AT&T: the hollow phone company
AT&T: the hollow phone company
05/25/2004 03:43 AMKevin Werbach has a cool perspective on the fact that AT&T has
divested itself of its physical and cellular networks: it has become a
"virtual" phone company. (Remember the spectrum docket where AT&T
was
all about the open spectrum? Maybe this virtual telco thing makes
phone companies less evil?)
AT&T is hollowing itself out -- and that's a good thing. Under
Dave Dorman, AT&T has invested heavily in building a true all-IP
backbone and deploying VOIP offerings. Following the sale of AT&T
Wireless to Cingular and AT&T's subsequent deal with Sprint PCS,
AT&T is poised to offer a full suite of wireless offerings without
the cost of owning a cellular network. And it is still the biggest
player in the lucrative business services market, with a national
brand second to none.

The Wilderness Society: Earth Dayhttp://earthday.wilderness.org/
On April 22, 2005, people around the world will
celebrate the 35th anniversary of Earth Day. This Topic in Depth
focuses on the past and present of this significant day. From the
Wisconsin Historical Society, the first two sites contain historical
documents pertaining to Earth Day. The first (1) document features a
May 1970 issue of The Gaylord Nelson Newsletter reporting on the first
Earth Day. The second (2) document is a speech by Nelson entitled "An
Environmental Agenda for the 70's." Housed in the archives of the US
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) website, the next two sites also
contain historical documents. The first (3) site contains an article
written by Nelson for the EPA Journal in April of 1980, entitled
"Earth Day '70: What It Meant." The second (4) site contains an
article written by John C. Whitaker (former Interior undersecretary in
the Nixon administration) for the EPA Journal in the summer of 1998.
The article is entitled "Earth Day Recollections: What It Was Like
When the Movement Took Off." The (5) Earth Day Network (first
mentioned in the April 4, 2003, Scout Report for Life Sciences) works
"to broaden the environmental movement worldwide and to educate and
mobilize people, governments, and corporations to take responsibility
for a clean and healthy environment." In addition to information
sections about Ongoing Programs, Current Campaigns, and News, the
Earth Day Network website contains Earth Day 2005 Materials for
organizers. From EarthDay.gov, Take Action In Your Classroom (6)
offers links to a variety of environmental education resources. The
next website, from the U.S. Army Environmental Center, presents (7)
Army Earth Day; and links to information about the Army's
environmental activities. The final (8) site is an Earth Day-inspired
educational website (first reported on in the April 14, 1999 Scout
Report for Science & Engineering) from the Wilderness Society. The
site offers a collection of environmental education resources for
teachers and students. [From The NSDL Scout Report for the Life
Sciences, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2005.

OK, Who's Overclocking The Earth?
12/31/2003 01:14 PMRemember back in 1999 when people started talking about "internet
time", which was this crazy notion that, thanks to the internet, the
usual course of business went much much much faster? Well, it sounds
like the Earth tried to get in on some of that, as it's now been
revealed that since 1999,
our home planet has been making it's annual trek
around the sun one second faster than it was for quite some time.
Between 1972 and 1999, we had to add a special "leap second" each
year, since the Earth was slowing down, and losing a step. However,
since 1999, for reasons no one is quite sure, the Earth appears to
have caught a second wind and is speeding up a bit.

