Google master, be at the top of results

Be a search engine all weight champion. 5 minutes per day, results not
guaranteed. By Cesar Harada, thanks to Ross Cairns and Nicolas Myers, naughty boys.

==Define a nice identity for yourself==
Choose a good, relevant domain name : if you are a Ping-Pong racket maker, best it to have http://pingpongrakets.com as your domain.
Than it is a good idea to name each of your page, your sub-folders relevantly http://pingpongrakets.com/buy/nice_green_rackets.htm (with title “buy nice green Ping-Pong racket”),  so people would easily remember them and it will be indexed better.

==Submit your URL to Search engines and directory==
<b>submit your website to search engine</b>
Tell Google where to look,
http://www.google.co.uk/addurl/?hl=en&continue=/addurl
Tell Yahoo where to look
http://search.yahoo.com/info/submit.html
Tell AltaVista
http://addurl.altavista.com/

<b>directories</b>
http://www.google.com/dirhp
http://www.dmoz.org/about.html
http://www.dmoz.org/add.html

==Cleaning your pages code==
<b>tag your pages properly, like Chris Woebken.</b>
<meta name=”description” content=”A young energetic designer exploring
Interaction Design”/>
<meta name=”keywords” content=”Interaction Design, Experience Design,
Experiments”/>

==Spread the world==
<b>increase statistically the number of visits</b>
*make good works (that could be useful!)
*E-mail your friends (ask them to spread)

==Keep your visitors inside your website==
<b>increase the number of internal links</b>
Make people navigate inside your many pages.

==Get them into your website==
<b>increase incoming links</b>
*Propose your works to bloggers, make sure you have them in your newsletter.
*Official magazines and websites.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank

==Install Google inside your website==
<b>Install an internal search engine in your website</b>
http://www.google.com/coop/cse/

==Make yourself famous==
<b>wikipedia</b>
Have you written a good article about yourself on Wikipedia? No? Pay someone to do it!
<b>flickr</b>
Open a flickr account, post all your pictures in there, make friends,
ask your friends to comment the pictures to start the fuss
<b>youtube (dailymotion, vimeo, sevenload)</b>
<b>be on facebook, but with not your face as profile picture, post
your work in there instead of family and friends on holidays</b>

==Be a low grade hacker==
<b>social bookmarking (delicious, reader…)</b>
Create multiple identity on socialbookmarking sites and comment (from
your different identities) how amazing your stuff is!

==Stop being hacker, be polite with robots==
<b>map out, clean directory</b>
Create web crawlers readable directory listing:
https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/docs/en/sitemap-generator.html
<b>Create a map of your website</b>
http://www.mypagerank.net/

==Using Google==
<b>analytics</b>
Install google to track your visitors
https://www.google.com/analytics
optimize languages , operating system according to your visitors profiles, geolocalizing their IP adress.

==Publish fake stats about your popularity==
http://www4.clustrmaps.com/
Take still images from other websites stats map and embed in your ownpage (with a broken link to source of course).

==Become Google bitch==
<b>ad word</b>
https://adwords.google.com/

==Be everybody’s bitch==
Stop programming your website, use a CMS (Content Managing System) that automatically includes you in its directories, such as Indexibit
http://www.indexhibit.org/participants/

==Be a slave to the machine==
Make sure your RSS feed has always something new everyday or more
frequently, attach yourself to the machine.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_(file_format)

==Invade==
<b>more domains</b>
buy more domains
<b>more subdomains</b>
create more sub.domains
<b>Create Linkfarms</b>
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_farm
And the nastiest way to invest in linkfarming in buying other people “expired” domains names (that’s evil) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGvEoYjFlRc

==Be a thief : Republish good articles, talk about famous people and events==
Copy-paste good articles from major websites. Prefer the one with quite famous topics, and even better : republish access-limited websites (learn also to be “anonymously famous” at that point).

==Pollute the “real” unsustainable earth==

Buy the medias, print giant colourful posters and stick them in the streets, sponsor events, publish derivated products like puppets, open a charity, shake the hands of major states presidents, top models, actors, popes and soccer players, making sure your URL is always visible, even humbly in each of these cases, the subliminal at work.

==Become a hacker again==
<b>redirection </b>
Redirect the pages you don’t like, or pages everyone goes and redirect
them to the one you want
<b>mirror</b>
Mirror the pages you don’t like, or pages everyone goes and redirect
them to the one you want
<b>cloak</b>
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloaking
and drink enough to forget how naughty you are.

==Loose your friend==
<b>spam</b>
Send everyday thousands of email to promote your work, don’t forget to use a signature engine to protect your indentity …
http://mairas.net/projects/sigeng/
you will need something like this, but better !
<b>Micro-blogging, twitter, tumblr, moodblast</b>
Publish tiny pieces of thoughts, personal feelings, all the time, to everyone, force people to RSS your content.

==Go to jail==
<b>homemade bot</b>
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_crawler
Buid one in your backyard!

==Change your life==
<b>now you are in jail, you have no friends, but you are at the top of
google results, well done!!!</b>

==Edit a CMS, get out of jail, be a charitable hotliner until death==
If you want to become a useful person again in the society you can program design frameworks and content management systems for others, debug version after version, translate in many languages and multiple platforms. After all the evil you have done to the world, you can start to empower others, make sure there is a link to your CMS editor website (in a Wordpress fashion).

