This week Stamen Design released San Francisco Crimespotting. It's a crime map and notification system that allows for time and crime trend analysis. SF Crimespotting has launched just over two years after the release Oakland Crimespotting (Radar post). Stamen had been waiting for crime data all this time and with the launch of DataSF they are able to use an official API for crime data. SF Crimespotting is very similar to the initial release for Oakland. Read more.
Nancy Conner, author of the newly released book Living Green: The Missing Manual, has made it her goal to show people just how easy it is to make your everyday lives just a little bit greener. In a recent conversation, we talked about the simple decisions we can all make which make a big difference, as well as some of her favorite tips & tricks from the new book. Read more.
There is a meme afoot. Apple is evil. Its arrogant ways and dependence on the cult of personality are to be its demise. Developers are said to be unhappy. And, Apple Secrecy Doesn't Scale. Google-ification is the way, the RIGHT way. The Apple Way can't possibly persist ad infinitum. But, you know what? It’s a crock. In the here and now, Apple's success is unparalleled, and the engine is humming better than ever on multiple vectors - products, margins, developers, profits and consumer engagement. Read more.
"With money tight these days, businesses need to find new ways to market themselves without spending a lot. Online brand evangelism is one way to advertise your products, and it costs little or nothing," says Tamar Weinberg, author of The New Community Rules, in the most recent O'Reilly Insights column at Forbes.com. She continues: "If you are looking for a fun way to empower your customers and encourage positive discourse, brand evangelism programs are a great way to promote your brand. Give your customers a voice in the communities where they already have influence. There isn't much to lose and a whole lot to gain." A writer and Internet marketing consultant, Tamr specializes in blogger outreach, viral marketing, and social media. Read more.
You have probably seen the headlines about the largest-ever identity theft scheme that was just broken up by federal officials. The crime ring hacked into the databases of some of the U.S.'s largest companies (7-Eleven, Heartland Payment Systems, Hannaford Brothers and a couple others that weren't named) and stole financial data (think credit and debit card information) on more than 130 million individuals. I wish this was just a one time thing, but I am afraid it is simply indicative of what's to come.

I am big believer that markets gravitate between FEAR and GREED, and that industries are driven by core assumptions about the SCARCITY or SURPLUS of enabling resources. Think about the stock market in terms of the former (it's heavily outlook driven), and the evolution of computing, as afforded by the latter (i.e., the commoditization of processing, storage and bandwidth).

"The iPhone is like a modern-day art cart, full of apps that let you write, make music, take photos, paint, or create interactive stories," says Josh Clark, in the latest O'Reilly Insights column on Forbes.com. He continues: "These apps let you conjure your own grown-up version of a well-stocked art cart with just a tap of the screen. I have selected a collection of apps that are not overly complicated, giving preference to simple tools that let you express your ideas with ease and, often, a spirit of lighthearted play." Author of Best iPhone Apps: The Guide for Discriminating Downloaders, Josh has stress-tested thousands of iPhone apps to identify the 200-plus apps featured in his book. Read more.

- TwitterMood -- using Twitter as a giant mood sensor for the world (see also temporal correlations, via kellan on delicious).
- What Will Remain of Us -- The sea that brought trade to Dunwich was not entirely benevolent. The town was losing ground as early as 1086 when the Domesday Book, a survey of all holdings in England, was published; between 1066 and 1086 more than half of Dunwich’s taxable farmland had washed away. Major storms in 1287, 1328, 1347, and 1740 swallowed up more land. By 1844, only 237 people lived in Dunwich. Today, less than half as many reside there in a handful of ruins on dry land.

Tips & Tricks for Living Green
Practical Advice from the Author of "Living Green: The Missing Manual'
I use frameworks in my Flex code, and so should you. There is some debate today about whether there is any utility in using frameworks in Flex. The argument against frameworks is generally that they are unnecessary, constrain development style, and add lots of useless overheard to applications. I use frameworks in my Flex code because I want my code to be as valuable as possible, because I want to be as profitable as possible. Read more.
My friend Peter Seibel's new book Coders at Work (published by Apress) went to press today. I've been reading a preview copy he sent me, and it's fantastic. The book follows the style of the earlier Apress book Founders at Work, presenting interviews with notable programmers, asking them how they work, about their careers, their thoughts on the software profession, and whatever other topics come up along the way.

DIY SPY, Screencasting, Social Network Analysis, Term Extraction
DIY SPY - a homebrew 2.4GHz wi-fi spectrum analyzer -- As proof of concept (and a cool toy for anyone who has one of these lying around), I have implemented a working Wi-Fi spectrum analyzer on TI’s ez430-RF2500 development kit ($50), a 2-part USB dongle which consists essentially of a CC2500 radio strapped to an MSP430 low-power microcontroller (detachable...

After all the excitement with designing the prototypes and reworking it into a stable maintainable state, system development projects slip into a maintenance phase. We like to to think of this as a well-oiled machine, where requests for enhancements come in and get dealt with. But there can be a design trap at work. The slow addition of these little inappropriate fixes is like the growth of barnacles on a boat's hull: eventually you are not sailing a boat but sailing a rock. Read more.

What is O'Reilly Media?
Technology Books, Tech Conferences, IT Courses & News
O'Reilly spreads the knowledge of innovators through its technology books, online services, magazines, research, and tech conferences. Since 1978, O'Reilly has been a chronicler and catalyst of leading-edge development, homing in on the technology trends that really matter and galvanizing their adoption by amplifying "faint signals" from the alpha geeks who are creating the future. An active participant in the technology community, O'Reilly has a long history of advocacy, meme-making, and evangelism."
