"dancing" for a good cause

"dancing" for a good cause 06/22/2004 08:30 PM
I've been interested in the case of the West Memphis Three for a couple of years. I won't go into the details here, (there are more details in the link) but I think a grave injustice has been done, and it needs to be corrected.

The WM3 are really up against it now, and I've donated an autographed copy of Dancing Barefoot to be auctioned on eBay. 100% of the final bid will be donated to their legal defense (defence, for you non-Americans) fund.

The last auction of Barefoot hit around $150, for St. Jude's, and I think that rocks pretty damn hard. Every single bit helps, so if you're looking for a Barefoot of your own, and you want to help out what I think is a very good cause, you know what to do.

Dancing with Wolves

Dancing with Wolves 04/08/2005 10:53 PM

If you dance with wolves, you will get bitten.  You can't blame the wolves for their nature.  Looks like BitKeeper didn't like getting bitten and kicked back. Unfortunately, that's making the wolf pack very angry.  Meanwhile, Monotone is an interesting distributed version control software.

Dancing performance

Dancing performance 04/27/2004 03:54 PM
I got a dance mat for my PS2 as a birthday present. So far, I've nearly twisted my ankle, and banged my head against the lamp.

But it's actually loads of fun: you get to feel again like a complete klutz when you can't do even simple transfers of your bodily weight. Kinda like when I first started martial arts. You also feel completely stupid because you can't recover from a simple mistake after missing rhythm. And also, you sweat like a pig after 30 minutes on it. Though frankly, I don't know whether pigs really sweat that much.

And in fact, the whole thing has rather little to do with dancing. Perhaps, with more practice, it might be possible to develop a knack for "improvisation in a confined space", but so far it feels more like an exercise routine. A pre-programmed performance, so to say.

But I ain't complaining. I can't dance (any teachers around?), but this sure is quite fun ;)

I was a technical advisor for a Japanese movie called "The Negotiator" which will be opening here on May 7th. They recently did a press conference with the key stars including Prime Minister Koizumi's son who plays one of the cyber-police. They showed the laptops sporting the stickers that everyone sent me. Thanks again! The title of one of the stories about the press conference is, "The Negotiator Mashita, dancing with DEFCON?" The text is in Japanese, but there are some pictures of the actors and the laptops on display.

DANCING IN THE STREETS: REVOLUTION WITH A SMILE

I spent most of my political life as a Republican. While that's a little hard to imagine now, I have sufficient experience to know that the commonly held view that Republicans either can't dance or won't dance is inaccurate. When I was a Republican, I was as dedicated to dancing as I am now and there were others like me, as I recall.

Still, part of what drove me from the party - aside from a categorical repudiation by the current administration of most Republican principles - is a dour dancelessness that crept into Republican "culture." It seems increasingly ironic to call the GOP a party at all...

Maureen Dowd recently observed that the Republicans had become so obsessed with rejecting the 60's ethic of doing it if it feels good that they have taken up an ethic of doing it if it makes someone else feel bad. Moreover, the GOP strategy of basing their root-level organization on Hot Protestantism has infused their ranks with a lot of chilly Puritanism, which, as H.L. Mencken defined it, is "the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, is having a good time."

These were among the factors in mind recently as I turned my thoughts to what I might do to vex the Republicans when they gather in New York a month from now. Furious as I may be at their policies, conventional protest is not an option.

If it were peaceful protest, they would ignore it even if two million people turned up. They have a demonstrated capacity to do that. Indeed, the administration consists of such fervent God-anointed idealists that they would "stay the course" against any opposition short of a majority too overwhelming to rig their electronic voting machines against.

If the protests in New York should turn even a little violent, it will be to Bush's benefit. This is so much the case that I rather expect to see undercover agents provocateurs scattered among the ragtag disaffected who will shortly descend on Manhattan. And the NYPD, while generally my favorite police force on the planet, can get themselves in a froth when they feel spooked. One thrown bottle could result in days of riveting television, during which Bush would have plenty of opportunity to pretend, convincingly to some, that he was Gary Cooper.

Besides, anyone with an explicit intention to protest Republican policies, anyone carrying an anti-Bush sign, indeed, anyone wearing a neither a smile nor a Bush button, is likely to be corralled into one of the remote "Free Speech Zones" that Mayor Bloomberg will graciously provide his guests, there to vent his fury upon his fellow infuriated. None for me, thanks.

