Event Details

Making multimedia files as small as possible is possible by taking advantage of your brain's limitations. You've seen optical illusions, but did you know there are also many aural illusions? The same principles that trick you into seeing and hearing things allow clever algorithms to make MP3s and video files tiny without altering their quality much.

Local web specialist Jack Moffitt will discuss these illusions, the techniques they enable, and why if something looks or sounds good, it is good.

About the Presenter

Jack Moffitt is a hacker and entrepreneur based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He has founded several startups built on XMPP technology including Collecta, a real-time search engine for the web, and Chesspark, a real-time, multi-user gaming platform.

Previously he created the Icecast Streaming Media Server, spent a lot of time developing and managing the Ogg Vorbis project, and helping create and run the Xiph.org Foundation. All these efforts exist to create a common, royalty-free, and open standard for multimedia on the Internet.

He is passionate about Free Software and Open Source, technology, music, and photography.

Webuquerque is a division of the New Mexico Adobe User Group (NMAUG) that is geared entirely toward web professionals and folks interested in learning more about the web.

While we are an Adobe User Group, our primary agenda is not an Adobe agenda. Our mission is to provide a forum for local web professionals to:

  • Exchange ideas and information
  • Further professional skills
  • Advance web standards and best practices
  • Give back to the community

To that aim, we host free, monthly events that begin with a presentation on a web topic, followed by socializing and networking. The goal is to combine education and social.

We meet the first Wednesday of every month at One Up Elevated Lounge in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
