Reshared post from +Kim Shepherd
This blows my mind, love it. All the Transatlantic Sessions videos are great, there's a mean version of Kid on the Mountain and plenty of good old American tunes

Interesting service…I like the visualizations, but wish it were a bit richer in content. Then again, it's a new service…will be interesting to see where it goes.

Posted this over on Perpetual Beta (will show up shortly) but wanted to share here…this is one of my all-time favorite pieces of futurism. Arthur C. Clarke predicting the world of the year 2000.
He got so much right…and his comment about how predicting the future will always sound like madness is just awesome.

Arthur C Clarke predicting the future in 1964 (by elabjer)
One of my favorite pieces ever about predicting the future…as Clark points out, if you make a prediction, and it sounds reasonable, it is almost certainly wrong. And if it sounds fantastic, it will be dismissed…even though the future has consistently been more fantastic than almost everyone could realize. Clark was one of the true visionaries…he saw clearly how breakthroughs in electronics, satellites, and communications would effect the world.
Ultimaker: There’s a New 3D Printer in Town
Yet another option in fabrication beyond the Makerbot, 3D printers are likely to explode in variety in 2012. The Ultimaker looks like a promising entry into the increasingly competitive field.
Check out the Ultimaker blog for more information.
I'll probably get ridiculed for this one, but August is, IMNSHO, one of the best albums of the 90's. Freaking awesome.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of presenting to the librarians at Western Kentucky University during their 2011 kickoff event. When discussing a topic with the Dean, I was told that they were interested in the future of the academic library, technology, and how to manage the changes that are coming. That’s definitely in the sweet spot of my library interests, so I gave it a shot. Below you’ll find a slideshow with accompanying audio of my presentation, along with the Q/A session at the end. The whole thing is about 1.5 hours, but my presentation is just the first hour or so. I’d love to hear what you think, especially if you disagree with any of my points.
