MP3s of former slaves telling their
stories 01/27/2004 04:07 PM
Mind blowing recordings taken between 1932 and 1975 of former slaves describing their lives.

The former slaves discuss how they felt about slavery, slaveholders, how slaves were coerced, their families, and, of course, freedom. It is important to keep in mind, however, that all of those interviewed spoke sixty or more years after the end of their enslavement, and it is their full lives, rather than their lives during slavery, that are reflected in their words. They have much to say about living as African Americans from the 1870s to the 1930s, and beyond. As part of their testimony, several of the ex-slaves sing songs, many of which were learned during the time of their enslavement.

The Red and Blue Book narratives

The Red and Blue Book narratives 12/29/2004 03:58 PM
As Rayne points out in comments to my blog post on the administration's support of torture, to many Americans the events look very different. America harbors duelling narratives. The Blue Book's narrative is a story of creeping fascism in which the torturing of captives and suspects is just Chapter One. Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo are Kristallnacht and the invasion of Iraq is the invasion of the Rhineland — not in their moral equivalences, which are impossible to calibrate perfectly, but as harbingers: We should be awoken by them as the Germans were not. The Red Book's narrative looks at Abu...

I can't be the only person who is suffering from an enormous collapse in motivation as we enter the last week before Christmas. I only wish I could say for certain that the timing was the only cause. Anyway, the consequence remains the same - I'm not feeling that an enormous amount of value is coming out of my head at the moment. And the stuff that does come out of my head isn't necessarily often being translated to the written word.

I think there's a danger that we conflate these things - that a site that you've used to express your thoughts for a very long time starts to become a burden/pressure and an impediment to thinking. So you don't write your thoughts down in the same way. Are you still thinking? And if not, are you not thinking because you're hung up on the immediate expression of those thoughts. Is the act of writing something down a process of 'capturing' your ideas, or is it just packaging and selling them off as quickly as possible. What if the social nature of your platform isn't something you have time to engage with? How long does it take for a one-sided discussion to lose all meaning?

The big push in my life over the last few weeks has been a very different one. I've been organising stuff. Mostly I've been trying to impose order on my flat - working my way through many many years of paper and bought things and odds and sods of crap that I thought I couldn't live without. I've learned two things - I can live without a hell of a lot of crap and that all imposed order is fleeting. In cleaning my flat I've recognised that writing for my site has come to have the same atmosphere to it as sorting through paper and doing the washing up. It feels like an action that is pure maintenance. Day on day, work must be done. But where's the end result? Where's the epic project with the huge pay-off or the addictive sense of satisfaction that makes everything else seem worthwhile?

I've been pushing for that feeling at work a lot too. Being at the heart of a big project that I really believed in has spoiled me for much of this other stuff. Those sensations of getting somewhere, of contributing and of helping to build something great are quite intoxicating and rewarding. But what to do when your have to move on? How do you get yourself re-engaged in a new project? When your back is to one source of heat, maybe it's harder than ever to discern other warmth around you. Unless, perhaps, the heat is moving with you?

My feeling is that the process isn't enough, the thinking isn't enough, the milking and shifting of thoughts from my head onto screens and across the world isn't enough. Organising stuff, maintaining stuff, keeping the wheels turning - not good enough. I want more. I need more. But maybe there isn't more. Because there aren't ends, there aren't conclusions. Histories are structured in the act of telling. Breaks and shifts - beginnings and endings - these appear after the fact through interpretation. Am I struggling for a narrative closure and a 'brand new chapter' that the world simply cannot afford me? Am I struggling to fit the flows of experience into the same structuring world-views and aspirations to totality that I use professionally every day?

Or maybe I need a few days off and a bit of a change of context. Maybe all I need in the run up to Christmas is a few easy drinks, some food and family in Norfolk and a complete forcible dislocation from the most challenging, frustrating, rewarding and hard-to-get-over year of my life so far. I'm hoping it's true. Is a phase shift on the horizon? I think that it might be, but it could be a mirage. Roll on 2005? Well I guess we'll see.

NYC photobl0gger exhibition

NYC photobl0gger exhibition 03/06/2004 01:52 AM
I went and checked out the NYC photoblogger event at the Apple Store in Soho last night. A huge crowd assembled to watch presentations by seven NYC photobloggers. Among the highlights: - Khoi's presentation of Infrangible. A man after my own heart, he still hand-codes his site for each entry, nesting tables within tables and thumbing his nose at structured data. Databases are for suckers! He also does not resize...

The Virtual Mobile Virtual Network
Operator From 7-Eleven

The Virtual Mobile Virtual Network
Operator From 7-Eleven 04/27/2004 05:27 PM
Mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) are nothing new. Virgin, both in the UK and the US, has been quite successful creating their own mobile phone carrier, despite not having a network of their own, but simply handling the branding and management, while leaving all the technology issues to a network operator partner. So far, most MVNOs seem to be targeting the youth market (often with "pre-paid plans"), and considering just how lucrative that market seems these days, it's no surprise that plenty of others want into the market. However, operating the whole MVNO is probably a lot of work, so now we're getting to the point where you have virtual MVNOs (VMVNOs) who will do all the work for a company, and simply slap their brand on the final product. That seems to be what's happening with convenience store 7-Eleven, who has announced plans to sell pre-paid mobile phones and service under the "Speak Out" brand - though, all the work appears to be done by Ztar Mobile. Other retailers are quickly expected to follow. Wal-Mart is at the top of the list, with Costco and Home Depot also apparently considering their own mobile phone offerings. The idea is to target younger users, or those with bad credit histories, who can simply pick up a phone at the store, and use it until their minutes run out, at which point they can top it up again - back at the store, of course.

This is number two (out of three) in our informal "wandering around the show with a cheap fixed-focus digital camera" series from LinuxWorld. This is not great photojournalism ("That's for sure!" a dozen NewsForge readers yell in unison), just an attempt to give a little bit of an impression of what you might see if you were here.

There's a community center in my town where you can do things like take classes for a variety of interesting things, play basketball, run on an indoor track, or exercise in the workout facility. Until recently I bought monthly membership passes to use the exercise rooms -- until, that is, someone in management decided to start collecting more information about the members and storing everything on a small, unmonitored, Internet-connected, Windows XP-based network. What were these clowns thinking?

LinuxWorld: Pictures at an exhibition

LinuxWorld: Pictures at an exhibition 01/22/2004 10:25 AM
At Linux World Conference and Expo in New York at 10 a.m. on the show's first day, a milling throng filled the lobby of the Javits Center, waiting for the opening bell, as it were. It was a happy sight for Linux boosters, one that hasn't been seen since 2000 or 1999. While show organizer IDG doesn't have attendance figures ready for publication yet, my impression was that attendance was way up over the past few years' worth of LinuxWorlds. Exhibitors were out in force, too. While the show floor seemed to occupy no more square feet than last year, that is probably because while there were more exhibitors, the average booth size was smaller. But those booths were, for the most part, active all day.

Just a reminder that the SENT -- the first major exhibition of camera phone art in the US, co-sponsored by BoingBoingienne Xeni Jardin and sixspace gallery owners Sean Bonner and Caryn Coleman -- is opening to the public this Saturday in Los Angeles, showcasing phone camera art from filmmakers, actors, bloggers, and even proper photographers, like hip-hop scenesman Estevan Oriol, whose work we have a sneak preview of right here. Sounds like a lot of fun; I consider it your duty, left-coasters, to visit in my absence.
