Correction: Jan. 8, 2017 The No. 2 entry on Page T2 about Atacama Desert, Chile, erroneously attributes a distinction to a telescope at a hotel there.

The holidays are upon us, and it’s time to think about books for the giving and books we’d love to receive ourselves. Our list this week is heavy — but lighthearted too! — on books about the visual and performance arts. Among them are works that put us in a celebratory mood, or at least get our minds off more mundane and/or troubling matters. Here’s to reading about creative minds and inspired way
Forget coffee in the lobby and chocolates at turndown. Coloring books for grown-ups — where the illustrations are inspired by travel, fashion and Champagne wishes — are among the latest amenities being offered at hotels around the world. Over the last year Morgans Hotel Group has given guests “Morgans State of Mind” coloring books with pictures influenced by its boutique hotels in Miami, San Franc
As a wine lover with an active imagination, I’d always pictured the French wine harvest as a cross between “Sideways” and “I Love Lucy,” a sun-drenched bacchanal featuring boozy lunches en plein air, rosy-cheeked peasants crushing fruit with their bare feet, and a bit of insouciant grape picking. But on my first morning of a week spent working in a Champagne vineyard, the clouds hung low and leade
It was a hot, late summer evening in Tuscan wine country — and, unexpectedly, I was getting a lesson in astrology. Inside a grid of cool, lush green vines, amid hills and valleys rippling toward the horizon, a cherubic woman in a wide straw hat named Helena Variara was pointing toward the sky. “You have days of fire, air and days of earth — the 12 constellations are our helpers,” she said matter-o

Review: Marina Abramovic’s ‘Walk Through Walls,’ a Memoir of Masochism and Pretension Marina Abramovic’s first major performance art piece was based on an old Russian drinking game. In front of an audience in 1973, she took a series of sharp knives and stabbed each as quickly as she could into the spaces between her fingers. (In the game, there is only one knife and you take a drink for each nick.
There are far more worthy books than any of us will get to read in a lifetime. So you better get cracking in your 20s, at the latest. Below are 12 books earnestly if somewhat arbitrarily recommended. To read them all is to learn about wartime, race in America, growing up feeling like you’re different, how cities are built and lived in, grief, the power of imagination and much more.

以前「ロイターが API を公開した」というエントリを書きましたが、あの New York Times もその流れに追従するようです: ■ New York Times API Coming (ReadWriteWeb) まだ予定の段階ですが、今年の夏から秋にかけて、API と開発者向けプラットフォームが公開されていくようです。 In addition to the API, New York Times CTO Marc Frons told mediabistro.com that internal developers at the paper will use the platform to organize structured data on the site.

ニューヨークタイムズ(New York Times)は半年後にもAPIを公開することになりそうだ。NYTサイトのコンテンツが"programmable"になるのだろう。 ReadWriteWebなどによると,NYTのCTOであるMarc FronsがAPIの公開を明らかにしたという。またコンテンツを再利用できるようにサイトデータの構造化を進めているとのことだ。 NYTの優れたコンテンツ,たとえば映画,書籍,ミュージカルなどのレビュー,各種イベントリスト,レストラントガイド,レシピが利用できるようになりそう。週末のイベントなどをグーグルマップのニューヨーク地図にマッピングできるようになるのだろう。広告やオンラインショッピングとの連携も考えているのでは。 NYTサイト(NYTimes.com)はこれまでも,ブログやソーシャルニュースアグリゲーターなどのソーシャル系サイトでもっとも引用されてきた
いや、ここまで分かりやすいタイトルの本も潔いですが。ずばり「インターフェースがないのが究極のインターフェースである」と断言し、その実現に向けて何をすべきかを考察した本"The Best Interface Is No Interface: The simple path to brilliant technology (Voices That Matter)"を読んでみました。 著者はデザイナーのゴールデン・クリシュナ(!?)氏。AmazonのAbout the Author欄を読む限りでは、大企業とスタートアップの両方でデザイナー/技術者として働いた経験を持ち、現在はザッポスのラボでシニアUXデザイナーとして活躍しているようです。単に製品デザインに携わるだけでなく、消費者向けテクノロジーの未来といったテーマでも情報発信しているようですね。 そして本書ですが、あらゆるインターフェースを攻撃
