Boing Boing audio interview with Mind
Hacks editor Matt Webb

Boing Boing audio interview with Mind
Hacks editor Matt Webb 12/22/2004 01:30 AM
Mark Frauenfelder: I'm starting to get interested in podcasting, so I interviewed Matt Webb, the co-editor of the new book, Mind Hacks, just published by O'Reilly. It's 25 minutes long, and I even created a cheesy Garageband theme song for what I hope is the first of many interviews.

Note: Matt wrote me with the following info -- "This is the McGu rk video I was talking about. Just proving that I'm nothing without my notes, I incorrectly remembered the McGurk sounds! It's a visual 'ga' and an aural 'ba' that combine to the perception of 'da.' No 'va' at all (that's a variation on the experiment)."

The Mind Hack's weblog is here.

Xeni @ Boing Boing

More on blocked sites for .mil websurfers

Following up on this BoingBoing post about rumors that access to TheMemoryHole is being blocked on military computers in Iraq...

[John continues:]If the request was denied due to the Content Filter configuration is a sentence fragment, but with The content category reported is Gen. News. and If you feel this site was blocked in error, please contact the Help Desk the meaning is clear enough. For whatever reason, "General News" is not fit for our troops. I've been meaning to send her a list of links and ask her if she'd be willing to try to access them (Newsweek? New York Times? Common Dreams? Freerepublic.com [a conservative site]? townhall.com [another conservative site]?) I'm also curious what other kinds of sites she can't visit (geek news? music news? yahoo? wikipedia?) and whether she's prohibited from visiting these sites at work because she's /at work/, or if she's encouraged not to pursue the news in general.

Zaku, can you or anyone in the military in Iraq corroborate this or look into this?

Bloggers Speak Out on the Apple Case
(including Boing Boing) 04/12/2005 03:56 AM
Xeni Jardin: Donna Wentworth from the EFF says:

Online journalism has friends -- lots of them. Jack Balkin, Eugene Volokh, Feedster, Gawker Media, Joi Ito, Gothamist, Rebecca MacKinnon, Groklaw, Jay Rosen, Groklaw, Glenn Reynolds (a.k.a. "Instapundit,"), Markos Moulitsas (a.k.a. "Kos") and many, many more filed a joint "friend-of-the-court" brief (PDF) today supporting the journalists in Apple v. Does -- the case in which Apple Computer is seeking to unmask online journalists' confidential sources for articles about forthcoming Apple products. They argue that journalism is a verb, not a noun -- to adopt a functional test that "will not impede journalists' use of the Internet to report news by limiting their constitutional protections when they publish there."

All of us here at Boing Boing were also proud to sign on to this brief. Link

Bugmenot appears to have been taken offline by its creators. The site served as a clearinghouse for shared passwords to registration-required websites. Subscription-based website owners despised it, hassle-hating 'net users loved it. No word on what happened (bugmenot peeps: talk to me, honey), but I'd betcha dollars to downloads that lawyers were involved. (via MeFi)

What happened to Bugmenot

What happened to Bugmenot 08/19/2004 11:42 AM
As menti oned here last night, Bugmenot is now, well, not. A recent post on the MozillaZine forums by someone understood to be the admin for Bugmenot.com says:

"Our host pulled the plug. I reckon they were pressured. If anyone has got some secure, preferably offshore hosting in mind then please let us know so we can get the service back up as soon as possible."

Lin k (Thanks, Michael)

Update: Several BoingBoing readers wrote in to say something like this, from reader Bryan Swain: "I don't have the inside scoop on what happened to BugMeNot, but thought you might find this interesting. I've used the site in the past from work with no trouble, but as of today, it is blocked (our company uses WebSense filtering). I get a message saying that the site is blocked by the "Racism and Hate" category... figure that one out! The WebSense site has a section where you can see what sites fall into what categories and suggest changes, but, ironically enough, you have to register to use those areas. No thanks."

Bugmenot.com returns! "They'll have to

Xeni Jardin: Following up on the mystery surrounding Bugmenot.com's disappearance, Mr. Bugmenot himself delivers the following message to Boingboing readers via encrypted carrier pigeon:

Our stinkin host pulled the plug on us without notice (pretty obvious they were pressured somehow). But everything is sweet again- I've been in talk with our new hosts and they are very sympathetic to the cause and won't be pulling the plug on us again. Thanks for your support and concern but they are going to have to pry this site from my cold, dead hands :)

And within minutes of reading this message, we learn that the site is indeed once again online. Link (Thanks for spotting that, Jean-Luc!)

Xeni Jardin: Following up on yesterday's post that corporate 'Net filtering service Websense was blocking the recently departed Bugmenot.com as a "Racism and Hate" site, BoingBoing reader Scott Lindsey says:

"I'm pretty sure I know what's up with that. Currently, bugmenot.com resolves to 69.93.251.37, which is probably an ISP server, with multiple sites. Reverse DNS results in ns2.dissidenthosting.com, which redirects http to www.micetrap.net (same IP address). It's a mail-order house for skinhead music and related paraphernalia. Also, according to the mozillazine forum originally linked to, bugmenot will be back up in a few days, now hosted by nearlyfreespeech.net."
