9 Digital Trends For 2010by Derrick Daye
1: Facebook replaces personal email
Question: Google has it, Hoover has it (in the UK anyway), TiVo had it, lost it and has somewhat got it back. Xerox had it, but nobody really cares anymore. So what is it?
It's when a brand name becomes the verb associated with its use. So rather than searching, you Google, or TiVo when digital recording a television show. Arguably an even more powerful synonym is when a brand becomes a noun, such as Polaroid, for instant developed photographs, although that didn't end so well.
The newest one would seem to Facebook, although it has too meanings.
'I Facebooked you' could mean that you the person has added you as a Facebook friend or they sent you a private message though Facebook. The latter would seem to be of more interest as no-one has really owned this type of communication before. No brand ever became synonymous with email. To Hotmail or Gmail someone just never happened.
So the interesting and overlooked disruption of Facebook is its displacement of personal email as a communication tool. Completely permission based, no SPAM (yet), and no address book required – your friends are already on Facebook.
2: Open source software starts making proper money, thanks to the cloud
There's something starting to happen within the open source software world. Projects that were typically for the purview of programmers, or at least technophiles, are now available to the masses.
An example is Beanstalk a fully hosted, version controlled code repository that uses the Subversion open source project. The big deal is that to set up and maintain a Subversion repository can be a pain – plus you need a server if you want to give access to anyone. Beanstalk has created a subscription based service that, for a small fee, removes the hassle. Services like this can only really exist with cloud computing infrastructure – so companies such as Beanstalk don't have the huge upfront capital outlay for servers, they only pay for what their customers use. With the right skills any open source project can be commercialized in this manner.
3: Mobile Commerce – the promise that has never delivered, yet.
As annoyingly tantalizing yet esoteric as the word 'convergence' has been over the last 10 years, mobile commerce has promised much but never delivered. Mobile phones have delivered real benefits to societies world wide and in developing nations are used commonplace as devices for the transfer of money.
However, until only very recently in the nations that invented and first adopted mobile technologies, has use of your most precious device been extended to payment for goods and services. With the advanced browsers of iPhone and the Android platforms one could pay for goods through full e-commerce sites, but who really wants to fiddle around with a phone in one hand and a credit card in another?
The game changer is the iPhone / iTunes platform. In-app purchases on the iPhone can tempt users to buy small items, upgrades, updates, etc, while iTunes holds their precious credit card information. All, of course, is done in seamless fashion, enough to promote impulse purchases. Would seem like an easy task for this to be extended to other platforms with PayPal or Google Checkout. But we have been here before haven't we?
4: Fewer registrations – one sign-in fits all
I use a great application on the Mac platform that securely holds my login details for upwards of 50 different sites. It means that I don't have to use the same password for each site and that I don't have to search around for post-it notes (my 1998 method) to log into the site I joined a week ago.
However, I'm starting to resent having to register for anything ever again. I don't see why, to leave a particularly pithy comment on a blog or news site, I have to register all over again. I'm sure I'm not the only one and that's why services like Facebook Connect and OpenID are particularly useful and will continue to be adopted at great speed through 2010. Who knows where these might go? Perhaps next year I'll be able to pay for something using my Facebook login.
5: Disruption vs. Continuity – Alternatives to the "Big Idea"
As the significance of social networks continues to grow, businesses are investing more in community building as a marketing driver. According to the recent Tribalization of Business study released by Deloitte, 94% of businesses will continue or increase their investment in online communities and social media and, for the majority of these companies, their marketing function will drive this investment. At the same time, as evidenced by Google's recent release of "free floating" social tools, such as Google Waves and Sidewiki, there is an increasing shift towards online identity and social activity being an integrated part of the network as a whole, rather than concentrated within discrete platforms such as Facebook.
