Whether you've been day sailing in Galveston Bay or managed an offshore jaunt to another Texas port, everyone has to come home. Tacking or reaching through the Gulf, moored buoys mark the shipping lanes and jetties.  Chirping and moaning across the waves, their bells, whistles and horns speak an ageless sea-language, and patterned flashes of light make them easily recognizable even for the night watch.

Slipping through the bay, there are day markers to look for - numbered red triangles and green squares on posts - or smaller red and green buoys.  If you have a chart (you DO have a chart, don't you?), you know what to look for. When you find it, you know where you are.

Probably the most well-known aid to navigation in Galveston Bay is Marker #2. Attached to a scarred post that's been replaced a few times, the red triangle alerts boaters to the beginning of the Clear Creek channel. A traditional navigational mantra reminds boaters to keep "Red, Right, Returning".  Coming in from sea, the prudent skipper keeps red markers on the right, green on left, and the vessel in between for safe pasage.

Because Galveston Bay is so shallow, it's always safest to enter the channel where the markers begin.  Sometimes folks will cut into or out of the channel between markers 2 and 4, where the water still is deep enough to carry smaller boats. But generally speaking, boats line up and take their turn, counting down the markers through the Channel into Clear Lake.

At least they did before Hurricane Ike.  Now, an eye for debris, a compass course or great familiarity with the channels are the only sure guides to safe passage because many markers apparently are gone, washed away in the surge. I say "apparently" because channel markers have begun to pop up in odd places -  a green marker in a pile of debris at Lakewood Yacht Club, a red light on a pier in Seabrook shipyard.

Last week, I was startled to find Marker #4 propped up against a fence on Second Street in Seabrook, just across from the Post Office. Surrounded by piles of debris and household goods that had been brought out into the sunshine to dry. it seemed less a guide to navigation than a memento mori for a way of life.

Looking at it, I became curious.  If "Red, Right, Returning" works so well on the water to guide people home, what mantra could there be for people trying to rebuild  lives on land?  Imagining a set of rules for this road to reconstruction, I remembered the words of Varnish John, the old man I met early in my brightwork career. It was John who told me in a cafe one afternoon, "After the big 'un, you start where you can start, and do what you can do."

When I first heard those words, I paid them little mind. They sounded reasonable, if ordinary and just a little trite. Today, they resonate with extraordinary truth. My little corner of the post-Ike world is full of people starting where they can start, and doing what they can do.  The gestures are so small, so quiet and undramatic they hardly are noticed. The story of the wine rescued from the Frascone winery in Oak Island is one such story.  Spending an afternoon pulling wine bottles out of a ditch is a perfect example of "starting where you can start".  But there are other, even smaller, "starts" much closer to home.   Taken together, they tell the story of a community returning to life, one step at a time.

 A live-aboard at Lakewood Yacht Club was lucky - his boat survived. On the other hand, his dock was picked up by the surge, shattered into pieces and thrown onto the grass next to the parking area. Watching him carve pieces of the broken dock into even smaller chunks with a hand saw one afternoon, I asked what he was up to.  Grinning like a kid, he said, "I've got a new slip, and I need dock steps. I figured I might as well make myself some that will be a little special."  Special, they are.  Measured, trimmed,  nailed and power-washed, they've become a functional and attractive reminder that you start recovering by doing what you can do.

For residents and visitors who regularly cruise down FM 2094 in Kemah, there's nothing functional about the Schmidt jack-o-lanterns.  The family has been hanging decorations from their huge trees for as long as I've been around, and that's twenty years of Halloween fun.  They've added a few skeletons and ghosties to the collection, and a few purple and green jack-o-lanterns over the years, but the effect is utterly charming.  To see it back this year, so soon after Ike, was comforting beyond belief.  For strangers, it's a cute yard decoration. For the neighborhood, it's a tie to the past, an affirmation that traditions will endure, and a slightly defiant gesture that proclaims the circle of neighborliness and community has not been broken.

