Town of Bourton's miniature model has a
miniature model of the model (and so on)

Town of Bourton's miniature model has a
miniature model of the model (and so on) 12/23/2003 11:30 PM
Mark Bourne says: So my wife Elizabeth and I are googling up possibilities for our long trip to England next year. Checking out London sites and so on. An acquaintance suggested staying for a few days in the Cotswolds, a scenic Middle Earthy region west of London. That's how we found a page about the town of Bourton.

You just gotta love this text, which blends Ye Olde Scepter'd Isle with sci-fi gee-wizardry:

You will probably have noticed that when you take a branch from certain trees (some conifers for example), the branch looks like a miniature version of the tree, and when you break a piece off the branch, that looks like a tree too. Mathematicians call this property self-similarity.

Bourton has a wonderful example of self-similarity: it contains a 1/10 scale model of itself. Because the 1/10 scale model is a complete model of the town, it must contain a model of itself, and it does, a 1/100th. scale model of Bourton, and because the 1/100th. scale model is also a complete model of Bourton, it must also contain a 1/1000th. scale model of the scale model of the scale model of Bourton.

And it does. It is only a matter of time before a team of nano-technicians turn up in the town to etch a sub-micron scale model of Bourton on a silicon wafer, complete with mill, waterwheel, and a highly imaginative interpretation of the River Windrush as a stream of electrons.

Computing Gets Physical 06/28/2004 10:04 AM
“I’m standing in front of a green backdrop inside a windowless studio at Cybernet Systems, a technology research and development company in Ann Arbor, MI. A digital camera in front of me is beaming my image, real time, to a television monitor that shows a scene typical of a nightly news weather report. There I am, standing before a map of the Midwest. I extend my arm and begin twirling my hand over the blip of Detroit. The map behind me zooms in on the area beneath my palm. The city widens into view and comes into focus. Looks like it’s going to be a wet one, folks. This is GestureStorm - a software system Cybernet developed to let weather broadcasters run through their forecasts with simple flicks of the hand.”

This is when our phones start to bridge the physical and the digital worlds, to enrich our lives in ways we can currently only guess at. Just as hyperlinks allowed the web to fulfil its potential, physical world hyperlinks read by our cell phones, will take the role of technology to a whole new level in our lives.

Is physical presence necessary for
community?

Is physical presence necessary for
community? 12/19/2003 11:46 AM

A few months ago I responded to a site that claimed The Internet is Shit with a reposte designed to illustrate that although our networks might contain difficult and unpleasant material, they also contain enough of value and facilitate enough legitimate and real communities to be able to state pretty conclusively that The Internet is not Shit. Note - not that it's perfect, not that it doesn't have flaws, not that bad things don't go on in it, but that pound-for-pound it's more useful and valuable and community-generating than it is useless or damaging or culture-destroying.

Over the last few days, the post has turned into a bit of an argumentative arena, with various posters weighing with positions on what constitutes utopian rhetoric versus what constitutes a reasonable and rational position about the possibilities of (among other things) online communities. Throughout this article various people - myself included - have stumbled in our logic, presented clumsy opinions and misunderstood each other. Nonetheless, I want to pick up one particular fragment of these arguments - a fragment that I feel strongly about and am prepared to fight vigorously about. It's about the authenticity or otherwise of online 'communities'. At a certain point in the debate, my sparring partner posts:

"We're not talking about abstract information - which is expedited magnificently over the internet - we're talking about flesh and blood people. An actual meeting is far more meaningful than tapping on a keyboard. It is substantially different. Physically congregating with other folk is the same as being on the internet as is reading a book about Tibet compared to actually going there. Or reading a menu and eating the food. You can't reduce and flatten the physical, sensory, emotional, kinaesthetic and social world in that way."

Now I'm going to agree with the premise that the particulars of the medium through which people communicate can add a timbre to a community and that they can faciliate certain parts of the exchange more effectively than others. On the other hand, I'd also argue that the qualities of the community space are supprted by the software that they run on, and that quite possibly that software hasn't yet - in the ten/twenty years that it's been being developed - quite achieved the elegance and sophistication that we take for granted in some other social spaces. But the one thing I will not stand for is this sense that online communities are somehow inauthentic because they are unphysical - or that the truncation in social 'signal' somehow reduces them down to a point of uselessness or redundancy. So excerpts from my reply follow:

Your analogies are hideously flawed for a start - if I communicate on the internet or by phone with someone, it's not like a transcript of that person or a decription of that person. You're talking as if whenever you talked to people who weren't present physically (say via the telephone), that what you were actually doing was listening passively to bloody recordings! Of course they're not - it's not bloody radio! People are talking to each other!

