AP - Amanda Cunningham started her daughter on computers at 2 1/2 with "Reader Rabbit" software and Web sites like Sesame Street. Like any parent, she was proud Madeline could master the mouse so young. But Cunningham soon realized Madeline, now 4, wasn't really learning anything. She just kept clicking, dragging and playing the same games over and over. Now, she's in no rush to get her 1-year-old son, Liam, on computers or the Internet.

RIAA Misadventures?

Should Parents Be Liable For Their Kids
RIAA Misadventures? 08/03/2004 12:32 PM
There are times when parents are considered somewhat liable for illegal actions by their kids, but in most cases, the kids themselves take responsibility. So, why is that not the case in a situation where the RIAA and music sharing is involved? In a story about a husband and wife being charged for "downloading," the couple admits that it was their two teenagers who did the downloading, but a lawyer is still telling them to pay up the $3,000 the RIAA wants. There are all sorts of problems with this. First, no one was sued for "downloading," but for sharing unauthorized music (two very different things). However, more importantly, the fact that this couple has no clue how to download music shows exactly the main weakness of the RIAA's case. They're suing people without any evidence that the people they're suing committed the crime. But, the way the system works, it's cheaper to pay up than to fight the bogus claims.

MP3 Players Aren't Just For Kids; In
Fact They're Barely For Kids

MP3 Players Aren't Just For Kids; In
Fact They're Barely For Kids 12/19/2004 03:47 PM
The common bit of wisdom is that MP3s are a young person's technology. It's the teens and the folks just coming out of college that are the MP3 generation, after all, so they'd be the most likely to own an MP3 player, right? Not at all, apparently. A new study says that 90% of MP3 player owners over 34 years old. While this may have something to do with the high price of many of the best MP3 players, the numbers still don't seem right. It would be interesting to see the methodology behind this study. That's not to say that those over 34 aren't likely to own an MP3 player, but it's hard to believe that 90% of MP3 players go to those 35 and older.

Presents For Bad Kids Head To eBay,
Rather Than Kids

Presents For Bad Kids Head To eBay,
Rather Than Kids 12/27/2004 04:42 AM
Well, normally, people wait until after they've received presents to dump them on eBay. However, one father who felt his three sons were being particularly bad lately decided that to punish them he's putting their presents up for sale on eBay. To be honest, this sounds like a bit of a publicity stunt -- and it seems likely that, now that this is getting attention, that casino that seems to be buying e very random quirky auction item will snap this one up. Update: Whoops. It's apparently already happened. Indeed, the casino in question has d ecided to buy the undelivered presents. This is sort of an update on our story last year about how sellers were increasingly looking to use eBay as a publicity generating tool. It appears that's now being used by buyers to generate publicity, as well.

Tulsa TV memories

Tulsa TV memories 07/15/2004 10:02 AM
Mike sez, "With the rise of mega-broadcasting, quirky local television shows have faded into obscurity. Luckily, this site rescues these otherwise forgotten shows that aired in Tulsa, Oklahoma, from the '50s to the '00s. While every American city had its own local flavor, common elements are apparent -- the cheesy horror movie show, the Saturday teen dance party show, and the goofy puppet-based kids show. View all the shows on this detailed site and revel in the evocative memories shared by visitors. A wealth of pictures, audio clips, and video clips adds to the enjoyment. Even if you've never been to Tulsa, this site provides an interesting trip back in time to a simpler era of television." Link (Thanks, Mike!)

Other memories of Paris

Other memories of Paris 06/05/2005 11:56 PM

Like a lover who, after the affair has ended, desperately revisits old letters and photos to hold onto the magic, I cannot stop reading about Paris! I ordered Remembrance of Things Paris: Sixty Years of Writing from Gourmet, edited by Ruth Reichl, while I was in Paris so it would await me upon my return. I've been reading the short articles whenever I have a few minutes break, and it's bringing it all back. What's even more amazing is how many of the spots I know -- and the articles I'm reading were written shortly after WWII! But the streets, cafés, restaurants, and hangouts are all still the same. At least it assures me that when I do return, I'll be able to enjoy many of the same things. As this enjoyable book demonstrates, Paris sure has continuity going for it!