==A quick call to Larry or Sergey==
Just ask them directly, they are nice guys aren’t they?!!

==Build something more powerful than google==
Just try.

==But hey, you cant do better than this?==

Today Google released the ice-cream background for email accounts… this feature is just.. TOO POWERFUL… Nothing you can do against this… Too cuuuute !!!!!!  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH Google’s got my soul!

Garrett Lisi: A beautiful new theory of everything

download the video 74mb

Working from principles of differential geometry, physicist Garrett Lisi is developing a new unified theory that purports to explain all the elementary particles, and gravity, in one elegant model. His theory is based on a mathematical shape called E8. With 248 symmetries, E8 is large, complex and beautiful — and Lisi believes the relationships of its symmetries correspond to known particles and forces, including gravity.

His work, explained in his paper “An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything,” and in an ongoing discussion on FQXi, is still on science’s speculative fringe. But some physicists believe he could be pointing the way toward a truly unified theory.

“This is an ‘all or nothing’ kind of theory — meaning it’s going to end up agreeing with and predicting damn near everything, or it’s wrong. At this stage of development, it could go either way.”

Scattered House


Scattered House, Usman Haque & Adam Somlai Fischer from cesar harada on Vimeo.

“[source] Scattered House is an architectural experiment founded on a truly contemporary notion of space, where issues of ubiquitous connectivity, family diasporas, design-by-occupant, and public control technology come together in an installation assembled from inexpensive electronic toys and gadgets. 
We are inviting members of the public to visit the Hungarian Cultural Centre and contribute to elements of the “house” —  they can either bring toys and gadgets that will become part of the amalgamated whole or we will also have a selection of items that they can try hacking themselves. Architects and interaction designers Adam Somlai-Fischer and Usman Haque, authors of the online manual “Low Tech Sensors and Actuators” [download 1MB], will be on hand to advise and assist in this process, as well as Bengt Sjölén, artist from Stockholm.
The three day event will be suitable for families and accompanied children, as well as design (or non-design) students who would like to be part of the event. The public will help design and build fragments of the interactive “Scattered House” which will be exhibited internationally later in the year. People will be able to open up toys and gadgets (that they have either brought along or which are provided for them), gain a simple understanding of how they work, and learn how to connect them directly into the installation themselves.  
No experience is necessary, though enthusiasm for hacking open toys is welcome!”

It was a brilliant experience, I just regret I don’t have so much footage of the installation at the Hungarian Embassy, but a lot of interview instead, so here is a quite similar experiment the same people did, if you want to see more in detail the hacked electronic components:

oh! The world is actually in 3D!

Today I waited for the meeting with the scientists to happen, and I waited, and I waited … So I decided to enjoy myself learning 3D with sketchup! Whaaaat ???!!! You haven’t downloaded it yet???!!! It’s free, it’s amazingly simple, it’s google, I did all the video tutorials today, I am not a pro at all, but I see things in 3D now! I do dream in 3D in a nice simple interface, aaaaaaaaaahhhhh soo good, so much fun …

http://cesarharada.com/pearls/mypearls/2008/0619sketchupsnap.jpg

So, you know how naughty I am, when I have this much, I want much more… I want

SketchyPhysics for mac!!! Please develop it, Google, I know you hear me, I am not the only one, pleaaase!

Waaah, I’m almot crying looking at this video, so great!!! PIANO!!
Ah, of course, for those who can’t wait [like I], enjoy SODACONSTRUCTOR, by soda.co.uk, amazing as well, java, free, download for both mac and PC. If you want to know more about computer physic engine, check out the wikipedia article, and more geekerie here about procedural Design for the tough ones (wiki of the students from North Carolina State University, well done).

Oh, and of course, before I forget “Morphogenesis: Shaping Swarms of Intelligent Robots“, IRIDIA code of the Universite Libre de Bruxelles, amazing.

Now in your mind combine the [ Sketchyphysics + swarm intelligence robotics + some light-weight powerfull graphic engine like open GL on a minimal operating system like symbian ] …IMAGINE!

ooops, 6:20 AM, time to sleep!

Dear Sir Tim May

THE text that took away my mind when I did “Liquid Economy” is “The Crypto Anarchist Manifesto“, 1992 Timothy C. May, almost everything is in there, a piece of pure genius… Who will make it happen? When will it happen?

Asus Eee Linux Laptop

asus Eee Laptop

I think I may usualy not use this blog to advert for new gadgets, but this tiny Laptop captured my attention. For £219 you get a 225×35x165mm, 920gr of Ultra-portable 7″ display Linux laptop, with Intel Mobile Celeron-M ULV 900MHz CPU, 1G (DDR2) of RAM, 8GB of SSD (Solid Storage Disc), camera, in/out sound, D-Sub video output for external screen/presentation, 3 USB ports, ethernet, good wireless internet connectivity ( 802.11b/g) and you can add a 3G internal modem (connecting to mobile phone internet for an extra £40); 2 to 3 hours battery + extra external if required. This laptop is ready to go (system + 40 basic softwares like Firefox, Skype, OpenOffice and SMPlayer for video playback + all the open source software you’d want to have for free!) , fast at start (30 seconds), the strong screen and Solid Storage Disc make it very easy to shake it around without worring for your data + an extra card reader space (you can add up to 32GB of flash memory easily). I think it is a very good travel companion (long journey you want to share on-line) with its tiny power adaptator size of mobile phone ones. Read full review and product page. More ultraportables.