Speaking of community, the Sea Scouts were out and about last Saturday, raising a little money by selling breakfast tacos, hotdogs and nachos to folks roaming the nautical flea market.  Based at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Pearland, Texas, Ship 468 sails out of Lakewood Yacht Club (where most of my boat photographs were taken) and has a few of their own Ike-related issues to deal with. One of the girls said, "It will take some time and money to fix up our boats, but we've got the time, and we can earn the money".  You do what you can do.

There's no question that even youth can have the resiliance, discipline and disposition to deal with disaster. When I asked if I could take their photo, they poked and prodded at one another good-naturedly, reminding each other to button their uniforms properly and "look sharp", even in the midst of their ordinary and slightly-hurricane-trashed surroundings.  Watching them, you could feel their confidence in their ability to cope with the challenges of life, and sense that the crew of Ship 468 understands what it means to work as part of a team.

 One of the realities of disaster recovery is that the smallest victories can require a little teamwork, even when the members of the team don't know each other.  I assume - but don't know - it was one of the anonymous crews of debris-removers who spotted the sports trophies glittering in the sunlight beneath the mess at the base of the 146 bridge in Seabrook.What I do know is that someone's heart was touched enough to pull the trophies from the tangle of fiberglass and wood, lining them up along the sidewalk's edge.  They sat there for days, untouched, undisturbed, as though displayed in a formal case.  They were someone's trophies, and they were waiting to go home.

One evening, I couldn't stand it any longer. Driving into Seabrook, I parked and walked back toward the bridge. I had meant only to take a photograph of the trophies, but looking at them, I discovered some were marked with the name of a Seabrook school, and the name of a person. The debris-removers had done their job, and now it was time for me to do mine.Pulling a couple of plastic bags from the bushes along the sidewalk, I picked up the trophies, and carried them home.  The next day, I washed them off and polished away the few bits of rust that had formed.  When they had dried, I re-bagged them, and headed off to the Seabrook Post Office.

Trophies in hand, I waited in line until one of my favorite clerks was available.  Once at the counter, I explained the story, and asked if she knew how I could get in touch with the man whose name was engraved on the plaques.  She thought for a minute before saying, "You know we can't give you any specific information.  But, I can tell you that we deliver mail to his residence.  And, if you were to leave those with us, we could be sure that they make it to his house."

Later in the week, I stopped by the Post Office to mail a few things to my mother.  As I was heading for the door, my favorite clerk looked up from her paperwork and said, "By the way ~ we got those trophies delivered."

Varnish John was right.  You start where you can start, and you do what you can do.

Readers should notice that I don't categorize my assignments by name. I use four different categories in my blog: Blog Assignments, Artwork Self-Critique, Altered Book, and Rants and Blabbering. For those of you in my art class, the Altered Book category is self explanatory. I will file non-classwork posts under the Rants and Blabbering category. Both Blog Assignments and Artwork Self-critique are categories meant for classwork. Artwork Self-Critique will contain written reviews of my projects, while Blog assignments pertain to posts that are part of the assignment itself.

Assignment names are tagged but not categorized. They will not show up on the sidebar, but you should be able to find them if you use the search feature.

OpenRouteService was developed at the University of Bonn and uses the new OpenLS services published by the Open Geospatial Consortium. It was launched in Germany in May 2008 and coverage was extended to cover the UK and Ireland early in September 2008.

The Your Navigation service was was also launched in the UK in September 2008. Using both services it is possible to select a start and end location and a mode and the service will calculate a suitable route.

Here is YourNavigation for a walking route in central London.

And here is the same route by bicycle:

And by car:

OpenRouteService is able to offer similar functionality but can also use real time (TMC) traffic data for the Northrhine-Westphalia and Bavaria areas. The image below shows two areas of traffic congestion in the Cologne area..

The static data on which this is based is collected by volunteers for OpenStreetMap and is available on a Creative Commons Licence. The OpenStreetMap community is currently improving the tagging of road and path data to improve the accuracy of the routing. Coverage for OpenStreetMap is expanding fast in the UK and elsewhere.