The Day The Earth Froze
09/12/2004 05:51 PM
I've been watching the 1980s TV serial adaptation of the Kalevala,
Rauta-aika [Iron Age], being shown in 4 parts on Tuesdays on YLE2.
I've never really liked adaptations which may be due to having been
forced to sit through a torturous production of Shakespeare's Much
Ado About Nothing that was set on a tennis court and featured
something I could only describe as valley girls with big hair and
bubble gum. The actors were lucky we didn't start throwing things and
booing. Rauta-aika isn't all that bad even though the actors speak
prose and some of the costumes are pretty over the top. A few days ago
I mentioned the show to Chip Salzenberg, the human movie quote
database, who immediately asked, "The Day the Earth Froze?" No, the
Kalevala, not some bad sci-fi flick. As it happens, Chip and Jeff Goff
are MST3K devotees who provided me with the MST3K episode featuring
the absurdly bad The
Day the Earth Froze which, in spite of the misleading title,
is a 1959 movie of the Kalevala.
The movie was titled Sampo everywhere else but the US without
explanation as to who thought the B-movie sci-fi title would be a
brilliant replacement. The US version is also about 30 minutes shorter
although, judging by what wasn't cut, it likely was an act of mercy.
The Ministry of Culture in the then USSR apparently funded and
commissioned this entertainment bomb for some deeply mysterious
reason. The US version changes many the Russian and Finnish names to
sound, presumably, less like commies and the opening credits manage to
misspell Lönnrot's name. The MST3K guys often mock the Swedish in the
episode but I think the Finns wouldn't bother to correct them and let
the Swedes take all the credit for this total suckfest. The English
dubbing over the original Russian is spectacularly bad, too, as I
guess no one bothered to ask how the Finnish words and names were
pronounced and, after a while, I think they just started making shit
up. One of the more hilarious moments of heckling is when Crow makes
fun of the actress who plays Louhi by saying, "Marty Feldman in a role
that won't surprise you!" :)
It was good for a laugh but it was like watching a Paris Hilton
version of Walden Pond set in a luxury tourist resort where you
begin to wonder if you haven't slipped into a parallel and alternate
reality. It's a pity that no one has actually done a full movie
production of the Kalevala or a film of the people who kept the
stories alive before they were finally collected by Lönnrot and
written down. I think even a low-budget "Blair Witch" style Kalevala
movie would suck less than this movie does. I have a new appreciation
for Rauta-aika now. :)

Rip, Mix, and Burn anything on earth
07/16/2004 11:57 PM
Today while I was at a web conference, a speaker used an incredible
MIT Media Lab project as a demo during a talk. Check out the
I/O brush project. The project appears to be a camera that can
take a photo still or video of anything you point it at, then the
captured images can be "painted" on a virtual canvas. It's essentially
one giant derivative work creator.
Watch this Real Video demo of the I/O Brush in action
After you see it, you can see how incredible this technology is. I
can't imagine when something like this would be a cheap, easily
available tool, but I can imagine that parts of the technology may
eventually show up in something. It takes the concept of rip, mix, and
burn to whole new levels, creating new art works from anything else
(including copyrighted art, text, and trademarked logos) and I wonder
what the legal landscape will be like when this technology is readily
available. Can you imagine the scorn this product will get from
publishing companies, movie studios, and the like?

03/06/2004 02:03 AMRannva dropped this URL on an older blog entry, so I figured I should
pop it up to a larger readership, since it's just too cool:
Orion's
Arm Worldbuilding Group.
A huge collection of Creative Commons -licensed
alternative world history (and future) that should make the soul of
every hardcore sci-fi fan tickle. I only took a quick glance through
it, but already I started getting ideas...
I think this is another good example on how uncoordinated efforts of
dedicated amateurs can produce things that rival commercial
alternatives. I don't think it replaces them, though, but it
can be a good choice among many. The Internet has really allowed a
whole new kind of collaboration efforts to take place, things that
were rather difficult to do before. Essentially the Internet is now
doing the job of the scientific journals, and it is not surprising
that many of the academic papers are being published on the Internet
first these days...

I got back yesterday but was too tired to post anything.
Everytime we go camping,
we forget something and we forgot the air mattress this time.
Two nights without
the luxury of air mattress was bad, but not being able to sleep
thanks to noisy neighbors
was even worse. They were rude beyond comprehension.
Chopping wood at
3AM?
If you like tranquil camping experience, don't go to Spanish
Flat Resort. We had such a terrible time that we are
never going anywhere
near the damn place. Yeah, it was that bad.
BTW, Comcast's e-mail server is not working today so I have no
e-mail. If you
need to contact me until it's working again, leave a comment.
