Munch's "The Scream," "Madonna" stolen
from art museum
08/22/2004 01:26 PMXeni Jardin: In Oslo, armed robbers stole one of
several known versions of
Th
e Scream along with
Madonna (
Caution! This art is totally NSFW!). These
two iconic works by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch are considered
impossible to sell because they're so well-known. In other words, odds
may be high that they'll end up destroyed. One of the paintings was
the subject of an earlier failed ransom demand. Snip from Reuters
report:
Two masked robbers ran into the Munch Museum, threatened staff with a
gun and forced people to lie down before taking "The Scream", an icon
of existentialist angst showing a waif-like figure against a blood-red
sky, and "Madonna". They escaped in a dark-coloured car, perhaps an
Audi, driven by a third man. The pictures, worth millions of dollars
and among Munch's best-known works, were later cut from their frames
which were found in another part of the city.

Apple's
silhouette iPod ads have been far more pervasive than anyone probably
imagined, and now thanks to an anonymous New Yorker (or, more likely,
New Yorkers) armed with a Sharpie the posters have become a platform
for expressing the various feelings of hate, jealousy, passion, and,
yes, poetry, that the tropical-hued advertisements and their white
audio sperm inspire. Starting with the same argument levied against
the iPod's great uncle, the Walkman, the phrase, "The "i" in iPod
stands for isolation," was scribbled on the first ad, replicated down
the line with "irrational," "insecure," and other iWords taking the
place of "isolation." Deep! Ironically, the people that felt the need
to parley an mp3 player into social critique are exactly the people we
wear headphones to avoid. (Thanks, Matt!)

bikrammed madonna
I left LA around noon, to make it back up to Oakland by 10pm, maybe
time to meet Amy after her
flight and eat some Korean food. And I had a brief Scream screed due
for TheFeature.
Just partway up Highway 5 from Los Angeles and Allison makes
contact - I met her through this site, emailing and posting comments.
I interviewed her years ago as part of Links.net folks but I
haven't posted it yet. "I have a lot going on," I said by way of
apologizing. She verbally punched me.
That was over oysters. She invited me to take the road past Santa
Barbara to get back to San Francisco. It's a longer road but I had
already missed meeting her on my last drive in February. So I arranged
to stop in her town yesterday. I suggested we grab a bite to eat
before I hit the road. She insisted we do some hot room Bikram yoga. That was
her plan last time and she met all my whining about deadlines and
driving with teasing and pushing.
So I found myself in a bikram yoga studio in the prototypical
California resort town. It's like doing yoga in a sauna. This Bikram
guy was pictured on a poster in the room, twisted around himself with
immaculately coifed hair sitting on top of an animal skin, on the
beach. What kind of a yogi sits on a pelt?
The room itself was a non descript facility in a mall, with extra
heating units abounding. Man that place smelled strong. The funk.
Months and years of hot human dank. I'm imagine if that yoga sweat
studio ever moves out and some poor clothing store tries to set up
there, that room will never stop smelling like old pores.
Our class was lead by a late middle-aged looking man wearing a
headset. He kept up an incredible steady banter - sportscasting our
suffering. This was only possible, I figured, since he wasn't
performing any of the incredibly ass-kickingly hard exercises he was
describing. Sweat was running into my nose, into my eyes, my knees
were slipping against each other, my shorts were wet, I touched my
slick and slimy skin. The towel beneath me was wet with sweat. I did
all that I could, skipping parts of only a few exercises. 90 minutes
of hard yoga in a hot room - I couldn't decide whether to vomit or
pass out. I drank a ton of water. I threw death threats at Allison
with my eyes - for inviting me into this hell.
All the while, this guy is talking about the monkey mind and
encouraging us to look at ourselves in the mirror. Never been to a
martial arts or yoga tai chi type class where I was so encouraged to
look at myself. 
Red face ribs showing huffle puffle
wet hair and bony knees. I kept trying not to look at the lady in
front of me, with a tight body and a massive boob job. Boobs popping
out the side of her tank top, as she's standing on one foot, grabbing
the other and lifting her arm. Crazy boob job and yoga.
It was a throttling experience - I did feel quite high afterwards.
Like I wanted to sit in a swimming pool or lay on a wood bench and
feel all my chakras coursing with chi. Drink an assload of gatorade
and eat a pile of cheeseburgers. Here's a picture of Allison and me,
just after class.
Driving back, scenic tour
through Santa Barbara - I blasted Prince's "Let's Go Crazy" off her
IPod, "a place of neverending happiness, you can always see the sun,
day or night" and I watched some very white teeth and light colored
hairs turn towards our cruising station wagon. She pointed out
Brophy's near the ocean, and I suggested we top off our workout with a
dozen raw oysters. We traded stories and laughed good and hard.
Then I did have to hit the road, for all my work and wanting to
sleep in my own bed. 8.50pm at a small rest stop near Gaviola I talked
with a lone-riding biker lady, coming back from her place in Montana,
at the end of a three days ride. She suggested I had at least five
hours to go. Shouldn't I drive across the state some, to hit the
straight-shot 5 freeway? No, 101 is a beautiful drive. At night? I
asked, incredulous. It's not worth driving over to the other freeway,
she promised.
Another hour of driving and I realized I was tired. Too tired to
keep on - I could have had a Red Bull energy drink to stay awake. But
what would Bikram say? I decided not to push myself hard and bleary
eyed pulling towards Oakland two am no food no lights not safe. Why
not sleep full eight and drive straight in the day light?
Working mobile/internet, CHecker tried to find me a
room from some OddWorld local
San Luis Obispo Indie Game
Jam veterans. Too short notice - happily, I ended up in the magic
grounds of the Madonna Inn.
One of America's great hotels - kitsch embraced and extended through
every fixture - each room a unique homage to some aspect of travel or
location. A great attitude too; this solo driver was offered a $95
rate for a night in Swiss Bell. Stone
walls, waterfall shower, wooden ceiling. As close as I've been to the
style and brilliance of Love
Hotels in my birth nation.
 |
| I sat in a chair and pounded out my assignment, using my Treo 600 mobile phone
as a 150k bps modem since the Madonna Inn may be the last bastion of
true 'merican taste but it only has dial-up. |
 |
| Then I laid in bed, admiring the hand-painted broad wooden
armoire, very much Swiss-like. I watched Hosni Mubarak on
C-Span, waiting for him to give some insight into modern Egypt.
Instead he was asked mostly about Israel and Palestine.
Sigh. |
 |
| When I woke up this morning, the stained glass swiss cows and
flowers had come alive. Behind the windows, trees and a grass covered
rock pile. Beautiful! |

