Hello, Operator! is the creation of Mike Lazar-Walker, who works as a research assistant at the Playful Systems group of MIT’s Media Lab. The game is designed to simulate the minute-to-minute tasks of a 1920’s-era telephone operator. The software for the game was written in an abstracted manner so it could be run on any hardware—a Mac mini, an iPad, or on the hardware panel that he fabricated on his own to better simulate the experience.

Every project, from small brochure sites to large webapps all have a core set of intake requirements that need to be determined before development work can begin. Designed as the deliverable for these core requirements, Intake Center aims to make it easy to ensure these deliverables for Content Strategy are complete and available before development starts.

In studies, the descriptors used on menus or food labels have been shown to exert a huge influence on what flavours consumers subsequently report experiencing. It’s easily to imagine a similar effect by which an oSnapper will perceive croissants as more buttery and toast-like, and less floury, say, or sweet, than someone who is not trying to summarise the aroma using Vapor Communications’ limited palette. It’s even possible that the oSnap app might even induce a new synaesthesia, in which chocolate is associated with purple and onions “taste” turquoise.

Technology is revolutionizing the way kids are learning, from tablets and laptops in classrooms, to introducing coding curricula in public schools. We'll be talking to representatives of three very different educational tech companies, including One Laptop Per Child, SparkFun and Code.org.

Timeline is a DHTML-based AJAXy widget for visualizing temporal information.

This Drupal module is an integration for a JavaScript timeline widget developed by the SIMILE project.
It works in a similar way as Google Maps but for time-based events. The SIMILE Timeline (and Ajax) libraries can be used from the SIMILE server or can be downloaded and installed into your (local) Drupal installation.
