David Pescovitz: Developed by researchers at Israel's Assuta Medical Centers, the Saliwell Crown is an electronic tooth implant that stimulates saliva production. Diseases like AIDS, Parkinson's, and some antidepressants and chemotherapy can cause brutal dry mouth that inhibits speech and sleep. The device contains a wetness sensor, microchip, and electrodes that zap the lingual nerve to trigger saliva production. Link (to Technology Review article), Link (to News-Medical.Net article)

Hungry for some pizza, but can't stand all that pesky human interaction you have to put up with ordering it on the phone? Pizza Party is your answer:

Pizza Party has many features to make ordering pizza easy:

* Can order pizza with only a few keystrokes.
* Can save pizza preferences.
* Can use batch files for ordering many pizzas.

Potty mouth Cheney

Potty mouth Cheney 06/26/2004 07:40 AM

Washington Post

"On Tuesday, Cheney, serving in his role as president of the Senate, appeared in the chamber for a photo session. A chance meeting with Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (Vt.), the ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, became an argument about Cheney's ties to Halliburton Co., an international energy services corporation, and President Bush's judicial nominees. The exchange ended when Cheney offered some crass advice.

'Fuck yourself,' said the man who is a heartbeat from the presidency."

...Even if the Senate were in session, the vice president, though constitutionally the president of the Senate, is an executive branch official and therefore free to use whatever language he likes."

And this is the administration that's trying to prevent you from saying "fuck" on TV.

I don't think I've ever told a business associate to "fuck yourself", but I guess I've never been accused of corruption by an associate either. On the other hand, I can't imagine ever calling my company a super-duper company...

Macwhirled.

Had an interesting day at Macworld yesterday. As expected, Apple didn't provide wi-fi net connections during the keynote, but I had a fun time hanging out in virtual space with other journalists there, notably a crowd led by Adam Engst, who put up a wi-fi LAN and facilitated group note taking, which he put up somewhere (I'll find out later).

A sub-par Steve Jobs keynote for product announcements, I thought. Not that it mattered. My main take-away was that Apple is doing a great job of hacking the music industry, and is playing a significant role (how intentionally it's not clear) in the mass market shift from a consumer to a producer culture.

What will happen when all of us can be the first sources of music and movies as well as journals and books? A bigger, freer and far more interesting marketplace, is what.

As Jess Hemerly writes on A Great Notion , "There's something about the way this Washington Post article is written that makes the entire scenario 3,000 times funnier." From the article:

"On Tuesday, Cheney, serving in his role as president of the Senate, appeared in the chamber for a photo session. A chance meeting with Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (Vt.), the ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, became an argument about Cheney's ties to Halliburton Co., an international energy services corporation, and President Bush's judicial nominees. The exchange ended when Cheney offered some crass advice.

From The Center for Media Research.... BuzzMetrics, a company specializing in word of mouth research and planning, released a new report revealing how word of mouth and online discussion forums shaped a food-industry crises. When a leading consumer advocacy group filed a lawsuit against food giant Kraft over its use of partially-hydrogenated oils in Oreo cookies, a frenzy erupted across thousands of consumer online discussion platforms. According to BuzzMetrics' analysis of over 2.6 million comments from over 120,000 consumers, the Ban Trans Fats legal assault on Oreo caused the total volume of online discussions on trans fats to increase more...

Stealing with Mouth Wide Open?

Stealing with Mouth Wide Open? 04/02/2005 10:51 PM

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.

Artists uses mouth to make chewing gum
sculptures 07/26/2004 03:50 PM
World of Wonder has a video clip of a man who makes little animals sculptures out of chewing gum, using his mouth to mold them.

"He prefers to work with gum that is past the expiration date. It takes him about three hours of chewing to get a piece of gum the right consistency for art. Once he's done that, it takes him only 30 second to make a turtle, 20 seconds for a pig, and over a minute for something complicated like a UFO. Unless he's out and about handing the sculptures to unsuspecting kids, he submerges the tiny artifacts in water to harden them. When he's really on his game he can do as many as 20 an hour."

So How Did You Find Out About The Word
Of Mouth Marketing Conference?

So How Did You Find Out About The Word
Of Mouth Marketing Conference? 03/22/2005 05:03 PM
For the past decade or so, there's been a growing interest in the concept of "word of mouth" or "viral" marketing -- where the idea is to get people to tell others about it. This has been helped along (greatly) by the rise of the internet. Since it's a communications platform more than a content platform, it makes it quite easy for people to tell others about something interesting or cool that they've seen, even if it is advertising. So, it was only a matter of time until some marketers set up a conference just for word of mouth marketing -- though, you have to wonder exactly how they got the... er... word out. It will be interesting to see how this technique evolves, because too many marketers still seem to think that marketing is about tricking users into viewing an ad or buying a product. The whole point of viral marketing isn't to trick people, but to make the advertising interesting and engaging so that people want to find out more about your product. That's a very different mindset, and it's not clear everyone has figured that out yet.

Hateful mouth and fingers that express
themselves so badly... 11/10/2003 11:06 PM

Some of the things I'm thinking about at the moment - at work and not at work - that I'm having real trouble articulating for some reason but that maybe I can do something with if I set some of them free:

• Collaborative online experiences for friends, small groups, one-on-one interactions - going places to do things with friends, co-browsing, co-experiencing, what it's like being at the cinema with a friend, backgrounded/instinctual non-verbal communications, presence-and-flocking, hello, Non-stranger-spaced, non-subject-focused discussions, tiny permeable-membrane reducers, three degrees;
• Routinely time-shifted media, ubiquities of recording and collation technologies, "Death of live", time-based design and the end of time-based content, programming in the middle of the night is as important as during the middle of the day, navigating insane scheduling information, worn paths, distribution technologies, bittorrent;
• Simplicities of structures, metadatas, identifiers, organisational principles, multi-use tags, clumpings, technological strata versus social orders;
• Leaderships, relationships, political managements, social engagement as game, rules of games, message-boards as prime structural spaces to test political systems, American free-market reputation economies, capturing ill-formed relationships, alpha behaviour, dominance, leadership, leader-led vs. leader-less groups;
• Information in the air, tiny LCD screens, scrolling data printed on milk-cartons, teddy bears that react to the weather, Ceefax, smoke-alarms, application-updates through the radio...

Gah. I can't think properly. Too much stuff piling up unexpressed. Too many things I'm not expressing properly. Too many opportunities not to produce stuff of suitable quality and value.
