Native apps are eating web apps’ lunch. Why? We’ll look at attempts by browsers and standards bodies to close the technical gaps from “there’s an app for that” to “there’s an API for that;” examine how some recent attempts to compete with native have actually abandoned the web’s core strengths; and suggest a “Web+” path of righteousness for browser makers, standards wonks, and web designers and developers—a path that will help your website compete against native apps without sacrificing what makes the web great.

CLICK + DRAG 3.1/ THE SECOND COMING
SANTOS PARTY HOUSE
96 LAFAYETTE STREET NYC
"SURELY SOME REVELATION IS AT HAND" - W.B. Yeats, THE SECOND COMING, 1919
The pioneering "Cyber/Fetish/Gender-Hacking" party CLICK + DRAG, which ushered out the 20th Century in style and returned with a bang in 2008, held its second annual Future-Spectacle on October 17. Two of Click's founding producers - director and visual artist ROB ROTH and nightlife impresario CHI CHI VALENTI of THE JACKIE FACTORY staged this year's epic CLICK + DRAG 3.1/ THE SECOND COMING at sympatico venue SANTOS PARTY HOUSE. CLICK 3.1/ THE SECOND COMING was a two floor, evening-length epic, preserving the night's strict dress code and pansexual mix of fetishists, artists, gender-hackers and "Glam Nerds."
CLICK 3.1 was inspired by the W.B. YEATS poem THE SECOND COMING, and its themes of new gods for (often terrifying) new Ages, "Spiritus Mundi" or universal subconscious, and a post-Christian world. CLICK 3.1 celebrated gender-bending new prophets and prophetesses, and the neo-tribalism that borrows elements from a myriad of religions to create new believers and practices. CLICK + DRAG 3.1 featured multimedia works directed by Roth and installations and performances by dozens of collaborators.
CLICK 2009 highlights included trans icon and vocalist OUR LADY J, who presented GOSPEL FOR THE GODLESS with piano, choir and chadri design by GARO SPARO, gender-illuminati cabaret troupe THE PIXIE HARLOTS in THE SWITCHING HOUR, and Method Go-Go icons FALON, AMBER RAY and SEQUINETTE. The DJ roster included original Click (and SCISSOR SISTERS) DJ SAMMY JO, DJ JOHNNY DYNELL (who created the night's signature mixes for the clicknyc.com website and show) Darkwave DJs JOSH CHEON (SF) and JOHANNA CONSTANTINE, and electro DJ ANGELO.
Outside of the Town Hall theater on West 43rd Street in Manhattan, a crowd of smiling and optimistic people Friday overflowed into the one-way street. Delivery trucks and yellow taxi cabs creeped by, their engines engaged in a shouting match with Bennet Weiss, a man who bore a fleeting resemblance to the Democratic presidential candidate they were all there to support.
"We don't have billions of dollars! All we have are people wearing Bernie pins," Weiss yelled, a large black umbrella covered in Bernie Sanders campaign pins at his feet, catching drops of sweat from his brow. The Occupy Wall Street protester-turned-Sanders supporter urged the crowd to wear the pins at all times with no exception -- even in the shower -- and gave them away freely to anyone who said they didn't have enough cash to afford to pay the suggested donation.
That's the kind of populist support Sanders' campaign has steadily been attracting since the U.S. senator from Vermont formally announced his candidacy in late April. Friday was no exception, with passion-filled people who think Sanders has proved himself the worthy champion of causes they care about the most, such as income inequality, climate change, Wall Street reform and further healthcare reforms. But, perhaps most importantly, they also think he can win the White House.
"Absolutely" he can win, said Joe Trinolone, 30, a former finance industry worker from Long Island, New York, who is studying mathematics at St. Joseph's University. "I mean, he's winning right now."
