Railswaycon is over
May 28, 2009And I took some notes. A larger post will follow here and on the imedo devblog
Overall it was fun. Good presentations, but the rooms were to small and there were not enough powerplugs.

Why do people pay for stuff they could get for free?
March 15, 2009Kevin Kelly:
When copies are super abundant, they become worthless.
When copies are super abundant, stuff which can’t be copied becomes scarce and valuable.When copies are free, you need to sell things which can not be copied.
A quote from: Kevin Kelly – Better than free

Youtube HD
February 7, 2009Seems I’m late to the party but youtube enabled HD. So if the content was uploaded in High definition (HD) to youtube there is now a small link beneath the video which allows you to watch youtube videos in HD.
But HD is in this case not really HD, but a slightly better resolution than their standard youtube videos.
I like the higher quality videos that youtube hd enables! Well done youtube!

The Space Game
February 7, 2009There is a new game coming soon by the casual collective guys which is right up my alley! It’s called “The Space Game” and features mining of asteroid belts, building supply lines and defending against space pirates! So basically your typical towerdefense mechanics in space and with a few twists added. It looks pretty sweet and should be a lot of fun. I guess I will be all over this! ^^
Here is the blogpost about The Space Game and here is the video they created which shows you some gameplay footage:

Games I play at the moment
January 28, 2009Just got back into WoW a while ago, but now I also started to play some browsergames again. Basically both typical build & raid games.
First I started (for the first time ever) to play the famous OGame (by Gameforge) and boy you can really tell how old this is. I hope the new UI is coming soon to all the servers, because the old one is HELL! Javascripts not working and what have you. The new UI looks quite nice though. Can’t wait
The second one, which has a much better UI from a usability standpoint for now is space-pioneers. I played this game extensively before and I know its potential to eat up my sparetime, but it’s fun
All this playing and also watching some videos of last year’s Eve Fanfest got back to working on my own little browserbased game again. I really got quite far this time around, but there’s nothing to see just yet 
If only I had more time on my hands and Photoshop on my mac *hint hint*

The World of Warcraft has me, again
January 5, 2009Yeah, what can I say … the hype won me back.
Got back and finally hit 40 with my warrior! Plate Armor at last!
They give you a mount with 35 now, so traveling is not that a big pain in the ass anymore.My trusty Kodo steed looks funny though riding the pavements in ogrimar. I just hope it doesn’t fall over.
The graphics got an overhaul as well and I am thinking of getting a new graphics card now ^^ Bumped the graphics up and my card almost died, haha. Looks nice though.
I also got back with my hunter. It’s still very low, but extremely easy and fun to play and I deal alot of damage with my pet. It’s much easier to level than my warrior :/ If I knew that earlier I would have had stuck to Wow longer altogether.
Also watched 10 Days of Knight on Project Lore. Man, this Death Knight quest chain looks like alot of fun. Unfortunately I need to have burning crusade and wrath of the lich king installed to roll a death knight. Well, take all my money blizzard and make Warcraft 4 an awesome game

When is mediocre good enough?
December 6, 2008That is the question.
Do you rush out and deliver product eventhough you know that it needs more polish? Do you use your customers / users as beta testers because you ran out of time polishing?
Blizzard, Ning, Apple delivered when the product was amazing. They earned their customers respect and are doing great. The famous Blizzard statement: “It’s ready when it’s ready.”
How about you? Do you want to lead the pack with amazing product or be a mediocre wannabe?
You decide.

Kevin Rose on Social Media’s Future
November 21, 2008Digg – founder Kevin Rose talks about digg’s recommendation engine and how to improve the user’s engagement in digg and other social media sites like reddit. Some interesting insights. The recommendation engine is written in Python and not PHP. Maybe they were inspired by this book: Programming Collective Intelligence?