With the increasing emphasis on marketing and advertising through social networks and the increasing pervasiveness of social tools, marketing objectives come into conflict with advertising techniques. While advertising has often sought to distinguish itself and stop the consumer in their tracks with a disruptive "big idea," the emphasis is shifting toward persuasion through fitting organically into the consumer's social sphere. It will always be the objective of marketing to provide creativity and novelty, but the way in will increasingly be one of persistence and continuity.
6: Self-Sufficiency – The Continuing Evolution of Web-Driven,Open Source DIY Culture
Much has been said about the power and potential of collective intelligence. From solving complex problems through crowd-sourcing, to reconfiguring industries to be leaner and more innovative by harnessing the expertise of a network of independent suppliers, many of the breakthrough solutions of tomorrow appear to lie in more effectively pooling the resources and intelligence of our increasingly networked world.
On the other side of the equation, the power of pooled intelligence and networked resources have empowered individuals to take on more and more complex undertakings themselves. From drawing on the collective intelligence of blogs and university open courseware to educate themselves, to services like ponoko, spoonflower and cafe press that facilitate small-scale production, to offline resource pooling like pop-up retail and collective office spaces, individuals are discovering that it has never been easier to try doing it themselves.
While we find new ways to thrive in a still struggling economy, expect to see lasting changes coming from empowering individuals to work together to become more ever more self-sufficient.
7: Info-Art
Where we once had pop-psychologists and pop-philosophers, we now appear to have pop-statisticians and pop-economists. The growing wealth of data and the access to rich and diverse data sources that are significant byproducts of information networks have made the art of data analysis a defining skill of our times.
By the same token, the skill of elegantly visualizing that data has become a defining art of our time. The art of the infographic is becoming increasingly pervasive as people look more and more to the growing amount of data at our disposal for insight, and more refined as the interactions of that data becomes more complex.
With an ever increasing need for real-time analysis of a growing torrent of raw data, expect to see greater innovation spurred by more elegant ways of capturing and visualizing information by a growing number of
8: Crowd Sourcing
Across many industries and organizations, crowd sourcing will become a growing tool as part of elance outsourcing strategies. Organizations will mobilize the passionate special interest groups to not only carry a message but, even more importantly perhaps, to lead and take part in activities on their behalf.
Predictions for 2010 are not as rosy as we all hoped and budgets for just about everything continue to be cut, encouraging 'creative' thinking regarding getting things done and done well.
From political canvassing to software development, from people journalism to environmental activism, we will see huge growth in crowd sourcing models provoked and led, largely, by digital social media strategies.
9: More Flash, Not Less
Outside of the obvious brand sites, micro-sites and media sites (video, games, etc.) Flash has often been looked down upon if not completely discounted by techies and search engine optimizers alike. It seemed to face an uncertain future as a viable tool for serious websites and applications such as eCommerce tools and corporate websites. As it is, Adobe's rich media tool has enjoyed the grit and determination of its advocates and external development community. Several tricks, authoring tools and server side scripting workarounds have meant that Flash built websites no longer serve up a single, impenetrable page. They offer deep, searchable, indexable sites that will allow acute, detailed traffic and behavioral analytics and search engine optimization.
As websites continue to increase in their importance as a company's storefront, the demand for rich, brand-extending experiences will also increase. Further proliferation of (lightning speed) broadband will reduce download issues while the adoption of Flash on mobile devices will dramatically increase and fuel reach and the desire/need for highly usable, brand transporting, conversion oriented experiences