Sanders, during a fundraising speech Friday, ticked through the policies he cares about and areas of change he wants to see in Washington should he become president. At each turn, his blend of outrage, optimism and sly sarcasm brought raucous cheers from the crowd of 1,100. He rejected recent Wall Street Journal criticism of the high price tag of his proposals, including making public colleges and universities free, lowering so-called real unemployment by pumping funding into infrastructure repairs for the nation’s roads and bridges and implementing a universal healthcare system.
Instead, he pointed to European nations that already have those programs. He implored the crowd to think about what many of them were already talking about: that taking on the big-money interests in the United States that impede those sorts of policy changes is a shared moral obligation.
“Welcome to the revolution,” Sanders said, describing what he believes must happen to American politics. “We can accomplish all of this and more.” And the crowd ate it up.
When asked why they support Sanders, many described his candidacy as a movement. They love his policies, and have a hard time thinking of much they don’t like about him. They especially like that he has been a consistent voice during his time in Washington. That’s a big perceived difference between Sanders and his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. Those "feeling the Bern" were split on whether they would consider voting for her if she becomes the nominee. Many were newcomers to political action but felt compelled to join the fray when they heard Sanders and his message.
“I’ve never been excited about a politician my entire life,” said Meira Marom, 34, a Brooklyn third-grade teacher with a master's degree in creative writing. When Marom started seeing social media posts about Sanders and reading about him, she decided to stop focusing her personal time on writing for herself. She now writes and publishes something about Sanders every day -- Dr. Seuss themes every Sunday, poems and parodies. “I decided this is the most worthy cause to put my rhymes to use.”
Sanders has seen an unexpected rise in the polls since he joined the race for the Democratic nomination shortly after the current national front-runner Clinton announced her candidacy. While Sanders was trailing Clinton by 21.4 percent in national averages of polls compiled by Real Clear Politics, a look at early nominating states like Iowa and New Hampshire paints a different picture of vulnerability for Clinton and strength for Sanders.
The two candidates are tied in Iowa, which constitutes a dramatic drop for Clinton and an impressive surge for Sanders, who has been distancing himself from Clinton in New Hampshire at the top of the Democratic pack since Aug. 25, when he jumped past her in the state for the first time. He currently leads there by 10.5 points.
The candidates are noticeably different in many ways, from policy prescription to fundraising strategy.
Clinton has moved leftward since announcing her candidacy, but she is still threatened by the populist appeal of Sanders, who has long championed the causes that seem to be coming into grace for the Democratic Party. While the candidates currently hold some very similar positions on issues such as immigration reform, gay rights, gun control and campaign finance reform, Sanders has been able to stake out positions to the left of Clinton on other issues that excite some vocal voters.
Among them are his strong anti-war and anti-government surveillance positions as well as his distaste for President Barack Obama's Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal. Sanders also has been a vocal critic of Wall Street and champion of financial reforms, and his stance on those issues has drawn attention to Clinton's cozy relationship with Wall Street executives and the huge paychecks she has received for speeches to large banks since leaving the U.S. State Department. For some Sanders supporters, though, the perception that Sanders has been a consistent proponent of these liberal policies, and cares about them more than winning, is key.
“It’s the message that supporting Bernie Sanders is not just voting on a horse in the race” that attracts Brian Dillon, a 28-year-old self-employed Web designer and developer for e-commerce, said Friday. Dillon has voted just one time in his life, but he has been organizing meetings to drum up support for Sanders.
Sanders's fundraising portfolio also is the reverse of Clinton's. While the former secretary of state is expected to spend somewhere north of $1 billion should she win the primary and head into the general election for 2016, the same has not been said of Sanders. Currently, Clinton has raised, through her campaign committee and super PACs associated with the campaign, $47.5 million, according to data from the Center for Responsive Politics. Sanders, on the other hand, has raised just shy of $16.5 million, according to CRP data.
Their most startling difference in fundraising, however, can be seen in the size of the donations they're receiving. The Clinton campaign received 82 percent of its donations from large contributors, and her top industry donors, not including retired people, so far have been lawyers, business services and the financial industry.
