How The Tea Seller Became The VoIP
Seller 09/02/2004 03:56 AM
Earlier this week an announcement from VoIP Inc. caught my attention briefly. It appeared like yet another VoIP startup wannabe, that happened to get a pretty good name for getting attention in the space -- if not much else. Light Reading, however, has the details on VoIP Inc. and how it's former name just so happened to be Millennia Tea Masters. The rest of the story is complex, but rest assured in includes convicted felons, reverse mergers and lots and lots and lots of subsidiaries. Not very much actual selling of products (tea or VoIP) though.

Danes invent bomb-sniffing GM flowers

Danes invent bomb-sniffing GM flowers 01/27/2004 05:17 PM
GM plants change color in the presence of landmines.

The genetically modified weed has been coded to change color when its roots come in contact with nitrogen-dioxide (NO2) evaporating from explosives buried in soil.

Within three to six weeks from being sowed over land mine infested areas the small plant, a Thale Cress, will turn a warning red whenever close to a land mine.

« The studio-castle Tarvaspää. »

On our way around the solar system, we paid a visit to Akseli Gallen-Kallela's studio-castle in Tarvaspää which is now a museum. [There is also Kaleva, Gallen-Kallela's summer cottage and studio in Ruovesi, which is a little north of Tampere. ] The house was completed in 1913 and is another lovely example of the Jugend architecture of the period. Gallen-Kallela was a particularly talented artist and illustrator who unfortunately died before finishing his seminal work, an illuminated edition of the Kalevala. The castle/museum contains much of his artwork and depicts his openness to new things such as a tiled bath inside the house, a novelty which he came to know in the US when he was visiting there. His artwork was also influenced by his travels and the difference in styles make it easy to see which period of his life each work is from. Cosmopolitan yet one of those most closely associated with the rise of Finnish nationalism and identity.

I must admit that I've not read the entire Kalevala or the lesser known Kanteletar from cover to cover as, like any national epic, it's long and full of references to things that you have to go hunt down the meanings of if you are to fully understand it. I've noticed that the Oxford translation is awfully dry and lacks any of the poetic metre, which might also be a contributing factor, so I'll be giving the Otava edition from 1989 a try since it is regarded as the best English translation. I have been thinking about doing a serial sort of kalevala-a-day blog, in a similar style to the Pepys Diary online, as a way to get me to really read it and annotate it. I managed to register kalevala.info and kanteletar.net so if I don't become totally bored with the idea in the next few weeks I'll do something with it. And the photos from Juhannus may have to wait another day or two as the weather is gorgeous today for a change and I'm going out into the bright light instead of sitting in the dark cave scanning photos. :)

Xeni on NPR: Renaissance of Breakin'

Xeni on NPR: Renaissance of Breakin' 07/20/2004 11:03 AM
On today's edition of the NPR show "Day to Day," I report on one of the cooler '80s flashback trends -- break-dancing, which is enjoing a popularity boom among urban youth. From headspins to poppin' and lockin', b-boy style is back in the house, yo.

I went to one underground hiphop dance competition in LA recently, and talk to some of the participants on today's program. At left, one of the judges bursts into a spontaneous headspin at the end of the b-boy competition. View more snapshots I took at the event here.

More story background: website of competition organizer Joanna Vargas, an LA-based choreographer: Link. Bboy.com, a popular website for the breakin' community... several judges and dancers described it as a popular networking hub: Link. And Culture Shock, one of the larger groups that participated in "MAXT OUT" competition -- two members were interviewed in today's NPR piece: Link.

While the entertainment industry freaks out that if their content is available online for free no one will buy it, here's yet another example that it's simply not true. Other things, including packaging, certainly come into play. How else can people explain the fact that the 9/11 Commission Report is a best seller, despite being available for free online? At a reasonable price, many people realize it's simply more convenient to have the hard copy.

The Digital Music Renaissance -- In
Spite Of The Industry's Efforts

The Digital Music Renaissance -- In
Spite Of The Industry's Efforts 07/01/2004 05:14 PM
You have to wonder sometimes whether or not the recording industry will ever figure this out, but the power of digital music to make a better, more informed and more willing to buy consumer seems completely lost on them. Andrew Leonard, over at Salon, has written a great essay on how the digitalization of music files has changed his music consumption habits. Note that he's not talking about downloading music from file sharing systems, but having the freedom to discover new music easily, obtain that music without too many hurdles, and then do with it what he wants. That's what's so powerful. While the industry is entirely focused on people "not paying" for music, they're missing the opportunity to engage all those who just want to be better music consumers. And, as Leonard points out, no matter how hard they try, the economics of supply and demand show that the industry will never win this battle. "Instead of trying to prevent me from enjoying my own music, the recording industry should be working as hard as it can to get everything online and available, cheaply. It should be making it easier for me to rip and burn to my heart's content. Because when I'm happy listening to music, it doesn't take much encouragement for me to spend more money."
