Guru Neil03/06/2004 02:06 AM Wired is running a short
interview with Neil Young which I read because I’m fond of his
music; and if you’ve never seen Neil perform live you ought to make
the effort, there are ups and downs but the ups are way up. Anyhow, I
think this is a must-read for anyone who cares about Media and Radio
and Music and The Net and all those other capitalized words. Mr.
Young obviously Gets It, big time. I’m now off to spend some time at
his new multimedia project, Greendale.
I was thrilled to meet a young man by the name of Zack Rosen at SXSW this year, and more thrilled
when he told me that his reading of Smart Mobs was a key inspiration
behind his effort to create the infrastructure for Deanspace. He's been working on a
toolkit for community organizing of the kind that drove the Dean
campaign. Based on Drupal, the
civic organizing toolkit was designed to be easy to use and cost less
than $50/month. It's called CivicSpace. Check it out. It
should be available soon.
CivicSpace is being built with the needs of
distributed organizations in mind. It will give you and the supporters
within your community a solid framework for organizing and engaging
those around you in action. But it also will allow you to plug your
community into a network of other communities where you can share your
ideas, knowledge, relationships, and organizational information. Here
are some things it will enable you to do:
Create a customizable community driven website with Blogs, Photo
Galleries, User Profiles, Friend / Buddy Tracking, Polls, and File

[etech] Day 2 Morning - Neil Gershenfeld03/17/2005 03:00 AM Neil heads MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms. He teaches a course called
"How to make (almost) anything." As an example, he shows Kelly
Dobson's class project, a scream body. You scream into it in public
spaces. It muffles the scream entirely, and then you can release it at
a more appropriate space. Very funny. Another made an alarm clock you
have to wrestle with to prove that you are awake. He says the liberal
arts originally were about learning to control the means of
expression; the Trivium consisted of grammar, rhetoric and logic. The
"illiberal" arts had to do...

Remembering Neil Postman, 1931-200304/09/2004 04:12 PM "There aren’t any teachers until there are learners, and there aren’t
any learners until something is disturbed in the student’s
world." These were my remarks yesterday at NYU's memorial service for
Neil Postman, who passed away on October 5th, 2003. He was my
teacher.

Dark Side of the Groove - Neil Conti feat. Brian Eno - Apple Loops 1.0
Apple Responds. Wow.01/12/2003 11:46 PM I'm terribly impressed with some of the folks at Apple. They get the
power of weblogs in a very important way. Over in Dave Hyatt's weblog,
he's been responding to various other weblog entries about their new
Safari browser. For...
I got an email from Cory Doctorow saying that my theoretical
republishing of his book -- giving myself authorship credit, offering
it for sale, and seeking distribution -- would be "fraudulent." So we
know that Cory has a line. We're making progress. (Note I'm not going
to publish his email, he can do that if he likes, and I'd like it if
he would.)
Now, as I've said so many times (one more time won't hurt), I
don't like it when a big heartless company takes my work and modifies
it in a way that makes it hard to tell what they wrote and what I
wrote. I'm concerned that if I let this company do it, then another
company is going to, and another and pretty soon they're going to be
competing on the basis of how "useful" they make my work, again
without my permission, and with no compensation to me. I'm concerned
that they may make changes I don't agree with, or even worse, change
the meaning of what I wrote so as to confuse people about what I
think. I quit working for a big publication because they were doing
this, I went independent so my writing could have integrity, so it
could truly represent what I think, to the best of my ability. Cory,
Google crossed my line. To use your terminology, they're doing
something fraudulent by passing off their derivative work as mine.
BTW, I say "I think," when stating an opinion. Cory and his
colleagues (who mostly are not lawyers) state their legal opinion as
fact. He also says "As you know" before saying something that I don't
even agree with. That's just plain disrespectful, and makes discourse
more difficult.
AOL Responds to AIM Privacy Concerns03/14/2005 04:41 PM Changes made to the terms of service for AOL Instant Messenger raised
a hubbub last week among Internet bloggers who claimed AOL had
stealthily added provisions that infringe upon the privacy of its
users. In response, AOL has provided some answers to extinguish the
fire by dismissing the "mistaken rumors" as being false.
