Shakespeare in quarto

Shakespeare in quarto 09/10/2004 02:23 PM
The Beeb points at the British Library's Shakespear e in quarto, a collection of 93 copies of 21 plays by the Bard printed in quarto and now digitized for your perusal.

Twenty-one of Shakespeare's plays were published in quarto before 1642. They appeared in more than 70 quarto editions, nearly all of which are held by the British Library. Many of these editions are held in more than one copy. In all, 93 copies can be viewed on this site.
...
The digitised quarto editions are placed in context by a brief introduction to each play. These discuss the date the play was created, and when it was first performed. The editions, in quarto and in folio, are listed. Shakespeare drew on a variety of sources to create his plays, and some of these are listed. Each introduction includes the story of the play.

Mark Frauenfelder: Rogier sez: "Most people would do anything to get out of the way of a tsunami. But daredevils with a death wish would like to RIDE one, and they're keeping their surf boards ready. Officials in Hawaii are still a bit freaked out by the memory of 400-plus surf enthusiasts showing up on the beaches of Oahu ten years ago, trying to catch a killer wave. To prevent a repeat, a public-safety DVD has been distributed through Hawaiian surf shops this fall.

"The message is sure to get lost on this guy, who was caught on film riding a monster wave that would give mere mortals heart attacks (though from the looks of it, it isn't nearly on the magnitude of the walls of waters that wiped out tens of thousands of people in South East Asia yesterday). Link

The Personal Surfing Menace

The Personal Surfing Menace 06/29/2004 02:15 PM
What is it with filtering companies and their need to put out fear-filled studies about just how many people are (gasp!) surfing non-work sites at work? Plenty of studies have shown that a little personal personal surfing at work may be a good thing for productivity and employee health and morale. It lets them recharge their batteries, as well as take care of personal business that might drag them fully away from work otherwise. However, companies that sell filters always feel the need to bring it up as if it's some sort of horrible office problem. That's true in the latest study by some random web filtering company that points out that people see other employees at work surfing shopping and news sites all the time. What's amusing is that, rather than asking people if they do these things, the survey asks them only if they've "seen others" do it -- and then follows it up by noting that 35% were "bothered" by seeing others shopping online while 29% were bothered by others' sports surfing. First off, just because so many people see others doing it, it doesn't mean that they all are. In an office of 100 people, there could be one person doing personal surfing (1%), but everyone could see them, giving a response of 99% - so the numbers are misleading. Second, there's no indication of other issues related to what bothers people. If you see someone who isn't getting their work done at all, then perhaps it makes sense to be bothered to find out they're checking up on the latest scores. However, if they're productive, who cares? Why should it matter if one employee is bothered that another is surfing a sports site? Perhaps that employee is bothered that the other one keeps peaking over the cubicle wall to see what they're surfing. Maybe the company should start making taller cubicles to protect against that "bothersome" issue. The study also plays the "oh no! porn!" card to scare people as well -- warning that office workers are often "accidentally" exposed to porn. What's really amusing here is that, unlike with the personal surfing questions (which ask about co-workers' activities), the questions on porn surfing were asked of the worker themselves, making it much more likely that they'll say it was an "accident." When you do so something, it's an accident. When someone else does it, it's problematic. But, don't worry, this filtering company will solve all those problems...

Will You Get Different Prices Depending

Will You Get Different Prices Depending
On Where You're Surfing? 07/12/2004 12:14 PM
Various services are getting much better at figuring out what part of the world you happen to be surfing the internet from. Sometimes, this can be useful, in helping to customize a search to your particular needs. Some companies use it to try to throw up local advertising. While some are worried about the privacy aspects, a bigger question may be how far the customization will go. A few years ago, Amazon.com ran into a public relations nightmare when they revealed that they were offering different prices to different visitors. Even if that's a more efficient way of doing business, something felt "unfair" about it to most people. Now, some expect websites to start doing something similar based on geography. That is, if you're surfing from a higher income area, the prices you see will be higher. Again, if this does actually happen, expect there to be something of a backlash -- even if it is what happens out there in the brick-and-mortar world. Local stores often charge based on the region they're in, and not on some nationally agreed upon price. Still, if this does happen, it won't be long before services are available to make it appear as if you're surfing from a cheap region, and the whole point of the geographically differentiated pricing system will go away.

Surfing property rights

Surfing property rights 08/10/2004 02:05 PM
Great blog entry about the rules regarding surfers' "property rights" of ocean waves and how the surfing community enforces them.

How do surfers enforce their wave rights? For the most part, they rely on the gentle arts of social suasion. Surfers bobbing in the line-up make up a community of sorts, one often strengthened by the presence of locals who know and look out for each other. Getting the stink-eye for dropping in on somebody else’s wave stings badly enough. Sanctions against repeat offenders may escalate to sharp words or, in extraordinary cases, to physical violence. When someone dropped in on me recently, for instance, I first forebore the offense, then took alarm at his unsafe proximity and verbally warned him to back-off. Finally, when that proved unavailing, I put my hand on the punk’s chest, shoved him off his board, and finished out my ride.