In contrast, Sanders relies much more on small donations, which are defined as donations totaling $200 or less. So far, 69 percent of his contributions have come from small donors, and the biggest industries that have given to his campaign have been from the education, legal and healthcare sectors.
Who are those small donors? The types of people who showed up Friday. Some said they donate $25 to $30 a month to Sanders. Some said they have donated several hundred dollars since he jumped into the presidential race. Nearly all of them mentioned they don't earn a ton of money personally. One in particular, Machumu Sakulira, said he donated $500 before attending Friday’s event.
There is “no way” he would support a Clinton ticket, said Sakulira, a 31-year-old senior political science student at the University at Buffalo. He got on a bus Thursday night at 11 p.m. and arrived in New York at 7 a.m. for the Sanders speech. He said he was going back Friday night. “Bernie represents my interest. My vote is a moral choice, I don’t give it to somebody who doesn’t deserve it.”

I doubt if many people will end up reading all of this and I can't say that even I would, flickr is not a blog but rather a huge image sharing site. However, I cannot go on without mentioning a few things that are going on in my life as well as covering some ground on the direction God is leading me in.
I am called to be a missionary, not a photographer, designer, or illustrator. God's leading on my life has often confirmed this calling yet here I am, with a handful of the world's best tools for photography, design, and illustration. I didn't ask for these tools, I did not seek them out, I didn't save up my money for years or even months to be able to purchase these tools. I was flat out given a license code to Adobe CS4 Web Premium, which just "happened" to be purchased close enough to the release to CS5 that I was given a free upgrade. I'm not a web designer, I don't know much HTML, CSS, or Javascript, I didn't even fully know how to use Microsoft Paint much less Photoshop CS5 Extended. Here I was, minding my own business, pursuing missions and my own slight interest in photography when God said, "Here are the industry standard tools for manipulating and creating art, what will you, as my son, create with these tools and the hidden talents and abilities I have given you?" Create!?! I don't even know how to use these tools! "Learn!" So I learned, through many hours of tutorials and just plain fooling in photoshop I learned the tool, I figured it out, yet I wasn't creating anything, I was just messing around. So I joined flickr in an attempt to learn and eventually show off my skills I had learned. Well, God had other plans, not two days after I joined and went pro who would friend me but the one and only Brandon Peters. O joy, my first contact! I visited his stream and as God would have it he was a strong brother in Christ, using his stream not to learn or display his work mainly, but rather to first and foremost glorify His Father in heaven. Oops, embarrassing moment, excuse me while I blush for a moment, I guess that's what I should be doing myself. Okay well, I suppose I can do that, I can use my stream to glorify God, posting my "amazing" pictures and then say a little something about God. I was met with a small amount of success, everyone was saying how "neat" and "amazing" my images were, how "talented" I was. It went right to my head, as so many things do, and I began to think perhaps I had something to offer the world, for a price. Well then I got invited to post on the Christian blog www.INSPIKS.com, offering my few tutorials and few devotional style posts for the INSPIKS world to enjoy. That got me thinking, if I was given all of this, these computer tools, the computer, the cameras, the lenses, the time, the talents, and contributed so little to the acquiring of these gifts, why do I expect to receive anything? I quickly shoved the question out of my mind and have spent the past few months attempting to build a small business around my work. Yet those who were interested in having my do work for them were from church, how could I charge my own brothers and sisters in Christ for something that I would not be able to do for them outside of God's immense blessing?
The lights began to come on. I have been given a gift in my photography, design and illustration but not for me to get rich and famous from. Yet here I am, a few weeks away from launching my photography website from which I will charge customers for downloads of my images. Not only that but I am in the process of building a business around my t-shirt designs, attempting to sell them, either as my own designs on my own shirts or to larger companies like www.kerusso.com or www.threadless.com. Why? How is it right to ask for money online or from large companies when it would be wrong for me to demand the same from my close friends and fellow believers? There are several answers to that question and I would like to share one with a story.
