Second Life Goes Bank
I just read over at news.com that Second Life has just become free for all. For all those not in the know, Second Life is a virtual world… a real world, just virtual.
When they started out they also employed an economist to set up the economy within that world, the way of buying and trading stuff. Of course to buy things within Second Life you need to buy Lindenbucks. And Voila … welcome Second Life the bank. Or rather Linden Labs the bank, as they run the place.
You buy Lindenbucks, and Second Life gets bucks, puts them on the bank and if all goes well you never want your bucks back because your are trading in Lindenbucks. Growing the world will mean more bucks in their hands. Making people trade more means more bucks in their hands. And that’s millions and millions just on the bank and you can do stuff with that. They must have a good securities trading department I’d say.
There are actually people making money in such a virtual world, building virtual cars and things. Of course, people also have to pay a fee of $25 for land they own, you know, that’s the tax bit. but if you put a hotel on there and have a nice beach you can earn hansomly. :)
The article states that Linden Lab makes $400.000 a month without membership fees. Congratulations people! Lots of great ideas in that space.
We Will Not Be Silenced
Ok, I just read this post on Master New Media and followed on to : : We Will Not Be Silenced : :.
Fucking Kill Google
That’s the end of a quote from Steve Ballmer, which he seems to have said to an ex-Microsoft Engineer who "defected" to Google. Check out the full story here: John Battelle’s Searchblog: Ballmer Throws A Chair At "F*ing Google".
 ;) Oh the fun war between Microsoft and Google.

Wireless Priority Services
When a telecom tower is full, you will not get a call with your mobile phone through. Of course, they do have Quality of Service systems attached to their entire network, mobile networks that is. In Germany, you will have to be someone special to get this, but it seems that in the US, at least at Cingular Wireless, you can buy it as a Wireless Priority Services. Of course it needs to be an emergency, so you can’t just use it to call your loved ones at new years, but still the system is very nice. It goes so far that if you have a special clearance, and you are being called but the tower you are logged in to is full, then somebody else will be disconnected. Now how cool is that :)
Last Changed JotBox
Due to playing a little bit more with JotSpot, I now created ourselves a little last changed miniWindow for our Toolbar. I really like to know what is changing around me, so something like this should be on the main page or somewhere else. I opted for the Toolbar as there is an error message for people using the WYSIWYG editor on the main page otherwise.
The script is rather simple.

 <jot:miniWindow title="Latest Changes" contentStyle="font-size:8pt;" width="80" hidden="false">
 <jot:search order="editTime-" set="nodeResult" limit="5" forAll="true" />
 <jot:loop over="nodeResult" set="node">
 1. [[wiki:${node/path}][${node/name}]] (${node/time/relative} by ${node/user})
 </jot:loop>
 </jot:miniWindow>

Remember that the spaces are important. A 3 whitespace indent before the 1 will make this into a list going from 1 to 5 (due to the limit="5") in the loop. You simply need to create this code in something like LastChangedBox within your Wiki and then include that in your Toolbar (simply click edit in the toolbar and it will be self explanatory). Bingo, you now have your last 5 changes pages, with the time from now and who changed them in your toolbar.
Design Thinking Thoughts
Ralf posted a deep one again entitled Swarms, Pipelines, Design Thinking and Heraclitus. He is really pushing the blogging part in his work and I highly recommend reading his blog. But I wanted to comment on a few things because in many I agree violently.
For one, focus on the user. Yes! Yes! Yes! Who does really bring you the money? I mean really! This is especially true for web sites. You can’t build your web site for the advertiser in mind. You need to build it for the user, because the user is the one that at the end brings in the money. Without users you are nothing. Of course, you still have a ballance between all your stakeholders, but the user is the one that counts counts counts.
 We are clearly running into wicked problems with innovation as the right path is not paved yet. We are walking around on a plane hoping to find fertile ground and we need to walk. This means you need to change things around, try stuff, measure, watch.
Observation; Orientation; Decision; Action - Boyd’s OODA loop
The wide range of influences that Ralf talks about is really more than a range of influence in one person, it is as Victor Lombardi said in his post, about collaboration. You don’t develop a product on your own and that’s what strangely often is thought with web sites.
The emotion part is really important but that is more of a management issue. You need to make people feel your emotion, pull them along and push them further out.
Leaders don’t just make products and make decisions. Leaders make meaning. - John Seely Brown, Xerox PARC
If your company has no meaning, then it will not build great products. You will build good ones, but there will be no emotion attached to them.
Profits are to business as breathing is to life. Breathing is essential to life, but it is not the purpose of living. Similarly, profits are essential for the existence of the corporation, but they are not hte reason for its existence. - Dennis Bakke, CEO, AES
Ralf currently seems to be working, with others, on setting up something he called Design Thinking Institute. Ralf, I am suggesting registered with JotSpot for a team Wiki. If it is a none profit thing I am pretty sure we can work something out. Just contact me.


Tools to simulate alphanumeric alleles, impute genetic missing data and reconstruct non-recombinant haplotypes from pedigree databases in a deterministic way. Allelic simulations can be implemented taking into account many factors (such as number of families, markers, alleles per marker, probability and proportion of missing genotypes, recombination rate, etc). Genotype imputation can be used with simulated datasets or real databases (previously loaded in .ped format). Haplotype reconstruction can be carried out even with missing data, since the program firstly imputes each family genotype (without a reference panel), to later reconstruct the corresponding haplotypes for each family member. All this considering that each individual (due to meiosis) should unequivocally have two alleles per marker (one inherited from each parent) and thus imputation and reconstruction results can be deterministically calculated.
