These aren't
retro gadgets, exactly, but that doesn't make them less tubular, or
alternately, wicked. These Get Reel CD-ROMs from Bass Boy pack
tons of interactive data about reel-to-reel tape recorders from as far
back as 1940 to as recently as 1977, with thousands of pictures,
circuit diagrams, owners manuals, vintage advertisements, and more.
The first two CDs cover a variety of players, while the last focuses
on the Tandberg series of tape recorders. Each CD is available for
around $33, shipped.
Steve Schoenherr tells a great story, too, when he details (in the
second link) how Bing Crosby himself adopted the reel-to-reel
technology to pre-record his own shows, leading to the first edited
radio broadcasts and the first laugh tracks, and eventually mutated to
become videotape.

09/21/2004 02:34 AM“Shaders for Game Programmers and Artists”, a first of its kind, is
now available in online, and is selling strong. This book teaches in
an easy to understand way some of the latest real-time computer
graphics such as the ones used in some of the most anticipated games
of the year such as Doom 3 (ID Software), HALO 2 (Bungie) and
Half-Life 2 (Valve). [PRWEB Sep 21, 2004]

11/19/2003 12:27 AM The
Daily Herald is running a piece on Violence and Videogames, and to
any person who plays games, it may marr their opinion of the Daily
Herald for a while. In fact, Steve from
www.HardOcp.com (november 18th
link) wrote the author a letter to explain that what he wrote doesnt
hold weight in the real world. "If a parent wanted their children
to develop attitudes
like Gary Ridgway, the confessed killer
of at least 48 women, these games might provide a good
training ground."
Seems to me like the author doesnt play video games,
especially considering there are other games besides first person
shooters.
"Video games are expected to reach $20 billion in sales this
year. That is a sizable piece of the growing economy everybody is
hoping for, and it works directly against what most parents want for
their children."
A little opinionated, but so am I.

were robbed, just to make sure that we all remain good and cynical....

Fired Will Carpenter for writing a short story. "Some kind of
harrassment," they said, and since Texas is an at-will employment
state, there's not much he can do about it. Is
this story a valid means
of self-expression or a harrassing glimpse into jilted anger? I've
stumbled across more and more news stories about people being fired
for writing, and students
expelled for
writing "dark poetry" in the classroom. How much do you
have to keep secret from your classmates and co-workers?

There are lots of bright people out
there but only so many Bryght people
08/27/2004 01:47 PMCongrats to Roland and Boris and.....
They've just launched Bryght -
a Drupal hosting service. I hung out with these guys a bit when I was
in Vancouver and they're certainly a compelling reason for moving
there.
Vancouver is hot.
Here's Roland's post....
Our latest venture is Bryght, a hosted Drupal
service, "the Salesforce.com of community content". I am working with
Boris, Richard, Adrian and James on this
one. Yes, we are all Bryght
guys :-) !
We have taken Drupal and combined it with web hosting and email to
give you a one stop shop for your community content. No IT required,
no muss, no fuss! Check out The lights are on at
Bryght for more background on how this started. And if you know
of an individual, organization or company that could use a Bryght
site, please contact us.
Whither StreamLine you might ask?
StreamLine continues and it will continue to resell Blogware blogs because we
still believe that Blogware is the best individual blogging
platform.

02/11/2004 09:36 PM Lily Cheng from Microsoft Research is talking about how people
represent themselves on line. The closer the friends, the fuzzier they
want the representations. We need to make social tools fluid enough to
account for the way people's lives change. We need easy access to
friends and people important to us. We want sponatenous interactions.
Lily's group went to a mall and asked people to draw their social
interactions, and gots lots of circles and lines. Microsoft studied
this and built a "personal map" that clusters people based on who they
send email to (TO and CC) and how...

Hogzilla is real. And now, he's real
dead.
03/22/2005 05:00 PMXeni Jardin:
A team of National Geographic experts with nothing better to do
confirmed the existence of Georgia's monster hog, "Hogzilla."
They also noted the super swine didn't quite live up to the
1,000-pound, 12-foot hype generated when Hogzilla was caught on a farm
last summer and photographed hanging from a backhoe. Donning biohazard
suits to exhume the behemoth's smelly remains, the experts estimated
Hogzilla was probably only 7 1/2 to 8 feet long, and weighed about 800
pounds. The confirmation came in a documentary aired Sunday night on
the National Geographic Channel; it will be rebroadcast Wednesday and
Saturday.

Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci
"I want to read the Notebooks, but there are 1,565 pages and I have
too much else to read.
At a page a day it would take a little over four years, but be
manageable.
Fortunately Project
Gutenberg (who make freely available online out-of-copyright
books) has created a text version of the Notebooks of Leonardo Da
Vinci. You can download
it. It lacks the illustrations of the original, but it's Good
Enough.
Using this site, I can read one page a day using my RSS News
Reader. Find an RSS News Reader. I started at page 1 on May
30th, 2004. I'm now on page 3. You can either read along with me, or
start reading at page 1 today.
Subscribe to one of the following two feeds (copy and paste the URL
into your Reader):
¨ Start reading today (starts at page 1): http

¨ Read with me (starts at page 3): http
://interconnected.org/home/more/davinci/2004-05-30.rss" [Interconnected, via del.icio.us/tag/rss]
I am thoroughly intrigued by this, and my first
thought is how similar this is to what the Chapter-A-Day folks do. Of
course, publishers could also offer this service directly to
readers, but wouldn't it be great if libraries did? Or if we start
providing RSS feeds of new materials from our catalogs, what if we
could also provide the first paragraph of each book in the
feed?