Nice post! But what about Google Wave, I see a lot of potential for that tool as well, but in the workplace as well as for personal use. I can hear people saying 'I've waved you' as well. But than again, maybe a bit too soon for 2010.
This is a good list. The flash comment is spot on too – we'll see a big resurgence here. It's many uses are what sets it apart:
- Brand experiences
- Web applications (via AIR / Flex)
- Porting straight to an iPhone app (in the next version)
The last one is a stroke of genius on Adobe's part – it will also explode the app store.

Former Doctor Who Star Matt Smith Shows Off Football Skills On Stage
If you weren't convinced by Matt Smith's football skills in 2010′s The Lodger (why not?!) or just wanted to see more of the former youth team player in action, here's a great clip of the Eleventh Doctor actor playing keepy-up!
Seemingly recorded at the big Doctor Who Convention in March 2012 (although I'll happily be corrected on that) Smith is on stage with Steven Moffat, Caro Skinner, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill.
It's a nice moment – perhaps Matt could be persuaded to repeat the feat for Children in Need…?
One Response to Former Doctor Who Star Matt Smith Shows Off Football Skills On Stage
I just love Matt, and I'm glad he went into acting, i can enjoy him more than once a week.

Notwithstanding Arab uprisings and Qaddafi rants, there has been a lot of good stuff on aid and development this week. Some of the must reads from this week.

Aid. Bet your eyes rolled just reading that. The word upsets us all and, still, we dispense billions of dollars of it to places that are hit by conflict or disaster. Then we complain how that doesn't make a difference. But do we ever ask why?...

About Vulcan Vape
Vulcan Vape began in 2011 when two 20-year analog smokers successfully switched to e-cigs using the Joyetech eGo-T. Convinced by the power of vaping, we were inspired to form a business around it. This website was launched in September 2011, and by June of 2012 we'd opened our first brick and mortar store in Birmingham, AL.
Now three stores strong, we strive everyday to make the best e-cig units and e-liquids available, while providing the best customer service. Visit us in Birmingham, Nashville, and Atlanta, or contact us here.
The highlight of our day's work is when a new customer walks in smelling of cigarettes, and their eyes light up upon taking their first quality draw off an e-cig. Their immediate recognition that there's really a better alternative is what keeps us motivated.
For more information about vaping, we encourage you to visit and join the website for the Consumer Advocates for Smoke-free Alternatives Association. CASAA is a nonprofit organization that provides accurate and up-to-date electronic cigarette news, as they work diligently to protect our rights to enjoy reduced-harm alternatives to smoking.

Casey Key group fights incorporation
Date: July 9, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
The group Friends of Casey Key says it has the numbers to defeat any attempt at incorporation on the Key, and members say they have the proof.
They handed that proof, in the form of 243 signed petitions, to U.S. Rep. Doug Holder, R-Sarasota, July 6.
That number represents about half of registered voters on the Key.
"Most people think how we are now is the best way for the Key to operate," said David Macrae, who leads Friends of Casey Key.
Those in favor of incorporating the Key say they want to do so because of Sarasota County's rules on building codes and property rights.
Supporters asked a Legislative delegation to sponsor a bill that would create an incorporated Casey Key.
That bill died in committee last session.
And the petitions are not likely to help resuscitate it.
Holder's staff will verify if all 243 petitions were signed by registered voters on Casey Key. If those numbers stand up, it could defeat a possible referendum on incorporation.
"This would make us less likely to pursue incorporation," Holder said. "But it wouldn't be entirely out of the question."
Holder will now share the petitions with the other members of the Legislative delegation, including Sen. Mike Bennett, Sen. Nancy Detert, U.S. Rep. Ron Reagan and U.S. Rep. Keith Fitzgerald.
The delegation met with Casey Key residents Feb. 6. Bennett said that had he sensed during the meeting that Casey Key property owners did not want incorporation, he would not have pushed the bill further.
Estimates on how much incorporation would cost Key residents vary greatly, depending on which side supplies the figures. They run from $1.3 million per year to $3.5 million per year.
"This is their decision. We were just giving them the opportunity," Holder said. "All we want to know is what the people of Casey Key want."

Roasted Variegated Potatoes With Garlic and Rosemary

wasoccermom Posted: 10/23/09
This is a family favorite! You can switch up the type of potatoes you use but it's fun to add in blue or purple potatoes if you can find them. A great side dish to any grilled meat or roast.
tara31 Posted: 06/20/10
These were SO delicious! We used 1 1/2 lbs. of baby red potatoes and doubled the rosemary - excellent! Served with Poached Salmon with Dill-Mustard Sauce and Green Bean, Walnut and Feta Salad.