San Jose, CA---How can you miss with a panel on making money? This session, with Joe Laszlo, director of advertising at the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB), moderating a panel made up of mobile video executives, was packed. Each executive spoke about his or her company's business model. Susan Cashen, vp of marketing at mywaves described the company as a handset agnostic mobile video service that delivers video around the world. "Because we're free, we're dependent on advertising," she said. "We've also recently launched commerce with entertainment. When a consumer is immersed in an entertainment experience like watching a free Beyonce video, it's a natural for them to be able to buy Beyonce content, both virtual and real goods."

Transpera CEO Frank Barbieri described his company as "building the largest premium ad-supported mobile video network." Networks in Motion is an applications and platform provider for the mobile phone, focused on search and navigation, with a subscription-based model. "Navigation and search is alive and well on the paid platform," said CEO Doug Antone. Bytemobile CMO Adrian Hall said his company provides services to the carrier as an enabler to the end-user. "We basically enable the mobile Internet for the end-user," he said. "And we see user-profile information which is useful for contextual and behavioral targeted advertising."

On the advertising front, asked Laszlo, are advertisers are willing to pay a premium for mobile? Bytemobile's Hall said the one thing that appears obvious is that the more targeted the ad, the more valuable. Barbieri said that mobile has far more focus of attention than the PC, where the screen could be displaying several windows and other distractions simultaneously. "For brand advertisers, that increased attention leads to better numbers," he said. "I think the news is fairly good in these early days." Cashen said about 6.5 million unique come to mywaves every month; they come twice a week and spend 20 minutes, watching 2 or 3 minute segments. "A 30-second pre-roll just won't cut it," she said. "In the short term, there are big opportunities to connect with consumers via direct marketing. There's genius to leverage the video entertainment on the handset from the point of view of a brand. Taking what works on the web on mobile is taking baby steps,. You have this incredible storefront on the handset. Click-to-call, click-to-buy: there's no better measurement. Leveraging the entertainment to create action is where we feel good."

Cashen said that transcoding video for the consumer gives her company information on the consumers. "We have the ability to target by DMA, time of day, and type of handset," she reported.

Everyone is trying to drive personalization and the consistency of brand across multiple devices, noted Hall and more personalized advertising based on user needs will create a dramatically stronger click-through rate. The mobile marketing campaign has to have ways to interact with the user, said Barbieri. "We work with our brand advertisers to brainstorm the mobile marketing campaign and how to target the audience."

Antone observed that his company's business model is different in that the user pays $10/month to navigate. "It's no longer how you get from Point A to Point B," he said. "We want someone to turn it on in the morning for real-time traffic information. Not just where's the local movie theater but what's playing and when. It's all available on your client-server application on your handset. See us as a publisher that's getting your content out to people. Our customers are the carriers, who sell to their customers. That's our strategy. All of them have this $10 price point. At some point it'll be $5 and beyond that it will be zero, a free application. The relevance of this is that when someone is mobile, they're also motivated. When you're in a browsing application and looking for a restaurant, you're motivated to go. Targeted, pertinent advertising that can happen during that search is what we're focused on."

But to get the numbers, the only way the carriers can make that work is to draw in big percentages of their users. To get 50 to 60 percent, they'll have to change the pricing model. "We're betting on the idea that they're going to try to do that and not roll over," said Antone

Focusing on how the Networks in Motion product will one day be free, Antone talked about the challenge. "It depends how good we all are at creating the economics on the back end," he said. "That listing of Italian restaurants in your neighborhood, for example. Would you find it offensive to get a manipulated search, where the restaurant that's farther away pays to be listed first? When do consumers say, Forget it - you're giving me something I don't want. We have to do this in a way that there's enough economics but the consumer still likes it."

Finally, panelists spoke about the role of the carrier, between the extremes of a dumb pipe and a walled garden. "There is a smart pipe concept where there's a tremendous amount of marketing and merchandising power that any one would be a fool to ignore, because they have a connection to the user with billing inserts, with product marketing on the deck," said Barbieri. "There's a relationship that can be used to promote content well. We have to move from a programming-type mentality of carriers to more of a merchandising, marketing and retail type of relationship. And that's good for us and for the consumer as well. We have yet to get to the point where there are tremendous marketing and retailing competencies at some of the carriers, but that'll change.

