"Hi, Google. My name is Johnny" Johnny Chung Lee announced on his Procrastineering blog that he's accepted a position at Google as a "Rapid Evaluator". I'm not sure what he will be doing in this position, but his title is intriguing!
Here are some of my previous posts devoted to the work of Johnny Chung Lee:

Social Sound Waving: Sound Cloud
One of my Facebook friends recently shared a link to the SoundCloud website, a site that is new to me. I was pleasantly surprised to learn about it!
"SoundCloud is a platform that puts your sound at the heart of communities, websites and even apps. Watch conversations, connections and social experiences happen, with your sound as the spark." -SoundCloud
Here is the screenshot and the link:
Jurassic Park Theme (1000% Slower)
Yet another rabbit hole for me to follow in the future!

Video Interview of 114 Year-Old Walter Bruening: Words of wisdom from the timeline of his life.
"Everyday is a good day...and make it that way!" - Walter Bruening
Some quotes from the video:
If you could give one piece of advice to today's youth, what would it be?
"I'd tell them to stay in school, get educated, as much as you can, because if you're not educated today, fully, all about computers and everything like that, you are not going to get a job, because you got to be fully qualified to go to work on any kind of job right now."
Walter Bruening's words to live by:
"Be good to everybody, be kind to them."
"People should be helping other people."
"The more you do for other people, the better your going to help your self."
Interview of Walter Breuning at age 11, includes a multimedia timeline:
(Video starts at the end of the CSI ad)
Idea:
Although younger generations will leave the world digital legacies in some form or another, the ideas, and views of our elders are not often found online. Wouldn't it be great if we could capture the wisdom of our elders in a broad way and get it on the web?
It would be great if students in schools around the world could work on a shared on-line multimedia timeline project like this, highlighting their elderly relatives and friends of the family!
If something like this exists, please let me know.

Gem of a video clip: Joshua Tree Under the Milky Way
I'm always on the lookout for videos that work nicely on interactive whiteboards for students with multiple special needs, including autism. The video below is a time-lapse of the Perseid Meteor Shower and the galactic core of the Milky Way, from Joshua Tree National Park. It was produced by Henry Jun Wah Lee, of Evosia Studios.
Teachers of studets with special needs might want to incorporate this short video clip into lessons, (in this case, science). It provides a soothing touch through the use of music, and looks fantastic on a large interactive whiteboard. The video isn't too boring if it is looped, making it great for students who require repetition of content.

COMMENT
Designers and developers need to think about off-the-desktop technologies as a new form of the web/internet. Information architects who understand interactive media/transmedia, cross-display/device, cross-platform, and interaction design within a broader context are sorely needed in this space.
The presentation below, by Chris Thorne, Lead Information Architect and User Experience Consultant working for the BBC, provides a good overview about this topic:
Over the past months I've been gathering video and photos of my encounters and interactions with digital signage as a consumer/customer/user during my every-day activities such as shopping, traveling, vacationing, and so forth, which will be included in a post or series of posts in the near future.
I have content related to interaction with various QR tags, interactive kiosks, interactive displays and TV on a cruise ship, an interactive touch screen at J.C. Penny, and more. If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know that my interests include user experience of DOOH, interactive displays in public spaces, and so forth.
Note: Despite all of the technological innovations in this converging field, issues related to context, usability, and accessibility are not consistently addressed from a broader systems point of view.