The Ukrainian parliament could give final approval next week to a bill that aims to outlaw "pro-homosexual propaganda" - any "positive depiction" of gay people, gay pride marches, or even the screening of a film like Brokeback Mountain. - BBC News
So there's this programme on British TV called Grand Designs, in which they follow people who are building their own dream home. Tonight's episode featured a lesbian couple. And there was no fanfare, no anything, they just said Diana and Christine are building this home. Like it was nothing out of the ordinary. And I just thought yeh that's SO how it ought to be. Complete acceptance. The editorial treatment was no different to when they feature an MF married couple. GMH. If they can be on mainstream telly without anyone batting an eyelid, then guys we've cracked it. The world is seemingly comfortable with non hetero couples. We are getting there. Isn't that just so cool?
Met a lovely guy last night and I was trying to work out whether he was gay or not. He was talking.
"We're going for a bike ride around Cape Horn."
"We're going for a Bi Pride around gay porn."
Damn I need a lobotomy!
So I was out tonight at a pub with live music. And the place was just full of beautiful people. Attractive guys here, attractive girls there.
And sometimes I think it would be so much easier if I was on one or the other side of the fence. Like if I was only attracted to men or women, not both.
But I'm not. I'm not just attracted to one gender. Which I am usually cool with, but sometimes it's just a total headfuck.
Me: Large whisky please.
Barman: Straight?
Me: I'm sorry?!?! Oh the whisky! Yes please.
Me, barman and bloke standing next to me: LAUGH!!
Men! Not interested in seeing your bits - seen it all before. But the face is so important in determining attraction. Wish all the idiots on these cruising apps would get their heads around that!
I have this app on my phone called Grindr. It's a gay dating/ hookup site. Now I'm not into no strings sex with strangers, I use it to meet friends and dates. But the saddest thing is that about half of the guys on there refuse to post a face pic. Torso or no pic, most of them.
Which implies that they are afraid to reveal their sexuality.
I feel for these guys. They are terrified that their lives will be made hell if they come out. Like their natural sexual preferences are something to be ashamed of.
I'm out, and the response for me has been overwhelmingly positive.
I really hope that these people who are hiding can have the strength and courage to stop hiding.
And damnit they might be really fit and I might want to meet them!!
So I play guitar and sing at open mic nights. But I have this new toy, called a cajon (pronounced cahhon) which is basically a wooden box that you sit on and bang the front to make a drumming sound.
It is awesome on its own. But the best thing is the innuendo potential. The compere introduced me as having "this big thing between his legs" (nice one, I'd not thought of that one!). And friends who were playing their sets and wanted me to play along with them said: "Al, I want you to bang away for me."
When a friend plays it for me during my set, I gleefully announce that "It's a pleasure for xxx to be sitting on my instrument," usually followed by "And I love it when they start banging away on it!"
But you know what is the coolest thing? Most people at these open mic nights know about my sexual orientation. And they play up to it with typical British innuendo in a playful, non offensive, accepting kind of way. They are cool with what I am, and they know that I can take a joke because they are clear to me that they are accepting of what I am. The same jokes spoken in a homophobic manner would hurt, but I know these people well enough to know that their humour is accepting, loving and playfully endearing.
I love the crowd of friends at open mic. They accept me for who I am. They know that I can tell the difference between a comment intended to hurt and a joke intended to accept and welcome.
The lovely thing is that they all accept and do not discriminate against me because of my sexual orientation. I know that their humour is entirely meant with love.
And yes, I love sitting on a big instrument and banging away on it ;D
Don't know why I love this photo so much.
I do. It's a vision of pure contentment.
Thislemonjust looks amazing. They don't exist, do they?
OK, so I get the impression she kind of knows that I am not just attracted to women. Last time we went shopping, there was me cooing over all the shabby chic furniture, and walking out with foofy scatter cushions and some very feminine vases.
She's seen the way I dress, and she's seen all my metrosexual male grooming products. Along with umpteen other clues.
And the last time I went to see her, she commented on my hair. "It reminds me of that pop star," she said. "You know, the gay one?" and she laughed. Which might have been her way of saying 'Al, it's OK. After all these years, it's OK and I want you to be happy being you'.
But still it's going to be so hard to actually tell her what I've been hiding for so long. Even though she is unlikely to have forgotten. Roll back nearly 20 years and I still remember the fireworks when she read my diary. (I love my mum but I still can't forgive her for that.)
My diary (hey I was young, teenagers keep diaries!) not only contained details of the drugs I had taken, but also my sexual experiences. With men as well as women.
Fair play for getting mad about the drugs. I agree with you now about the drugs. But the anger about sleeping with men, the vitriol. That will never leave me. Ever. And it shaped so much of my life: it made me move to live somewhere far away, and it also made me fear coming out to anyone. FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS.
Since then, she has only ever known me to have girlfriends. She doesn't know about the part of me - the natural need and desire in me - that loves men, which has never left me.
But the time has come when I can no longer pretend. I can no longer try to erase or hide a part of me to please another. Even my mum.
I have to be brave and tell her that it has never gone away. It is me, and it always will be.
It will be the hardest thing I will ever have to do.