Conference call surfing

Conference call surfing 08/27/2004 01:34 PM

I have my PowerBook on my insTand next to my bed with a clock screen saver alarm clock. Usually, I wake up before my alarm goes off and wake up the computer instead. As soon as my status on my IM clients goes from idle to available, I get a little flurry of requests for contact. "Did you see my email?" "When can we talk?" "Don't forget our conference call coming up." "We're on a conference call right now you might want to join." I queue up these real-time requests like some sort of air traffic controller, put on my headset hooked up to my Vonage phone and get started. Today, I started the morning with an conference call on the fly with a few people on a one of the many free conference call bridges. During the call, I got an IM that I might want to drop into another conference call in progress. After my first call, I joined the second conference call which was already well on its way. I got the URL of the wiki page of the agenda and notes via IM, scanned them, and made a few comments. Then I was off again to my next call which I had queued with someone on IRC.

My question is, am I a weirdo or an edge case for how people will work once we all have IM and voice and conference calls are free.

Zora Neale Hurston Plays at the Library

The Zora Neale Hurston Plays at the Library of Congress
http://memory.loc.gov/ammem /znhhtml

The Zora Neale Hurston Plays collection at the Library of Congress present a selection of ten plays written by Hurston, author, anthropologist, and folklorist. Deposited in the United States Copyright Office between 1925 and 1944, most of the plays remained unpublished and unproduced until they were rediscovered in the Copyright Deposit Drama Collection in 1997. The plays reflect Hurston's life experience, travels, and research, especially her study of folklore in the African-American South. Totaling seven hundred images, the scripts are housed in the Library's Manuscript, Music, and Rare Books and Special Collections Divisions.

Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960), the author of the ten plays (with co-authors Langston Hughes on Mule-Bone and Dorothy Waring on Polk County), deposited these scripts with the United States Copyright Office between 1925 and 1944. Included in the scanned materials are four very short plays (sketches or skits) and six full-length plays. Most are
light-hearted if not outright comedies, and several include song lyrics without the associated music. Hurston knew the songs and the subjects of these plays from her own upbringing and her professional folklore research in the African-American South. She identified as her hometown Eatonville, Florida, the first African-American incorporated township.
During the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, Hurston traveled the American South collecting and recording the sounds and songs of her people, while her research in Haiti is reflected in the voodoo scenes and beliefs woven into several of the plays.

With the exception of Mule-Bone, the plays presented here were all unpublished when they were rediscovered in the Library of Congress in 1997. At that time, only Polk County was at all familiar to scholars on the basis of copies in other repositories. Little was known about Hurston's theatrical career until 1998, when scholarly publications began to reflect the drama discoveries announced by the Library of Congress. The discovery of the scripts, added to those Hurston plays already known, firmly establishes their author, an African-American woman, as a significant dramatist of the twentieth century.

American Memory is a gateway to rich primary source materials relating to the history and culture of the United States. The site offers more than 8 million digital items from more than 120 historical collections. [Laura Gottesman, Library of Congress]

whistle-blower's comments 04/01/2005 03:43 AM
Cory Doctorow: Joe discovered that when the Library of Congress posted the comments it got on the "Orphan Works" proceeding, it failed to redact the personal info of the submitters, simply covering them with a white box, which anyone could see through with a simple copy-paste operation. He complained to the Library of Congress, so they deleted his comment.

I had assurances from the LoC that they had fixed this personal information disclosure. However, working with the folks at freeculture.org, it appears that their "solution" was to remove my comment document only (instead of a more general solution). Moreover, all the original unredacted files are available in the ZIP file they offer... which hasn't been updated.

Man, doesn't anyone know someone at the LoC who can get things done? Well, I guess that's the price I pay for providing feedback (participation tax, I suppose).

Hurston Plays Expose Copyright Hypocrisy

Hurston Plays Expose Copyright Hypocrisy 01/16/2004 11:28 AM

Over on Siva Vaidhyanathan's blog, Peter Hirtle rightly nails the Library of Congress for its hypocritical stance on copyright.

Library of Congress Having it Both Ways!

"Did you see the following press release from the Library of Congress's American Memory project? They are crowing about the fact that they have made important unpublished plays by Zora Neale Hurston available through their web site.

I (like them) think this is a terrific thing - but they can only do this because the plays were registered for copyright as unpublished manuscripts. The copyright was then never renewed.

Since that time, and with the active support of the Copyright Office (in the Library of Congress), registration has been removed as a requirement for copyright and copyright term has been lengthened. If the law as it stands today was in effect when the plays were written, these plays could not be made available until 2031." [SIVACRACY.NET]

And let's not forget that most of these plays were lost to the world until 1997 when they were rediscovered in the Copyright Deposit Drama Collection. If they'd been buried under copyright law, we wouldn't even know about them until (at best) 2031.