There once were two men who were both equally gifted in healing, even from the time they could utter a prayer for healing, those who were sick or injured were healed within 3 days of their prayers. They both got older, they both got married, they both needed work, they both set up hospitals where they would go around the building praying for their patients. They both charged for their services, not much, but enough to provide for their families and a few comforts. They both tithed excessively, giving thousands of dollars each year to various ministries and missionaries. Yet the older they got, the richer they got and the more they craved for more, they went to church less, and began charging more for their services of healing. They were celebrities, invited to all the major parties and social gatherings. Then one night, they both had the same dream, a boy, torn, dirty and ragged, with little clothes and even fewer teeth was standing on a dirty street. He was walking towards them, slowly, when all of a sudden he fell, coughing, wheezing, dying. At that instant both men awoke, sweaty but relieved that it had only been a dream. The vividness of that dream did not diminish on iota for the rest of the week, and Saturday night it came again, more real and horrific then the first time. Sunday morning they both arose, both got dressed, one for church, and the other for a party with the mayor. The one rededicated his life to Christ that morning at church, the other got drunk and forgot all his troubles. The next day they both went back to work, the prices remained the same for their work, yet for the one man, in joy and cheerfulness he gave it all away, he kept back for himself not one single penny, yet for the other man, he stopped giving at all, holding it all back in his vain pursuit for more. The one man soon gave up his practice as a doctor and in great joy left everything and with his equally ecstatic wife left for Africa where he might be able to be of some use for the Kingdom of Christ. The other became exceedingly wealthy, he cared nothing for God yet still, his gift of healing remained so he continued to stockpile wealth and fame. Many years later when both men were old and nearing the end of their lives the one was working alone, having lost his wife a few year before to cancer, yet still offering up prayers for the healing for the lost people of Africa. The other had many friends and the best care. He had long since given up his doctoring, pursuing the more enjoyable pursuits of retirement; cruising, golfing, touring and the like. He too had lost his wife many year ago to depression but had since remarried several times. Then, quite suddenly, both became very ill and died. Both left this earth with just as much as they came with, nothing, yet they did not arrive at heaven's gates empty handed for both had a record on their souls of how they had lived their lives. The one was received into heavens joys with trumpet sound and much great rejoicing to rule the heavens and the earth along with His glorious Master and Redeemer, having stood firm. The other too was received, but not into the joys or glories of heaven, for that same Lord who had greeted with love and overwhelming affection the one, looked with disgust and even hatred upon the other. "Sir," said the man, "did I not heal millions in prayer to you? Why will you not now grant me access to this excellent place as my deeds deserve?" The Lord replied, "I never knew you, I've never heard your voice, your feet have never touched my throne room, indeed your head has never rested upon my bosom, and your sins where never paid for, until today, depart from me you worker of iniquity for today your actions have spoken to the condition of your heart, that you were never saved." In great anger and hatred the man rushed upon the Master in order to force his way into heaven but the Master rose quickly and with lightning speed thrust his great sword into his belly and that wicked man fell, deep into the abyss.
Great truths require radical change. For those of us who are truly saved we will never be satisfied until we have done all to please and glorify our Lord and Savior. We will be deep in prayer, deep in our evaluations and constantly repenting of the times we fail. God does not seek for perfection, He does not look for talent or ability, He seeks for worship. We all worship something, we all have a god, whether it be money, ourselves, our friends, our talents, our equipment or the One true God, the Creator of heaven and earth. Yet only God is big enough to bear the weight of our worship, any other thing will bend and break under the weight of our worship. Worship money and will never be satisfied, you will always want more. Worship yourself and you will perish, unsatisfied and bitterly disappointed. Worship friends and they will disappoint, die, or betray you. Worship your talents and they will never be sufficient and you will spend your days trying to be the best, be better, and will die having come up short. Worship your equipment and you will never have enough, always seeking to upgrade you will find yourself always looking and longing for the new best toy. Worship the One true God and you will find Him to be a strong and mighty tower, worthy and strong, able to bear it and return your greatest joy and satisfaction, more then you ever could have dreamed of.
