The iPod is proving a colossal hit on the Japanese electronics and entertainment giant Sony's own turf. The tiny white machine is catching on as a fashion statement and turning into a cultural icon in Japan, much the same way it won a fanatic following in the United States. Although Apple doesn't release regional sales figures, six of the top eight selling music players in Japan are iPod models, according to a market research company.

Precisely One Hour of House-Cleaning
Music... 04/09/2004 03:54 PM

New concept - don't clean until your house is clean, instead merely allocate time to the cleaning process and clean until that time is over whether you finish or not. Also if you finish before the time is up (unlikely) then clean something better than you would normally. I started this insane cleaning regimen yesterday with a statement that I would clean in a high-impact fashion for no more and no less than precisely one hour. I created an iTunes playlist full of motivational music with the sole intention of keeping me psyched about the whole horrors of cleaning my flat. It is precisely one hour long and is called Precisely One Hour of House-Cleaning Music. It contains a fair amount of cheese, for the specific reason that it's designed to get the heart-pounding and the mind focused on doing things (rather than being subtle or nuanced in any way) so don't get on my case about how lame it is. The first tune is designed to set the scene and the final one to get the pace back down to useful human-levels. List follows:

1. "Main Title", Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Once More with Feeling
2. "Because We Can", Moulin Rouge Soundtrack
3. "God Save the Queen", Sex Pistols
4. "Don't Be Light", Air
5. "Fix Up, Look Sharp", Dizzee Rascal
6. "Baby, I'm a Star", Prince and the Revolution
7. "Live at Dominoes", The Avalanches
8. "Love Burns", Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
9. "Star Guitar", Chemical Brothers
10. "Superheroes", Daft Punk
11. "Fire Up the Shoesaw", Lionrock
12. "Twist and Shout", Backbeat Soundtrack
13. "Kodachrome", Paul Simon
14. "I Fought the Law", Green Day
15. "My weakness", Moby

Length of playlist 1 hour and zero minutes and zero seconds. Your time may vary based upon whether or not you cross-fade your songs or have inserted seconds of blank-space at the beginnings of your tracks.

« It's not your father's fortran, it's your grandfather's. :) »

The recent news about the problems plaguing Leica are somewhat disconcerting as it leaves the future of the company in question. It is likely that someone will buy them, probably Nikon or Canon, but ultimately the company and their products will change, possibly not for the better. Erwin Putz offers his observations and some speculation on the future. I appreciate and understand his remarks about the Leica's real purpose in life is to be a tool, rather than an object of desire for collectors and nouveau riche scene whores who find the Hermes MP a fashion accessory only surpassed by earrings from Tiffany. I have been regularly surprised at how many people recognise the camera and either want to fondle it in awe or think I'm crazy for dragging it around town with me everywhere I go. Cameras don't take pictures by themselves; they are meant to be used. I didn't buy it to keep in a box on the shelf. It is, perhaps, this perceived exclusivity of Leica that has created the mystique which protected it from becoming a cheap commodity.

It is, to be sure, an amazing instrument of satisfying heft in a small package which continues to impress me. Desire most often builds up expectations which then lead to disappointment. I was a little reluctant to buy a Leica having experienced this cycle of want and rejection so many times in life, but I saw an auction on eBay where a man who had purchased a Leica only months before had died and his son was dumping it on eBay which made me think that I shouldn't wait as long as his father did. Digital photography has made buying film cameras very affordable as I bid rather low and won the auction. I have not been even remotely disappointed since it arrived. I enjoy the signs of wear and tear as it only makes the camera more beautiful and uniquely mine.

Leica will move more into the digital realm, especially if they decide to sell out to one of the larger camera companies, where the technology just hasn't reached the point of matching the quality or creative flexibility that their analogue cameras with film have had for decades. If you've always wanted a Leica, an M6 or an M7 or an MP, now is the time to surf eBay and used camera shops for a decent deal since it's likely that as scarcity increases [if Leica sells to Canon, et. al] the prices will skyrocket as I've already seen them start to creep up. The new Voigtländer Bessa R2A and R3A are very tempting cameras [I highly recommend the CameraQuest dealer, too], especially the 1:1 finder, and sell at 1/5th the price of a new M7. It's a good time to be interested in film photography since the cameras you've always wanted are much more affordable and often cheaper than the 'prosumer' digital cameras which will be headed for the big magnet in the sky in three years or less. I suspect that my Leica will outlive me. :)

As an amusement for Ignatz who gives us such gems like the magic cone [NSFW] I'm using the magic of digital instant gratification to create the gripping, edge of your seat, journalistic series I have titled, Watching the [Easter] Grass Grow. Even more enthralling than a chia pet. Tune in tomorrow and every day to see if I managed to remember to water the seeds or see if anything has managed to turn any other colour than brown.

And, a couple of local photo sites that I've noticed recently; 365.fi which is a photo-a-day from a group of photojournalism students in Finland [and could someone who knows them encourage them to set-up an RSS feed of some sort?], Seppo's Photoblog is a random and entertaining photoblog and DiDaRoom which offers a nicely done view into the past and present of life in Finland in small vignettes. Ooops, I forgot to add Snapshot Asthetics as my RSS reader doesn't sort by country. :)

VIA Technologies has announced a new Mini-ITX form factor motherboard that seems even more suited to mobile robot use than the EPIA M10000 we recently reviewed. The new board is the EPIA TC and includes a built-in 12V DC-DC power converter, allowing the board to be easily used with any 12VDC battery. The board comes in two flavors, one with a 600MHz EDEN ESP CPU for those who want to go totally fanless and one with a 1GHz C3 CPU for those who need more processing power.

Built NEC Tough 08/30/2004 06:26 AM

LIAM "THE INTERN" MCNULTY -- NEC announced a new notebook PC last week that can seemingly take quite a beating. It may cost around $4,000 and weigh 6 pounds, but who cares when it can survive a 3 foot drop and withstand up to 131 degrees Fahrenheit? While they were at it, NEC went ahead and made the thing "dust and waterdrop" resistant too.

Besides that, it looks pretty cool. Another feature is the convenient handle, so when you're uhh...fighting off Siberian tigers with a toothpick in the Himalayas, you can rest assured your laptop is close at hand. (What are Siberian...fine - Ed.)
