Disco Sucks!







Disco Sucks!

Disco Sucks! 07/14/2004 11:57 AM

25 years ago a Chicago radio disc jockey had an idea for a promotional event. Steve Dahl invited his listeners to bring a disco record to a double-header White Sox game. Between games he was going to blow them up. What happened was a full scale riot that caused the White Sox to forfeit and disco to die.

The tired old man.

« HB, tired from the excitement of a car ride and good food, sleeps soundly. »

A long, fun weekend spent in Enschede, the Netherlands, has made us both as tired as HB looks. *yawn* I noticed a book in the in-flight magazine called point it and think it would be great for when you're too tired to really talk, even in your native tongue, to simply point at what you want. Brilliant idea.

Bollywood MP3 Disco Blowout Friday


Bollywood MP3 Disco Blowout Friday 06/04/2004 10:46 AM
Following up on this previous BoingBoing post about the Bollywood Freaks mashup "Don't Stop 'til You Get to Bollywood," BoingBoing reader Mike says:
This was only a very slightly re-tweaked version of a tune from an early 1980s Bollywood soundtrack, as sung by the well-known Indian singer Usha Uthup. (The tune's original title is "Chhupke Kaun Aya".) The Usha Uthup version has just been re-released on CD in the UK, as part of a 2CD mix set called "The Trip", mixed by Tom Middleton.

But you ain't heard nothing yet! Usha's greatest work, which dates from the same era, is the utterly INSANE "One Two Cha Cha Cha". (This also quotes from a classic disco hit.) This track is available on a 1997 compilation called "In Flight Entertainment Vol.2" - and also as an MP3 on my blog for the next week or two.

Link to the blog hosting an MP3 download of "Cha Cha Cha." Oh yeah.

I just spent an hour on the phone with my father-in-law failing to help him find his email client. It used to be there, but it vanished from the tool bar at the bottom. Now we can't get it back. None of the Finder options seem to actually help us find anything. I know it's there. I know it's "easy." But it sure ain't intuitive. Anyone want to give me the most basic instruction about how to find things on the !@#$% Mac, OS X? As Dr. Dean would say, "Aaaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhh!"

Passym sucks


Passym sucks 01/22/2004 03:17 AM

Tonight is my second night in an Embassy Suites with Passym Wireless internet access, and I have to say that Passym really sucks.

Connectivity is just horrible. I don't know why the service sucks so badly... it might be because I'm in a corner room (they're larger at the Embassy Suites) or it might be because I'm using a Macintosh, but neither of those two things should be reasons that the connectivity sucks so badly...

Maybe there are too many people using the service to keep up with what I want to do, but that shouldn't be a problem. I've normally stayed in Wyndham and Marriot hotels with Wayport access, and even though most of the time those hotels only provide wired access, they always worked just fine. I could connect to my office's VPN at the most complicated end of connectivity issues, and I could definitely send email through my own servers, but with this silly Passym service, I can't connect to the VPN and I can't even send email through my own service... and the speeds are terribly slow compared to what I expect them to be... especially at $10/day.

The worst part is that to get technical support, I'm supposed to email their support@ email address... no one here at the hotel knows anything about the service from a technical/troubleshooting stand-point, and I can't get email out through my email client. Good thing I have a webmail client set up on my server...

So, next time I stay in a hotel, I'll ask them if they have internet access, and I'll ask who the provider is. If it's Passym, I'll choose a different hotel if internet connectivity will be a need.

There's not much time left for other stuff. On the weather font, it looks like rain there. Ugh. I'm gonna miss the sun...

Cleveland airport gets Wi-Fi from SBC: I should really have left this item to senior editor Nancy Gohring, who hails from within spittin' distance of Cleveland, but SBC FreedomLink is now the operator of Wi-Fi service at that town's airport. The interesting twist in this installation is that there will be Internet kiosks in the airport as well as the SBC service. I've had mixed feelings lately about posting every single airport announcement, especially as smaller markets have become unwired: at some point, just another airport is just another airport, unless you live or work near it. It's a fundamental problem with covering wireless in general and Wi-Fi in particular as it matures. There's more and more news, and it starts to blur into much of the same. I see sometimes a dozen stories a week about a small town that gets its first Wi-Fi-enabled cafe, or another community project that unwires a park or public area. This is just to say that the proof of the success of the top-down and bottom-up movements in wireless communication are starting to permeate all media. When I appeared on a local NPR affiliate to talk about Voice over IP (VoIP) and Internet telephony on their morning program recently, the host needed a technical primer in VoIP, which is quite new to most people, but through around Wi-Fi and wireless terms with great abandon and fluency....

I had fun this weekend in Cleveland. I haven't had a chance to post (or even upload) the 200+ pictures taken with my camera yet. Kasia really wants a crack at fixing some of 'em up anyway (she's good with the Photoshop, unlike me). So, until you can see photos of semi-drunken people you don't know in dark places you don't know, I leave you with a few things from this weekend. It's possible to get nearly a dozen people...

Saints and Indians


Saints and Indians 12/22/2004 01:57 AM
" Fifty years ago, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, or Mormon Church, began a foster care program for American Indian children. Between twenty and fifty thousand children, mostly Navajo, participated in what was called the Indian Student Placement Program....Through Placement, children had the opportunity to grow up in families – white Mormon families – while attending day schools in Utah and across the West. Placement also had a theological motivation. Championed in the ‘50s by an LDS Church leader named Spencer W. Kimball, Placement grew from a sense of commitment to the Indians – then regarded as descendants of the original people of the Book of Mormon.
