It might have been like Kitty Hawk, NC,
a hundred years ago
06/21/2004 12:31 PM

At 8AM GMT-8 today, 11,000 spectators witnessed Mohave, CA, Airport become a SpacePort. Scaled Composites pilot Mike Melvill added his name to aviation history by taking SpaceShipOne to a height of 100km. The flight was not without mishap as the pioneer [reported] a loud bang during the flight. If it had been me at that moment, I'd now be sending my flight suit to the cleaner. Afterwards, the pilot pointed to a buckled rear of the space craft that may have produced the noise.

The Scaled Composites team can now seriously begin to compete for the $10 Million Ansari X Prize awarded for transporting a pilot and the weight of two passengers to an altitude of 100 kilometers twice within two weeks.

BTW, Paul Allen, co-founder of Micro$oft, is behind the Scaled Composites effort and FlipStart, the mini-PC posted below on 18 JUN.

Hello Kitty Robot


Hello Kitty Robot 07/12/2004 08:52 AM

hello_kitty_robot.jpg imageI know that Sanrio's Hello Kitty is sort of hackneyed, but it's hard not to appreciate the sheer force of an entity that has for thirty years been the centerpiece of a full-on marketing onslaught -- especially one so free from use or meaning. Hello Kitty is marketing Zen, or maybe the lightless black hole of product development. If you gaze into Hello Kitty, Hello Kitty gazes also into you.

So to celebrate three decades of soul-sucking kawaii frenzy, Sanrio has developed, among other products, a $3,700 Hello Kitty Robot. I know! Come inside to find out the details, and we'll giggle and clap and jump together.

Is Hello Kitty a Copycat?


Is Hello Kitty a Copycat? 09/12/2004 11:51 PM
Xeni Jardin: A blogger who describes himself as an "extraordinary ordinary guy in Japan" says this on the 30th anniversary of Hello Kitty:
"Kitty's design was just a crib from ... Musti, created by the Belgian animator/director Ray Goossens (1924-1998) [Ed note: she's the center figure in the BoingBoing graphic at left]. Musti was started as an animation series on TV in 1968, and its picture books were also published. I read some of that books and loved it in my childhood. Although it is evident to everybody that Kitty was an imitation of Musti, Sanrio, the publisher of Hello Kitty have not touched on it. It is said that the total copyright fee for Hello Kitty reaches around 15 billion yen (13.7 million USD) per year, and Sanrio got 23.7 billion yen (21.6 million USD) gross sales in second quarter of 2004. I wonder why they don't feel shady about hiding the fact."
I'm no Hello Kitty historian, and that's news to me. Is it true? Link to post. This guy has a cool blog. His post about Japanese "jinxes" was also interesting.

On a related note, don't miss the image of "Hello Kitty De Milo" in this news story, which is, like, so obviously a total ripoff of some Greek art dude. Link (Thanks, Brian)

Update: OMG! This is turning into one big plushy piracy clusterfuck! BoingBoing reader Eva says, "See my response on Hello Kitty vs Musti here. Basically, I think Musti is in turn a rip off of the Dutch rabbit Miffy, which was published more than a decade before Musti." Link

Hello Kitty Guitar


Hello Kitty Guitar 09/01/2004 09:36 AM

Although this Hello Kitty guitar is about four times the price of what I'd actually want to pay for it... hey, Hello Kitty guitar! The Fernandez-made electric has a built-in speaker and amplifier so you can plug a headphone right in and start writing your ode to ultimate adorability. And while the polka dot version is shown here, there is apparently a matching sparkly pink version the guy selling these can get a hold of. Now we're talking something worth $400.

What acolyte of rock wouldn't be proud to walk through a smokey club with a matching pink gig bag? None I would prefer to rock to, that's for sure.

Hello Kitty has a blog. Ms. Kitty blogs (in Japanese, of course), moblogs, links to her friends, writes of her latest jewelry likes and dislikes, and so on--just like any other blogger worth their salt ;-).

As if that weren't enough, Jo i Ito pinged me when he noticed that the blog, a joint Sanrio/NTT Data project, is running on Blosxom. Take a gander at the RSS output at http://diary.hello kitty.ne.jp/blog/index.rss:
