PhotoFilmStrip

PhotoFilmStrip creates movies out of your pictures in just 3 steps. First select your photos, customize the motion path and render the video. There are several output possibilities for VCD, SVCD, DVD up to FULL-HD.
The effect of the slideshow is known as "Ken Burns". Comments of the pictures are generated into a subtitle file. Furthermore an audio file can be specified to setup the background musice for the slide show.

electric sheep

Electric Sheep is a collaborative abstract artwork founded by Scott Draves. It's run by thousands of people all over the world, and can be installed on any ordinary PC, Mac, Android, or iPad. When these computers "sleep", the Electric Sheep comes on and the computers communicate with each other by the internet to share the work of creating morphing abstract animations known as "sheep".
Anyone watching one of these computers may vote for their favorite animations using the keyboard. The more popular sheep live longer and reproduce according to a genetic algorithm with mutation and cross-over. Hence the flock evolves to please its global audience. You can also design your own sheep and submit them to the gene pool.
The result is a collective "android dream", blending man and machine to create an artificial lifeform.

Geomerative - a Processing library

Geomerative is a library for Processing. It extends 2D geometry operations to facilitate generative geometry. Includes a TrueType font and an SVG interpreters. This library exposes the shapes (such as vector drawings or typographies) in a more approchable way. Geomerative makes it easy to access the paths, the handles and the points, making it easy to develop generative typography and geometry pieces in Processing.

clone a hard drive

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/19141/clone-a-hard-drive-using-an-ubuntu-live-cd/

Whether you’re setting up multiple computers or doing a full backup, cloning hard drives is a common maintenance task. Don’t bother burning a new boot CD or paying for new software – you can do it easily with your Ubuntu Live CD.
Not only can you do this with your Ubuntu Live CD, you can do it right out of the box – no additional software needed! The program we’ll use is called dd, and it’s included with pretty much all Linux distributions. dd is a utility used to do low-level copying – rather than working with files, it works directly on the raw data on a storage device.

sudo fdisk –l
sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdc

SharpCap

Webcam astronomical software . free

http://www.sharpcap.co.uk/

"SharpCap is a fairly comprehensive webcam and Astronomy camera capture tool. It is primarily designed for astronomical use.
I wrote it because I got fed up with the awkward control over camera settings in programs like Amcap, Open Video Capture, etc.
The main goals were to be easy to use when observing, and to help avoid mistakes like capturing with the wrong resolution or camera settings, or overwriting an existing file accidentally."

R

R is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics.

http://www.r-project.org/

R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. It is a GNU project which is similar to the S language and environment which was developed at Bell Laboratories (formerly AT&T, now Lucent Technologies) by John Chambers and colleagues. R can be considered as a different implementation of S. There are some important differences, but much code written for S runs unaltered under R.
R provides a wide variety of statistical (linear and nonlinear modelling, classical statistical tests, time-series analysis, classification, clustering, ...) and graphical techniques, and is highly extensible. The S language is often the vehicle of choice for research in statistical methodology, and R provides an Open Source route to participation in that activity.
One of R's strengths is the ease with which well-designed publication-quality plots can be produced, including mathematical symbols and formulae where needed. Great care has been taken over the defaults for the minor design choices in graphics, but the user retains full control.

fixing the new research workflow

I search
I open tabs
capture the interesting pages / articles /urls /selections with Evernote's WebClipper

I add an entry to myBrain with the conclusions.

but then: how to fix them into a text, an article, a presentation... an outliner? word processor?

content clipper

I need a tool to extract and organize content from web pages.
I wish I could use DevonThink, but ther's no Win version.
Tried some small note & outliners:

• KeyNote NF
• RedNotebook

were the best

But I'd like to clip and paste and organize as I search and find...
then shape it all as an article... or sometimes a presentation...

That's the new research paradigm: we need a tool to enhance our brains capabilities, and a new workflow that can handle the information overload.

A new candidate:

• Springpad

But I'm testing the new WebClipper in Evernote.
I'll get into Javascript, Processing.js and Several DataVisualization libraries.
That's quite huge, so I need to write my development down.

Let's see how it works

creating myBrain

a new aproach to an old problem