So then, we must worship God, and if we do will will find our greatest joy. Money is not evil, lots of money is not evil, it is the heart of the person who has money that can choose to use it for evil or good. I can choose to use my last twenty dollars to buy a pack of cigarettes, or I can relinquish my claim on a fortune of $5 million dollars by seeking through prayer on whom to give it to. Money in the hands of a believer who is seeking to honor God in all things can be a tremendously useful and blessed thing. I want to be that person, able to be the conduit through which God can bless those whom he desires to. Not laying claim to anything as "mine", but "His", under His control and use, realizing that nothing on this earth is rightfully mine for I came here with nothing and will leave with only a record of how I lived in the light of the reality of who God is.
So back to the question. How is it right to ask for money online or from large companies when it would be wrong for me to demand the same from my close friends and fellow believers? Well, the answer for me is that I would like to use my talents and abilities to glorify God. To create art and sell it that I might have money that has been used for unrighteousness, the wealth of the world, and redeem it to be used for righteousness, to give it away to be used by God to multiply a hundred fold that many might come to know the Savior by appropriate use of these resources. That through prayer I might be the wise steward who took what was entrusted to him and multiplied it to the honor and glory of the Master. At the same time however not holding back my talents or gifts merely because someone cannot pay for them. Freely I have been given too, freely should I give. What about friends, family and brothers and sisters in Christ? Well, keep it to prayer but for me, how can I demand a profit from a believer and expect that to glorify God? Its hard to run a successful business this way, but I'd rather fail at business and be a success in the eyes of my Father then gain all riches of the Kings and have the frown on the blessed face of my Redeemer to look forward too.
Well this has been long yet I have much more to say so I will try and split it up over a few more posts. Again, not too many folks will get to the bottom of this post but if you have, then thanks for taking the time to listen to the ramblings of a young guy trying to seek to do all things to glorify his Master.

For some Sanders supporters, though, the perception that Sanders has been a consistent proponent of these liberal policies, and cares about them more than winning, is key.
“It’s the message that supporting Bernie Sanders is not just voting on a horse in the race” that attracts Brian Dillon, a 28-year-old self-employed Web designer and developer for e-commerce, said Friday. Dillon has voted just one time in his life, but he has been organizing meetings to drum up support for Sanders.
Sanders's fundraising portfolio also is the reverse of Clinton's. While the former secretary of state is expected to spend somewhere north of $1 billion should she win the primary and head into the general election for 2016, the same has not been said of Sanders. Currently, Clinton has raised, through her campaign committee and super PACs associated with the campaign, $47.5 million, according to data from the Center for Responsive Politics. Sanders, on the other hand, has raised just shy of $16.5 million, according to CRP data.
Their most startling difference in fundraising, however, can be seen in the size of the donations they're receiving. The Clinton campaign received 82 percent of its donations from large contributors, and her top industry donors, not including retired people, so far have been lawyers, business services and the financial industry.
In contrast, Sanders relies much more on small donations, which are defined as donations totaling $200 or less. So far, 69 percent of his contributions have come from small donors, and the biggest industries that have given to his campaign have been from the education, legal and healthcare sectors.
Who are those small donors? The types of people who showed up Friday. Some said they donate $25 to $30 a month to Sanders. Some said they have donated several hundred dollars since he jumped into the presidential race. Nearly all of them mentioned they don't earn a ton of money personally. One in particular, Machumu Sakulira, said he donated $500 before attending Friday’s event.
