I am using this Winter break to put a brake on some of my habits and focus in a different way. Vitamin R is a Mac OSX collection of tools to help manage attention, maintain motivation, and Get Things Done (GTD). Highlights of this simple to use tool include voice prompts, built-in white noise, and planned breaks! Tell me what tools you use to Get Things Done.
It’s like Kittenwar, only for websites. My son worked with friends at Jelly, and three of them have just released their new website, commandshift3.com. Congratulations!!!!!!
Alexis from Semapedia started off our day after breakfast by explaning how this unconference actually works.
I learned more about the Semapedia project while at MobileCamyNYC2. Semapedia is a project to link the physical world to the virtual information world through linking Semepedia tags with a corresponding Wikipedia entry. You create tags for your real world objects, places, events, etc., connect these physical ‘objects’ with Wikipedia entries, and print out a Semapedia tag to place on your ‘object’. After you create your tags, you’ll need to install a 2D barcode reader on your cellphone to read the Tags and connect them with Wikipedia content. Or you can use the URL on the barcode to view a mobilized version of the Wikipedia page. What are your ideas how this might be useful in a library environment?
If you have played an interactive game with your cell phone and a digital screen, you were likely playing a Megaphone game. Two different games were played during MobileCampNYC2, and they gave out prizes!
MobileCampNYC2 was sponsored by Nokia. The event was free, the food fantastic, and event prizes were the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet and N95.
Wow!!! I won one playing the Noisy Noisy Hippos game. Thank you MobileCampNYC2 and Nokia. I will post some details on the N800 at a later time.
Google was present to talk about Android. Android is an open source mobile phone platform that could be used to produce a slew of new applications for mobile phones.
Spotted at MobileCamp!
