LifetimeObjects (04/06/2008 10:04 PM)
We live in a world of digital objects that exist over time. But these objects exist in disjoint data repositories and the manual labor required to manage them is unduly high. As well in general, the dimension of time is somewhat ignored by most applications. Emails sent out are not clearly visible as waiting for responses. Things have no beginning nor end, dependencies are not clearly shown. The implications of something such as a recurring bill do not affect a bottom line in a clear way. It is non trivial to report small transactions such as filling up the car with gas, or meeting a new client, or thinking of a new idea, to a centralized knowledge management store.

SpinnyGlobe (02/22/2008 11:27 AM)
See http://spinnyglobe.googlecode.com. Spinny Globes have always fascinated. They provide a sense of closure and a visceral feel that has a kinesthetic aesthetic. Here we are putting together a variety of small spinny globes for various platforms. This work was in large part paid for by http://meedan.net but the core is open source. We renamed it from http://meadanglobe.googlecode.com when the organization name shifted and when other organizations wanted to also use it.
