Tagging in the real, meatspace world is an urban, semi-artistic endeavor which entails scrawling your handle all over public surfaces. Tagging in the wired universe is, of course, a folksonomy, a means of categorizing and organizing ideas, terms, things and themes. Semapedia brings the two together again, so to speak. Here’s how it works: you choose a wiki article with a real world connection. Copy the article’s URL and paste it into the Semapedia form (on the site’s homepage). Semapedia will churn out custom made tags available as a printable PDF. Print out the tags and attach them according to the content they link to (in some cases, it’d be wise to ask for permission, or simply do your deed at under the cover of nightfall). Cell phone users will be able access the wiki info by simply pointing their screens at the tag (provided they first download a 2D Barcode Reader for their phone). It’s tagging 2.0 style.
In their own words;
“Our goal is to connect the virtual and physical world by bringing the
right information from the internet to the relevant place in physical
space. To accomplish this, we invite you to create Semapedia-Tags which
are in fact cellphone-readable physical hyperlinks.”
Paranoid Top model. Passed along in a blip...
It's a quick- mix of some footage I shot on the way home with the boat.
At the NDSM were our office is at we have some very nice neighbors. They run the King Shilo Sound System.
Summer is coming and they are building new speakers. I made a short video-portrait with my telphone.
Enjoy!
About ten days ago I received a little credit card alike voucher from FON. I putted the thing in the back pocket of my favorite jeans. When I checked my pockets before I put the jeans in to the washing machine I found the FON voucher. I immediately filled in the form on my FON user zone and threw away the card. Today, about seven days later my trousers are still not washed but I received my “LA FONERA”. It also made me remember that I have to do the laundry. In about 15 minutes the “thing” was installed in the darkest place in my house to stay there forever… and the washing machine is peacefully spinning, washing my favorite jeans.
YeSsz... it was time for a change. Those who are familiar with the looks of homebase will be surprised how it looks now! In Januari somewhere we will have a new year's drink in our fantastic place.
