Marco.org: News flash

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 22:04:48 -0500

A popular blog truncated its RSS feeds to boost site pageviews. It’s like last week, when The Atlantic changed to partial-content RSS feeds. And that was like every other week, when some publisher did something that some readers didn’t like to make a few more cents.

I dislike the intrusive…

“I will point out that there’s no inherent reason why ads have to be something people are tempted to block. It’s not enough to ask readers not to block ads — you’ve got to work hard at providing ads that readers actually enjoy, or at least aren’t tempted to block.”

My Standards system now comprises 7 separate sheets, as you can see, and I use all seven of them throughout the day, Monday - Friday.

Is this a pain in the ass? Yes — sort of. It’s a pain in the ass to set up every Sunday afternoon. It’s NOT a pain in the ass to use. It’s rewarding to use.

Last week I started work on WeHaveStandards.com, which will make it easy to create your own sheets, customized for you, by you, to print out. The “Themes List” is already available on the site, if you want a preview.

The tagline for the site is “Reprogram Yourself”. You’ve spent your entire life being told what to do by your family, your schools, your employers, the media, the government. You might be a little rusty when it comes to self-programming. My goal is to create tools that help you change that (if you want to).

Shoot me an email if you want to get on the mailing list, or just keep an eye here. It’s jakelodwick+whs@gmail.com.

The Black Dog, Music For Real Airports

The Black Dog respond to Brian Eno’s ambient classic:

Perhaps the best known artistic response to airports is Brian Eno’s Music for Airports, whose purpose seems to be largely elegiac, even if conceived as an antidote to the stress of plane delays. Our performances, events and installations are a more accurate update to Eno’s work, and a to a degree, a riposte. Some members of The Black Dog were disappointed by Eno’s treatment of the subject in 1978 and have been considering how to produce a more meaningful response ever since.

I’m only an occasional Black Dog fan, but the clips sound excellent.

Now testing: Pages

You can now add static pages to your blog, with a few very useful options. Head to your blog’s Customize page and click the “Pages” menu to get started. There are currently three types of Pages you can create:

Standard Layout. Create a simple page with a title and body using your current theme.

Custom Layout. Create a page with a completely separate layout.

Redirect. Forward a route to a page on another domain. Useful for maintaining links when moving your domain name over to Tumblr.

Developers: Check out the Theme Docs for instructions on implementing the new {block:Pages} tag.

Only Nine Years Late

OMG Apple stole the iPad idea from the “Newspad” in Clarke & Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey!

When he tired of official reports and memoranda and minutes, he would plug his foolscap-sized Newspad into the ship’s information circuit and scan the latest reports from Earth. One by one he would conjure up the world’s major electronic papers.… Switching to the display unit’s short-term memory, he would hold the front page while he quickly searched the headlines and noted the items that interested him.… The postage-stamp-sized rectangle would expand until it neatly filled the screen and he could read it with comfort. When he had finished, he would flash back to the complete page and select a new subject for detailed examination.
