Return to Return of the King
Return to Return of the King
01/25/2004 09:30 AM (I just blogged this at BlogCritics.org) We went to see Return of the
King for the second time last night because our 13-year-old wanted to
see it for his third time. My pre-VCR generation has trouble being
entertained by a movie more than once, but there are exceptions. Lord
of the Rings is one: Giant trolls, gargantuan elephants, catapults
firing heads, fierce bad guys with faces made out of cookie dough,
fire-tipped battering rams, stirring music, flying dragons, all in one
scene. What more do you want in a movie? Even though it was my second
time, I still...

Swiss Army iPod
Swiss Army iPod
10/28/2003 11:08 PMApple are currently marketing some
clever add-ons
for the iPod.
Belkin have produced a clever media reader, called the er..
Belkin Media Reader. The device allows you to transfer
files from memory cards to your iPod. At 90 it's priced a bit steep,
but if you're out and about taking lots of high res digital snaps,
you'd easily spend more on a couple of 256MB memory cards.
Other interesting add-ons include the
Belkin Voice Recorder and the
Belkin FireWire Battery. I also have it on good word that
Griffi
n Technology's iFM will be shipping at the end of the month.
It's a bummer that the
iTrip is not
available in the UK, but I'm looking forward to having a good
quality FM radio with the iPod.

Swiss Prefer To Be Dumb, But Healthy,
And Less Well Connected
06/14/2004 06:00 PMLast year, we wrote about a somewhat questionable study that suggested
that 3G wireless base stations
made
people feel sick - but also made them smarter. Now, because of
that study (which was greatly questioned once the details showed very
little evidence to back up its main assertions), the Swiss government
is
contemplatin
g a ban on 3G technologies. The argument, of course, is they want
to make sure their citizens remain healthy, but if they really believe
that study, doesn't it mean they also want their citizens to remain
dumber?

Lessig and Doctorow, Truth and Fiction,
on Swiss Wi-Fi
12/13/2003 01:53 PMCory Doctorow, true-life rights defender and novelist, exposes a chunk
of his work-in-progress, while pointing to Larry Lessig, true-life
true-intent-of-copyright defender, who rants: Cory's notes the
anti-openness and generally confusing nature of using Wi-Fi in
Switzerland, a country that revels in expense in general, in an
excerpt from his newest work-in-progress, based on his experience in
Switzerland. He points to Lessig's post about ironically having the
worst possible time connecting at the World Summit on the Information
Society. In both cases, they're talking mostly about a single
provider, Swiss Telecom, which doesn't appear to want "drop-in" users.
I was recently in Whistler, B.C., a ski resort community with a
township around it, where there are now two competing ubiquitous Wi-Fi
networks. Curse my luck, the condo unit my wife and I rented could
barely receive the signal of both--not strong enough to be useful. But
both services also required out-of-band connections: you had to go to
some store or kiosk to purchase specific periods of time. So instead
of Wi-Fi, I skied, and apres-ski, I went to Internet cafes, where I
spent a total of about US$8 over three days for a couple of hours of
access....
