Juego de Tronos: un mapa interactivo
Para quienes gusten de explorar las famosas novelas del mundo de George R. R. Martin, ahora convertidas en la serie del momento, este mapa interactivo de Juego de Tronos funciona un poco «a lo Google Maps»: se puede mover el contenido del mapa con el ratón, ampliarlo y haciendo clic sobre los diferentes personajes y grupos en el panel de la derecha ver sus recorridos que dicho personajes van haciendo por los diferentes territorios.
Para que el mapa termine de funcionar hay que mover la barra de tiempo hacia adelante o atrás, lo cual equivale a avanzar en los episodios/novelas en el futuro.
Eso sí: cuidadín con avanzar demasiado u horribles spoilers podrían chafarte las diversas sorpresas con el simple hecho de que sepas dónde están algunos de los personajes.
(¡Gracias Carlos por la pista!)

El último pasajero
Unos días antes de que comience la segunda guerra mundial la tripulación del carbonero británico Pass of Ballaster se encuentra en medio de un espeso banco de niebla y en plena noche un trasatlántico en el que nadie da señales de vida.
Pero en cuanto suben a bordo para ver qué ha pasado comprueban con asombro que nadie puede dar señales de vida porque no queda nadie a bordo, aunque lo más extraño es que el barco parece estar en perfecto estado y la cena aún está caliente sobre los platos.
Debido al estallido de la guerra la pista del Valkirie se pierde durante mucho tiempo, pero algo más de setenta años después de aparecer abandonado un multimillonario consigue adquirirlo y ponerlo en condiciones de volver a navegar con la intención de recorrer exactamente el mismo camino.
Sus intenciones son encontrar respuestas a preguntas que llevan toda la vida atormentándole, para lo que lleva a bordo a una serie de científicos que esperan que le ayuden a dar con esas respuestas.
Pero como suele pasar en este tipo de historias en las que una nave de cualquier tipo se embarca en un viaje en el que no podrán recibir ayuda del exterior las cosas empiezan a torcerse pronto, y en seguida queda claro que quizás no sea un grupo de científicos lo que haga falta para desentrañar los misterios del Valkirie, y que contar con un equipo de seguridad a bordo tampoco les va a servir de mucho.
Y hasta aquí voy a describir el argumento de El último pasajero.
En esta novela Manel deja el género de los zombies al que nos tiene acostumbrados, pero no por ello deja de ser una novela entretenida, aunque no especialmente sorprendente, pues más o menos te imaginas lo que va a ir pasando.
En cualquier caso, en la web del libro puedes ver un trailer y descargarte el primer capítulo del libro para ver si te engancha o no.

First Cut Pro Just Made Post-Production Collaborative Video Editing Much Less Painful
Editing video is tedious enough on its own, but it becomes a whole new world of pain when producers, editors, audio guys, and others are trying to collaborate on a single project.
That’s where First Cut Pro (not to be confused with Final Cut Pro) comes in. The software comes out of Austin, where the company won our TC Meetup + Pitch-off Competition, meaning that the First Cut Pro guys will be ready to roll at TC Disrupt SF in September.
But what is First Cut Pro? Well, in short, it’s a collaborative dashboard that lets multiple people work and give feedback on a single project.
The most important feature is the ability to autopause video. As an editor is watching a rough cut of a project, each keystroke he makes (as commentary to the video) is recorded alongside a timestamp. While he’s typing, the video pauses, and once he presses enter, the video resumes.
Users can also create custom buttons to insert at whatever time they’d like, which are timestamped just like comments are. Comments are threaded, just like they are in most professional collaboration software like Convo and Yammer.
Once commentary has been added, users have control over who can access the project, sharing to others via email with a special pin.
Finally, First Cut Pro closes the loop, letting managers prioritize comment threads and then assigning particular cuts or jobs to various editors.
When the project is exported, the same timestamped comments show up on each editors dashboard in their editing software of choice. Currently, the platform supports AVID, Adobe, Final Cut.
First Cut Pro is available now here. It has a tiered pricing structure, starting with a free account for personal use and going all the way up to $119/month for power users.

Dekko Debuts An Augmented Reality Racing Game Playable From The iPad
Dekko, a San Francisco-based startup that just closed extra funding to build a platform for augmented reality apps, just brought its first title to market with a racing game that has players drive virtual cars across tabletops.
OK, so augmented reality, which overlays virtual items or information over the real world through a phone or tablet’s viewfinder, hasn’t really come into its own yet. There have been plenty of companies like Layar, which built one of the very early augmented reality browsers for the iPhone, which have been around for a few years.
That’s partially because the user experience is still a bit unwieldy with people having to take their phones or iPads out and pan their built-in cameras around. But it’s possible that Google Glass could change all of this.
Dekko, which recently took an additional $1.3 million in funding, is betting that augmented reality’s moment could be around the corner. Other startups are making this bet as well; another company Daqri just picked up $15 million in a Series A round for augmented reality as well.
“We wanted to solve many of the basic user problems with augmented reality. We had a compulsion to at least show something that’s real and fun,” said co-founder and CEO Matt Miesnieks. “We wanted to build an experience that is kind of magical.”
The game, which you can demo below, has players hold up their iPads over a table. On the screen, you can see cars racing across a virtual track. It can turn any kind of flat surface into racetrack that’s visible on the iPad. The app is also multiplayer, allowing between one and four people to race each other, do stunts and crash into each other’s cars. The multiplayer mode can show a single, real-time shared view.
Tabletop Speed Trailer from Dekko on Vimeo.
To me, it sounds like a proof of concept that demonstrates Dekko’s platform, which was built by the startup’s in-house team of computer vision experts. Eventually, they’ll bring their platform to wearables like Google Glass.
“One thing we know about Glass is that our tech will work on it,” Miesnieks said.
Dekko’s backers include Echo Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, Venture 51, Blumberg Capital, Launch Capital, Thomvest, Eniac Ventures, and Zig Capital, as well as angels like Howard Lindzon, Erik Moore, Dan Conway, and Raymond Tonsing.
