Moment of couture zen

Moment of couture zen 02/05/2005 09:25 PM
Xeni Jardin: The caption for this Reuters photo by Max Rossi reads, "A model presents a creation from Italian fashion academy students for their Spring/Summer 2005 Haute Couture collection, during Rome's Fashion Week." IANAFD (I am not a fashion designer), but I say -- keep studying, guys.

Link to full-size. I'm not sure why, but it sort of reminds me of this NSFW painting by surrealist artist Rene Magritte, Le Viol (The Rape, 1934): Link.

Here's another interesting image from the same collection: Link. (Thanks, Susannah Breslin).

Computer Couture

Computer Couture 08/09/2004 11:46 AM
My latest article for TheFeature.com is about electronic textiles:

"In the future, we'll all dress smartly. Well, sort of. Advances in electronic textiles promise evening wear that changes color based on mood, undershirts that dispense medicine, and wirelessly-enabled coats that forecast the weather. While the science fiction vision of electrified clothing is not new, the enabling technologies are only now beginning to emerge from university and industrial laboratories. Far from the catwalk, researchers at the intersection of materials science, electrical engineering and fashion design are designing the computer couture of tomorrow."

Hussein Chalayan: future couture 04/12/2005 03:56 AM
Xeni Jardin: Hint Magazine prefaces an all-too-brief preview of designer Hussein Chalayan's first major solo exhibition by saying:

As well-versed in anthropology and philosophy as he is in design, [he] shot to fashion fame in the early 90s with a clear mission: to put the creative process itself on view. And now it is again in a two-floor showcase at the Groninger Museum near Amsterdam, where the Turkish-Cypriot's most important sartorial studies will be on display from April 17 to September 4.

MirBSD 20050330 (Snapshots branch)

MirBSD 20050330 (Snapshots branch) 04/19/2005 09:12 AM
MirOS originated as a patch set against OpenBSD-current, a 4.4BSD-derived ultra secure operating system. It features bugfixes, code removal for the sake of simplicity, and feature enhancements over stock OpenBSD. MirOS works on Intel Pentium machines with more than 32 MiB RAM. A version for SPARC exists, and a port to Apple PPC is in preparation.

---

Changes:
This snapshot is the first after the transition to the new CVS repository. GCC, Binutils, MirLibtool, and Lynx have been updated to current versions. XFree86 was updated to 4.5.0. The build system has been improved, and everything is built under systrace now. Many bugs were fixed, but C++ is still broken.

Voyeuristic vintage snapshots of
Disneyland 04/28/2004 08:48 AM
Disneyland is one of the most-photographed piecces of real-estate in the world. Since 1955, visitors to the park have been exhaustively documenting it with photos and slides. Now, the Disnephiles of The Imaginary World have assembled a "virtual tour" made up of scans of slides shot at Disneyland in the 1950s and 1960s. This combines the thrill of fanboy history with the voyeurism of going through family photo albums found at thrift shops, and just about made my day. Link (Thanks, Hork!)

Relational, object, and XML disciplines are just aspects of a relativistic universe of data. Very postmodern! ...

Hungary takes aim at phonecam snapshots 12/16/2003 02:50 PM
The data protection ombudsman of Hungary ruled last week that phonecam users who transmit pictures of people who are unaware of being photographed may be prosecuted for privacy violation -- as could their mobile service providers.

Ombudsman Attila Peterfalvi said he started an investigation after one of Hungary's three mobile providers ran an advertisement saying: "If you see a good-looking girl or guy on the street, don't hesitate to share the aesthetic experience with your friends via MMS." Mobile phones, kitted out with small cameras used in multimedia messaging (MMS), are selling fast in Hungary, where mobile penetration is a high 75.2 percent.

Snapshots from Coop art show debut in LA

Snapshots from Coop art show debut in LA 08/18/2004 06:26 PM
Images from a new gallery show at sixspace featuring underground art superstar Coop, whose work I was first exposed to in the form of a devil-babe tattoo on the back of an ex-boyfriend.

Parts with Appeal is Coop's first gallery exhibit in about five years. For the show, he constructed one contiguous acrylic canvas 78 feet long which contains four separate panels each comprised of a series of 6' x 6' paintings. The snapshots look fantastic, and I can't wait to see the work in person.

