The iPod is a very special thing. It
deserves a massive set of speakers with sub-woofer and remote and you
shouldn't, quite obviously just hook your iPod up to your stereo
receiver and maybe get one of those less expansive iPod remote control
things. Therefore, we will say very little about the iCarrier and let
you all just bask in its phallic glory.

King's new Dark Tower novel
King's new Dark Tower novel
06/19/2004 01:25 AMToday I finished Song of Susannah, the next-to-last volume in
Stephen King's
Dark Tower series, books that King
started as a teenager and that he claims will end his career -- he's
vowed that the final volume in the series will also be his last book.
I believe him. He's doing the thing that Asimov and Heinlein did at
the ends of their careers, tying in the loose ends of all his old work
and name-checking and referencing all the writers who influenced him.
But unlike bad end-of-career novels like Heinlein's Cat Who Walks
Through Walls, Song of Susannah is a sharp and tight book, a
comparatively slim book of only 400 or so pages. I raced through it in
just a couple sittings, devouring the yarn at speed and wanting at
once for it to be over and for it never to end.
For King's Dark Tower quest is an astonishing series of novels, rich
and wide and deep, drunk on prose and on the best characterization of
King's creer. There's plenty King's written that I haven't cared for,
but I'd crawl on glass to get my hands on the final installment of
the series.
This volume in the story is about itself as much as it is about the
characters and their quest. King's theories on writing are very sound,
and this story is as much about how we read and understand and use
stories as it is a story in and of itself.
But it's never preachy and it's never dull. King's story, which has
all the hallmarks of
cliche, manages to be both startingly original and utterly sane and
crazy.

Tec USB Speaker Tower, Cube
Tec USB Speaker Tower, Cube
03/29/2005 04:22 AM
A Japanese company called Tec has introduced a
number of interesting products, and the first two we'll be covering
are the "USB Speaker Tower W" and "USB Speaker Cube W." The former is
a spiffy looking USB speaker/tower thingy with — get ready
— integrated light. Something like this would look quite nice on
a desk, presuming it actually puts out enough light.
The "USB Speaker Cube W" is a cube-shaped USB speaker (not
subwoofer) with an integrated 4-port USB hub. On the front of the unit
are various dials and buttons for controlling volume, bass and
treble.
Tec's USB Speaker Tower W will run 4,500 yen, and Speaker Cube
6,825 yen.

Just Put A Cellular Tower In The Plane
Just Put A Cellular Tower In The Plane
04/21/2004 03:53 PMIn something of a followup to a post from a
few
weeks ago, Guy Kewney is going through
every
reason given for banning mobile phones on planes and explaining
why it doesn't have to be true. The real issue isn't one of danger
(as has been pointed out many times before), but that each phone would
be contacting so many cellular towers on the ground it would cause
problems for the carriers. The simple solution (mentioned in that
earlier article) is to place a modified mobile cellular tower on the
plane that directs all communication down in a more appropriate
manner. Having found such a local tower, the phones won't broadcast
out to all the other towers on the ground. Still, some are worried
about the danger issue, and Kewney systematically points out why all
their arguments don't make sense. Of course, none of this addresses
the
annoy
ance issue - but perhaps we'll have airlines that advertise "no
phoning" planes or zones and we'll basically be back to where we are
now.

Chicago's Sears Tower to Go Wireless
01/22/2004 02:13 AMInnerWireless plans to support wireless access throughout the Sears
Tower, even in the elevators: The company will build a network that
will offer Wi-Fi networks or cellular networks throughout tenant
offices if they want it. But it must first make deals with the
cellular operators to extend their coverage in the building.
InnerWireless sounds a lot like RadioFrame, a Craig McCaw company
that's been around for ages. RadioFrame sells a box that can be
deployed in offices that users can essentially slide radios for any
kind of network into. The platform can offer Wi-Fi and cellular
coverage from a single device. A few years back the Sears Tower was
having trouble keeping full of tenants. This may be one effort to draw
tenants in. It seems that more office buildings are making themselves
Wi-Fi-ready, which may be a major selling point for companies that
don't have the IT staff to build their own wireless networks. Also, in
this case, cellular coverage in the elevators is probably a bonus
because the building is so huge it probably takes forever to get in
and out of....

BoingBoing reader
Juergen
says,
In Japan we don't only have capsule hotels. No -- we also have capsule
buildings. At the outskirts of the posh Ginza district stands the now
almost forgotten Nakagin Capsule Tower, the world's first capsule
architecture built for actual use.
Built from 1970 and opened in 1972 the Nakagin Capsule Tower was a
innovative masterpiece by architect Kisho Kurokawa. Kurokawa developed
the technology to install the 2.3m x 3.8m x 2.1m sized capsule units
into a concrete core with only 4 high-tension bolts, making the units
detachable and replaceable. The capsules were designed to accommodate
the individual as either an apartment or studio space, and by
connecting units they could also accommodate a family. Complete with
appliances and furniture, from audio system to telephone, the capsule
interior was pre-assembled in a factory off-site and then hoisted by
crane and fastened to the concrete core shaft. Today the Nakagin
Capsule Tower is in rather bad condition and most capsules are rented
out as mini-offices for a monthly fee of about 70,000yen each.