There is “no way” he would support a Clinton ticket, said Sakulira, a 31-year-old senior political science student at the University at Buffalo. He got on a bus Thursday night at 11 p.m. and arrived in New York at 7 a.m. for the Sanders speech. He said he was going back Friday night. “Bernie represents my interest. My vote is a moral choice, I don’t give it to somebody who doesn’t deserve it.”

Outside of the Town Hall theater on West 43rd Street in Manhattan, a crowd of smiling and optimistic people Friday overflowed into the one-way street. Delivery trucks and yellow taxi cabs creeped by, their engines engaged in a shouting match with Bennet Weiss, a man who bore a fleeting resemblance to the Democratic presidential candidate they were all there to support.
"We don't have billions of dollars! All we have are people wearing Bernie pins," Weiss yelled, a large black umbrella covered in Bernie Sanders campaign pins at his feet, catching drops of sweat from his brow. The Occupy Wall Street protester-turned-Sanders supporter urged the crowd to wear the pins at all times with no exception -- even in the shower -- and gave them away freely to anyone who said they didn't have enough cash to afford to pay the suggested donation.
That's the kind of populist support Sanders' campaign has steadily been attracting since the U.S. senator from Vermont formally announced his candidacy in late April. Friday was no exception, with passion-filled people who think Sanders has proved himself the worthy champion of causes they care about the most, such as income inequality, climate change, Wall Street reform and further healthcare reforms. But, perhaps most importantly, they also think he can win the White House.
"Absolutely" he can win, said Joe Trinolone, 30, a former finance industry worker from Long Island, New York, who is studying mathematics at St. Joseph's University. "I mean, he's winning right now."
Sanders, during a fundraising speech Friday, ticked through the policies he cares about and areas of change he wants to see in Washington should he become president. At each turn, his blend of outrage, optimism and sly sarcasm brought raucous cheers from the crowd of 1,100. He rejected recent Wall Street Journal criticism of the high price tag of his proposals, including making public colleges and universities free, lowering so-called real unemployment by pumping funding into infrastructure repairs for the nation’s roads and bridges and implementing a universal healthcare system.
Instead, he pointed to European nations that already have those programs. He implored the crowd to think about what many of them were already talking about: that taking on the big-money interests in the United States that impede those sorts of policy changes is a shared moral obligation.
“Welcome to the revolution,” Sanders said, describing what he believes must happen to American politics. “We can accomplish all of this and more.” And the crowd ate it up.
When asked why they support Sanders, many described his candidacy as a movement. They love his policies, and have a hard time thinking of much they don’t like about him. They especially like that he has been a consistent voice during his time in Washington. That’s a big perceived difference between Sanders and his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. Those "feeling the Bern" were split on whether they would consider voting for her if she becomes the nominee. Many were newcomers to political action but felt compelled to join the fray when they heard Sanders and his message.
“I’ve never been excited about a politician my entire life,” said Meira Marom, 34, a Brooklyn third-grade teacher with a master's degree in creative writing. When Marom started seeing social media posts about Sanders and reading about him, she decided to stop focusing her personal time on writing for herself. She now writes and publishes something about Sanders every day -- Dr. Seuss themes every Sunday, poems and parodies. “I decided this is the most worthy cause to put my rhymes to use.”
Sanders has seen an unexpected rise in the polls since he joined the race for the Democratic nomination shortly after the current national front-runner Clinton announced her candidacy. While Sanders was trailing Clinton by 21.4 percent in national averages of polls compiled by Real Clear Politics, a look at early nominating states like Iowa and New Hampshire paints a different picture of vulnerability for Clinton and strength for Sanders.
The two candidates are tied in Iowa, which constitutes a dramatic drop for Clinton and an impressive surge for Sanders, who has been distancing himself from Clinton in New Hampshire at the top of the Democratic pack since Aug. 25, when he jumped past her in the state for the first time. He currently leads there by 10.5 points.
The candidates are noticeably different in many ways, from policy prescription to fundraising strategy.