Cincinnati named one of smoggiest cities in the country
Ranked 16th smoggiest
Cincinnati's air quality is not very good compared to the other U.S. cities, according to a new report.
The report by Environment Ohio says Cincinnati is the 16th smoggiest large metropolitan area in the country.
The report, Danger in the Air: Unhealthy Air Days in 2010 and 2011 , shows that in total, residents in the Tri-State area were exposed to air quality that made it dangerous to breathe on 14 days in 2010. Additionally, residents of the Tri-State were alerted to unhealthy air on 20 days in the summer of 2011, including one "red-alert" day where the quality was so poor that anyone could experience adverse health effects.
"Ohioans deserve clean air. But on far too many days, people in the Cincinnati area are exposed to dangerous smog pollution," said Dan Levine, federal associate with Environment Ohio. "For the sake of our children, we must make every day a safe day to breathe."
Children, the elderly, and people with respiratory illness suffer the most on days with elevated levels of smog pollution.
9 News spoke to Evelyn Owhor, who is living with asthma. She says Cincinnati's rank on the list is alarming.
"My asthma is linked to my allergies as well, so if anything triggers my allergies such as the atmosphere, air, smoking, pollen, any of those things, my asthma is able to be triggered and I can have a asthma attack," Owhor explained. "Whether I lose my breath as I'm walking, or have trouble breathing, all of those things can definitely affect me as well as my ability to do my job and to be an individual."
Smog is one of the most harmful air pollutants, and is also one of the most pervasive, according to Environment Ohio. Smog forms when pollution from cars, power plants and industrial facilities reacts with other pollutants in the presence of sunlight.
Cincinnati City Councilmember Wendell Young and Bill Lonneman, M.S.N, family nurse practitioner and assistant professor of nursing at College of Mount St. Joseph joined Environment Ohio in releasing Wednesday's report outside of City Hall.
"Every day, smog threatens the health and wellbeing of our children and our adults," said Young. "As a representative of Cincinnati and its residents, I cannot idly allow this to happen. We must look to our future and we absolutely must fight to protect and maintain our clean air safeguards."
Lonneman reported seeing the health consequences of air pollution.
"Cincinnati has some of the most polluted air in the country," said Lonneman. "As a nurse, I know that the people who visit the city's health clinics consistently report asthma as one of their top problems."

Apparently during the end of the last decade, Kanye West was developing a Curb Your Enthusiasm style improvisational comedy series with HBO that ended up never seeing the light of day. After watching this clip I think you'll know why. In this clip from actress Allison Quinn's reel, which has been on YouTube since 2010, Kanye meets with a young kid named Jaleel for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Hilarity does not ensue.

Hello pico, thank you for your feedback :-)
yep, it's a very good idea to offer also a basic design, it would give newcommers a better understanding of what is essential for an arduino board.
There are plans for an ICSP port (because it is simply a must have). but sadly i didn't had the time to add it, but it is planned for the first update.
my plan is to make a pinout for the attiny2313 too and connect both to the ICSP port, so you have the abillity to reprogram both MCU's.

The Mendel Rap
I'm not sure this is going to convince the New Atheists that Catholicism and science are connected in healthy ways, but I appreciate the smile.
Sorta related (as in its the sort of thing the new atheists would do): Atheists sue to remove letters G, O, D from alphabet . Don't worry; it's satire. Even if hitting close to home.

