Flacks Cannot Say They're "Reporting"
Anymore, says the Public Relations
Society of America 04/20/2004 11:16 AM
A statement today by the Public Relations Society of America says that Video News Releases should no longer use sign offs like the one that got Karen Ryan into hot water, "In Washington, I'm Karen Ryan Reporting." The PRSA now agrees that the practice, though common, can be confusing or misleading.

Chicago's public sculpture can't be
photographed by the public

Chicago's public sculpture can't be
photographed by the public 02/07/2005 02:07 AM
Cory Doctorow: Chicago spent $270 million on its Millennium Park, placing a big public sculpture by Anish Kapoor in the middle of it, bought with public money. Woe betide any member of the public who tries to photograph this sculpture, though: it's a copyrighted sculpture and Chicago is spending even more money policing Chicagoans who try to photograph it and make a record of what their tax-dollars bought.

If I were them, I'd ask for my money back. What kind of jerk sculptor sells the city a piece of public art for a public park and then demands that no one take pictures of it? Christ, they should run this guy out of town on a rail and melt the goddamned sculpture down for scrap. Then they should fire the politician who signed a purchase contract that reserved the photographic rights and run him out of town on the same rail. Between the artist's greed and the procurement officer's malfeasance, this is about the vilest display of human venality I've heard of all day.

The copyrights for the enhancements in Millennium Park are owned by the artist who created them. As such, anyone reproducing the works, especially for commercial purposes, needs the permission of that artist.

“To 3 million-plus owners, iPods not only give constant access to their entire collection of songs and CDs, but membership into an implicit society that’s transforming the way music will be consumed in the future” reports Steven Levy in Newsweek. “’When my students see me on campus with my iPod, they smile,’ says Professor [Victor] Katch, whose unit stores everything from Mozart to Dean Martin. ‘It’s sort of a bonding.’” [Jul 19]

Society for HandHeld Hushing

Society for HandHeld Hushing 12/17/2004 06:43 PM

Apparently I'm not the only one who gets annoyed with people yakking into cell phones in public places. The guys at Draplindustries Design Co. have come up with what might be a fun solution, of sorts. Introducing SHHH, the Society for HandHeld Hushing.

That's right. We're tired of having to listen to your loud, obnoxious conversations. We don't care about yer new haircut or what "he" might have said to you the night before. (We couldn't believe it either!) It doesn't interest us in the least whether or not you are going to attend the company Christmas party or when you need to pick up yer ugly kids from soccer practice. Nope. Don't want to hear it.

Simply download this PDF, cut 'em out, and "politely" hand them out to whoever is "spinning a yarn" next to you in the checkout line.

Manifesto for the Reputation Society

Manifesto for the Reputation Society 07/22/2004 06:18 AM
Manifesto for the Reputation Society by Hassan Masum and Yi-Cheng Zhang
http://firstmonda y.org/issues/issue9_7/masum/

Abstract
Information overload, challenges of evaluating quality, and the opportunity to benefit from experiences of others have spurred the development of reputation systems. Most Internet sites which mediate between large numbers of people use some form of reputation mechanism: Slashdot, eBay, ePinions, Amazon, and Google all make use of collaborative filtering, recommender systems, or shared judgements of quality. But we suggest the potential utility of reputation services is far greater, touching nearly every aspect of society. By leveraging our limited and local human judgement power with collective networked filtering, it is possible to promote an interconnected ecology of socially beneficial reputation systems — to restrain the baser side of human nature, while unleashing positive social changes and enabling the realization of ever higher goals.

Race blind society? I wish

Race blind society? I wish 12/21/2003 02:41 AM
Every study of the job market or the housing market I have ever seen confirms the existence of persistent and blatant discrimination against African-Americans. This latest study by the Discrimination Research Center is no different, unfortunately. Temporary employment agencies in California show significant preference for white applicants by 3-1 over African Americans In undercover tests conducted by the Discrimination Research Center (DRC). By ratios of 4-1 in Los Angeles and more than 2-1 in San Francisco, agencies favored white job applicants over slightly higher qualified African American applicants. "African Americans seeking temporary work received less consideration in the form of fewer offers and less desirable jobs," said John Trasviña, Director of the DRC. The results come from 64 tests of San Francisco and Los Angeles temporary employment agencies conducted between May and November, 2003 involving specially matched pairs of white and African American job applicants. Where is the outrage among the so-called principled "race-blind" conservatives? Via Magpie....
