Around Ireland is a SXSW Web Awards 2007 Finalist!

Around Ireland : A Mobile Documentation Project is a finalist in the "Student" category of the SXSW Web Awards 2007!

I am very excited. Simon said via email, "FANTASTIC". Shonagh wrote, "such brilliant news about the website! ". Jasper emailed, "hooray for us."

In case you missed my blogging about the Around Ireland project this last summer, here is a summary from the About page:

Around Ireland is a mobile documentary project completed as part of the MSc in Multmedia Systems at Trinity College Dublin. We have travelled the 32 counties of Ireland, gathering video and images on mobile phones over the course of the Summer of 2006. The mobile content is sent directly to our site, Aroundireland.net from camera-equipped mobile phones in real time.
Rather than sending an image to just one other individual via MMS, Around Ireland aims to act as a central respository for mobile photographic content, allowing visitors to browse submitted mobile pictures from all over the island, geotagged according to location.

A big thanks to SXSW Interactive and see y'all at the 10th Annual SXSW Web Awards on Sun. March 10, 2007 at the Downtown Hilton, Austin, Texas!

BLDGBLOG on Cold War Chemical & Radioactive materials offshore dumping : I have know for years of the dumping of barrels of radioactive waste in the Santa Monica Bay, but not that it was common off the coast of California. Note to self: stop eating Dungeness crab caught in California.

Wilkins, unhappy with the Antarctica, is leaving for open ocean.
Small group(s) of hardy, explorers colonize world.

Preach it, brother! - "I don't do much of anything that elicits the response: 'I never saw a white man do that. Good for you. Your people must be so proud.'" - Milton on white man's burden.

Unique bird of the day: Saw a crow pulling a part a small hawk on top of a rusted metal oil pump/rig in Long Beach today. Was wondering if the hawk was dead or alive when the crow got it? Due to driving by at 45 mph, did not take a photo.

Thomas Hawk on PhotoWalking: I may not agree with TH on all his points, but here is very good guide on how to take daily photos everywhere you go. The main point is to take a camera with you at all times, big or small, and take photos.

The SixtyOne: The Music version of Digg. Have you used it? Added songs or got inspired by SixtyOne?

SVN: While I hate SubVersion with a passion, C. Michael Pilato has been kind enough to put up a pdf version of his O'Reilly book online. I will try to reconcile myself with SVN. Maybe. Maybe not. Darn it all, I like FTP!
How Windows Users are Conditioned: Tom Negrino sums up: "It was like a tire puncture or something; just one of those things that happen. And that's what I find so pernicious about Windows. It's conditioned tens of millions of people to the idea that computers are unreliable and a huge pain in the ass. And that things that go wrong just can't be helped."

Ernie & Royce on Working From Home
Ben Brown on why he quit Facebook: "I don’t want the Internet to be the bastard child of basic cable and Walmart. I want the Internet to be something better, where control of the media really is democratized and where I can truly find content and services that are crafted with me and people like me in mind." (Ms. Jen says - Preach it, brother!)
