their research material can be accessed for free. Interested parties can get hold of a total of 47,000 digital documents from 16 institutions the Digital Academic Repositories. No other nation in the world offers such easy access to its complete academic research output in digital form, the researchers claim. Obviously, commercial publishers are not amused." Personally, I don't care whether they are amused. More...

Filling up Experiences at the Online Learning Filling Station

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Filling up Experiences at the Online Learning Filling Station
Like Derek Morrison, I have rolled my eyes at the thought of using a PDA, this after my less than fruitful experience with an iPaq a few years ago. I wonder whether my thoughts would change with one of the newer devices. More...