The carriers could move faster," added Hall. "They are desperately trying to be smart pipes and it's incumbent on us to work with them to become smarter. While they're starting to recognize they're sitting in a unique place and make smarter use of the user profiles they see. By doing that effectively, they'll continue to be smart pipes or, in some cases become smarter pipes."

Les déplacements ne se conçoivent plus sans intelligence. Pour rouler, marcher ou voler malin, les usagers des transports ont besoin d'informations, des informations fiables et en temps réel.
Face à ces demandes multiples, une certaine effervescence s'empare des opérateurs de téléphonie mobile. La semaine dernière, SFR et la PME Moviken lançaient itransports.fr, premier service européen de calcul d’itinéraires en transports publics sur téléphone mobile. Le même SFR équipera de ses cartes SIM un nouveau GPS TomTom. Le GO940, puisque c'est son nom, calculera les itinéraires en tenant compte des déplacements de tous les utilisateurs de l'opérateur.
Et voilà qu'à l'occasion du Mondial de l'Automobile 2008, Orange annonce une ribambelle de nouvelles offres allant du Wifi embarqué dans la Lancia au lancement d'Orange Maps en passant par un nouveau service de collecte de données trafic automobile. Ce dernier projet a retenu notre attention car il s'appuie d'abord sur les traces, anonymes et massives, captées à partir des téléphones mobiles en mouvement ; des données qui sont ensuite agrégées à d'autres sources pour une information plus pertinente ; des traces qui deviennent une source considérable d'informations mais qui soulève des questions multiples (Vous êtes capteur, donnée et exploitant ou encore Quand les espaces urbains du futur posent problèmes).
Nous nous sommes entretenus avec Jean-Louis Klein, responsable projet automobile et télématique. Il raconte pourquoi et comment Orange a décidé de mettre son réseau mobile au service de l'info-trafic.

To help search engines find all of your website's webpages it is important that you provide their bots with a path to the webpages using HTML links. Search engine bots currently cannot read JavaScript links, Flash links or form drop-down menu links and by using these types of navigation you will prevent your webpages from being indexed. It is best to structure your navigation well and provide top level and sub-level HTML navigation links relevant to each section of your website.

Site Map Alternative

If (for some obscure reason) it is not possible to use HTML links within your main website then you should provide users and search engines with a HTML site map alternative that provides a list of links to all the webpages within your website. Search engine bots automatically look for site maps when they visit a website so providing this service will only benefit the indexing of your webpages.

Cross-Link Pages to Help Pass Relevancy and Pagerank

Search engines give more weight (PageRank as Google names it) to pages that are nearer to the top level of your website than pages tucked away in some remote location. This weight can help increase your rankings for search terms related to that page. By cross linking pages with other pages in your website you will help evenly pass this weight around your website helping all pages rank well. An excellent example of this is Wikipedia. You will see that the text in a single Wikipedia page contains many links to other pages and sections of the Wikipedia website all with relevant anchor text.

Avoid Using Popup Windows and Frames

Do not add important information within a popup window link. To create the popup window the link is likely to use JavaScript which will block the search engine bots and then even if the popup window webpage is found and indexed it is likely that when a user visits that page they will have no navigation to take them through the rest of your website. The same problem happens when using HTML frames where you have your navigation in one frame and the content in another.

Quand je navigue, je veux un accès facile à tous les outils du navigateur — menus, boutons, barres d'outils, etc. Mais quand je lis, tout ce qui n'est pas information à l'écran vient distraire l'attention et perdre de l'espace. Je veux que cela disparaisse entièrement.
Quand j'ai navigué jusqu'à un document que je veux lire, je devrais pouvoir appuyer sur un bouton "Lecture", et seul le document, peut-être avec des boutons élémentaires de navigation comme "Page suivante", "Page précédente", et un bouton pour revenir au mode de navigation, devrait être visible. [...] Page suivante, Page précédente ? Eh bien! oui, le document devrait être paginé. Les études ont montré régulièrement que la pagination est bien meilleure que le défilement.

