Don’t break the Web — I’m off the grid

Uncategorized 0 Minutes

Brian Oberkirch talks about having one of his sites pulled down (an important one, too, on the New Orleans disaster) by an ex partner.

Oh, I hear ya on that one. Userland pulled down the first two years of my blog and never put it back up.

Breakage happens all the time. It’s unfortunate. But there are ways to route around the damage. Unfortunately they didn’t crawl everything.

A friend asked me why I don’t get mad about stuff like that. “I’m gonna end up in a box either way,” I answered.

Anyway, I’ll be offline until August 13th. Visit TechMeme, which is my favorite news site. Enjoy life.

Literally. He had the first ride in the first Tesla. Siri was launched in his house. He's been the first to share all sorts of technologies and companies with you, from Flipboard to Pandora to Instagram. Today he's focusing on mixed reality, AKA "next-generation augmented reality" which will include a new user interface for EVERYTHING in your life (IoT, Smart Cities, driverless cars, robots, drones, etc). That's based on his view thanks to his past experience as futurist at Rackspace. Best place to find Scoble? On his Facebook profile at https://www.facebook.com/RobertScoble He has been a technology blogger since 2000, was one of five people who built Microsoft's Channel 9 video blog/community, worked at Fast Company Magazine running its TV efforts, and has been part of technology media businesses since 1993. ++++++++ SPEAKER PITCH: Apple and Facebook now have revealed their Augmented Reality strategies, which means your business needs one too. Rely on Robert Scoble, the world's top authority on AR, to bring to your conference what businesses should do next. SPEECH ABSTRACT #1: TITLE: The Fourth Transformation: What's next in mixed reality (AR and AI) and the future of technology? Here's an example of this talk at Leade.rs in Paris in April, 2017: https://youtu.be/52_0JshgjXI Why "the Fourth Transformation?" Soon we will have phones and glasses that do full on augmented reality. Everything you look at will potentially be augmented. This world is coming in late 2017 with a new iPhone from Apple, amongst other products. Microsoft is betting everything on its HoloLens glasses that do mixed reality and the industry is spending many billions of dollars in R&D and funding new companies like Magic Leap. This future will be the user interface for IoT, Smart Cities, autonomous cars, robots, drones, and your TV. This is a big deal and Robert will take you through what mixed reality is and how it will change every business.

Scoble will bring you the best from his travels visiting R&D labs, startups, and innovators around the world. He views the world through his rose-colored-mixed-reality glasses, which will be the new user interface for self driving cars, Smart Cities, IoT, and many other things in our world. He'll send you off with some lessons for companies both large and small. ++++++++ SPEECH ABSTRACT #3: "Personalized Meaning: What is Augmented Reality For?" As we enter a far more technological world where even cars drive themselves, I predict we'll see a blowback toward the analog, more authentic world. What role does augmented reality play in both worlds? Get Scoble's insight into where augmented reality is going, see tons of real-world demos, and understand what he means by 'personalized meaning.'

  7. Robert, the blog was not “his” in fact it was a team effort by our company. Brian was a member of the team and the driving force behind the project. We wrote about taking the blog down in this post:

    http://www.weblogswork.com/2006/07/31/looking-back-hurricane-katrina-blogging/

    The blog was gathering dust as no one wanted to “own” it anymore. It was also gather thousands of comment and trackback spam messages. Anyway, we did not see how it was useful to keep it up and offered to point the domain to Brian’s personal servers. Before we could he blasted us in his blog. Ultimately, we had no idea anyone cared, but since they do we restored the blog, writing about it here:

    http://www.weblogswork.com/2006/08/03/disaster-blogging-part-deux/

    So if we are going to keep the Hurricane blogging project going we are going to need help. If you would be kind enough to put a call out to people from the Gulf Coast who are interested in helping us keep the effort alive. It is very easy to complain, but another thing to actually get involved and contribute. You can have interested parties give me a call at 214.550.2003 – Alexander Muse

  11. I print out each post as I post it, or in some cases, after a few subsequent edits, revisions, whatever. Updates to the post itself, within the post.

    Print em out fellers. Or transfer them to disk I guess. Any suggestions Robert on offline blog preservation?

  15. I usually just type ’em in Word, that’s my backup 🙂 But hey, we’ll end up in a box anyway! Maybe they can put my USB stick with me in the box, that’d be great for the archeologists in about 200 years.. I should copyright that idea..