Now obviously there are things that you can do in person that you can't do physically online. It's harder to guage someone's mood, it's harder to have sex with them, it's harder to get intonation or a tone of voice. But it's still communication! And the possibility of community still exists! I mean, there are many circumstances in which certain elements of the experience an interaction can be truncated - if you're on a phone for example and can't see the person concerned, or if they're wearing sunglasses so you can't see their eyes, or if you're actually bloody deaf and are forced to lip-read, for Christ's sake! But none of these things stop the possibilities of communication, and none of them stop people being supportive, helpful, useful, friendly or even forming communities through them. I work on the internet, and often my first experience of people is online. Sometimes my only experience of them is online. And yet we can be friends! Most of them have helped me out in some ways in the past, and I've helped most of them out in the past as well. Those I haven't met, I'd like to and those I have I see regularly. But that our relationships have moved sometimes from purely online to a mix of both online and off doesn't mean they weren't real to begin with.

You talk about 'tapping on a keyboard' as if touching keys was the entire point. You're confusing the method of communication with the communication itself. It would be like me saying, "There's a substantial difference between communicating with someone (online) and just causing air to vibrate with your vocal chords". It's trivialising, innaccurate, clumsy and - frankly - stupid.

[I should apologise at this point for resorting to name calling in the final line - put it down to frustration.]

There's a lot more to the argument that's worth reading and talking abotu on the post itself, but I just thought I'd ask do people still think that the term 'online community' is necessarily an oxymoron? Do you really think that the fact you're interacting through your fingers dramatically limits the strength of the relationships you can make?

Why was Bush allergic to his physical?

Why was Bush allergic to his physical? 09/09/2004 01:41 AM
As we continue to sift through the spotty record of George Bush's military service, it's good to keep in mind the point Josh Marshall makes: "This isn't about what President Bush did 30+ years ago. Or at least it's not primarily about that. The issue here is that for a decade President Bush has been denying all of these things. He did so last January. He did so again as recently as last month. He's continued to cover this stuff up right from the Oval Office."

Or, a s our Eric Boehlert puts it, "The controversy, after all, is not merely about how he received a million dollars' worth of free pilot training and then stiffed the government when it came time to pay it back in service. It's also about how, for the last decade, Bush and his advisors have done everything possible to distort, if not erase, the truth about Bush's service record in order to advance his political career."

Now we have a flood of new jigsaw puzzle pieces, including this strange one from May 19, 1972, in which Bush's Texas commander writes: "Physical. We talked about him getting his flight physical situation fixed before his date. Says he will do that in Alabama if he stays in flight status. He has this campaign to do and other things that will follow and may not have the time. I advised him of our investment in him and his commitment. He's been working with staff to come up with options and identified a unit that may accept him. I told him I had to have written acceptance before he would be transferred, but think he's also talking to someone upstairs." Another memo records a direct order to Bush to take the physical.

Now, I'll accept that young Bush was a busy guy, with political campaigns to run and parties to attend -- but here he is, he's been in the Guard for four years, what's the big deal about a physical? How long does it take, an afternoon? Why was it so important to him not to undergo this routine procedure?

I'm afraid this is the sort of query that leads one toward that other swamp of evasion in the Bush record -- those questions about his alleged drug use that have always been answered with nods, winks, comments about having been "young and irresponsible" and denials of drug use carrying carefully crafted expiration dates. Earlier this year, Boehlert r eported on the strange coincidence that Bush's Guard disappearing act almost exactly coincided with the institution of random drug testing for military personnel: "At the time when Bush, perhaps for the first time in his life, faced the prospect of a random drug test, his military records show he virtually disappeared, failing for at least one year to report for Guard duty."

The odds of our ever knowing the truth about that aspect of Bush's life are even worse than the odds of our getting his service record clear. And bringing the issue up without knowing the truth is not the sort of thing that makes anyone feel good: Who did or didn't inhale (or snort) three decades ago ought to be covered by veils of privacy and statutes of limitation.

