NYC IxDA - The 7-Minute IxD Soapbox (a.k.a. Pecha Kucha)
2007-11-13 / Method / SoHo, NYC
At this fast-paced event, we're giving seven people a chance to share their ideas — for just seven minutes each. The only rule is that topic must relate to interaction design. Of course, if you simply prefer to take it all in, you're welcome to participate as an audience member.
TOPICS
Anything goes, as long as it's related to interaction design or user experience. Present some of your work; talk about a design problem you're facing; rant about a device you don't like; effuse about your favorite product; share some results from a usability test; question the value of market research in product development; relate an experience with redesigning a product. If you don't want to soapbox alone pair up with a friend or colleague. Heck, you could even do a parody of your favorite IxD guru, if you're so inclined! If it's something you're interested in, chances are very high we're interested too.
GOAL
To connect people in our diverse and powerful community who are interested in having their interaction design neurons stimulated. This event will be an extraordinary grab-bag of local voices. Practice your speaking and presenting skills! Spark some debate! Make new friends and enemies! Gain new insights!
FORMAT
Speakers may use presentation slides, show off short multimedia, demonstrate something online, or just shoot from the hip. Just make sure it's 7 minutes and no longer. After the seven soaps, we'll hold Q&A and/or discussion. Caveat: Nomenclature debates about our roles and what we call ourselves as practitioners (IA, UX, IxD, HCI, CHI, UCD, etc.) will be reserved for anyone wishing to go to the nearest pub after the event.

Day 6 of the trip.
There was discussion this morning on how many orchid species we have actually seen, it is possibly either 39 or 40. Which is quite amazing, really.
And there was the promise of yet more species through the day.
I was up at six, and after a shower, I went for a walk to the coffee shop for a double Greek coffee and one of the small sesame seed coated baguettes they sell, which I ate in the French way, dipping mouthfulls in the coffee.
Yummy.
I walked back to the hotel, with the sound of a Hoopoe echoing around the village, though I never got a look at the bird, I do know its call.
ack at the hotel I had second breakfast of Greek yogurt, fruit and a slice of cake, and yet more coffee. I felt I could take on anything.
So, at nine we loaded up the busses and headed to the wooded hill in the centre of the island where we got out and straight away were shown the first rarity of the day, a Milky Orchid, which is a small understated orchid.
We took turns to photograph it, then moved on up the slope where we found the next rarity, Neotinea maculata, known as the Dense Flowered Orchid, which is found in some places back home, but not Kent. It is a cousin of the Milky, but looks very different. Just a handful of these tiny orchids were found, some more delicate than others.
Over the hill and down a slope came the only disappointment, just unopened spikes of the very rare Limodorum abortivum, a half dozen round the foot of a fir tree. We hope to return on the way to the airport on Saturday, but in the end, time beat us.
We walked back to the car, and drove a short distance where at a rocky outcrop we found smaller Milky Orchids, missed by the herds of feral goats.
We moved on.
To a dry site next, where we had hoped to find a coterie of spikes, but found just one impressive Ophrys mammosa, which we all snapped anyway.
We had lunch, and as well as the usual rolls, we had pastries and stuffed vine leaves cooked by the mother-in-law of the owner of the tour company.
Along a river valley, we stopped to see the largest colony of Orchis italica on the island. We took our time to record those, and with that came the realisation that we were running out of orchids.
-------------------------------------------
O. italica was first described by Poiret from Italy in 1798. Since that date it has become perhaps the most familiar of Mediterranean orchids, arguably the most abundant. It is a member of the O. militaris group and commonly known as the Naked Man Orchid, a reference to the general outline of the flower.
O. italica is widespread in the southern Mediterranean and may be found from North Africa up to central Italy and central Spain whilst in the east it reaches Israel and is particularly common in Greece, the Aegean basin, Crete and Cyprus. The species is not a particularly variable one and its colouration is usually pink, although white is not at all uncommon and in Sicily there exists a hyperchromatic variant, purpurea that is deep red. As one would expect with such a plentiful species, hybridization is frequent, particularly with O. militaris group members, one of the commoner hybrids being O. italica x anthropophora. Intergeneric hybridizations have also been recorded.
O. italica is a robust orchid that can reach 70cms and contain up to a hundred individual florets within the inflorescence. The flowers are distinctive and notable for the length of the appendage between the secondary lobes (legs) of the lip, this being an easy differentiator when comparing to O. militaris with its much stubbier appendage and secondary lobes. The leaves are also a distinct feature of the species, being significantly undulate and forming a tight and unmistakable pale green rosette.
Unlike most of the O. militaris group, O. italica it is not restricted to alkaline substrates and tolerates most nutrient poor soils, where it is often the only orchid species present.

We ask the press officer listen to us and the Greek people and to tell his government to stop enforcing Israel's unlawful and immoral siege and let the Freedom Flotilla sail.
My first experiment with the phenomenon cloning. First lesson is that the light should be constant and that you make sure the focus on your camera is on manual. But still you have shadows and other things you have to think of. But it was fun to do. I used both PaintShop and PhotoShop CS2.
The theme was a sort of French discussion about 'tout et rien'.
