…the web is moving beyond being a thing of sites and is becoming a thing of APIs and services…our data is escaping the boundaries of any particular website…we are soon going to see it escaping the boundaries of the web itself - and of all those glowing rectangles.”
“…all technologies grow out of previous technologies. The more technology there is around, the more there is to invent with.”
“We’re solving the problems we created. Tinkering at the edge of things….We’re looking for ways to escape this way of thinking, but we’re just encrusting the old model with new sub-assemblies.”
“There’s something primal and irresistible about physical/analogue technologies…Physical stuff reaches us in more fundamental ways than more stuff on screens.”
“From: Representing the world on the web…To: Embedding the web in the world.

‘While taking snaps of Japan from the International Space Station in June, an astronaut (Nasa doesn’t know which) spotted Sarychev Peak erupting in the Kuril Islands. “You can see an instant, short-lived ‘pileus’ cloud forming as the eruption pushes the air above the volcano rapidly upwards, causing it to cool,” says Will Stefanov, a senior geoscientist at Nasa’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.’

“Infractor is an interactive, artistic application that has been developed for a Multitouch-table. It is based on the information of the New York Times Online. The information can be searched, filtered and read by putting physical objects on the interactive surface. Infractor has been developed and designed by a group of students of the Potsdam University of Applied Sciences.”

“Web 2.0 is about finding meaning in user-generated data, and turning that meaning into real-time user-facing services. ‘Web-Squared’ takes that same concept to real-time sensor data.”
“We learn by ‘context accumulation’. Future applications will do so too.”

You know that dream you carry around with you each day?
It’s kinda important.
Wasn’t it what you were put on planet earth to do?
They say everyone has a calling, can your still hear it?
Doesn’t it eat away at you? That treadmill you are on, did it ever get too much?
Did you ever wonder what it would be like to do your thing?
Did you ever feel time was passing you by?
Just how many days have you left before your last?
Did you ever wonder about stuff like that?
Did you ask yourself ‘what was stopping you?’
There is never a right time.
You will be too old. Too young. Too something or other.
When was last time you took a risk?
Did you remember how alive it made you feel?
There are no guarantees of success.
It’s not called a leap of faith for nothing.
It’s not too late, honest.
Jump.
You might fall.
You might fly.
