Shared SF Signal: MIND MELD: SF Books That Will Stand The Test of Time.
Did you ever read an old science fiction book that felt dated? Maybe the predictions were way off base, or maybe or they were a reflection of the times in which they were written. Yet some books are considered timeless classics, which makes one wonder which of today’s books will fall into that category. So we turned to this week’s and asked them

El Anuario Think EPI continúa creciendo
Anuario Think EPI 2010 Un año más hemos podido disfrutar en verano de la salida del Anuario Think EPI 2010 que reúne las noticias y artículos publicados en 2009. Esta nueva edición destaca sobre todo por una novedad: en cada agrupación temática se incluye un informe o estado de la cuestión, con información detallada y un resumen de fuentes de información. Con ello, creo que el Anuario se acerca más a su objetivo: el análisis de tendencias en Información y Documentación.
El abanico de temas tratados es muy amplio: la reforma del modelo universitario, la evolución de los congresos profesionales, la apertura de...

La Wikipedia y las universidades, ¿una deuda pendiente?
Por: Sergio Rondan para BiteliaLa Wikipedia se ha convertido en el manual de consultas del día a día para muchos de los internautas. Allí cientos de personas se dan cita para encontrar cualquier tipo de información que necesiten, ya sea por pura curiosidad o para trabajos escolares. Es decir, la Wikipedia reemplazo a la vieja enciclopedia Encarta con la cual muchos de nosotros realizábamos tareas para la escuela.Pero lo importante no fue el surgimiento en sí, sino la puesta en marcha de un modelo de conocimiento colaborativo, comunitario, libre y gratuito para el todo el mundo. Esto ya existía desde que Stallmancreo...

And still Obama wants to raise taxes!
Higher taxes hurt everyone. It particularly hurts the little guy. But that's what FDR did too during the Great Depression of the 1930s-1940s. His little tax increments, like on entertainment or candy, hurt the poorest the most. Now Obama wants to kill investment. Folks, the richest can always go elsewhere with their money--like India or Europe whose economies are growing much faster than ours as they pull back from socialism.Obama has no intention of turning the economy around. Many panelists on these TV talk shows, cable or broadcast, right and/or left, just don't get it. They keep making hopeful suggestions. But h...

The Business Case for Enterprise Social Bookmarking: $4.6 Million a Year in Cost Savings!
A couple of weeks ago, the amazingly talented Dion Hinchcliffe put together a blog post under the title of “The 2010 Social Business Landscape” that would probably classify as one of the most insightful, resourceful and essential articles published during the course of this year that everyone in the industry should be reading. Yes, in case you may not have seen it, it is that good! Worth while your time, for sure!, specially, if you are into some amazing graphicware like this one. But, there is something missing from that article, don’t you think? Something that, in my opinion, is one of the fundamental p...

Neue Brille – natürlich mit Gläsern von Transitions
Nach 10 Jahren mit dem bisherigen Gestell auf der Nase ist es wieder Mal Zeit für eine neue Brille. Die letzte hab ich noch in einem heute nicht mehr bestehenden Brillen-Laden im Nauwieser Viertel in Saarbrücken erstanden. Die heute ausgesuchte Brille wurde nach erstklasiger Beratung bei Optiker Kelb in Wandsbek in Auftrag gegeben. Schwarz sollte sie wieder sein, modern, aber schlicht, und teilweise rahmenlos. Auf dieses Exemplar ist nach eindringlicher Prüfung meine Wahl gefallen:
Eine Sehstärkenbestimmung beim Augenarzt samt Vorsorgeuntersuchung ging dem Brillenkauf voraus. Dort erhielt ich neben dem positiven Befun...

El bibliotecario en su encrucijada
Hace ya un tiempo, escribimos un texto en el que reflexionábamos sobre la dicotomía que se da en Biblioteconomía y Documentación, donde una buena cantidad de personas de “letras” se refugia entre libros impresos buscando una salida profesional donde cada vez es más importante el peso de las nuevas tecnologías en su desarrollo. Es posible que las reticencias iniciales que se dieron en la adopción de nuevas tendencias en la Web, se vean relajadas en un futuro no tan lejano cuando nuevas generaciones más habituadas a los ordenadores suplanten a las más timoratas por si el ordenador (sic) pudiese llegar a romperse...