Utah Valley CVB
Sundance Resort
Utah Valley has a lot to offer—but its most breathtaking sights are provided courtesy of Mother Nature. An array of natural wonders—canyons, gardens, lakes and rivers, caves, waterfalls, and of course mountains—can be found within a few minutes' drive. Almost every main community in the Valley is nestled near a mountain and a canyon, with other scenic geographic features nearby. In fact, no matter where you are in Utah County, you're almost certain to be within a 10 or 15 minute drive of at least one of these natural wonders.
Accessibility: Many sites, such as Hobble Creek Canyon or the Nebo Loop, are easily toured by car. Others, such as Cascade Springs and Bridal Veil Falls, are only a short, level walk from parking or roadways. For those who prefer a more vigorous journey to your favorite scenic spot, some sites, such as Timpanogos Cave, require hiking.
Variety: Utah County's scenic beauty spots showcase the finest that each season has to offer. Visit one site during two different seasons, and you'll experience two completely different worlds. For instance, the glistening springtime green of the Alpine Loop gives way to the blazing colors of changing leaves in the fall. As an added bonus, many of Utah Valley's natural beauty sites are accessible year-round.Proximity: Perhaps the best thing about Utah's natural wonders is that they're in good company—most scenic drives and destinations in Utah Valley give visitors the chance to experience several breathtaking sites in one excursion. Timpanogos Cave, for example, is the "pot of gold" at the end of a beautiful drive through the Alpine Loop. Panoramic Deer Creek Reservoir can be viewed along the way to a fun-filled afternoon of sightseeing on the Heber Valley Railroad. In Utah Valley, beautiful views are definitely the rule, not the exception.

Widespread Panic's John Bell performs during a three-night run at the Classic Center in April 2000.
Photo by Kim Bancroft
"The band house…that's where the earliest memories came from and where daydreaming and living in the moment didn't necessarily cancel each other out.
We were (at the time) four guys living on King Avenue with a kitchen full of band gear and a lot of time on our hands. At one point in the day, we'd wake up, go into town for food and adventure (sometimes work). Then we'd find each other again—most likely at the Uptown Lounge or back at the house.
We put on our least scratchy albums—I remember Warren Zevon and R.E.M. being the most resistant to damage. If someone had an inspiration we'd make our way to the kitchen, play off each other and see what would come of it. A lot of kidding around, a lot of beer.
Friends would stop by on a whim. If there was enough whimsy in the air that night, all of a sudden we'd be hosting a party. I don't think we ever planned a party because so many spontaneous gatherings erupted. Fun for us, but we lived next door to a city councilman, so Athens' finest routinely and politely stopped by for a visit as well. We could ask 10 to 20 people to lower the overall volume, but if there were more we'd usually have to shut our doors and turn the lights off for the night.
Returning home after one of our first road trips—probably to Clemson, Greenville and Charlotte—our next-door neighbors on the other side commented on how much our playing had improved. They didn't know we had been out of town, letting another Athens band, the Landsharks, use the house for practice.
Kyle and Duck at the Uptown introduced us to Sunny and gave us our first piece of rock 'n' roll security—a regular Monday night gig for what came through the door—$1 cover. That was a big deal. Playing a whole night in front of people was a lot different than being back at the house. Our first show was over, and we still owed the bar for our drink tab. Mike's sister bailed us out on that. Later, Kyle said free draft beer could be part of the deal. We were honing our negotiation skills.
Early one summer UGA was in between sessions, and the town was empty of students. It was lucky for us though, because with the kids gone the locals came out, and we were maybe the only game in town. About 300-plus folks came through. Widespread Panic was on its way… to Waffle House. 'The Girl's House' had us over for dinner on Sundays. Chicken wings. These were good friends that lived together on Buena Vista Street and looked after us. Mondays we ate yellow food (Waffle House). The rest of the week was ramen noodles, apples, hot dogs and an occasional pizza. Candles replaced electricity, blankets replaced gas, and the landlords were mostly patient. We were having a blast.
One day Sam, our manager-to-be, came to the house to hear us. He took an interest and helped us incorporate. The lights, heat and phone came back on line. Recordings were made, we stayed on the road for longer and more distant stretches, signed some contracts, leased some buses, got married, and raised families."
—John Bell, lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist, Widespread Panic
