Open source cracks publishing wide open
06/17/2004 11:24 AMOnce upon a time, publishing was the domain of large corporations.
Then came desktop publishing and the tools to produce a book shrank
from the cost of an aircraft carrier to the price tag of a PT boat.
Now, small publishers on the bleeding edge of technology are fomenting
a revolution that may change the publishing market forever. Open
source publishing tools, long derided as not being ready for battle,
are proving themselves in the trenches of small publishing.

05/16/2004 12:24 PMFor all of the FUD that some are eager to spread about Free Software
and Open Source, the real truth is that the purveyors of such tripe
are truly fearful that you might learn the simple object lesson: a
long and happy life is filled with learning. They want you to believe
that you are too ignorant to understand new ideas, and that your
capacity for learning has eluded you. They need you to believe that
you are too lazy to make an effort to think for yourself. Don't buy
that idea, for it is nothing more than an abdication of your
obligations. Try to learn something new every day, no matter how
small, for it will sharpen your mind and rejuvenate your spirit.

Last night, I've been thinking about Russell's
post on PSP in which he wrote:
So I snagged Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow this weekend via
BitTorrent and
then converted it to run on my PSP.
Actually, it wasn't that he snagged a major movie off BitTorrent
that had me thinking.
He wouldn't have been able to unless it wasn't a common albeit
illegal and shadowy activity.
What had me thinking was his response to the obvious questions:
I simply described an activity that many, many people are already
doing with or without
me. Do you really think that not talking about this sort of illegal
use of BitTorrent
is going to somehow protect it?
While my answer to his question is no, I do think talking in public
about illegal
activities does somehow cause changes, changes which the affected
or interested parties
(i.e. MPAA, FBI) may consider extremely harmful and thus proceed to
counter by setting
examples.
Based on my mutated theory of ying and yang, what belongs in
the shadow should
stay in the shadow. Failing to do so leads to chaos.
Mind Wide Open excerpt
Mind Wide Open excerpt
02/18/2004 10:53 AMSalon is running a long excerpt from Steven Johnson's mindblowing new
book,
Mind Wide Open, which I read last week and have been returning
to in my thoughts several times a day. Johnson takes apart the jargon
and theory of various kinds of brain and mind science and exposes us
to a bunch of aha! moments about the physiological, evolutionary and
non-material bases for our thought processes. Reading this book, you
get this curious form of vertigo in which you begin to see your brain
as a collection of chemicals and processes and physiological
serendipities, and then realize that that very same collection of goo
is the thing that is having this realization, and boy, that's a weird
goddamned feeling. As for me, after reading this I'm in the market
for a cheap travel-sized USB neurofeedback EEG.
Areas that do show noticeable changes appear on the images as a
cluster of bright yellow pixels, fading out to orange and red at their
peripheries. The images look strikingly like the Doppler radar images
you see on the Weather Channel. (If you blur your eyes a little, you
might think that yellow patch on the image was a thunderhead, not a
brainstorm.) The image is projected over a grid with numbers running
along each axis. The numbered grid and the slices create a
three-dimensional system of coordinates, the latitude and longitude of
neuromapping. The grid is made up of small cubes called "voxels," and
each voxel has a specific address.
Joy begins by laying down the twenty-five slices for stage one of our
experiment, the dreaded checkerboard. The pattern of activity is
immediately visible, even to my untutored eyes, mostly because there's
literally nothing going on in 95 percent of my brain. Only a thin band
wrapping around the back of my head, roughly at ear level, glows
yellow.
"We know that the flashing checkerboard is a very salient stimulus for
just the visual processing areas of the brain," she says. "And that's
exactly what's happening here."

In 1999, the World
Wide Web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee looked back on the previous
decade and lamented: “I wanted the Web to be what I call an
interactive space where everybody can edit. And I started saying
‘interactive,’ and then I read in the media that the Web was great
because it was ‘interactive,’ meaning you could click. This was
not what I meant by interactivity.” That vision of a genuinely
interactive environment rather than “a glorified television
channel”—one in which people not only would browse pages but also
would edit them as part of the process—did not disappear with the
rise of the read-only Web browser.1 It’s churning away more actively
than ever, in a vivid and chaotic Web-within-the-Web, via an anarchic
breed of pages known as “wikis.”. This has been added to my Wikis
section in Bots, Blogs and News
Aggregators web page.

My March
21 entry about upcoming.org turned out to be an odd juxtaposition
because, on the same day, a new events database called EVDB was announced and shown at PC
Forum. It's due out shortly in public beta but I haven't seen it, so
for now I only know what you can also learn from reading, among
others: Dan
Farber, Ross
Mayfield, Om Malik, David
Weinberger, and Paul
Kedrosky (whose recent archive is missing this morning, yikes).
The consensus seems to be that EVDB will be a Web-2.0-style,
Wiki-style, RSS-friendly, Flickr-and-del.icio.us-like thingy. Sounds
promising! I'll certainly check it out when it's public.

« Jarkko and Otava survey the snowy park vista. A gallery filled
with 15mm of puppy
and crane porn. »
After about a year of reading reviews and trying to find one locally,
I succumbed to my lust for a Voigtlander 15mm/f4.5 Aspherical
Super-Wide Heliar lens and ordered one day when I was feeling
particularly weak. I ordered it from a shop in California since the
only one I could find here was twice the price, used, and came with a
camera I didn't really need or want. The only downside is that it's
not coupled to the rangefinder so you have to guesstimate the focal
distance, but the depth of field makes up for a lack of distance
precision. It has a 110° field of view, weighs a mere 4oz, a
30.7mm profile and can focus as close as .3m. The lens arrived a few
weeks ago but I hadn't had time to try it out. Saturday, I thought it
would be nice to take a few pictures of Otava to see what it could do.
The lack of distortion and only mild vignetting is pretty impressive
for such a wide and inexpensive lens. [as an aside, anyone who has a
Leica and wants a $300 lens from a company who knows how to ship to
the EU *wink*wink* drop me a line.]
As a followup to the ag
ing population of Helsinki there is a story about the po
pulation explosion of weiner dogs in Finland. They are definitely
popular in my neighbourhood with little old ladies in fur hats where
the weiner dog quantum number is two, sometimes even three. There are
quite a few puppies between 6 and 12 months in the park these days,
many of them aren't very well behaved regardless of size. More than a
few owners have mentioned that their older puppies still aren't
housebroken which seems totally abnormal. Otava has been a week
already without an accident. Maybe there needs to be an rise in puppy
training classes.
The Sanomat had a wacky article about an ar
chive of 1980s Estonian TV commercials. The "Kanahakkliha" spot is
clearly the predecessor of the "Syk Kana!" commercials from last
year. It will take another year to get the freaky chant from that out
of my head. HAKK HAKK HAKK LIHA LIHA LIHA.....