I have another idea, and you can help. Indeed, as wild, fun-loving BarlowFriendz, I'm counting on you to help.

I want to dance in the streets.

I don't want to confront the Republicans. I want to discombobulate them. I don't want to argue with them, which would only convince them further, I want to throw them off their game. I don't want to be aggressive in my discontent. God knows there's been plenty of that on all sides. I want to be genial. But disconcerting.

So, to that end, I propose the following: I want to organize a cadre of 20 to 50 of us. I want to dress us in suits and other plain pedestrian attire and salt us among the sidewalk multitudes in Republican-rich zones. At a predetermined moment, one of us will produce a boom-box and crank it up with something danceable. Suddenly, about a third of the people on the sidewalk, miscellaneously distributed in the general throng, will start dancing like crazy and continue to do so for for about a minute. Then we will stop, melt back into the pedestrian flow, and go to another location to erupt there.

Perhaps if we enlist enough troops, we can have several platoons simultaneously exploding into dance around Manhattan, so there will be absolutely no way to tell where we might strike next.

I promise you, this will make the Republicans uncomfortable. They will return to their partisan duties with a sense of disquiet that will slightly but surely fuzz the intensity of their focus. Besides, we'll enjoy it. That alone will irritate them. And we'll be doing nothing they can arrest us for. Nor, for that matter, televise us doing. By the time cameras arrive, we'll be gone.

I have to admit there's nothing terribly original about this idea. I'm talking about forming a standard smart mob, similar to the group my friend Reverend Billy convenes every Tuesday to wander around the WTC PATH station, muttering the 1st Amendment. But it's a start, and I think that once we get ourselves assembled, we will be able to cook up a number of other creative pranks we might inflict on our thin-lipped countrymen.

I may put up a web site that we can use to organize ourselves. In the meantime, I will start a mailing list of everyone who wants to participate. Furthermore, you can go to my blog http://blog.barlowfriendz.net where this will also be posted and participate in the discussion there.

Please e-mail me at once - at barlow at eff.org - if you're interested. And pass this invitation to others who might be.

I've been thinking for some time that the problem with politics is that doesn't know how to have a good time. And it certainly doesn't dance enough. This is your chance to address both of these deficiencies.

And remember the great Emma Goldman who said, "If I can't dance, I want no part of your revolution." What she knew is that dancing is itself a revolutionary act. Come revolt with us. And bring your smile.

Yippie-ti-yo,

John Perry Barlow

Dancing Around The Definition Of Spyware

Dancing Around The Definition Of Spyware 04/14/2005 10:36 PM
The definition of "spyware" is a hot potato topic in some areas. Considering that certain companies are looking to sue anyone who refers to their products as spyware, it's no surprise that there's some debate over the issue. In the past, we've tried to break out the various issue s related to spyware. Part of the problem is in the name itself. "Spyware" implies that the problem with the software is that it watches what you're doing all the time. While that is something of a problem, the real issue that annoys so many people is that these products are installed surreptitiously either with no notification or unclear and misleading notification. So, it's a bit amusing to read about one such company's defe nse to an announced investigation from Eliot Spitzer's office. The NY Attorney General's office makes it clear that the problem they have with the company, Intermix, is that its toolbar is often "installed by users without sufficient notice or consent." That is, it's the installation issue that's the problem. However, the company responds by focusing on the other issue, saying: "The company's toolbar and redirect applications do not collect information about a person's web surfing habits or otherwise collect or transmit any personal information about users." That's great... but that's not what they're being accused of doing anyway.

Controversial social taboos are not avoided. Malaysia's Cat City of Kuching has a Cat Museum; more info on the Museum of Meows he re (Ancient Egyptians shaved their eyebrows in mourning when the family cat died. Malays attached superstitions to cats believing they possessed supernatural powers...) The scullery of Kathleen Mann's Antiques in London's High Street has a "Purrfect Museum" too, with 250 exhibits from all over the world going back to the 1770s, founded by Kathleen and her mother ... Kitty. Not to be outdone, Lith uania and Russia have cat museums as well.
