Avi Bar Zeev, former Imagineer who invented a Crazy Taxi video game while at Disney, weighs in on a patent dispute between Sega (which hired a Disney exec who'd seen Avi's idea and which quickly produced and patented a Crazy Taxi game) and EA (which has its own Crazy Taxi game). Here's a case where none of the litigants in the patent dispute is the inventor of the patented material. Nice work, USPTO. L ink

Hullut P�iv�t is the bi-annual sale at Stockmann's Department Store in Helsinki which comes just before Easter in the Spring and and at the end of October in the Autumn. The sale lasts three days and most sane people avoid going near the store until after the madness has subsided. I had the Leica and so I thought I'd try to capture a little bit of the insanity on film by walking around while trying not to be noticed.

Everywhere you look there are yellow banners and menacing looking ghosts. In the US, parents would probably be suing the store for such scary ghosts being displayed when it's not even Halloween. The mannequins get draped in yellow cloth with eyes taped on to look like a flock of really tall trick-or-treaters. Mylar balloon ghosts, employees in costume, people pawing over tables piled with stuff and announcers saying something into a microphone which sounds like you're at the drive-thru window make the whole scene pretty chaotic. I had fun lurking around with the camera and trying to take photos of the better costumes until one rather irate cashier started yelling at me in English and then switched to Finnish because I must have looked so startled she must have thought I didn't understand English. :)

Lots of people claim that there really aren't any deals or good sales during the 3 days of mayhem but I don't think that's really the purpose of the whole show. Shoppers flock to Stockmann's as a good excuse to head into the city, look at some of the random new items the store buys just for the sale and then go to a movie or the theatre. Some shoppers take the event really seriously though, so when you see yellow ghost Stockmann bags downtown, walk away from the store unless you enjoy watching a piranha feeding frenzy. :)

"When stewardesses were sexy and the world was sexist" is the tagline of this years-in-making musical by Suzy Conn, who also runs the blogway baby musicals log (which talks about this musical quite a bit). It's meant to be based around the early 1960's, when airlines were truly a luxury, not unlike a sea cruise or a first-class train ride pre-Amtrak. (The website spends some time going on about Braniff International, and it's worth it to check out the history of that airline. This is also laid out on top of the era of Women's Liberation, although it does so using the aesthetic of 1960's music and phraseology, which was, basically, designed by male-dominated hollywood. For everyone who sits in the cheap seats, if you let the flash animation at the beginning of the site load, it plays the entire opening title song for you. Hey, free show!

Those crazy academics 04/11/2005 07:45 PM
The World Multi-Conference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics sends email so aggresively to academics in computer science that they are thought of as no better than spammers. It doesn't appear you can make them stop sending you email. Worse, it's clear they are a place for "dead wood" faculty who just need a paper count for their yearly reviews. So, recently, the academics have been taking things into their own hands by generating bogus submissions. Some with a sophisticated fake paper generator and others with more direct statements.

Just how crazy is Kim Jong-Il? The North Korean dictator is also an uncompromising movie producer whose casting tactics make Bowfinger look tame. In In 1978, the North Korean dictator kidnapped his favorite director from South Korea, and forced him to make a terrible, Communist-themed monster movie called "Pulgasa ri." Keep in mind, the Bush administration considers this guy saner and more level-headed than Saddam Hussein.(registration req'd)

I'm in Geneva, representing EFF at the World Intellectual Property Organization meeting on the unbelie vably misbegotten Broadcast Treaty, an Orwellian masterwork that makes the DMCA look like junior-high playground strong-arming.

The high point (other than working with the amazing coalition of activists that Jamie Love and the Civil Society Coalition have gathered here) was the utterly bizarre self-papering toilets in the WIPO building. I was so taken by these things that I had to shoot a movie -- I knew I could never describe them adequately with words alone. 675k AVI Link

Crazy Reader Email of the Day

Crazy Reader Email of the Day 06/24/2005 04:03 PM

After the jump, prepare for a leap in logic that goes from Gizmodo insulting a Queen to a "breakdown in civilizaiton" that leads to "another 'dark ages.'"

What fell mind experiments did the government perform on the Naval Academy Class of '79?

Charles spasms:

I read this column almost every day for over a year. Something about Gizmodo has been irritating me. It think it's your attempt at humor that makes me uncomfortable.

For example, you can't show disrespect for the Queen. The "lobster claw" comment is bad. This is akin to spitting on your wife's grandmother. She's an old lady... what are you thinking? Would you give her a seat on the subway? Probably not. You'd probably sit there listening to your iPod. By the way, iPods and the like are boring because they isolate people from their surroundings and makes them cold and unfeeling to the world around them.

Some institutions in the world, like the church, must stay intact or it causes a breakdown in civilization. There must be a counterbalance that allows some sort of order; if not you get chaos and anarchy. With this comes another "dark ages".

This is irresponsible. You can't do this to the Queen. You're really stupid you know.

You guys suck. It's media reporting like this that makes the U.S. ever increasingly a horrible place to live.

I'm not reading Gizmodo anymore. Good luck, I hope you make a lot of money.

Charles
U.S. Naval Academy, '79

P.S. You guys suck, how can you 'dis an old lady?!