School websites ideally should contain three areas: a brochure style department based on the prospectus; some official pages that contain necessary information required by OfSTED, the LA and the DCSF; and a fun section based on the children's contributions, with safe links to other child-friendly sites.

Simplicity was also the order of the day, with a basic design which reflects the ethos of the school, as well as its corporate image, uniform colour and surrounding area. There are many sites that offer templates for schools, but apart from there being some terrible designs, you can't lump schools into pre-determined categories, neither should they be fluffy, animated, cartoon-like or just plain ugly.

Navigation (accompanied by breadcrumbs) should be extremely simple, and as in one of my school designs, colour coded. You should (nearly - hence the breadcrumbs) be able to get to another area of the site via colours, shapes or motifs which are easily recognised by the children. Each site will evolve organically, as that is the nature of school sites, so a mechanism to enable growth in keeping with the recognition facilities is vital.

Keep to very simple link icons or graphics, with absolutely no flash or other technology gimmicks cluttering up the place. School servers are notoriously slow, so anything that aids a quick download is much appreciated. Also, for some reason, school monitors view sites differently than ordinary PCs, so this needs to be taken into consideration when compiling the design, and CSS and other similar techniques may not have the effect you are looking for.

The element of self-edit is something that is deemed essential for a school, hence why there are so many templates available. But I will be putting into place a method of creating a website for a school that can be maintained by themselves later (after a bit of training), made possible by keeping the whole design and process as simple and easy as possible.

Il y a un petit clavier virtuel sur le iPod touch; je croyais initialement qu'il serait pénible à utiliser, car les touches sont petites et il n'y a pas de stylet comme c'est le cas pour un Palm. Erreur. Malgré mes gros doigts qui touchent systématiquement trois lettres en même temps sur ce petit clavier, le iPod retient presque toujours celle que je visais, et me le confirme en plus en affichant une petite bulle montrant cette lettre au-dessus de mon doigt pendant une fraction de seconde. Remarquable.

Côté présentation l'écran d'accueil est d'une simplicité bête. Plein de petites icônes carrées sur fond noir. Je peux les déplacer à volonté en les glissant, incluant sur deux autres surfaces d'écran pour cacher celles que je prévois utiliser moins souvent.

Parmi ces icônes, celle de Safari. Le navigateur web est franchement bien fait. Deux champs pour taper dans le haut de l'écran: l'un comme barre d'adresse, l'autre pour Google. En bas, les touches de navigation et les signets. J'ai essayé de lire sur Cyberpresse en grand format (et non le site adapté pour appareils mobiles), et le résultat est impressionnant. Le texte est trop petit ? Taper deux fois sur l'écran pour faire un zoom ! La page est trop large ? Tourner le iPod sur le côté et l'image s'affiche en largeur. J'ai aussi constaté qu'il y a une fonction de favoris encore plus rapide que les signets: on peut mettre des sites web comme icônes sur l'écran principal.

Évidemment, je me suis aussi jeté sur la version iPod d'Epocrates, une base de données de médicaments très populaire chez les étudiants en médecine parce que la version simple est gratuite. C'est franchement plus beau que la version Palm ! Le contenu est évidemment le même, mais la navigation est plus agréable.

Il me reste encore des fonctions à essayer. En fait, maintenant que j'y pense, je n'ai encore écouté aucune musique sur cet iPod neuf ! :P

In order to improve customer access to and navigation between VisitScotland's special-interest microsites (golf, cycling, walking, etc.), we've introduced a new navigation 'widget' which sits in the top header area of each microsite and on the main VisitScotland.com site itself.

Clicking on the 'Explore Scotland' tab opens up a panel containing links through to the main microsites, to current promotions and to important areas on VisitScotland.com, such as the Online Travel Shop. The links in the widget will change seasonally or if there is a special promotion running.
