World's biggest Devo fan

World's biggest Devo fan 04/09/2005 03:27 PM
Xeni Jardin: Profile of Michael Pilmer, a 38-year-old Devo fanatic whose awesome collection of band memorabilia consists of thousands of items. He's now webmaster for the Devo website. Boing Boing reader (and my old-school pal) Charles O'Donovan says, "This guy used to work for Alienskin Software who make awesome plugins for Photoshop. I met him a few years ago."

Snip from story:

The little white house in Oakwood doesn't look like a shrine. But step through the door and into Michael Pilmer's world. Gaze in awe at the massive autographed poster of Devo above the dining room table, the authentic Devo concert costumes, the Devo pins and shirts and ephemera carefully arrayed throughout the house.

Yes, here in Raleigh, half a block from Oakwood Cemetery, is the planet's biggest collection of artifacts from the band best known for the 1980 hit "Whip It."

"It's the ADD that keeps me going, I guess," says Pilmer, 38, a tall, lanky redhead (it's dyed) in a homemade T-shirt with Mickey Mouse sitting on a toilet. "I'm definitely kind of obsessive, so I just figured I would channel that into one thing."

Samsung Builds World's Biggest OLED TV

Samsung Builds World's Biggest OLED TV 01/05/2005 02:07 PM
Today's technology announcements typically involve smaller and smaller components, computers and other gadgets, but Samsung Latest News about Samsung this week touted the "world's largest" television based on organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology -- a 21-inch flat panel display.

While Samsung has addressed common OLED issues such as power and resolution with an active matrix (AM)-based OLED, analysts emphasized that the 21-inch screen was merely a demonstration and still a long way from the consumer market, where traditional liquid crystal display (LCD) and plasma technology are among the hottest commodities available.

The biggest bully

The biggest bully 03/11/2003 01:59 PM
Maureen Dowd, whose writing I generally despise, has partially redeemed herself in my eyes today with the best one sentence description of Bush's foreign policy that I have seen yet: "Bush officials believe that making the world more scared of us is the best way to make us safer and less scared." I think her description is right on, but I don't buy the reasoning -- in fact I believe that the opposite is true. If people who disagree with American policies think that America doesn't listen to anybody and willing to use overwhelming military force at its sole discretion, what kind of tactics are they likely to use to oppose American policies? Terrorism. The historical record on stamping out terrorism solely by the use of force, without any attempt to satisfy the complaints harnessed by the terrorists, is terrible. Just ask anyone from Ireland or Israel. Being the biggest bully doesn't mean you that you won't get hurt, it just means that you won't get punched in the face. It provides no guarantees for your back or your genitalia....

How to rip vinyl, per the NYT

How to rip vinyl, per the NYT 01/03/2004 04:50 AM
The NYT has published a detailed how-to for converting vinyl LPs to MP3s or CDs. When Napster started, it solved two distinct problems. The obvious one was that you might not have the CD handy that you wanted to listen to (either because you hadn't bought it or because you'd left it somewhere else, i.e., at your parents' place while you went to college), but the more subtle one was that ripping CDs used to be really hard. You needed specialied software, tons of hard-drive space, and you had to title all those tracks by hand.

This meant that once one person had gone to the trouble of ripping a disc, it made a lot of sense not to replicate that effort: better to download someone else's rips from her Napster share than to go through that fooforaw on your own.

Today, ripping CDs is literally a one-click operation, but ripping vinyl is still very freaking hard. Newsgroups like alt.binaries.sounds.78-era often get nice payloads of ripped wax, shellac and vinyl, but the general attack on P2P means that this stuff is getting harder and harder to find on demand, which means that more and more of us are having to individually rip our music, one side at a time, in order to transfer and preserve it (80% of the music ever recorded isn't available for sale -- if you want to hear the song on that groovy LP through your iPod's headphones, you're gonna have to get ripping).

Some LP restoration software suites, including Pinnacle Clean Plus ($100), come with an external preamp that plugs into a U.S.B. port and works with your existing sound card. (Clean Plus and other software choices are described in more detail in the accompanying article.) There is also the iMic from Griffin Technologies ($40, www.griffintechnologies.com), a small input device that converts analog signals to digital outside of the computer, eliminating the possibility of electronic interference from other computer components...

You also need lots of hard-drive space, because sound files occupy about 10 megabytes per minute; that would be almost a gigabyte for all 77 minutes of Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band's "Trout Mask Replica."

Memories of vinyl

Memories of vinyl 08/22/2004 09:26 PM
I've been thinking about audio files lately. There are lots of interesting audio blogs these days and I realized that putting audio interviews for my shar ing economy research online would be a neat thing to do. For the last month or so, I've been diving into audio gear and software. (I'll write about all this in another post when I figure out what I'm doing.) During this journey into gadgets past, I stumbled into my vinyl records from my DJ days. Most are promotional records that Rockpool sent me when I was reporting my charts to them, but many were from Mark Stephens. Mark Stephens was my mentor and one of my best friends. He was also the first person I knew who died of AIDS. Mark received tons of promos and he would share some of the good stuff with me. He would jot things down on the record jackets or on little post-its. Since I stopped spinning records, I've allowed several DJs as well as my second-cousin Cornelius to go through my record collection and take what they wanted. What I have now is a 1000+ record collection, almost all from 1988-1990, 90% crap, with very high sentimental value. What do I do with them? I looked into software to convert vinyl to mp3's but it looked like a real pain. The other idea I had was browse my vinyl for stuff I liked, scan the notes and try to find the music on a file sharing network. I should know the answer to this question, but is this illegal?

I seem to be getting into these diary-like entries these days, but digging through old vinyl and reading the little notes from Mark brought back a lot of memories. I'm struggling with how to bring some of those memories into the medium I have today.

How to rip from vinyl or tape

How to rip from vinyl or tape 09/15/2004 11:44 AM
So, you have five hundred tapes and albums of the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and the like, and want then on your computer? Well, you could spend hundreds of dollars replacing music you already paid for once with CDs. Or, instead of paying twenty bucks per album, you could spend twenty cents per album to convert your tapes and vinyl to CD and rip those. Read more for how. Also, the instructions below will allow you to defeat any copy protection. Period. Just substitute "cheap CD walkman" for "stereo." Caution- doing this in the United Statesor other parts of the world may be a felony. Those in less corrupt, more civilized parts of the world need not fear. Or alternately, you can make CDs of your own band.
