“High above Norway’s County Road 17, this 360° aerial panorama captures the serene drama of Sjona fjord in Nordland. The view spans lush green valleys, the turquoise edges of the fjord, and snow-dusted ridges even in early summer. Handnesøya floats on the horizon like a giant resting whale, and in the far distance, the small town of Nesna clings to the edge of the sea.
📍 Fun fact: Sjona is known for its unusually deep fjord waters – reaching depths over 600 meters – making it a hotspot for cold-water coral reefs, a rarity this far north!”

IE is everywhere.
Here's the classic Internet Explorer "page cannot be displayed" error message, as displayed on the big electronic billboard at the East Palo Alto Ikea store.
For you non-IE users, it reads "The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings,"
The brightness of this image or something made the display jumpy, which is why it's hard to read. Other ads (the ones that actually loaded :-) displayed fine.
My favorite part: the scroll bar at the bottom.
Metaphors are funny things. They elude questions of truth and reality, and at the same time they produce truths and realities. They produce meanings and qualifications, frames of thought and action. They show things and aspects, and they hide other things. They compress and they decompress.
Especially when it comes to digital code they are extremely useful.
What's more, they are indispensable here. Without metaphors we have no access to digital code. We humans are simply not able to read or manipulate digital code, as this consists of bare inscriptions of difference, representing sets of numbers. We humans are strange semiotic creatures. We can interpret signs in almost any mode: graphic, pictorial, acoustic, object-like - some people are even able to interpret star constellations, iris patterns or coffee grounds. But we can't interpreter sets of digital numbers.
We need metaphors to translate these numbers for us. Metaphors are our access keys to the digital. They are the transcoding interfaces between human information processing and machine information processing. They connect our minds and hands with the machine, and vice versa.
Concepts as the electronic highway, cyberspace, or the global village are easily recognized as metaphors. But also that small mailbox icon on our desk top is a metaphor. And what about the desk top itself? Home? Menu? Button? Forward? Our computers are machines build of metaphors, the Internet is build of metaphors.
The Web itself is a metaphor, though a forgotten one. Who thinks of the web as a metaphor? It is so taken for granted. It connotates the vast system of html-pages, connected by hyperlinks and the http-protocol, it denotates non-linearity, decentralisation, criss-cross navigation, linking and connecting as you like. But if we take the metaphor seriously - that is: literally - we see some interesting things.
The web metaphor of course comes from the spider's web. Now this is a very centralised structure. The spider weaves it's web, according to a pre-formatted pattern, and then sits in the center, waiting for it's prey. This seems to be completely contrary to the web denotations of decentralisation, non-linearity and freedom, but after a second thought this indeed reveals something about the web's architecture. After all, the World Wide Web is based on clients (webbrowsers on our PC's) and servers (dedicated machines which store hosted websites at some provider). Servers and clients are connected in an unambiguously hierarchical manner. In that sense the web is more locally centralised than we usually acknowledge.
The web metaphor might suggest that we, the users, are the spiders, masters in the center of our self-woven web, waiting for our preys, ready to march out when something interesting hits our threads. But this only holds when we maintain a website or a webserver ourselves. As web visitors we are not the spiders, we are the prey.
I am not saying this is bad, and that we should refrain from visiting websites. And I am not saying this is good. I am saying this is good to hold in mind. Parsing metaphors gives you knowledge, knowledge about what is revealed and what is concealed. And that is good.
Now, recently a new metaphor emerged: Web 2.0. A new, revolutionary web, where YOU as a user really matter. (Apparently, and retrospectively, Web 1.0 did not really fulfill it's promises.) YOU are the person of the year according to Time magazine, because YOU do things on the web and make it better. YOU blog or write comments to other people's blogs, YOU leave messages, reviews, links and your IP-number on websites you visited, YOU create your profile and submit your list of friends to social networking sites, YOU upload your pictures to Flickr, your movies to YouTube, your bookmarks to del.icio.us, and YOU tag till you swag. YOU participate, YOU generate content, YOU remix content, YOU connect content, YOU are content. Thus YOU, and millions of other YOU's create network effects, collective intelligence, swarms of ideas, and new forms of sociality.
But, hey, where are YOU in the metaphor Web 2.0?
Well, nowhere. And again, I am not saying this is bad, and I am not saying this is good.
Let's parse this thing. The metaphor 2.0 takes up the web as a release of a software package. In the field of software manufacturing a release of version 2.0 implies:
- a new release after an older version 1.0
- a release which is not only patched but fundamentally improved
- the urge is to update/upgrade, or you will be lagging behind
- and though a software release need not necessarily be commercial, it certainly has a shade of branding and marketing.
What I like about this metaphor of 2.0 is that is focuses on software as such. Strange enough, this is rare in computing and Internet metaphors. Most metaphors indicating something digital lead our attention away from software; this one foregrounds it. That's special. What's more, I would say, this is good.
What is this software of Web 2.0, how is it different from the software of Web 1.0?
Without going deeply into technical details, we can say it is all about scripts and databases. It is about script layers on top of plain old Web 1.0 html-files - scripts which consult distributed databases with all kinds of data fragments. The more meta and website transcending these databases are, the stronger their network effects. The webscripts perpetually recollect and reassemble new dynamic compound 'pages' from these fragments. We are still thinking in the metaphor of the page, but in fact the age of the page is over. What is delivered to YOU are recollections of floating signifiers: tagclouds, lists of bookmarks and affiliations, search and review results, RSS-feeds. YOU provide the content of these databases, YOU distribute your knowledge, your traffic data and your social relations over these databases. YOU become a distributed data body without organs, a body of data fragments, wrapped in script layers. Like a mummy.
Thinking about what the software exactly does is good. Connecting this to what is does to YOU and your Culture 1.0 is also good.
What remains is the question: who are the spiders and who is the prey?

