Sat 03.22.08 - File under WTF!?!?!?!?!?!

After spending over 3 hours last night cursing the demise of Lifeblog the mobile app and attempting to get the new Nokia Share Online 3.0 to recognize the Atom script on this blog to no avail, today for no known reason whatsoever, Share Online decided to post this FULL SIZED photo of the Irvine Tollway Bridge over the 91 Freeway on is own volition. Thanks Share Online for not posting when I spent 3 hours trying to get you to participate and then posting out of nowhere on the freeway today. WTF?!?!?!?!?!

Despite its capricious ways, the good news is that Share Online 3.0 will post to Movable Type 4.1 blogs with no extra hacks. Yeah!

Now just to refine the process....

Update from Sun 03.23.08 : Since Charlie asked, I have created a how to / tutorial on getting Nokia Share Online 3.0 to work with one's Movable Type blog.

Uh, how did you do it? Did you make your own config file?

I haven't looked at Share Online at all, and have never really used Nokia's lifeblog as anything more than a nifty timeline view of my life over the past couple of months. I have however blogged quite simply from my N95 using the fantastic Shozu (www.shozu.com). Besides allowing you to submit photos and videos from your device to a ridiculous number of destinations (including various blogging platforms, email addresses and many more) it makes really intelligent use of data. You decide which connections you want it to use for uploading data, and in what order to prefer connections (so you could set your WiFi connection as preferred but use your 3G as a backup). You may also set Shozu to upload either original resolution or scaled down versions of media. Finally, it will also only upload items once, even if you want to post them to multiple destinations, saving you a bundle in data charges.

Tidbits

  • The LA Times reports on Venus figurine sheds light on origins of art by early humans : A 40,000-year-old figurine of a voluptuous woman carved from mammoth ivory and excavated from a cave in southwestern Germany is the oldest known example of three-dimensional or figurative representation of humans and sheds new light on the origins of art... The intricately carved headless figure is at least 5,000 years older than previous examples and dates from shortly after modern humans arrived in Europe. But it already exhibits many of the characteristics of fertility figurines carved millenniums later.

    Candorville on Torture : Just Following Orders, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, and best of all, Comparing Our Torture to Japan's Torture?

  • Here Comes the Sun : On blessing the sun and the moon. (via Metafilter)

    Larger than Life in London: It's invariably the little things, the unconsidered, off the cuff, in passing, unrehearsed things that snag our attention, and seem to be telling of the bigger things. In the case of Barack Obama's first visit to London and the Group of 20 conference to save the endangered habitat of bankers and real estate salesmen, it was the handshake with the bobby that seemed to be emblematic. In a forest of waving palms, this handshake meant more.

    And to continue the newspaper links, Jeremy Keith on Inkosaurs : Whenever I see stalwarts of a dying business model rail against Google in this way, I can't help but think that what they're really angry with is the web itself.

    Steven B. Johnson's Old Growth Media and the Future of the News : The metaphors we use to think about changes in media have a lot to tell us about the particular moment we're in. McLuhan talked about media as an extension of our central nervous system, and we spent forty years trying to figure out how media was re-wiring our brains. The metaphor you hear now is different, more E.O. Wilson than McLuhan: the ecosystem. I happen to think that this is a useful way of thinking about what's happening to us now: today's media is in fact much closer to a real-world ecosystem in the way it circulates information than it is like the old industrial, top-down models of mass media.
  • Clay Shirky on Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable : "When a 14 year old kid can blow up your business in his spare time, not because he hates you but because he loves you, then you got a problem."

    Rick Steves interview on Salon.com : Americans, travel, empire, Iran, and prohibition. Good stuff
