Thomas sez, "Thought United Airlines covered every possible title? Not a chance. British Airways covers absolutely everything including -- I kid you not -- 'His Holiness' and 'Her Majesty'. Because I'm sure the Pope needs air miles."

Boing Boing audio interview with Mind
Hacks editor Matt Webb

Boing Boing audio interview with Mind
Hacks editor Matt Webb 12/22/2004 01:30 AM
Mark Frauenfelder: I'm starting to get interested in podcasting, so I interviewed Matt Webb, the co-editor of the new book, Mind Hacks, just published by O'Reilly. It's 25 minutes long, and I even created a cheesy Garageband theme song for what I hope is the first of many interviews.

Note: Matt wrote me with the following info -- "This is the McGu rk video I was talking about. Just proving that I'm nothing without my notes, I incorrectly remembered the McGurk sounds! It's a visual 'ga' and an aural 'ba' that combine to the perception of 'da.' No 'va' at all (that's a variation on the experiment)."

The Mind Hack's weblog is here.

Boing Boing reports that US military may
be blocking access to news sites 06/02/2004 07:52 PM

Xeni @ Boing Boing

More on blocked sites for .mil websurfers

Following up on this BoingBoing post about rumors that access to TheMemoryHole is being blocked on military computers in Iraq...

[John continues:]If the request was denied due to the Content Filter configuration is a sentence fragment, but with The content category reported is Gen. News. and If you feel this site was blocked in error, please contact the Help Desk the meaning is clear enough. For whatever reason, "General News" is not fit for our troops. I've been meaning to send her a list of links and ask her if she'd be willing to try to access them (Newsweek? New York Times? Common Dreams? Freerepublic.com [a conservative site]? townhall.com [another conservative site]?) I'm also curious what other kinds of sites she can't visit (geek news? music news? yahoo? wikipedia?) and whether she's prohibited from visiting these sites at work because she's /at work/, or if she's encouraged not to pursue the news in general.

Zaku, can you or anyone in the military in Iraq corroborate this or look into this?

Bloggers Speak Out on the Apple Case
(including Boing Boing) 04/12/2005 03:56 AM
Xeni Jardin: Donna Wentworth from the EFF says:

Online journalism has friends -- lots of them. Jack Balkin, Eugene Volokh, Feedster, Gawker Media, Joi Ito, Gothamist, Rebecca MacKinnon, Groklaw, Jay Rosen, Groklaw, Glenn Reynolds (a.k.a. "Instapundit,"), Markos Moulitsas (a.k.a. "Kos") and many, many more filed a joint "friend-of-the-court" brief (PDF) today supporting the journalists in Apple v. Does -- the case in which Apple Computer is seeking to unmask online journalists' confidential sources for articles about forthcoming Apple products. They argue that journalism is a verb, not a noun -- to adopt a functional test that "will not impede journalists' use of the Internet to report news by limiting their constitutional protections when they publish there."

All of us here at Boing Boing were also proud to sign on to this brief. Link
