John Perry Barlow's Trial Commences
John Perry Barlow's Trial Commences
12/17/2004 06:42 PM
John Perry Barlow's trial commences and is commented upon
by Seth David Schoen. A most interesting paragraph was:
"First follow-up question: If you think a bottle contains an
improvised explosive device, is it appropriate to shake it?
No, that's almost the worst thing you can do.
Second: Is it appropriate to open the bottle?
No, that's the worst thing you can do.
The defense then argued that Ms. Ramos could not really have believed
that the ibuprofen bottle in question contained an improved[sic]
explosive device, because she had testified that, on removing it from
Barlow's bag, she became suspicious of it, then shook it, and then
opened it. These actions were the most dangerous actions she could
possibly have taken if she really believed that the bottle might
contain explosives..."

Reason interviews John Perry Barlow
Reason interviews John Perry Barlow
08/12/2004 04:36 PMReason has published the best interview with John Perry
Barlow I've read. He talks about becoming a reality TV star, a
Democrat, and getting busted for marijuana possession at an airport.
I have grave misgivings about John Kerry, but I certainly don’t
have misgivings about Kerry that equal the terror I have about another
four years of Bush. What he’s done to aspects of the
Constitution that are there to assure individual rights is
breathtakingly bad.
...
I had a conversation with Kerry. It was pretty disheartening. I
asked how he felt about civil liberties. He said, "I’m for
’em!" That’s great, but how do you feel about Section 215
of the Patriot Act? He said, "What’s that?" I said, it basically
says any privately generated database is available for public scrutiny
with an administrative subpoena. He says, "It says that?" I say, "You
voted for it!"

Bobby
Fuller<
/a> was a Texas based rock and roll singer best known for the immortal
rebel anthem "I
Fought The Law,". Considered by many to be the heir to
Buddy Holly as the king of Texas Rock, he built on Holly's style with
songs like the aforementioned "...Law,"
"Jenny Lee," "Love's Made A Fool Of
You," and the 2 1/2 minute masterpiece "Let Her
Dance." And then it ended,
at age
22, in very
weird circumstances. Over the years, interest in Fuller and his work
has ebbed and flowed, and plenty of
archival material surfaced, but the mystery of his death
remains unsolved, although many have
speculated. Ann odd end for a footnote character in rick history, but who was

04/04/2005 01:18 PMCory 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 PMCory 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 PMThere 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...

05/24/2004 06:59 PMThis 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.

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

John Shirley's Burning Man report
09/06/2004 05:54 PM
Xeni Jardin:
Author, screenwriter, and former BoingBoing guestblogger John Shirley
has returned from Black Rock City. He posts this "dissenter's" report
from Burning Man.
This year there were 35,000 people at this arts festival in the desrt,
a giant refugee camp but where the strangely upscale refugees had
carried their liquor out with them--sometimes in place of their
clothes. Always an observer more than a belonger,I inevitably had
mixed feelings, especially when it's gotten big enough to include a
significant percentage of knuckleheads, dopeheads, philistines, and
"tour-or-rists" as the Burning Man's temporary radio station called
them. Most Burning Man self expression, though pretty at night with
its fluorescent trimmings, is sheer kitsch. It's about on the level of
high school students planning decorations for their prom. Much of
Black Rock City, nowadays, has a spring-break, frat-party feel to it.
Much else is just rave culture spillover, replete, I'm sorry to say,
with MDMA aka X, that Stealth Brain-Damage Drug. There is a constant
white nose from 'drum circles', and thudding obnoxious party music
from "party vehicles" like parade floats who've lost their parades,
drifting about the gigantic horseshoe-shape of the festival playing
dance music, and even Van Halen, waving margarita glasses and going
'woo! Woo!' and shaking bodyparts. That's some pretty inspiring art
there, boy. On the other hand there are the Mutaytors, doing athletic
punk rock fire art; there is the burning of the Temple, a beautiful
many-stories-high Asianesque temple, of components that vary with the
year--this year strange shapes from the frames that held bones of
dinosaur-bones-kits, so you have negative-dinosaur and mammoth
bones-shapes wrought into an intricate temple, an Eiffelish design but
more art-decoish...Some beautifully designed party vehicles (one that
was of four Egyptian gods carrying an artfully detailed
ancient-Egyptian palanquin filled with people dressed as courtiers,
seemed to have been made by a professional prop outfit--I suspect hip
millionaires rub elbows with street people here), there's the grand
convocation of 800 art cars converging like animals coming to a
nighted waterhole for the Burning of the Man, the giant statue
consumed first in fireworks and then fire, flames that go forest-fire
sized.

General Barlow's dancin' platoons
planning to boogie at the RNC
08/29/2004 10:41 AM
Cory Doctorow:
General John Perry Barlow continues to plan his mad protest of the RNC
in which hundreds of secret agents dressed like civilians will
converge on a public, off-limits-to-protestors space, turn on a boom
box, and DANCE LIKE HELL:
2. TEXT MESSAGE COORDINATION
I have created a text-message "loop" for us on the Ruckus site. It's
called "dancemob." This will enable all of us to receive cell phone
text messages from one another, noting current platoon location,
likely eruption zones, police movements and temperament, etc. In order
to participate, you will need to do the following:
-- Send the text "join dancemob" to 8762.
-- Once you are joined, you can send messages up to about 150
characters to your loop by texting dancemob: [your message here]" to
8762. For instance, if there were a loop named "PeaceMakers", you
would text "PeaceMakers: meet now at 32nd and 6th".
In addition, I recommend that at least some of you in each platoon
register your phone to receive bulletins from Ruckus with breaking
news and logistical updates from the streets of New York City during
the RNC.

12/11/2003 02:34 PMAn interesting line about the selves manufactured by spies (that
seems to me to have currency for all people who have cause to
narrativise their lives in one way or another) from John Le
Carré's rather blandly-titled (but also rather good) new novel
Absolute
Friends:
But who is Mundy Three, when Mundys One and Two have gone
to bed? Who is this third person who is neither one of the other two,
who lies awake while they sleep, and listens for the chimes of country
bells he doesn't hear? He is the silent spectator. he is the one
member of the audience who doesn't applaud the performances of his two
familiars. He is made up of all the odd bits of his life that are left
over after he has given the rest away.

Radio Interview with John Brady Kiesling
and John H. Brown
03/15/2003 06:05 AMKALW in San Francisco did an
hour
long radio interview with John Brady Kiesling and John H. Brown,
the American Foreign Service officers who resigned over Bush's Iraq
policy. Both are impressive speakers, and Kiesling is as articulate
and as convincing as his letter:
If we can't convince
our historical allies that this is a good thing to do, there is no way
we are going to be able to convince the Arab world.
People have to take a stand. War may be inevitable, but we need to do
what we can to keep our consciences clean.
There is a policy to make America safer, but this is not it.
"America is still the safest country in the world. The
administration is trying to scare people with this talk about terror
and duct tape. We should use our safety and prosperity and our
strength to do good and we can do good."
Brown said his resignation was "in part a result of Andrew Card's
comment, 'Never launch a product in August.' War is not a
product."
I learned a lot from listening to it. Recommended. Requires
