The Guardian's Money IQ test
The Guardian's Money IQ test
03/13/2003 03:27 PM A
re you paid what you're worth? This little IQ test, asks your
salary (in pounds) and calculates whether you are overpaid or
underpaid with respect to your intelligence. It's obviously not
scientific (the test is not timed), and you can argue about how the
ability to do IQ tests correlates with your ability to do a job. I
predict that the vast majority here will have a coefficient well over
0. [From the Guardian]

Ben sez, "Over at The Guardian, we continue to subvert media and
politics from within. The latest thing - the Election 2005 blog, went
live yesterday. And today we're using it to launch...The Blair Watch
Project.
"Readers are invited to send in pictures of campaigning politicians,
election snaps, and the like to our Flickr gallery. The best will be
posted to the blog, but we're going to exhibit all of them. The first
use of Flickr by a national newspaper? I think so."

AK Rocker Videogame Seat
AK Rocker Videogame Seat
09/13/2004 07:22 AM
I had to share Fun Furde's incredulous attitude
about this AK Rocker chair. Does anyone really need to use XtreMe
Rocking Chairz in the "sand, snow or dirt?" It looks comfortable
enough, I guess, but it would be sort of embarrassing to have one of
these sitting around in your nice living room. They're cheap enough,
at around $80 (or less on eBay, it seems), to consider getting a
couple to play Gran Turismo 4 when it hits the streets.
Clearly, though, they should have called them "Rockaro" seats.

Streamline: All-in-One Fishing Videogame

A million games-in-one knockoff game devices aren't new
anymore, but this is the first one I've ever seen with a built-in
fishing reel. Sadly, it appears the 'Streamline' doesn't have the
horsepower to do those cool 3D Sega fishing games from the Dreamcast
era, so for now it's 16-bit quality reeling (if you can get a hold of
one).

Hi, we were hoping that BoingBoing readers would be perfect for a
research project we at the Institute for the Future are starting.
We're creating a history of video games, not just with input from
experts (we'll use some of course) but primarily using a lot of real
players' experiences with the role of video games in their lives.
Since we're a non-profit a lot of our work goes public; this history
map and the future forecasts we create from it will go on our web site
when we're done. Thanks!

Washington's Violent Videogame Law Held
Unconstitutional
Washington's Violent Videogame Law Held
Unconstitutional
07/17/2004 04:17 PMErnest Miller says,
"Washington State's ban on the sale (to minors) of violent videogames
depicting violence against 'law enforcement officers' was held
unconstitutional yesterday on First Amendment grounds. The 15-page
decision is here: [
PD
F]. My favorite quote from the decision:
Would a game built around The Simpsons or the Looney Tunes
characters be "realistic" enough to trigger the Act? Is the level of
conflict represented in spoofs like the Dukes of Hazard sufficiently
"aggressive?" Do the Roman centurions of Age of Empires, the enemy
officers depicted in Splinter Cell, or the conquering forces of
Freedom Fighters qualify as "public law enforcement
officers?"

FBI Worried About Evil Videogame
Millionaire Terrorist Threat
FBI Worried About Evil Videogame
Millionaire Terrorist Threat
05/10/2004 05:39 PMOh that FBI. They sure can
raid
high schools to stop file sharing, but when it comes to tracking
down terrorist threats, it appears that they're a little confused by
reality.
LawMeme points us to a story about how the FBI was
especially worried about "reclusive but evil millionaire" Don
Emilio Fulci who supposedly "had formed a terrorist group that was
planning chemical attacks against London and Washington, D.C.." The
threat was considered so great that it was listed in their daily
"threat matrix" and FBI director Robert Mueller was briefed.
Apparently, it took a bored Whitehouse staffer to do some research on
Google and figure out that this "evil" millionaire was actually just a
character in a video game. Of course, I just did a Google search on
the name and not much turns up other than the US News article linked
here. Yahoo's search, however, turns up an FAQ for the video game.

Boing Boing pal
Scott Beale informs us that our blog just won
Group Weblog of the Year at the
Bloggies. OMG! What a huge honor! Thank you, Bloggies. We honestly
didn't expect this, and we are deeply moved and grateful. There were
many other deserving blogs up for awards, backed by talented folks who
work very hard, and we raise our collective pirate-eye-patches in
their honor:
check 'em all
out. On behalf of my blog-mates
Cory Doctorow,
Mark Frauenfelder, and
David Pescovitz; our wise "band manager"
John Battelle; our sysadmin
par excellence Ken Snider; and the rest of the team and extended
family that makes Boing Boing possible -- a humble thank you. But most
of all, we are grateful to you, our readers, for wasting otherwise
productive time on our collective scrapbook of "wonderful things," and
for pointing us to even more of those wonderful and undiscovered
things each day. We're really sorry that we couldn't make it to
SXSW in person to accept the award,
but we hope you'll join us in celebrating in person tomorrow at
ETCON (
all five of us will be in the same place for the first time).
Boing Boing sprouted online a little over
five years ago, from paper zine roots planted by Mark Frauenfelder
and
Carla
Sinclair. It is a privilege to blog for you. With you, we look
forward to another adventurous year of link-discuss to come.

Update: Holy crap! Reader Nathaneal Heasley
sez, "Not only did BB win best group ‘blog, it won “blog of the
year/best weblog overall” – congratulations!" For those keeping
track, this is the second year in a row Boing Boing has received these
two awards: Link to 2004, Link to 2005. Man. We're
speechless, and overwhelmed by your generosity.