Memories of vinyl

Memories of vinyl 08/22/2004 09:26 PM
I've been thinking about audio files lately. There are lots of interesting audio blogs these days and I realized that putting audio interviews for my shar ing economy research online would be a neat thing to do. For the last month or so, I've been diving into audio gear and software. (I'll write about all this in another post when I figure out what I'm doing.) During this journey into gadgets past, I stumbled into my vinyl records from my DJ days. Most are promotional records that Rockpool sent me when I was reporting my charts to them, but many were from Mark Stephens. Mark Stephens was my mentor and one of my best friends. He was also the first person I knew who died of AIDS. Mark received tons of promos and he would share some of the good stuff with me. He would jot things down on the record jackets or on little post-its. Since I stopped spinning records, I've allowed several DJs as well as my second-cousin Cornelius to go through my record collection and take what they wanted. What I have now is a 1000+ record collection, almost all from 1988-1990, 90% crap, with very high sentimental value. What do I do with them? I looked into software to convert vinyl to mp3's but it looked like a real pain. The other idea I had was browse my vinyl for stuff I liked, scan the notes and try to find the music on a file sharing network. I should know the answer to this question, but is this illegal?

I seem to be getting into these diary-like entries these days, but digging through old vinyl and reading the little notes from Mark brought back a lot of memories. I'm struggling with how to bring some of those memories into the medium I have today.

Top twenty memories at CC

Top twenty memories at CC 04/04/2005 01:57 AM

I tried limiting this list to ten, but I couldn't do it. There's no way I could really limit it to twenty, even, but I'll go with the first score that come to mind, in no particular order.

(1) Meeting the World's Coolest Man.

(2) Singing karaoke in Seoul with the lawyers of KAFIL, CC's affiliate institution for the newly launched Creative Commons Korea.

(3) Getting a phone call in January 2002 from my former professor and long-time hero Lawrence Lessig -- who, I couldn't be sure, really remembered me -- inviting me to join Creative Commons.

(4) Seeing Gilberto Gil and David Byrne perform Cole Porter's "Don't Fence Me In" at the WIRED Creative Commons benefit concert.

(5) Brainstorming on and making "Get Creative" and "Reticulum Rex" with Neeru Paharia, Ryan Junell, Benjamen Walker, and Christopher Lydon.

(6) Seeing the Brazilian Portuguese translation of both movies at the launch of CC Brazil.

(7) First trying out the phrase "Some Rights Reserved" at a meeting with the great folks -- and later, friends -- of Rice Connexions.

(8) Talking about rock-and-roll, over beers, with Jamie Boyle, Mike Carroll, and Eric Saltzman after my first CC board meeting in Cambrige, MA.

(9) Sharing countless lunches (and jokes) with CC staff at the Treehouse, on Stanford's campus.

(10) Receiving the amazing going-away gifts of an iPod Shuffle full of CC music and a beautiful CC Taiwan poster from Lessig and the CC team on my last day.

(11) Seeing Grandmaster Flash perform, in a very weird context, at SXSW.

(12) Watching Justin Cone's "Building on the Past" for the first time.

(13) Seeing Christiane's daughter Lara playing with Willem at Larry and Bettina's house.

(14) At Duke's FRAMED! conference, seeing Negativland's Mark Hosler meet, confront, and then make friends with the lawyer who set the U2 brouhaha in motion.

(15) The CC Europe Summit.

(16) Awaking from a nap under my desk to hear everyone from CC and Stanford CIS singing Happy Birthday on my 30th.

(17) Hearing a crazed David Byrne fan tell my mother, age 73 -- at her first rock show ever -- that the song "Psycho Killer" reminded him of her.

(18) Eating at Carl's Jr. at 3am with two members of the Polyphonic Spree.

(19) Experiencing the mayhem before, and the joy during, every Creative Commons party.

(20) Doing an interview, with Lessig and Neeru, with the cartoon blogger Machina in Tokyo.

And there are so many more.

What kills me about putting this list together is to think of all the great things that I will miss out on from today forward.

Memories of memory

Memories of memory 07/31/2004 12:42 AM

I saw this picture on Boing Boing. It's a ancient (about 30 years old) hard disk that probably fit about 256K according to a Boing Boing reader.

This iDuck can hold 1000X as much as that disk drive.

And these little 0.2mm RFID chips hold 128K each.

I wonder when they will start selling memory at the drug store in Petabytes per gram...