Clinton has moved leftward since announcing her candidacy, but she is still threatened by the populist appeal of Sanders, who has long championed the causes that seem to be coming into grace for the Democratic Party. While the candidates currently hold some very similar positions on issues such as immigration reform, gay rights, gun control and campaign finance reform, Sanders has been able to stake out positions to the left of Clinton on other issues that excite some vocal voters.
Among them are his strong anti-war and anti-government surveillance positions as well as his distaste for President Barack Obama's Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal. Sanders also has been a vocal critic of Wall Street and champion of financial reforms, and his stance on those issues has drawn attention to Clinton's cozy relationship with Wall Street executives and the huge paychecks she has received for speeches to large banks since leaving the U.S. State Department.

While the former secretary of state is expected to spend somewhere north of $1 billion should she win the primary and head into the general election for 2016, the same has not been said of Sanders. Currently, Clinton has raised, through her campaign committee and super PACs associated with the campaign, $47.5 million, according to data from the Center for Responsive Politics. Sanders, on the other hand, has raised just shy of $16.5 million, according to CRP data.
Their most startling difference in fundraising, however, can be seen in the size of the donations they're receiving. The Clinton campaign received 82 percent of its donations from large contributors, and her top industry donors, not including retired people, so far have been lawyers, business services and the financial industry.
In contrast, Sanders relies much more on small donations, which are defined as donations totaling $200 or less. So far, 69 percent of his contributions have come from small donors, and the biggest industries that have given to his campaign have been from the education, legal and healthcare sectors.
Who are those small donors? The types of people who showed up Friday. Some said they donate $25 to $30 a month to Sanders. Some said they have donated several hundred dollars since he jumped into the presidential race. Nearly all of them mentioned they don't earn a ton of money personally. One in particular, Machumu Sakulira, said he donated $500 before attending Friday’s event.
There is “no way” he would support a Clinton ticket, said Sakulira, a 31-year-old senior political science student at the University at Buffalo. He got on a bus Thursday night at 11 p.m. and arrived in New York at 7 a.m. for the Sanders speech. He said he was going back Friday night. “Bernie represents my interest. My vote is a moral choice, I don’t give it to somebody who doesn’t deserve it.”

Case Study - Superheats Broadband - Digital Scotland
Tom Madden - web designer
Is now very happy have superheats broadband at his West Lothian home.
Tom Madden
Tom is Head of Development at D8, a design agency in Glasgow. He lives with his partner Ann and Ann’s 18 year old son, Lewis, in the village of Bridgehouse in West Lothian. He often works from his home office in a wooden cabin at the bottom of the garden, overlooking the pond. Now they have a fibre broadband connection, Tom is able to work from home just as effectively as from the office, boosting his productivity and improving his quality of life.
Staying ahead
Tom says: “I can now rely on broadband speeds of 36 Mbps download, which is more than ten times faster than the speeds we received before. That makes a tremendous difference to the way I can work from home. For example, I recently had to download a huge file from a client that would previously have taken 24 hours! With the fibre broadband connection, it took no longer than two hours, which meant that I could get on with the project and deliver the client what he wanted faster. Design is a competitive industry and speed helps us stay ahead.
“Having fibre broadband will make an even more dramatic difference in winter. On days when it is snowing or there are transport problems, I can continue working from home, without any loss of productivity, rather than try to battle in to the office.”
Productive video calls
“Fibre broadband is also making it so much easier to use Skype. We frequently use video calls to speak to clients, but if I joined a call from home before, it would often break up. Now it is perfect quality. I often want to show a client a website when on a video call but I used to hesitate to do this as it would make the quality even worse. Now, I can show websites and share slides on a video call, and it makes no difference at all to the crystal clear video and audio. This makes it so much easier to have productive meetings with clients over Skype.”
