Bruce Sterling interviews

Bruce Sterling interviews 01/07/2004 06:12 PM
Two exciting and thought-provoking Bruce Sterling interviews are online today: an hour-long MP3 of an interview with Massi ve Change on the University of Toronto's CIUT radio and a long interview on the future of everything with Mike "Godwin's Law" Godwin in the libertarian mag, "Reason."

reason: Blogging seems to have taken a place in the culture that used to be occupied by fanzines, and maybe by the science fiction magazines.

Sterling: It had its apotheosis in people like Cory Doctorow [author of Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom] and other writers who really aren’t that interested in the old paper world. Cory actually publishes stuff electronically, and blogging is his Weird Tales. He is of a generation sufficiently divorced from the old pulps that he’s the dolphin among mesosaurs here.

Public Bruce Sterling interview on the
WELL

Public Bruce Sterling interview on the
WELL 01/04/2005 02:40 AM
Cory Doctorow: Bruce Sterling is conducting his annual "state of the world" interview on the WELL's public "Inkwell" conference -- you can read along and send questions to Jon Lebkowsky, the moderator, for Bruce to answer.

Well, for two years I've been trying to write a science fiction novel about "ubiquitous computation." However, I'm now so close to my material that, when I went to lecture about it, I got asked to join the faculty of a design school.

It's not like I get tenure, mind you. I'm merely guest-artist for a year, or, as they like to put it at my new alma mater, Art Center College of Design, I'm "Provocateur-in-Residence." But I get a salary, and, more to the point, I get to play in the prototype lab.

I could have said, "No, I've got to finish sci-fi novel number umpteen here," but, gee whiz, if they're asking, why not go? ACCD is one of the world's most-famed design schools, and justly so. I was flattered.

I was in residence for a couple of weeks at Cranbrook School of Design back in the early 90s, and I wrote the outline and proposal for my novel HOLY FIRE there. That turned out to be one of my better books. So, y'know, I'll do it. What the hey.

Bruce Sterling hits his stride on his
bl0g

Bruce Sterling hits his stride on his
bl0g 12/02/2003 01:40 AM
Bruce Sterling's been running his new Wired blog for a couple months now, and this morning, though, he hit his stride with a classic cyberpunk-dense review-cum-rant of a Brazillian electro-pop CD. This is killer prose.

I am digging this thing. Even a white-guy-samba chestnut like "So Nice (Summer Samba)" springs into a weird post-60s afterlife once it's been globally cyberized with a samplerdelic melange of hisses, whoops, whooshes, bleeps, thuds and twitters. The spacey remixes of "Tanto Tempo" sounds like they're scratching at the edge of the universe with thick rubber spatulas.

I pay attention to electronica for obvious reasons, and I can always get along with easy-going, caiparinha-blurred Brazilian beach music... I mean, who couldn't like such stuff, it's so harmlessly sexual and ingratiating... but techno gives bossa nova some serious nova-osity. The fact that these are actual songs, with verse-verse chorus and that ruthlessly slinky beat, gives all that synth dithering some useful spine. Hey, it's "Brazilectronica!" This stuff could conquer the world!

RNC protests predicted by Bruce Sterling
story

RNC protests predicted by Bruce Sterling
story 08/28/2004 03:27 PM
Cory Doctorow: Jonah sez, "I've written an essay that compares the planned RNC actions, technologies and protests next week to the Wende in Bruce Sterling's short story 'Deep Eddy' and the Wende period of the falling of the berlin wall. It's also a piece that speculates whether the actions and technologies employed in the streets will produce any results. Just thought you and your readers might be interested."

And so the stage has been set. Hundreds of thousands and perhaps millions will be arriving in a city full of citizens already hostile to the political party that has chosen to hold it’s National Convention in their city for reasons of emotional manipulation. The police and city officials have set up a number of strenuous and overly aggressive methods of control.

That this event will be anything less than similar to Sterling’s description of the Wende is doubtful. At the very least a very large number of protestors will participate in one of the most varied, vocal and interesting political protests in American history. At the most extreme, the massive disturbance will awaken a number of American citizens to what the Bush administration is really up to and set off a sequence of events that will alter our political landscape.

