Sweeper : Automatically tag your music collection with metadata from Last.fm
by sbrothier & 1 other (via)
A while back Last.fm released a command line tool to retrieve metadata for an arbitrary mp3 from their new fingerprint database. I tried it yesterday and it seemed way better than MusicBrainz. So, as a person with a lot of random mp3s, I cooked up a script for retagging entire folders of songs.
Last.fm Tagger
by sbrothier
So, I'm trying my hand at Cocoa, namely RubyCocoa. Objective-C is a bit out of my grasp right now. If I start needing big performance boosts, I'll go that route. In the meantime, writing RubyCocoa apps is insanely fun. I wrote this basic tagger in 2 days (roughly 6 hours) and it works pretty well!
If you plan on trying out this app, create a small playlist with the name 'lastfmtagger' and put a few albums in there.

visualcomplexity.com | Typographic Links
by sbrothier
This is a stunningly fresh and appealing approach to physical tagging, folksonomy or maps of relatedness. Typographic Links is a collectable hand-sewn publication, which maps interesting links and connections through the world of typography. The aim was to create a book and accompanying poster that took a light-hearted look at typographic practice. Thread is used to create three-dimensional hyperlinks that guide the reader through the pages of the book.

Book : The Wisdom of Crowds - Wikipedia
by nilebma (via)
The Wisdom of Crowds: Why the Many Are Smarter Than the Few and How Collective Wisdom Shapes Business, Economies, Societies and Nations, first published in 2004, is a book written by James Surowiecki about the aggregation of information in groups, resulting in decisions that, he argues, are often better than could have been made by any single member of the group. The book presents numerous case studies and anecdotes to illustrate its argument, and touches on several fields, primarily economics and psychology.
