Networked, Powered Tiles Concept

Networked, Powered Tiles Concept 09/22/2004 04:24 PM

These "Pervsaive Ambience" tile concept by Caleb Fung would an extremely elegant way to add unobtrusive function to rooms. Each tile can serve as a link in a network, providing power and information to various "node" tiles, including "lighting tiles, heated tiles, flat speaker tiles, and LCD tiles." It would be wonderful if someone would make these; it would be more wondeful if someone made these an open standard.

The Pervasive Ambience tiles are just one submission to Design Boom's '100% Tiles' competition.

Weinberger: "free access to every work
of creativity in the world is a better
world" 09/21/2004 04:55 PM
Cory Doctorow: David Weinberger, author of the brilliant and seminal Small Pieces Loosely Joined, has posted a draft of a great speech on copyright that he's giving at the World Economic Forum in NYC tomorrow:

[F]or one moment, I'd like you to perform an exercise in selective attention. Forget every other consideration — even though they're fair and important considerations — and see if you can acknowledge that a world in which everyone has free access to every work of creativity in the world is a better world. Imagine your children could listen to any song ever created anywhere. What a blessing that would be!

...We publish stuff that gets its meaning and its reality by being read, viewed or heard. An unpublished novel is about as meaningful and real as an imaginary novel. It needs its readers to be. But readers aren't passive consumers. We reimagine the book, we complete the vision of the book. Readers appropriate works, make them their own. Listeners and viewers, too. In making a work public, artists enter into partnership with their audience. The work succeeds insofar as the audience makes it their own, takes it up, understands it within their own unpredictable circumstances. It leaves the artist's hands and enters our lives. And that's not a betrayal of the work. That's its success. It succeeds insofar as we hum it, quote it, appropriate it so thoroughly that we no longer remember where the phrase came from. That's artistic success, although it's a branding failure.

Where's The Border For Real World Laws
In A Virtual World? 12/04/2003 03:52 AM
Last month when everyone was making a big deal over the news that the online game Second Life had decided that players own any intellectual property they create in the game, I said it was a bad idea, since it basically took all of the problems of our intellectual property system and moved them into the virtual world - where it was likely to get more confusing. Over at LawMeme, James Grimmelmann, has been thinking a lot about that very idea and has written an insanely long - but absolutely worth reading - discussion about intellectual property issues as it relates to games. It's impossible to summarize his points, but he explores many of the issues in-depth and appears to have thought about these issues in much more detail than the designers of the various games. What it really seems to come down to is the question of whether or not in-game actions are simply covered by the End User License Agreement (which basically becomes the Constitution for that game) or if real laws in the real world should apply.

Claire Chanel, the person behind the Jay-Z Construction Set, has decided to net.judo-ify the RIAA's spoof tracks, random noise disguised as top-40 singles which it promulgates on the P2P netowrks.

As a follow-up to our last project, the Jay-Z Construction Set, Scary Sherman and I decided to take a fair & balanced route by highlighting one of the positive moves made recently by music industry leaders.

The RIAA-Mix Vol.1 is a compilation of the hottest underground remixes of top40 hit tracks produced by the upcoming talent at Overpeer. These homages to 20th century noise artists and avant composers pull a frightening bait and switch on listeners veering wildly from recognizable pop hooks to jarring digital distortion.

Available at riaamix.com as downloadable mp3s, streaming flash audio, or on a compact disc, we're hoping our compilation can help support the arrival of challenging new music to mainstream exposure.

Furthermore its about radio, internet, blogs, tv news and publishing houses working in concert to pummel memes onto the American public.

Noise Control 06/22/2005 02:59 AM

Incidents like the one Dan Gillmor points to reminds me that I need to put more thought into noise control. Let see...

One idea is cookie sharing combined with cookie persistence. Cookie persistence works by allow people to download and save their cookies so they can restore valuable cookies after cookie wipeout or if they change machines. Cookie sharing is one cookie holder giving part of the rating they earned to another. It's like giving some of your voice to another person whose opinions you agree with or appreciate.