We have a touch screen telephone made by InfoGear, supposively the first device to be named "iPhone." Somehow I got the dial-up to work, and proceeded to browse my flickr account with it.
This is a 15" LCD touchscreen with a Celeron 633MHz board with 128MB RAM in a wooden case of my construction. The case also contains the PSU. The bottom part of the screen surround hinges down to allow access to the monitor controls. The button mounted on the base is the power button and indicator light.
It has no hard drive and boots using PXE from my server, then mounts its filesystem over NFS. It runs Debian Linux, xorg, XFCE4, Metacity and Firefox. The button on the left of the panel at the bottom of the screen pops up a screen keyboard.
Currently I'm a bit concerned about the amount of heat that builds up from the PSU (reaches 75°C after a while), an external PSU might be required. Also it tends to run out of RAM when viewing stuff on google video (no swap, no hard drive).
Update: I've done some work on the insides, see here. It still looks the same on the outside.
Further update: I've switched from the above described software to running KDE. More details here.

Bummer. I've just learned that they're pulling the plug on the Flock browser, which I've been using for quite a few years now. Flock was promoted as "the social browser" and came with many social networking sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, integrated. Flickr was one of these ...my main reason for choosing Flock when I found that every third mouse-click on Internet Explorer brought some sort of security threat or malware alert. Mrs B also became a Flock user, but support and maintenance ceases on April 26th, so we're having to make other arrangements.
For some time I've had Google Chrome installed as an alternative, but have never particularly cared for it. Mind you, I've never used it much or gone into it very deeply. Yesterday evening I downloaded Mozilla Firefox, but it didn't seem to like me and I uninstalled it earlier today. So it looks as though I'll have to get used to Google Chrome. I've just spent several hours "migrating" my bookmarks which, unfortunately, can't be done automatically (only from IE or Firefox). You Tube favourites were the biggest pain in the neck, but I've now got them out of the way. Pity about Flock. Worked for me.

My browser gets into this state after an average pass of my aggregated feed list (aka Friend's page on LJ).
As I'm scrolling through the page, I have Crazy Browser set to open a link of interest into a new tab via the middle mouse button. That way, I can quickly scroll through and get the stuff I want to look at open in the browser to read later.
The next generation of browsers should take this problem into account.
Another feature I'd like to see is an auto-open-URL list save feature. Let's say my system or the browser crashes... I've lost all of that work I put into unearthing all of these links. The browser should keep a running log file that knows what you've seen and always have the list ready to reload in case something should happen.
see notes for more musings.

Played with an iPod touch in the Ginza Apple Store today. Wow - this is the frst Apple product that I've really lusted for in a while. I don't know why, but i liked it a lot more than the iPhone. Perhaps the simplicity, perhaps the smaller size, maybe just my mood, but it's a remarkably functional device.

Quoting from Tim Berners-Lee:
The first web browser - or browser-editor rather - was called WorldWideWeb as, after all, when it was written in 1990 it was the only way to see the web. Much later it was renamed Nexus in order to save confusion between the program and the abstract information space (which is now spelled World Wide Web with spaces).
I wrote the program using a NeXT computer. This had the advantage that there were some great tools available -it was a great computing environment in general. In fact, I could do in a couple of months what would take more like a year on other platforms, because on the NeXT, a lot of it was done for me already. There was an application builder to make all the menus as quickly as you could dream them up. there were all the software parts to make a wysiwyg (what you see is what you get - in other words direct manipulation of text on screen as on the printed - or browsed page) word processor. I just had to add hypertext, (by subclassing the Text object)
In this shot I am making a link from the word "ATLAS" in the list of experiments to some web page.
The NeXTStep operating system put the menu for each application in the top left of the screen. The application is called WorldWideWeb. because the menus are in this block they windows are very unencumbered. A little like like the windows "start" menu later.
The Navigate menu had things like "back" and "next" and "previous". these last two were useful when you follows a link from a list of links- they meant "go back a step and then take the next link from the same page instead".
The document menu was like the "file" menu for windows I suppose. The "find" menu is fairly self-explanatory, as is "edit".
The "Link" menu you can see. "Mark all" would remember the URI of where you were. "MArk selection" would make an anchor (link target) for the selected text, give it an ID, and remember the URI of that fragment. "Link to Marked" would make a link from the current selection to whatever URI you had last marked. So making a link involved browsing to somewhere interesting, hitting Command/M, going to the document you were writing and selecting some text, and hitting Command/L. "Link to new" would create a new window, prompt for a URI (ugh - it should have made one up!) and make a link from the selection to the new document. You never saw the URIs - you could of course always find documents by following the link to them.
The "style" menu was interesting -- you could load a style sheet to define how you liked your documents rendered. You could also set the paragraph style to an HTML element's style - as lists didn't nest, the user could think of the process as styles (heading1, heading 2, list element, etc) and then this implied an HTML structure when the document was written back.
At the time, the "X" close box was unique to NeXT, before Windows copied it. The broken X in the "Tim's home page" window means that the document has been edited and not yet saved. (A "dirty" flag). As a convenience, pressing Command/Shift/S would save back all modified web pages.
WorldWideWeb was written in Objective-C. It would browse http: space and news: and ftp: spaces and local file: space, but edit only in file: space as HTTP PUT was not implemented back then.
