The Kingdom Of God Is Within You

The Kingdom Of God Is Within You 06/17/2004 10:14 AM
Dear Leo, Dear Mohandas "The longer I live -- especially now when I clearly feel the approach of death -- the more I feel moved to express what I feel more strongly than anything else... the doctrine of the law of love unperverted by sophistries. Love... the highest and indeed the only law of life". The Kingdom of God Is Within You (full text available) is Leo Tolstoy's tractatus of "Christianity Not as a Mystic Religion but as a New Theory of Life", a primer of (among other things) the doctrine of non-violence. Among the many fans of the 1894 book was an impr isoned Hindu barrister, a "half-naked fakir" if you want, a certain Mo handas K. Gandhi who was fascinated by "t he independent thinking, profound morality, and the truthfulness" of the b ook. So he ended up writing fan letters to the great Russian man: who warmly wrote back to his young Indian "friend and brother". The old wise Christian anarchist literary giant and the shy, insecure young man who sparked a revolution: to paraphrase another wise, badly-dressed , pacifist old man, "Generations to come, it may be, will scarcely believe that such men ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth."

Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom

Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom 01/03/2004 07:20 PM

I finally got around to reading Cory Doctorow's novella, "Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom." It's quite good, and he's got it posted for free on his Web site (in no less than 17 different formats). You may know Doctorow know from Boing Boing fame.

If you've been to the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Orlando, the book will mean more to you because it revolves around the park. It's set in a future where bodies are cloned and if you die, you just restore a clone from backup. Consequently, you lose everything since your last backup. I have to admit that I'll never look at backups quite the same way again.

Another central concept (borrowed from blogrolls, perhaps), is "Whuffie." There is no money in this world, everything is bought by reputation. The more people like you, the more Whuffie you have, the more power you have. When you meet someone new, you "ping their Whuffie," to see if they're worth your time.

The actual plot revolves around The Haunted Mansion at the Magic Kingdom and the "ad hoc" political groups that have formed to manage them like little countries. The group managing the Hall of Presidents has designs on taking over The Haunted Mansion. Intrigue ensues.

It's short — you can put it away in a couple of hours. It's winning some great sci-fi awards as well. Worth checking out.

End of the Animal Kingdom

End of the Animal Kingdom 12/21/2003 01:19 PM

It turns out the wackily ponderous movie made in Pompignan last year (shooting of which complained about here, brief review by Herself of hometown showing here) isn’t going straight to TV after all – we’d heard it was going to show on Arte sometime around now – it’s been rele ased in cinemas.

If you’re near a major French city and possessed of nothing better to do, you can head out see our very own little red-haired kid in his star turn as “little red-headed kid in schoolhouse”, Noël the vigneron as “guy in baseball cap”, the old guy on a bicycle leading his white horse down the main street as he does every day, lots of purdy haute garrigue scenery, and much else besides, in a largely unsatisfying study of longing, sensuality, death and sheep.

It’s not that bad. In many ways it’s like a two-hour love letter to our little village.

My novel, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, has made the Amazon and Chapters/Indigo editors' picks lists for best science fiction novels of 2003. Also, it's only three recommendations short of making the preliminary Nebula ballot (any SFWA members out there who dug the book?). Oh yah, and the Livejournal people are considering adding Whuffie to their system. Killer news, all 'round. (Thanks, Amanda and Bo and Micah!)

In wonderful news, this morning's postings include Andrew Levine's audio reading of the first chapter to Cory Doctorow's Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. The book had been available online under a somewhat restrictive CC in text format for a while but Cory recently loosened the reins and the artistic community seems to be responding.

Pickup Games, Vol. 4 - Kingdom of
Loathing 06/17/2004 07:33 PM

MATT GALLANT -- Today's pickup game is a web game— that is, one implemented entirely through HTML and Javascript that's generated by a lot of clever server-side scripting and database manipulation. It's Kingdom of Loathing, a turn-based RPG. The main focus of the game is humor, with send-ups of popular RPG conventions, as well as internet culture. But unlike a lot of other comical games you can play over the internet, the game underneath the humor is actually very full-featured and has a lot of content. A lot of very funny content.

Abbiecomp LCD ViewMaster: Not What You

Abbiecomp LCD ViewMaster: Not What You
Think 07/22/2004 11:35 AM

Let me say, I was very disappointed to discover that the "LCD ViewMaster" had nothing to do with little red stereoscopic toys, but my ultimate sadness was somewhat mitigated by the fact that the device is actually a robotesque arm (another favorite) for mounting monitors. Crafted from solid aluminum, the adjustable screen mount from Abbiecomp looks like a decent piece of kit, with super-easy positioning options and cable pass-throughs that make uncluttering your actual desktop effortless. In my dream desk setup, I've got dozens of various-sized flat panel monitors suspended from the ceiling and walls and desk by adjustable arms just like these. At around $330 a pop, though, I think this nasty old 19-inch CRT will have to suffice for a little longer.

Update: Reader Bruce Hallberg sends this cool photo of the get-up used to take the 3D pictures for the original ViewMaster toys.

Nick Berg Tops Searches, but Why?

Nick Berg Tops Searches, but Why? 05/14/2004 12:20 PM

Glenn Reynolds notes that searches relating to Nick Berg top the charts at the major search engines, and attributes this to the public cares more about this murder from a news perspective than about U.S. actions in Iraq. Maybe, but maybe not. What if the big number of searches reflect something uglier than people seeking "news" or information. What if this is about a more raw desire, to see the butchery in full just because it's there? The mainstream U.S. media declined to broadcast the actual beheading, and properly so, in my view. But anyone who wants to see it can find it online. I'm one of the people who did the search. I wanted to see how far and wide the video of this man's grotesque death had spread. I learned, to my sadness, that it's incredibly easy to find. This is already a blood-soaked culture, where Hollywood routinely sells movies full of realistic, made-up gore. Maybe we've created a climate where the only thrill that can top movie violence is a genuine snuff film, like the one those foul criminals in Iraq sent out to the world. How many of those searches were done by people who, rather than wanting more truth, more information, were just hunting for the sick thrill of watching death for real?