Bruce Sterling, Beyond the Beyond

Debut of Wired Magazine's first bl0g:
Bruce Sterling, Beyond the Beyond 11/04/2003 01:21 PM
Now online: "Beyond the Beyond" by Bruce Sterling, the first blog launched by Wired Magazine. Forthcoming launches are said to include a Mac-related blog from veteran Wired News correspondent Leander Kahney. From the "Wired Blogs" home page:

Wired News and Wired Magazine Blogs are new features that allow our writers and readers to post their thoughts on recent developments and ideas in their corner of the Web. As a new site feature, these blogs will grow and develop into living, breathing areas for the exchange of links, thoughts, and information.

Mr. Sterling explains that he will not be incorporating comments into said blog:

I plan to blog to this site EVERY SINGLE DAY except for weekends and major nondenominational holidays. Minor planetary calamities such as military invasions, Microsoft worms, electrical blackouts, abject market collapses, a patch of California the size of Rhode Island catching fire from climate change -- not only will these mishaps not slow me down in my blogging duties, they will probably SPEED ME UP. Note that there is NO COMMENTARY ALLOWED in my pristine, high-toned blog here. Why? Because you might be a spammer, that's why! When I have a big red anti-spam button I can push that will cause Homeland Security to arrest you immediately and deport you to Guantanamo, then you may comment. Until then, no blog-reader of mine will ever be forced to endure your lame illegal product pitches, and that goes double for you harebrained flamers and trollers.

Incidentally, I understand these sites will all use a weblog-building tool from Tripod -- part of the Terra/Lycos family of companies, which owns Wired News, but not Wired Magazine, which is owned by Conde Nast. Link to "Beyond the Beyond."

Some Movable Type users abandon Ship 05/24/2004 07:44 AM

Some Movable Type users are moving to Word Press, I have not even looked at the product, but have seen some of the write-ups and reviews. For those that have very generic site designs I am sure the move is a easy one. It would take me a lot to consider moving being that I have a significant investment in our site design. Our web designer is closely tied to the development team at Six Apart and I have faith the roll-out of new features will be on the fast track. I have went ahead and purchased MT Version 3.0 that I felt would serve us best and put my money where my mouth is. I have been vocal about the changes but being vocal and deserting six apart are two different things [Mystical Matthew's Blog]

Microsoft has asked various people who posted photos and video clips of the company's Matrix spoof to remove them from their sites, citing the restriction on photography after the initial minute of Bill Gates' Comdex speech. Those people have obliged, which means relatively few people outside of the 7,000 or so who saw the speech have seen the full video. (The company's official transcript also omits any specifics about it.)

Microsoft to ship Longhorn with RSS

Microsoft to ship Longhorn with RSS 06/24/2005 06:55 PM

Microsoft on Friday announced its intention to fully support the RSS Web publishing standard in its next generation version of Windows, code-named Longhorn, along with plans to help application developers more easily create RSS-enabled applications for Windows.

Officials said the company is proposing its own Simple List extensions to RSS that will better allow the technology to support ordered lists of information. Presently, RSS feeds are sent and received as streams of messages with their order being determined only by the time they were sent. Microsoft's extensions are reportedly offering a way to add ordering information so RSS feeds can more intelligently handle, for instance, a Web site's list of best-selling items.

"The RSS [Simple List] extensions we are developing can allow a content publisher to enable a Web site to publish feeds that represent ordered lists of items. We will make these extensions widely available to developers through the Creative Commons [license]," said Megan Kidd, a group product manager on the Windows team.

Microsoft has already done some "baseline work at the platform level" that supports a range of basic functions that are contained in all applications that support RSS, which should help lighten their overall development effort.

"RSS feeds now come through Weblogs but it will go way beyond that. For instance, if you are at a conference and go to that Web site, subscribe to a feed that has all the conference information, you can have an RSS feed right into your calendar application like Outlook that will automatically update you on all changes being made at the conference like keynotes and sessions," Kidd said.

Some industry observers were encouraged not only by Microsoft's endorsement of the technology, but also because the software giant appears uninterested in dominating the technology and is being proactive in trying to help create commercial opportunities for other application developers.

"When Microsoft would talk about embracing and extending a technology, many would interpret that as engulfing and devouring. In this case, they seem to be really going out of their way to talk about extending but not co-opting this technology. The fact they are releasing this under the Creative Commons License, the same license that RSS is released under, is a pretty big deal in and of itself," said Michael Gartenberg, a vice president and research director at Jupiter Research.

