Amateur digital photographer R. Todd King has posted a set of
startlingly gorgeous photos of the snow and ice festival in Harbin,
China.
"The temperature in Harbin reaches forty below zero, both
farenheit and centigrade, and stays below freezing nearly half the
year. The city is actually further north than notoriously cold
Vladivostok, Russia, just 300 miles away. So what does one do here
every winter? Hold an outdoor festival, of course! Rather than
suffer the cold, the residents of Harbin celebrate it, with an annual
festival of snow and ice sculptures and competitions. The festival
officially runs from January 5 through February 15, but often opens a
week early and runs into March, since it's usually still cold enough.
This is the amazing sculpture made of snow greeting visitors to the
snow festival in 2003." Link

Frozen seas.
A brief but kind of amazing collection of photos of the deck of a
fishing trauler in fridgid conditions, where every exposed surface has
layers of frozen saltwater accumulated. This condition can cause the
boat to become topheavy and capsize, as well as just plain making life
more miserable for those that work on the deck.

MTV gets cold feet, or does it?

This turns into one of those cases where researching a story gets
weirder. The documentary
Supe
r Size Me centers on a documentary filmmaker's 30 day experience
eating nothing but McDonalds. The film is doing
amazingly well
as a limited release documentary grossing more per screen than
high-budget Troy. Here is the weird part, Reuters has
picked up on a distributor
press release claiming that MTV is refusing to air advertising for
Super Size Me because the film is "disparaging to
fast-food restaurants". The Reuters short seems to have quite a
bit of legs. However a Hollywood Reporter
article details MTVs side of the story placing
the blame on the film's distributor. Is this really a case of a
network getting cold feet? Or is it a case of distributor trying to
pull the "too edgy for MTV" moneymaking ploy? And what is
with the continually morphing Reuters clip that is just now being
tossed onto doorsteps and stuffed into newsboxes across North America?

Cold Winter

06/22/2005 01:56 AM
I got another free product in the mail the other day to review
— a PS2 game called Cold
Winter.
It was rated M (for Mature), but I'm not much of a gamer so I
enlisted my 10-year-old son to play it with me.
It's something of an espionage adventure that starts in a Chinese
prison. You are Andrew Sterling, disavowed secret agent of some kind,
and you have to fight your way out. I gather there's a lot more after
that, but we never found out (keep reading).
Cold Winter earned its M rating: in one of the first cut scenes,
Sterling gets tortured and has his finger bent back until it breaks
(yes, it's as bad as it sounds). Thoughout the rest of the game, when
he's holding a pistol so you can see his hands on the screen, he
flexes his left hand as if it's still stiff from the break however
many months ago. And when you get shot, there's a lot blood.
And...chunks. And then there's the guy who gets killed sitting on the
toilet, and just kind of slumps there. It's not elegant.
Anyway, the storyline didn't hold our interest so much, so we quit
that and just went to two-player mode — you know, Capture the
Flag and all that. It turns out that Cold Winter is a pretty good
first person shooter.
It tends toward the realistic side of combat, rather than the
cinematic. There are a lot of weapons to pick from, and they have
realistic touches: you run really slow while carrying the rocket
launcher (tough to do much but camp), and if you fire anything more
than a short burst from the MP5, the recoil kicks it
up so you're shooting at nothing but air. The controls are good and,
before long, we were running around blowing each other to smithereens
for a couple of hours.
The gas grenades are the best part. You can lob one and seal off
an area with poison gas. Your opponent can only wait until it
dissipates enough to make a run through it (though I'm willing to bet
there's a gas mask in the game somewhere — we were two busy
killing each other to bother looking).
If you get exposed to gas, your vision starts getting blurry and
you may go down for the count, which makes you pretty picky as to
whether you should risk making a run for it. (In fact, you can get
shot in this game, but not die right away — you limp away from a
fire fight only to lose too much blood and go down around the corner
or something.)
There's a poetic joy to trapping your opponent in some alley with a
cloud of poisonous gas, then just firing rocket after rocket blindly
into the cloud until he comes stumbling out.
Later, as we were cycling through the game options to play, we
found an interesting one called "Headmatch." It's like the flag-based
games where you get a point for every second or so you're holding the
flag. Except there's no flag. It's the "decapitated head of an
unknown man." Seriously.
When you start a headmatch, first you have to find the head, which
could be anywhere. So me and the boy are running around the rooftops
of some Morrocan
town, looking for a decapitated head, which was pretty funny,
actually.
He finds it first and yells, "I've got the head! I've got the
head!" I tell him to wait so I can come over to look at it. Then I
tell him to turn around so my guy can crouch down and look under it
while he holds it aloft by its hair.
Then, suddenly, it hit me: I'm the worst parent ever.
Et Cetera: uh, it is way too cold.

One main reason I detest 100% Flash-based sites so much is because
they don't promote sharing and linking which are two big things to do
on the Web. See a cool new game screenshot that you want to show your
friend? Sorry, no can do with that 100% Flash-based site because
everything is contained under one URL which is like a Cold War check
point for the entire site.

04/23/2004 01:32 PMFusion research is generally considered something of a pseudo-science
in some circles as almost every major announcement in the field is
later disproven or made highly questionable when the results weren't
reproducible. However, some researchers won't give up, and some are
saying that, while it may still be early, some of the
experiments are showing reproducible results, suggesting that
there may actually be something to the theories. After so many people
have been burned by cold fusion claims, it makes sense to remain
skeptical for now, but maybe the science isn't as pseudo as some
believed.

Of Cold Fusion And Perfect DRM
04/19/2005 11:06 AMIt's funny how every year or so, some company comes out with a claim
that it has created the
absolute perfect copy
protection system that works perfectly every time, preventing
unauthorized copying, but allowing authorized playback. The latest
such claim comes along with amusing boasts such as its ability to
"wipe out" file sharing. Beyond the fact that most content companies
(despite their claims) don't want to wipe out file sharing, there
simply is no way to make a perfect copy protection system. If the
content needs to be seen, listened to or read, then there will be a
way to make a copy and get it on a file sharing system. It's that
simple. Of course, we're dealing with industries that seem to have no
problems whatsoever in exaggerating claims -- so perhaps it's normal.
Next thing you know, we'll find out that these firms are working on
cold fusion and perpetual motion machines.

The cold war’s darkest secret
The cold war’s darkest secret
01/02/2005 09:23 PM
The death of
Frank Olson on November 28, 1953 was a murder, not a suicide. 2.
This is not an
LSD
drug-experiment story, as it was represented in
1975. This is a
biological warfare story.
Frank
Olson did not die because he was an experimental guinea
pig who experienced a “
bad
trip.” He died because of concern that he would divulge
information concerning a highly classified CIA interrogation program
called “ARTICHOKE” in the early 1950’s, and concerning the use
of biological weapons by the United States in the Korean War.
3. The truth concerning the death of Frank Olson was concealed from
the
Olson family as well as
from the public in 1953. In 1975 a cover story regarding Frank
Olson’s death was disseminated. At the same time a renewed coverup
of the truth concerning this story was being carried out at the
highest levels of government, including the White House. The new
coverup involved the participation of persons serving in the
current
Administration.