About 5 or 10 minutes later I started smelling smoke and heard my dad
looking in the attic outside my room. It was now he started screaming,
"The house is REALLY on fire. Get anything you can and get out!" He
said this as he walked down the stairs and when he came back in after
putting something outside.
I was a bit panicked and shaken but I grabbed my backpack and threw my
computers in it and put on some pants. I should have probably put on
the pants with my wallet in them, but for some reason I didn't. And I
should have probably got a jacket as well seeing as it is so cold now.
LinkStudents Give Out Burned CDs At Prom
Students Give Out Burned CDs At Prom
05/14/2004 09:02 PMSome high school students organizing a prom in Wisconsin thought it
would be a great idea to give out a CD to each of approximately 500
students who came to the prom - as a nice memento. They spent $1,845
to have the CD cases professionally made, but didn't think about
actually paying for the songs. They just
burned the CD's three songs themselves. The RIAA won't say
what they're doing, but clearly they're looking into the situation.
Obviously, the kids involved broke the law. It's an open and shut
case of copyright infringement. However, take a step back and ask the
more important questions: did the recording industry "lose" anything
in doing this? First off, it's unlikely they would have allowed the
students to create the CD in the first place - so it wasn't as if they
lost out on the fees they would have charged. Even if they somehow
were convinced to allow it, they likely would have charged an amount
that would have been too costly for the students. Again, they
wouldn't have lost anything because no money would have been paid.
Finally, since the students
did go out and put a grand total of
three songs on the CD, how many "sales" can the industry claim
they lost? The students didn't receive a whole CD, and it's likely
that some of the students liked one, two or all three of the songs on
the CD - and may have been intrigued enough by the songs to go out and
purchase the CD that they came from. The law here is clear. The
students were wrong. However, shouldn't we look at whether or not
that makes any sense?

Operators May Get Burned on Flat Rate 3G
Operators May Get Burned on Flat Rate 3G
09/16/2004 01:02 PMResearchers at Analysys say that cellular operators should resist
offering flat rate pricing for 3G access: They say that such pricing
schemes aim to compete with DSL or Wi-Fi services but that the end
result will be heavy Internet traffic on the 3G networks. Instead,
operators should focus on valuable services that can be delivered to
cell phones which they can charge more money for. Cellular operators
certainly didn't envision the existence of Wi-Fi when they first
jumped into 3G. With plenty of hotspots available in most cities,
users may decide to go the extra mile to find a hotspot rather than
use an expensive 3G service, which may be why cellular operators feel
compelled to at least mimic the flat-rate pricing of some Wi-Fi access
plans. T-Mobile is in a particularly good position, offering both
cellular and plenty of hotspots. When it recently introduced an HP
iPaq that includes both Wi-Fi and cellular, it planned to introduce a
flat rate fee that includes both GPRS and Wi-Fi. It's a good way for
T-Mobile to hedge in the hopes that heavy data use travels over the
Wi-Fi network and lighter, on-the-move access happens on the GPRS
network....
