I'm off to Anguilla -- an island in the British West Indies -- today for some very much needed, albeit brief, vacation. Plans include swimming, sunning, sleeping, snorkeling, and reading. Oh and eating. And that's about it. Items of note in the suitcase include: tank tops; summery skirts; one itsy bitsy teeny weeny green polka dot bikini; a fresh book, Forever (no, not Judy Blume's, Mark Hamill's, just because I'm leaving NYC doesn't mean I shouldn't still be thinking about it!); digital camera; and most importantly, SPF 30.

If reading this makes you jealous, I've just the thing for you: American Airlines sale! Caribbean For As Low As $198 Round Trip. So maybe you too can be doning a tiny green bikini soon as well! Updates will resume next week when I return.

More Than Wells Are Stuck In The Sand
Over Iraqi Oil


More Than Wells Are Stuck In The Sand
Over Iraqi Oil
11/10/2003 11:31 PM
Iraq has a lot of oil, estimated at 112.5 billion barrels in proven reserves which is the world's second-largest after Saudi Arabia's. As many as 220 billion barrels are considered probable additional Iraqi reserves. Before the current war, Iraq was producing 2.5 million barrels of oil per day, with only 1.7 million of this output authorized under the U.N. imposed "Oil-For-Food" economic sanctions. At an average price of $25 per barrel, Iraq was making $43 million per day in sanctioned sales and $20 million per day in unsanctioned ones. The United States was the biggest importer of Iraqi crude, importing 366,000 barrels a day directly into the U.S. during December 2002, with an estimated third of Iraqi oil output (800,000+ barrels per day) ultimately ending up in the United States after intermediate processing by third countries. Thus on the eve of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Americans were paying Saddam around $21 million per day or $620 million per month or around $7.5 billion per year. The rest of the world was paying him twice this much for a total of around $25 billion per year. Such "tough" economic sanctions led in some American political circles to (somewhat hypocritically, considering the level of our Iraqi imports) have contempt for the United Nations and concern over the amount of petromoney available for hostile military buildup and WMD and even terrorist bankrolling... And so there was a war.

Cory Doctorow: American health insurers are working with obesity researchers to encourage children to play Dance Dance Revolution on home consoles with dance-mats as a way of reversing childhood obesity and the concomitant health costs later in life.
Jones is one of 85 children in an at-home study trying the popular Dance Dance Revolution video game to boost their activity. The study is being done by West Virginia's public employees insurance group in hopes it will lead to better health and lower costs.

Jones lost about 10 pounds by changing his diet. Now, after two weeks playing the game, he has lost another 10.

Revolution for martial artists
06/24/2005 06:25 PM
Cory Doctorow: Kickass Kung Fu is a video-game in which you use real martial-arts moves to control an on-screen kung-fu fighter in order to best both human and AI opponents.
The game takes place on a 5 meter cushioned playfield suitable for martial arts and acrobatics training. Using custom computer vision technology, you are taken inside an artificial reality where the normal laws of physics no longer apply. Your movements are exaggerated so that you can easily dodge your opponent's bullets by jumping five meters in the air and landing behind his back. Using the dual projected screens, one at each end of the playfield, you can also continue by counter-attacking your stupefied enemy from the behind.

04/04/2005 01:54 PM
There have been discussions over the past few years about the problem of childhood obesity and how video games that force kids to be active may be at least part of the solution. While going outside and doing something is probably better, if they must be staring at a screen, they might as well be active about it. It appears that one insurance company has decided to test this out and is running a study by giving Dance, Dance Revolution to kids in an effort to make them lose some weight. While others have noted the aerobic nature of the game (and the game apparently has a calorie burning counter as an option), this appears to be the first insurance company promoting the game. Next thing you know, your car insurance rates will rise if you play Grand Theft Auto...

"We're a group of DDR players in Norway." Do they play other bemani games? "No, just DDR." He points to the guy he was playing with, now off the machine and chatting to his girlfriend. "He's from Sweden, he has a DDR group there too." The machine is now in the control of the third chap, a large-ish bloke with shoulder-length hair. "He has a group in France, but they play all kinds of music games." Do you guys play competitively? "Sometimes... like tomorrow. It's why we're all here - there's a big contest at the Namco arcade in Westminster. There'll be players from four different countries. It's pretty big."

This CNN piece follows the tales of formerly supersized boy and girl geeks who shed *lots* of unwanted weight playing the wacky Japanese electronic game "Dance Dance Revolution." In DDR, players stomp around on a grid of brightly lit squares while hyperfast techno music blares at them from a video display unit. There's also a home version, which sells for under US$50.
As she cooled herself in front of a fan at a video arcade, two teenage boys danced on a machine nearby. Their sneakers pounded out a staccato rhythm at a pace so fast that "Lord of the Dance"'s Michael Flatley would be envious.

Not everyone sees dramatic results. Seventeen-year-old Justin Meeks says his body is more toned, but his weight hasn't changed. He's pleased to point out, though, that his dancing skills have helped him get girls. "Two. I'm guilty of that," Justin said with a grin as he watched friends play DDR.