A lot of room for creativity in this area.

Update:

Flip-side of the Cookie sharing is mutual destruction which requires giving up part of your rating to degrade another person's rating. I am still clueless as to whether such small set of rules will lead to a stable world instead of something that will blow up. Still, I enjoy working with combining simple rules to build complex systems, probably because of my physics background.

Another thought I had was that, for systems like Wikipedia, unbiased views are sometimes either not possible or premature. In such cases, I think the right thing to od is to record multiple biased/opposing views to capture the conflict in its raw form instead.

But now, the HRP-2, which is about 1.6 meter high and weighs about 60 kilograms, can hear humans and understand them with its sophisticated software and hearing equipment. It uses an array of microphones consisting of eight omnidirectional microphones mounted around the robot's head. Stable speech recognition is obtained by combining information from the microphone array and a camera also mounted on its head, and by isolating and eliminating noises, even from your TV. These hearing capabilities are essential "for helping humans to communicate with robots in real environments by 2025." For more details and photos see Roland's blog. Also, see our previous story on the HRP-2 robot's dancing abilities.

Noise pollution is a topic that you don't hear all that much about. However, over in Europe they've decided it's time to start tracking information on noisy urban areas, and soon, there will be noise pollution maps of most major urban areas in Europe. Some of them are already up on the web (here's Paris and London). The World Health Organization is worried that too many people are suffering from living under conditions with too much noise - and many don't realize the damage they're doing to their ears. They even claim that being subject to such noise constantly can "contribute to hypertension and heart disease, and may impair mental health." That's right. Your sanity may depend on how quiet your surroundings are. Now, the question is how to quiet the noise down. Not everyone agrees, but having the maps to indicate where the problem areas are could certainly help. Some people are talking about adjusting traffic patterns to try to help with the noise, but a more reasonable solution might be focusing on adding soundproofing to noisy areas where people live or work.

Nintendo's new DS handheld gaming system (which I've been told is pretty much out of stock everywhere, although Nintendo is supposed to drop another shipment on the 22nd) apparently dumps out video noise that can be picked up by some older, presumably unshielded televisions. That probably wouldn't necessitate an entire post, but Jim Younkin busted out his old Sony Watchman to test it, which is one of my favorite gadgets ever (I had a later model that I would often impress nerdy girls with on field trips for the 10 to 15 minutes that the batteries would last).

Troops get high-tech noisemaker : I need this to fend off my cat.

Dubbed "The Sound of Force Protection" in a company brochure, the devices can broadcast sound files containing warning messages. Or they can be used with electronic translating devices for what amounts to "narrowcasting."

If crowds or potential foes don't respond to the verbal messages, the sonic weapon, which measures 33 inches in diameter, can direct a high-pitched, piercing tone with a tight beam. Neither the LRAD's operators or others in the immediate area are affected.

If it can broadcast the soundtrack to my daughter's Barney video, then it may exceed its non-lethal status.

Helicopter versus airplane noise

Helicopter versus airplane noise 12/17/2004 06:36 PM

Helicopters that are descending with a fair amount of power produce an annoying sound called "blade slap".  Beginners are cautioned to avoid this condition because it leads to people on the ground complaining to the FAA about "those damned helicopters."  (One can avoid blade slap by lower the collective to descend more positively rather than drifting slightly down.)  A big turbine-powered helicopter flew over Harvard Square the other day, slapping away.  I was with a friend, call her "K", who hasn't spent much time in the work force.  I asked her whether she found the sound annoying.

"Helicopter noise doesn't bother me," K responded.  "I assume that it is a traffic helicopter or some sort of medical emergency.  What I really hate is airplane noise."

Why?

"Whenever I hear a big commercial jet overhead I think about companies sending their employees out for ridiculous meetings with each other where they will show vacuous PowerPoint presentations and have meaningless conversations."