Another upside for Microsoft, according to Gartenberg and others, is that the inclusion of RSS in Longhorn, along with the commitment to help ISVs create compatible applications, is that it builds more interest around Longhorn among developers and users, something the upcoming product needs.

"This should get developers a little more pumped up over Longhorn," Gartenberg said.

The downside about the move however, is that many smaller developers with RSS technologies will have the added pressure of having to be more innovative with their applications in order to stay ahead of much larger developers as RSS-based products become more of a commodity.

Asked about Microsoft's plans to incorporate RSS support into its upcoming Office 12 suite of desktop applications, Kidd said, "you can expect to see some functionality with Outlook," but that the company has yet to formulate any specific plans.

Microsoft will also make it easier for users to discover feeds within their browsers by illuminating icons that allow them to easily see what RSS feeds are available to them at any given moment. The company will also allow users to view the feed live from within the browser, which Kidd said is not available today.

"They will be able to actually see the feed, pick the one they want to subscribe to. We want to make it a one click experience," Kidd said.

Microsoft is expected to make the announcement Friday at the Gnomedex conference in Seattle.

Abandon all integers, ye who enter here! 12/02/2003 12:56 AM
There has been a lot of talk lately about the comment rating system shortcomings and a new and elusive rise of the trolls. The story rating system and the queues have also been harshly criticized during the on-going Fiction overload (an interesting phenomenon per si, since the queues are winning the Fiction battle - no one of the dozens of Fiction submissions has been posted; actually no Fiction article has been posted since November 19th). In my view, most enhancement proposals fail to capture the users interest because they are far too simple and easy to understand. There is a long standing marketing theorem stating that a consumer's respect for a product or brand is inversely proportional to the consumer's understanding of the said product or brand making and use.

Screamingly funny lists of 5 01/26/2004 12:42 PM
Merlin Mann continues to post to his list of fives. I've blogged this before, but it keeps on getting funnier. It took me ten minutes to swallow my mouthful of tea while paging through this, because I was worried that I'd choke on the laughter. Someone should give Merlin a job writing for Mad Magazine. This is, character for character, the funniest goddamned page on the net.

Five possible reasons there's a stretch limo parked outside

1. Japanese businessmen are considering a leveraged buyout of the Sunset District
2. Little Laotian man around the corner is secretly a rich, hostile pimp
3. Someone's about to receive a giant, novelty-sized check from Ed McMahon
4. The 85-year-old man next door is about to get a Queer Eye makeover
5. I'm actually Bon Jovi

Five ways I tend to feel after speaking with Sprint's Customer Service

1. Like I was just traded to another inmate for 2 packs of menthol cigarettes
2. Like I've been slapped repeatedly with a half-frozen sturgeon
3. Like I've accidentally just agreed to finish the homework of every kid in my middle school
4. Like somewhere in a big Sprint building, there's a fat man with a monocle and a top hat smoking a cigar while dancing a jig and holding a fat bag of five-dollar bills with my bewildered face on it

Sterling's Microsoft Research talk 05/22/2004 02:38 AM
Bruce Sterling gave a screamingly funny talk at Microsoft Research last night, and Al Billings transcribed it on his blog.

This year I had a problem because there were 200 people in my audience and I say "Ok, everybody is going over to my house for beer!" and they say "Yay!" and 600 people show up at my party. They weren't the people in the audience. Half the people in the audience normally attend because it's on the last day and a lot of people leave anyway. They showed up and some kind of flash mob thing occurred. There was some kind of electronically assisted gathering happening at my house. Because people were showing up and they were showing up in buddy lists. It wasn't just the usual foot traffic of one and two people. There would be at half-past one...there were sudden clusters or armadas of taxis coming in from two or three directions and people would get out of the taxis and are name-checking each other and sort of clustering together and coming into the party in a mass. Guys are phone-camming the party. It's like "He's not kidding, look there's a keg here!" <snicka> <z.z.z.z.z> and off they come. Actresses are showing up, which is sort of interesting because there is never much cross-over into the film thing. Guys are coming up and saying "Bruce! Your party's full of hot chicks!" There are girls in lingerie tops with stiletto heels. They aren't actually partying. They're not eating. They're there to display themselves so they kind of swan anorexically through this crowd of unix sysadmins and they're, like... <Bruce makes really goofy surprised face> They're awe-struck. Somebody had told them that it was sort of necessary to go make the scene at the novelist's house and they sort of arrived in a bloc, united by phones, I assume, and then departed.
