É que o SAPO ficou um bocadinho mais global! Que neste caso é mais ou menos o mesmo que dizer que o SAPO já não é só .PT mas também .CV:
O SAPO.cv é um projecto marcante aqui pelo SAPO não por ser o primeiro SAPO fora de Portugal mas por todo o impacto que teve na forma como se desenvolvem os serviços SAPO. Foi necessário pensar em tanta coisa! Desde de as limitações técnicas próprias de uma sociedade insular ao simples facto de que diferentes culturas correspondem diferentes necessidades e formas de ver o mundo, pelo que uma simples cópia do SAPO não iria provavelmente ser suficiente
Custou mas está aí! E até vem bem preparado, ora confirmem só:
os (…) foram mesmo só preguiça é que há mesmo muitos, muitos serviços localizados para .CV pelo que se querem um conselho vale mesmo a pena dar uma vista de olhos!
UPDATE: O Celso escreveu um post com (quase) todos os detalhes técnicos envolvidos neste projecto! Vale a pena ler…
This image and the idea behind it, it’s simply AMAZING! Just read along and tell me if you don’t agree!
The Torino Colors project aims to change the way we navigate a city, the image i’ve reproduced here is the colored map for the Torino city in Italy. The idea behind it is very simple:
STEP 1: pick a color for each region of your town. STEP 2: paint all the city appliances and structures (like trash bins, light posts, sign holders, etc.) with the corresponding color…
With a little twist and it’s here that this idea really get interesting!
STEP 3: As soon as you start moving in any direction, you add some blending to starting color, or simply put, when you walk in any certain direction towards another part of the city, the color will react to your movement and start to blend with the color selected for the region where you’re headed.
This way you can always know where you’re headed! Pure genius hein?
If you’d like to know a bit more, and can read italian I strongly suggest that you check their site. In particular have a look at the official press-release and the Google Earth KML file
It’s true, SHiFT is back!. We almost died on our first ’round’ in 2006 but we decided to do it again and today we just gave the first (public) step towards it: we’ve unleashed the dates - set your calendars:
A lot of work, discussion and planning will take place in the coming months, so EVERYONE is invited to help and participate in the discussion! We haven’t closed down the speakers list and there will be space for the community to vote on who gets to go up on stage later on, but if you know an exciting speaker or you’re just wishing your secret hero to be there, don’t be shy and let us know!

Skills: skills that all freelancers need: GTD, marketing, networking, contracts and cash flow
Bargain-seeking tourists have long flocked to Lisbon, typically among the most affordable of European cities. But now the Portuguese capital is also emerging as a cultural force. The new Berardo Collection Museum, in the historic Belem district, boasts a major trove of modern and contemporary art. Designer hotels like Fontana Park and Jerónimos 8 are attracting style-savvy travelers. And the Design and Fashion Museum, scheduled to open in late 2008, will go a long way toward cementing the city’s avant-garde status.
Dopplr just openup for everyone, and pretty much at the same time they’ve published their Raumzeitgeist that translates literally as “Space Time Spirit” and that’s precisely what the image shows: where we, the users of Dopplr, travelled through space and time on our little planet last year:
Britain’s Prince Charles gave a speech on Monday at the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi, and instead of actually be there, he actually used a 3-D holographic projection of himself, recorded last year in the United Kingdom:
It will take quite some time before it becomes a mass media, but it’s already interesting to see how much we’ve evolved in the holographic field. Also interesting, is the relation between the use of such technology and the environmental savings we can get from it, we could save quite a lot of unnecessary trips by using holographic projections instead of having the real person on site, truth is, one does not need to be there to make an impression, not to mention the absence of Jet Leg
It’s obviously not the real thing, it still lacks a bit more of quality I would say, but it’s still impressive hein?
Maybe in the future, conferences and talks will actually be leverage by the amount of present or holographic speakers?
I’m traveling to Milan this afternoon to participate in the Microsoft ENVISION conference. (a special thanks to ‘Canoas‘ who got me in! And of course, to Microsoft for the nice Invitation and sponsoring).
Microsoft Envision is a set of presentations covering subjects around information, communication, minimal user interfaces, adaptive interfaces, emotional design and the dynamics between information and the way that we present it.
I’ll try to blog a bit about the overall event and the different presentations as soon as possible.
Anyone in Milan up for a coffee or drink?
UPDATE:
You can find my short (non-edited) notes here.
BTW, the venue for this Envision event is simply astonishing:
I confess that my daily commuting has been somehow different, since I bought my Segway last October. But it was with some surprise that I got a call from Público, a portuguese newspaper on the last week of 2007, asking if they could interview me for a special article on Segways, which I ended accepting!
What I wasn’t counting on, was that some hours after it was published, I got another call from the national TV channel, asking if they could interview me too! Well you can be the judge and check the result:
DISCLAIMER: Unfortunately it’s only in Portuguese…
First and foremost a Disclaimer: Who hasn’t ride one, doesn’t comment for now, unless if it’s for asking to try it out. Trust me, it’s the best approach!
And now the story! Me and Patrícia just lost our minds and decided to buy two Segways. The first has arrived by a lucky strike last Friday!
The intro is short and for those who don’t know what the heck its a segway, to put it simply, a Segway it’s a Human Personal Transporter, something with a nifty name and that I assure we’re just starting to hear, but it will in our life span give a lot of conversation.
The Segway has been part of my dreams, for as long as the day Dean Kamen introduce it to the world as his “Ginger” project. At the time I found it amazing, and from the first images that I wanted to try it. Well it wasn’t exactly easy, even Patrícia tried it before I did, well she had actually tried a x2, the whole-terrain version, which I haven’t yet tried, so I guess she still leads the way!
During a weekend in Porto, some weeks ago, while I searching online for some guided tours and what to visit on such short break, I found the amazing Porto Tours from Santiago and Mariza, and I have to honestly tell you that I really never expected it to be as amazing as it was! In fact 3 very special and unique 3 hours in my life. Best advice, if you don’t want to increase your expenses, don’t try it! All the rest, add a Segway ride to your personal list of things to accomplish before you die and start saving money!
It’s expensive, way expensive for the Portuguese income, but not all in this life can be bad, and sometimes, you just have to work for something that really drives you and makes you a little happier, something that might change all that’s coming for good!
So I just declare this post an open-invitation for try outs! Will all safeties ON, the helmet and me running aside, as a friend I am most delighted to let anyone that requests try-it out.
Next stage? Be able to commute every day for work riding it. In my case involves two separate tracks: home-train and train-office, besides all practicalities I still have to realize how can I store it while at the office.
