Strange but punk. Green Day and iTunes Music Store
are releasing a special set of CD-Rs pre-imprinted with the logos from
the original CDs, so that you can download their music from iTMS and
burn it onto a proper disc - sound quality aside, no one would be the
wiser.
Wouldn't it be nice if a band were to release their redbook CDs
along with a blank CD-R for copying and giving to your friends? Just
sort of a, "We don't mind if you want to make a copy or two. Thanks
for purchasing." I'm not holding my breath (my blood atenuators do not
require crude meatchanical motion).

12/22/2004 01:26 AMWith Spymac and its members taking a step towards a greener planet we
see "green" issues emerging in all areas in life. The latest domain
to see a trend toward the environment is gaming.
Veggie Games Inc. is an independent studio based in Vancouver, BC that
focuses on creating games that promote kindness and compassion towards
animals and the environment. President and founder, Johnathan
Skinner, "was inspired to use his skill of making video games as a
form of activism... speaking up for the animals that can't speak for
themselves."
With games that teach "people how to respect the environment, the
animals, and each other," Veggie Games can introduce gamers to animal
rights and environmental issues while still being entertained.
The company released the first-ever activism-based animal rights
themed video game, Steer Madness earlier this month. The game
features a cow that rescues lab animals and converts residents of the
city to a vegetarian diet.
Steer Madness, along with others such as Chris Crawford's Macintosh
game, Balance of the Planet, help bring environmental issues and
educational tools to entertainment. According to Richard O. Mann,
"if managing and understanding the delicate balance of the ecological
and economic forces that hold our beloved mother earth together
appeals to you, you're in for hours of fascination" while playing
Balance of the Planet.
Spymac caught up with Veggie Games' Johnathan Skinner to find out more
about the game and the company's role in activism:
How do you think activist video games can change people's actions?
Activist video games can open people's eyes to the reasons someone
would be an activist, and possibly influence decisions they make
surrounding the issues involved.
How does purchasing Steer madness over other games help out the
environment?
The packaging for Steer Madness is a lot less wasteful then most other
video games. The boxes that games come in have no purpose other than
trying to look impressive on store shelves and they end up just
getting thrown away. Steer Madness doesn't come in a box, instead it
comes in a jewel case like a music CD.
When we ship orders for the game that are placed through our website,
we re-use packing materials whenever possible, and all other supplies
are purchased locally using the highest percentage recycled content
available. We are working on setting up an option where you can
purchase a downloadable version of the game that installs directly to
your computer so there won't be any packaging or shipping materials
used at all.
Is this the type of game that would interest children in hopes of
having the omnivores converted?
I don't know if the game alone could cause people to become
vegetarian, but it's definitely a nudge in that direction. If nothing
else it will probably get people to grab a veggie burger a little more
often.
Does Steer Madness promote veganism?
Steer Madness does bring up the reasons behind being vegan, but in a
non-confrontational way. It's a bit like watching a TV show about
vegan activists going about their lives and doing what they do, and if
it says something that speaks to the viewer then they might adapt some
of it into their lifestyle, but if not then it's still great
entertainment.
In what way does this game or your company promote environmental
responsibility?
In Steer Madness the main mode of transportation is by bicycle, and
there is a billboard in the game that reads, "Ride your bike for clean
air." In one mission the main character is shocked and appauled when
he sees his girlfriend in a car, but when he finds out that she's only
borrowing it from a friend and that it's electric then he feels better
about it.
Veggie Games donates a percentage of its profits to organizations that
help protect animals and the environment.

11/07/2003 08:48 AMAndrew Gumbel has an article at The Independent titled, "Infra-red
device gives drivers the green light." Basically, he reports on the
sale (still legal at the moment) of Mobile Infra-Red Transmitters,
little boxes that plug into your car's cigarette lighter, giving you
the power to change (certain) red lights to green. Washington Post
reported on it last Friday. With more Googling, I found out MIRTs
were reported on earlier than Halloween even.

01/17/2004 11:07 PMMan returns from California with stories of fire, wheel: It's very
funny to read this local report about a fellow from the area who was
in California for 10 years working in high tech and returned to his
hometown. Remember that this is local coverage, and the reporter makes
the guy sound like someone who has been to the mountain and returns
with these 15...I mean, 10 commandments. The idea is great, and it's
in the pre-preliminary stages to put in a very inexpensive cloud of
Wi-Fi across downtown Bowling Green. The proposal hasn't been publicly
circulated and sounds full of questions about how to make it go; the
technical issues are not a problem, however. [via a link at GigaOm]...

left at 11:05. We sat at the gate for half an hour watching TV and
listening to the crew crack jokes. It didn't suck.

01/23/2004 08:45 PM More Mars Express images. The German space agency (DLR) has the
biggest and fastest loading set of Mars Express images I've seen so
far. Among them is one which apparently was not part of the press kit
(it hasn't been in any MEX-related report), and is not on the official
ESA site:
This one. It shows the Spirit rover landing site in Gusev
crater -- and the area is covered with a green substance. Olivine or
salt, perhaps. It should be highly interesting to get spectral
readings. [Note: These images are, to my knowledge, near true color
like all other MEX/HRSC photos.]

Beyond the Green Zone
Beyond the Green Zone
05/19/2004 12:11 AMJeff
Jarvis echoes Howard Kurtz's
observation that most U.S. reporters in Iraq aren't daring to
venture outside the Green Zone. Given the chaos there and the danger
of being taken hostage or worse, it's hard to second-guess the
decisions these journalists are making. But there's no question we
won't get the full picture from Iraq this way.
Jarvis suggests we read Iraqi bloggers (and provides a set of links
to them). That's certainly good advice.
But it's also worth pointing out that Salon's coverage from Iraq
was not "embedded" during the invasion and is not embedded in the
Green Zone today. Our correspondent Philli
p Robertson has been courageously, and independently, traveling
the country, offering e
yewitness accounts from the siege of Najaf and Kufa, escaping a
thankfully brief detainment by Moqtada al-Sadr's Al-Mehdi Army, and
providing another angle on the Abu Ghraib abuses.
Phillip is a fine writer and a great observer. If you want to read
reporting that's not hunkered down behind the barricades, here
it is.