Power Corrupts
About a month ago, Lincoln announced that it will be introducing a new hybrid electric version of the MKZ model with a price tag of $35,180. On its own this is nothing earthshattering, as many automakers have joined, or will soon join, Honda and Toyota in mass-marketing hybrids. But what makes Lincoln's announcement exciting is that their hybrid will be coming at a price you won't be able to refuse. Or will you?

Leo — Named in honor of genius Leonardo da Vinci, Leo marks a renaissance in dog toy design! The original connectable treat-release toy! The durable, hollow-core construction, open neck and two cross-cut holes allow Leo toys to be stuffed with treats. Great fun on its’ own or connect two, three, or more Leos to create customizable treat-release puzzles (treats can travel from toy to toy). Feed dinner from a Leo to slow down gulpers, and exercise your dogs mind by giving them a “hunting and foraging” challenge at mealtime.

La biblioteca, factor de calidad en los centros educativos
Por: Antonio Tejeda Aparicio La aventura más hermosa y apasionante que podemos emprender en un colegio es la biblioteca escolar. Ningún otro proyecto educativo suscita más consenso entre profesores y padres que despertar en los niños y niñas el deseo y el placer de leer, esto es, transferir al ámbito personal de su vida diaria el hábito de la lectura como medio para crecer afectiva, social e intelectualmente. Muchos de los contenidos que ahora enseñamos en las escuelas serán irrelevantes cuando estos niños lleguen al mundo laboral, por lo que el énfasis habrá que ponerlo en el desarrollo de la competencia ling...

My Top 10 Reasons Why I Bought an iPad
Late last week you would remember how I put together a blog post where I started collecting a number of the Daily #iPad Apps that I keep sharing across over in Twitter, for those folks who may be potentially interested. Also as a good reference for myself, i.e. as part of my own personal knowledge sharing experience, so that I can keep going back and forth over time and see what I may have shared and what not, just in case I may need it for a future reference. Then, my good friend Barry Leiba mentioned, in the comments, how he would be “interested in reading more about specifically HOW the iPad fundamentally chang...

FC St. Pauli im Sportclub – Blick hinter die Kulissen
(v.l.n.r: Moderator Alexander Bommes, ich, @Sparschaeler, @KonBon)
Es war wirklich interessant, mal die Produktion einer Sportsendung live im Studio zu erleben. Gestern saß ich ja, wie berichtet, mit Herrn @sparschaeler im Publikum der NDR-Sendung Sportclub. Aufgenommen wurde direkt im Anschluss an die live von 21:45 – 22:00 Uhr gezeigte die Sendung «Sportclub-Bundesliga» von 22:00-22:45 Uhr. Die Live-Aufzeichnung wurde dann um eine halbe Stunde zeitversetzt zwischen 23:15 und 00:00 Uhr ausgestrahlt.

Heimspielpremiere des FC St. Pauli in der 1. Bundesliga: 0:1 gegen Hoffenheim
Es hat nicht sollen sein. Nach dem großartigen Auswärtssieg in Freiburg haben wir gestern durch ein unglücklich eingefangenes 0:1 drei Minuten vor Schluß verloren. Da die Mannschaft aber gegen ein gutes Erstligateam prima mitgespielt hat, ist mir um den Klassenerhalt nicht bange. Dass es super schwer wird in der Liga zu bleiben, wissen wir. Ein paar Impressionen und Stimmungen aus der Nordkurve (u.a. auch mit Blick auf die neue Haupttribüne) habe ich gestern per Twitter kommuniziert. Bei Interesse hier nachzulesen.

Metadata, Not E-Books, Can Save Publishing
O’Reilly TOC—Tools of Change for Publishing • July 29, 2010
Needles in haystacks. “E-books will not revolutionize reading, nor will they change the content,” says metadata enthusiast Nick Ruffilo. Reading on a screen rather than paper will not create new markets, but better metadata on each book could allow readers to find more of what they like, regardless of format: “If every book had this data, you could essentially have an eHarmony for books. You fill out a small profile of your likes and dislikes and now are shown a much sma...

Reference Question of the Week - 8/22/10
This was sort of a frustrating question, but in the end was fun - mainly because I get to tag this post “gonzo reference.”
A patron came rushing up to the desk (literally) and said he quickly needed to know John Philip Sousa’s religion. Since time was important, I gave the patron Encyclopedia Britannica and showed him how to find the John Philip Sousa article, while I searched Wikipedia. Neither identified his religion, so the next step was to grab the one Sousa biography we had on the shelf, and the patron looked through the index under “faith,” “religion,” etc., while I kept se...