But decorum feels like surrender in this mad electoral fight. The Bush campaign has gone completely off the rails in its smears of Kerry's service record. Even if you don't want to consider the facts and just look at the charges, there's no equivalency here between the issues under dispute. In one case, we're arguing over how serious a guy's battlefield wounds were; in the other, we're weighing whether to call absenteeism and cover-ups by their proper names. What a falling-off!

It may be ugly, it's certainly no one's idea of what this country should be talking about during this election, but with the whirlwind of attention on his military record Bush is reaping what his August barrage against Kerry's record sowed. It's rough justice.

Next Generation Webcam Looks You In The
Eye 06/30/2004 04:31 AM
Just in case you might have been put off by webcams that showed people staring off at a weird angles, you can now be totally weirded out by a webcam system that compensates so that the foreground person is always looking you in the eye. A setup of two webcams transforms the video images to a 3D image map that re-creates an accurate angle-manipulated video. Microsoft's research lab and i2i have been developing the technology for a while, so it could be released for video chat sessions in the not too distant future. And if you're worried about what your background looks like (eg. your messy room/office), a suitably-chosen image can replace your actual surroundings. Perhaps the Jetsons should be cited as prior art for some of the features.

I don't use webcams, because I am ugly. But once upon a time, I was a pretty princess of a man, and had a pretty good time playing around with basic video chat and periodic Brady Bunch groups of pictures on webpages. And while I think it's sort of the received wisdom that all webcams suck equally, Tom's Hardware took it upon themselves to see if that was really the case. The result? Not only can you pay up to $200 for a simple webcam, it seems the more you pay, the better the quality. Amazing!

The return of the webcam

The return of the webcam 03/14/2005 04:25 PM

Through a series of miracles yesterday, I stumbled across something I've been searching for forever: an OS X driver (plus a fix for OS X 10.3) for my old USB QuickCam. (I also found an add-on that lets me use said USB cam with iChat AV. Whee!) I then downloaded a program called EvoCam, and just like that, the webcam is back up (view in popup). (No guarantees as to how long it will stay up.)

How's that for a bit of nostalgia? Back in the early days of weblogs, a lot of folks had webcams...it was part of the package. Posts, a list of links to your friends' sites, a webcam, link to your Amazon wishlist, maybe a link to your Epinions page, an about page, a guestbook or little chat widget in the sidebar, etc. It was a social space to move around in. Now that everyone is reading everything in RSS readers, a lot of that sort of thing has been lost. RSS readers are not that social, even with so-called "next gen" newsreaders that recommend sites based on what you already read. It's mostly just information in, information out...little time or opportunity for play. Thank God for sites like Flickr, LiveJournal, and Fark, where people can still go to hang out and play around with the web and their friends a bit.

Intel Presents the Pig and Cow Webcam

Intel Presents the Pig and Cow Webcam 05/20/2004 08:17 PM
A pig, a cow, a camera, some coffee--and thievery: There's got to be a category that's uniquely unique, as much as an oxymoron as that might sound. Nigel Ballard sends the following combination police blotter, glimpse in the future, and Wi-Fi report from Portland, where he helps build out community wireless networking hotspots as part of Personal Telco: I'm on a new steering committee! This'll make it three in total. The Pig & Cow Steering Committee differs from the others, not only because it has a way more interesting title, but also because there are livestock involved, albeit the plastic variety. Confused? OK, some background is needed. Urban Grind is a coffee house with a difference, home to Personal Telco and a whole host of other community-related happenings. You need to hang there to see how very different it is from the sterility encountered in those national coffee houses. A few months back two plastic animals appeared on the countertop. Namely, a pig and a cow. People waiting for their drinks started posing the animals, and then customers slipped in extra characters and even props to create scenes ranging from the beautiful to the bizarre. Along comes Intel's People & Practices Research Group who have been watching the way the free Wi-Fi access from Oregon non-profit Personal Telco was changing the clientele, attracting customers from miles away, and creating a real sense of community, communication and interaction in this large and comfortable space. Many of the customers at UG actually talk to each other; they learn each others names, enquire about lives, loves and job searches, amazing! Intel asked Urban Grind if they could install some fun technology, Brenda and Macker, the proprietors said "Sure, knock yourself out". Intel duly installs a camera, an LCD monitor, a big blue button, a tiny web server and a wireless client to connect their server through the Personal Telco Wi-Fi to the outside world. The idea is this. You are invited to pose the characters, bring in some of your own, and even add a prop.
