Green Day CD-Rs 09/24/2004 09:55 AM

greendayitmscdr.jpg imageStrange 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).

Green games


Green games 12/22/2004 01:26 AM
With 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.

Andrew 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.

Man 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]...

Had my first JetBlue experience flying from JFK to BVT yesterday evening, aboard a packed A320 that was late departing because they waited for passengers. Scheduled departure was 10:30, but the plane 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.

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 AM
Jeff 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.