Snapshots of volunteer "Minutemen" on
US/Mexico border 04/15/2005 11:59 AM
Xeni Jardin:
Investigative reporter and Boing Boing pal Mark Ebner spent last week embedded with the "Minutemen" in and around Tombstone, Arizona. For those unfamiliar with US/Mexico border politics, these are the volunteer border patrol militias comprised of heavily armed, grumpy-looking white people who have self-organized to stem the flood of wannabe janitors, dishwashers, and nannies who threaten our national security. Ebner's report will appear in Globe magazine next week, available at your grocery check-out stand. Meanwhile, enjoy the new face of Homeland Security!

Y para nuestros estimados lectores hispanohablantes: aquí les presento unas imagenes de los pendejos racistas en Arizona que se creen soldados. El fenómeno me preocupa mucho. No puedo ver ninguna diferencia entre esto y los "lynch mobs" de antaño en el sur en mi país. Ojalá que el resultado no sea tan sangriento, pero si ellos tienen el apoyo del gobierno y del ambiente político del momento -- pues, yo no creo que puede ser una cosa buena para los derechos civiles de la gente en cualquier lado de la frontera. Gracias a Mark Ebner, periodista y amigo de Boing Boing, por los fotos. Su reportaje será publicado en El Globe la próxima semana.

Here's an early, detailed report (2:38 a.m. last night) complete with plenty of pix and silent video shot with a clear view from the roof. Sad that the audio on my Olympus usually-still digicam malfunctioned, but the clips are crisp and slender (max 5kb) adn they do have a sort of dreamlike quality.

I recorded audio, and interviewed cast and robot crew. Stay tuned for a report!

Like many PC users, when I saw the second generation of Apple’s Cinema Displays I thought they looked great. Packing a sleek, sexy metal frame and superb design to match, how couldn’t one?!

As my desire increased, so did the level of research and intrigue into this quite unique product. While doing my research, my views changed rather remarkably. Two things took me by surprise, and quite frankly, if you’re not aware of this, then you should be.

It's fair to say that Apple can be credited for starting up mainstream interest in the large/widescreen LCD market, with their line of Cinema Displays. Their first generation of Cinema Displays came out in March 21, 2002, with a top end size of 23” and a resolution of 1920 x 1200. A little over two years later, Apple released their second generation of Cinema Displays. However, this new line up has some potentially quite serious issues. First, the limited warranty Apple offer; second, display problems.

My first 24 hours in Japan included the following:

• a swim in a 25-yard pool
• a visit to an enormous Buddhist temple complex that has been an important pilgrimage site for hundreds of years
• a semi-traditional tea ceremony

I'm not that surprised that this has happened, as much as wondering "how did this happen?"

Via my blog?  Joi?  I don;t believe Joi even knows or notices anything about Laszlo, so i gotta wonder "hoe the hell did they find out about Photoblox?"

If anyone knows (Adriaan?) - let me know!  Thanks

UPDATE:  This just in from Lyndon Wong, Photoblox Product Manager....

There's seriously something going on with PhotoBlox in Japan. Numerous blogs with embedded, customized photobloxes. A google search indicates there are more photoblox users in Japan than in the rest of the world combined.

What's up between Japan and Korea

What's up between Japan and Korea 04/06/2005 03:22 PM

History Lesson: Heart of the matter by Hayami Ichikawa and others at Asahi Shimbun in Japan pinpoints the real issue behind the ongoing conflict between Japan and Korea over Dokdo (Takeshima) islets: Koizumi and his cabinet are clueless.

Hayami understands why Koreans are so upset over Dokdo and explains it well:

To the South Koreans, Takeshima, a group of islets called Tokto in Korean, represents a symbol of Japan's 1910-45 colonization of the Korean Peninsula.

The incorporation of the Sea of Japan isles into Shimane Prefecture on Feb. 22, 1905, is viewed as a prelude to what Japan was later to inflict upon the peninsula.

It's now 2005 and it seems to be happening all over again.

Japanese government's history whitewashing service covers US too because mentions of the fact that no WMD has been found in Iraq were removed from school textbook drafts at the request of Japanese government officials.

Pretty funny?  Well, not if you consider that Japan is trying to buy a seat in the UN Security Council.  Brrrrr!
