Doonesbury to be dropped for being "too
controversial" 07/23/2004 02:39 AM
The Continental Features comics syndicate has announced that it will be dropping Doonesbury because the strip is "too controversial" (lately, Trudeau has been using the strip to criticise the Iraq War and Fox News).

The Continental head said he doesn't know exactly when "Doonesbury" will leave the package; he's currently polling clients to see if they want to replace it with "Agnes," "Get Fuzzy," "Pickles," "Zits," or another comic.

Great DVD cartoons at 99-Cent Only
stores 09/18/2004 06:34 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: I'm stopping at my local 99-cent store today. As reported in Cartoon Brew:

Rivaling Fleischer studios with their abstract rubber-hose animation style and hot jazz musical scores, the RKO Van Beuren Tom & Jerry cartoons (1931-1933) have become classics for their sheer surrealism. Currently in distribution at 99 Cents Only Stores is one of the greatest bargains I've ever seen: a dvd of nine Van Beuren TOM & JERRY cartoons! That's 11 cents per cartoon! And if that's not enough for you, it comes with a free 10 minute phone card inside the package!!

(Semi-related aside: Many moons ago, I wrote about a trip to the 99-Cent Only store for the print edition of bOING bOING) Link

Digital video restoration process ruins
old cartoons 04/08/2005 03:19 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: Amid says: This post is a primer about DVNR ("digital video noise reduction"), a technology that is used by movie studios to clean up dirt and grain from film prints. It works fine in live-action, but when used with animation, it has a tendency to erase and distort parts of the image.

Recent releases of Rocky & Bullwinkle, Woody Woodpecker, Tom & Jerry and Looney Tunes have all been marred by DVNR technology. This is not a new problem and DVNR has ruined many cartoon releases since the early-'90s, but it's been angering a lot of cartoon fans in the online community recently. The post has links to other articles and discussions of DVNR and cartoons.

Newsgator 2.0

Newsgator 2.0 01/09/2004 09:58 PM

Press Release - NewsGator Online Services...: I was one of the beta testers for Newsgator 2.0. I can finally vouch that it's a stunning piece of work, since I've been under an NDA for the last two months.

In addition to launching NewsGator 2.0 at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this week, NewsGator Technologies announced its new NewsGator Online Services offerings to users today.

If you have an RSS aggregator at work and home, and you get irritated at having to read everything twice, then this is your tool. It can sync two versions of itself via a central server. Plus, Newsgator Online Services offers Web-based RSS aggregation for when you're on the road.

I use Thunderbird for email, but I still have Outlook open because I can't give up Newsgator.

NewsGator 1.0 Released

NewsGator 1.0 Released 03/13/2003 10:23 AM

Highlands Ranch, CO - February 24, 2003 - Reinacker & Associates, Inc. has released NewsGator 1.0, a news aggregator for Microsoft Outlook. NewsGator retrieves news from multiple sources such as weblogs and news sites that support the RSS syndication format, and integrates the news items into Outlook folders.

News aggregators such as NewsGator are becoming more mainstream as more sites syndicate their content, and are changing the way people view the web. There are thousands of weblogs alone, with content covering nearly every subject area. "NewsGator has had a huge positive impact on my web experience," said Adam Howitt from Biolab, Inc.

Other tools on the market require users to learn to use a new application to read weblogs and news articles; NewsGator leverages the experience many users already have with Microsoft Outlook. "Outlook integration is a killer feature," said George Young, Tulane University. "To be able to view weblog posts in the same application as my e-mail is fantastic." By allowing these users to leverage the powerful organizational features of Outlook in new ways, NewsGator enhances their web experience.

NewsGator is also the natural choice for companies starting to deploy weblogs internally on their intranets. Since Outlook is the de facto standard email application within many companies, it's an easy decision to read the syndicated weblog feeds inside of Outlook as well.

NewsGator also includes the "NewsPage", which is a single page summarizing all of the unread posts in your news folders. It provides a quick, at-a-glance view of your latest news with a single click.

NewsGator 1.0 is available immediately. Pricing is $29 (US) per copy with quantity discounts available.

Greg was at SuperNova today. Quite a schmooze fest.

I subscribed to Newsgator today myself. It's the first time I've ever used .NET.

We're happy to announce that we have moved to a new hosting facility over the weekend, and anticipate much better reliability and performance now. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused!

DNS propogation may take up to a week; if you notice any problems after that, please let us know.

NewsGator: Beyond the Aggregator

NewsGator: Beyond the Aggregator 07/03/2004 09:23 PM

Why Did We Invest in NewsGator?: Here's a post from a venture capitalist about why he invested in NewsGator.

The misperception is that NewsGator is only an Outlook plug-in. While the most popular product from NewsGator is currently their Outlook-based aggregator, what really turned us on when we dug into NewsGator as a potential investment is NewsGator Online Services (NGOS).

Greg Reinacker's vision is much broader than simply an RSS aggregator - his goal is to provide RSS content on any device. NewsGator currently provides clients for Outlook, the Web, POP email, mobile devices (web-based and wap), and Microsoft Media Center (how cool is it to get an RSS feed on your TV?).

He makes a good point — NewsGator has really extended past Outlook. They started with that, and the Outlook plug-in is what they're most well-known for, but I just wrapped up 30 days with Newsgator Online Services (NOS), and I can tell you that they've deftly transcended the aggregator.

While working with NOS, I got the...feeling, that news and information was just out there, everywhere, and it was up to me how I wanted to receive it. They have options to push information to about any device, on any platform. I've never felt more saturated by news in my life than during those 30 days.

Information was everywhere — so much so that I stopped thinking in terms of this aggreagtor or that protocol. I was just swimming in information, and the method in which I chose to receive it was almost incidental. Petty, even.