Connecting instantly
Tom adds: “I can also rely on instant connection to the office servers via our Virtual Private Network (VPN). This means I can access all the office files whenever I need them. In the past, if I was going to work from home, I had to plan it in advance and take the files home with me. Now, I do not have to worry about that and can always access whatever I need from the office as well as respond speedily to any unexpected client demands.
“One time I really notice the improvement in speeds when I am making amendments to a website. Now, these copy to the server instantly whereas before there would be a delay of a few minutes each time. Whenever that happened, I would lose concentration and it had a significant impact on productivity overall. Now I can just crack through the work.
Music throughout the house
Tom continues: “As well as changing the way I can work from home, fibre broadband is making a difference to the way we live. Ann and I love music and now we will be able to install a Sonos system and enjoy multi-room music, controlled from our mobile phone or tablet. We can pick music from Spotify and create exactly the mood we want throughout the house and office. For example, I find certain types of music help me concentrate and work faster. Now all this will be at our fingertips.
Connecting all the family
“We are also making full use of catch up TV on iPlayer now, which we could hardly use at all before, because it kept buffering. And, especially with a teenager in the household, it is wonderful to be able to rely on the same fast broadband regardless of how many of us are online at the same time. Lewis is a big user of social media and YouTube. He is interested in Anime, a Japanese film animation style, and he talks to friends and other Anime enthusiasts around the world. So he is really delighted we have the fibre connection as we used to ask him to get off the internet, if we needed the bandwidth for something else. You can imagine his frustration and how pleased we all are that this is in the past.
“It’s also fantastic to be able to use Skype to talk to Ann’s daughter, who is travelling in India. It makes all the difference to be able to have long face to face conversations and even see the hotels she is staying in – and all at no cost!
Tom concludes: “Fibre broadband is making a huge difference to my ability to work from home as well as improving the quality of life for everyone in my family.”

I'm a web designer and when one of my customers says to me that my work is not good I modify it. If it is neccessary I start from scratch again. I don't say "ehi it's your fault, you have to get used to it!".
The point here is that we are your customers. We paid for a good product and you transformed it into a big shameful clone.
We are not required to "get used to it".
You have to get used to the idea that you did a nasty work.
And you must fix it restoring the previous Flickr version.
This is the only way.
Don't think you can fix the fact that your new Flickr is slow. You can't fix it because it depends on the local bandwidth. The bigger images are, the greater is the probability bandwidth will not support your website.
In your new layout images are insanely big. Way too big even for fast bandwidth connections.
That's a fact. To fix it you have to change your layout.
And above all you can't think people can get used to see their photos arbitrarily cropped, placed on an ugly black background and crushed together in a nonsense crowd.
How can you tell 170000 users "pay for all this mess even if you think it's the most awful and slowest social network ever created "?
Even if they're not professional photographers (I have heard that they don't exist anymore) they're still your customers.
You, Flickr/Yahoo CEO, are treating us and our work like garbage.
CHANGE YOUR MIND NOW or you'll loose old and new users.
For me I'm not going to renew my pro accout. And I'm thinking about migrating to a more decent place.
If you don't want to hear our right complaints maybe you can still count money in your pocket.

The students will learn from the actual production of a photojournalistic publication.

- Students need to have a decent camera; a SLR or equivalent. The university does have a few that can be checked out. Film cameras are OK, but processing costs are the student’s responsibility. All projects must be turned in as digital files, as well as all photos from a student’s shoot. Most film processors can burn you a CD with digital copies of your prints. You may also use the darkrooms at the Capital Area Career Center under the direction of lab assistants. See your instructor for details.
- All photos can be uploaded to the class Flickr site: www.flickr.com/groups/benedictinephotojournalism335/ (click to join the group) this is so we can learn from each other and get the experience of actually producing something.

Being able to critique other photographers work and to benefit from others who critique your work is most critical. You must also have your original projects and photographs available for critique during class on your camera media card or USB device.
