How Journalists Work

I found this entry in www.bildblog.de which shows how many – at least German – journalists seem to work. They verify their information using Wikipedia, only.

The anonymous author of the blog entry changed the Wikipedia entry for the recently inaugurated minister of economy. The minister has numerous first names. The author invented yet another first name and many German news sites and newspapers published the wrong name.

Video from TED: Den Gilbert – Exploring the Frontiers of Happiness

Just watched this marvelous TED talk by Den Gilbert. He talks about how we misjudge the odds of things to happen in every day life and still are happy. There is also a nice discussion at the end of the video.

TUAW Faceoff: Screencasting

Screencasting — the not-so-ancient art of recording the computer screen for the entertainment and enrichment of others — has evolved into quite a Hydra of options. How do the myriad gladiators in this arena stack up? I’ve tried everything I could find that could record a little movement on the screen, and selected 8 contenders for the matchup. We’ll start this boxing match off with the free apps, and then see if the “money” apps stack enough features on to make them worth the cash.
