A wonderful documentary about Open Design & Innovation.

Where is design headed in the 21st century? “Delivered in Beta” begins a conversation on these topics and invites your participation (twitter hashtag #od10beta).

The technology behind it;
We use 6 Dell PowerEdge 1950 servers with Windows Server 2003 and Flash Media Server 3.5, each connected with two gigabit connections to the HEAnet network. The Windows Media servers (soon to include the FMS servers) are Dell PowerEdge R905 servers with 10 Gbit/s connections running Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V. The servers currently host four virtual machines serving Windows Media using network load balancing across the VMs. They will soon host FMS VM also.

I updated a 7 minute clip from the Dáil archive to test the new auto syncing of a transcript feature on YouTube. I uploaded the video and a plain text file with no timecodes in it. Youtube did a very good job of creating the subtitles.

To enable “Close Captions” by selecting “cc” from the menu in the bottom right corner of the player.

The tallest building in Dublin city was wired up with two huge 100,000 Euro screens.
The combination of Underworld’s unmistakable talent for drawing on primal energies and Mark Knight and D.Ramirez’s unquestionable production skills and knowledge of the Dance Floor tells a powerful story that is ahead of the curve and pays off with a monster riff in the drop. An insanely infectious piece of music that has feeling and passion rushing through its veins, the combination of tech grooves and intense progressive-build nods heavily to the tight production skills of Mark Knight and D.Ramirez and sees a stunning return to international dance floors for one of electronic music’s most iconic voices Karl Hyde, for this, the much anticipated and long overdue follow up to the 2007 anthem Columbian Soul.
Having created a defining soundtrack to a chemical generation with the almighty Born Slippy and countless club crossover hits including the likes of Rez and Cowgirl, Underworld are highly regarded as one of the best in the business.
Take this heritage and legacy and combine it with one of the most prolific DJ production partnerships in the world right now and you have something very special indeed.
