Total Immersions has an "augmented reality" tool called D'Fusion
Technology, as demonstrated in the Windows Media (ugh) video-stream
(ugh) linked from the page below. It's pretty stunning: real people
and objects are captured with video cameras and then three-dimensional
virtual objects are seamlessly matted in, so that the demonstrator
appears to be holding a bouquet of flowers that turns into a
lightsaber, then a helicopter flies over the audience, etc. The gaming
applications are pretty rad -- think of EyeToy with about a thousand
times more granularity and interaction.

08/22/2004 03:21 PMCory Doctorow: Pablos sez, "This
I Love Bees thing seems to be
getting out of hand. It is some kind of massive alternate reality
game that may be related to Halo 2. The site has been counting down
to August 24th and now it looks like it is heading into meatspace.
Now there are all these
GPS
coordinates where people are planning to go to
all
over the U.S. on Tuesday. There's all kinds of speculation about
it on
these
forums and in #beekeepers on irc.chat-solutions.org. Anyway, the
gargantuan scale of this thing makes me want to check it out if only
for the bizarre flashmob appeal."

Thanks, Pablos!)

A few folks in New
Zealand have developed the next natural evolution of an old children's
staple: the bedtime story. The book reads like a normal book, if
desired, but when accompanied with a handheld (or head-based) display
and computer vision tracking technology, the story comes to life in
front of them. In another example of augmented reality bringing us
really cool stuff, the director of the lab working on the project
tells us "You can see animated virtual characters overlaid on the real
book pages and hear the voice of [the narrator] reading the story."
Technology Review's article explains what's keeping this technology
from coming to market, at least for now, and when we might see it
outside of the lab setting.

08/16/2004 04:09 PMTCO or "Total Cost of Ownership" is a notion that one can calculate
(with some accuracy) the complete cost of owning something, including
all the weird side effects of acquiring and owning that thing. For
example, I can by a new 3.2GHz notebook for $2,000 and it comes with
Windows XP. But odds are that I'll spend 20 hours in the first year
dealing with device drivers, spyware, and viruses. If I value my time
at $50/hour, then the total...

If I had the time, and the money, I'd do the deep analysis that it
would take to explain to myself why it is I constantly hope to be
surprised by Mr. Gates. Yet I never am. Here's
BoingBoing reporting the
red-baiting of Mr. Gates.
It's one thing to read this sort of thing from a studio exec, or head
of a record label -- surrounded as they are by the sort that surround
them. But the people I've met at Microsoft are miles beyond this sort
of silliness. Does Mr. Gates not even talk to them?

Total Music Honesty
12/17/2004 06:33 PMThis meme from
Erik:
The Playlist Meme
- Open up the music player on your computer.
- Set it to play your entire music collection.
- Hit the "shuffle" command.
- Tell us the title of the next ten songs that show up (with their
musicians), no matter how embarrassing. That's right, no skipping that
Carpenters tune that will totally destroy your hip credibility. It's
time for total musical honesty. Write it up in your blog or journal
and link back to at least a couple of the other sites where you saw
this.
- If you get the same artist twice, you may skip the second (or
third, or etc.) occurances. You don't have to, but since randomness
could mean you end up with a list of ten song with five artists, you
can if you'd like.
Here's my list:
- CMX: Ruoste
- Irwin Goodman: Haistakaa paska koko valtiovalta
- U2: The Star Spangled Banner
- Schiller: Glück und Erfüllung
- Maria Kalaniemi & Algardaz: Huuma (Los Mareados)
- Edu Kettunen: Polkan transsi
- Fairground Attraction: Perfect
- Frankie Valli: Grease
- Nylon Beat: Love and Hate
- Leevi and the Leavings: Vasara ja nauloja

How To Comply With A Total Failure
How To Comply With A Total Failure
01/23/2004 02:23 PMThere was a conference yesterday all about the CAN-SPAM law, where
speakers took turns either
bashing the
law for being a total failure - or telling people how to comply with
it. Of course, for the most part, the people looking to comply
with it, aren't spammers - but companies that already send out emails
and are suddenly afraid that they're going to get in trouble. The
article also mentions (thankfully!) that just because you comply with
CAN-SPAM it doesn't mean you should spam people. Though, the
reasoning presented was a little suspect. They point out that if
Nordstrom's spammed people, all anti-spam programs would block them
and they would have killed off email as a marketing channel. That's
true. However, a much better point would have been that if they had
gone and spammed people, many people would be incredibly pissed off at
Nordstrom's - and, generally speaking, pissing off everyone you're
trying to market to isn't the greatest technique for building a
sustainable business. In the meantime, the FTC still won't say what
they're doing to enforce CAN SPAM, and my spam count keeps going up.
A total French spazz!
A total French spazz!
06/05/2005 11:56 PMIf you've met me in person, you know I'm quite the gesticulator
when I speak. And I also have a strange tendency -- which my brother
has as well, so I can only imagine it's something we developed as
children -- to make sound effects to accompany my actions. For
example, if you and I are walking towards each other in a narrow
hallway, and I skirt to the side to avoid a collision, I will also
utter, "yurreeek," or some sound to approximate a skid and/or close
call.
While in Paris, I added a whistle to my communication style to
indicate something that I didn't have the vocabulary to express in
French. For example, I'd be saying, "And then I went..." and with my
hand I'll make an up-and-down-and-over-the-hill motion, and I'd make a
long whistle sound to accompany it. Or if I wanted to say, "He had to
go," I'd simply say, "He" and then shoot my hand out to the right and
make a short whistle sound.
While this was very effective in making myself understood when
French failed me, I've discovered it's permeated my English
interactions as well! So now I'm eeking and whistling not matter who
I'm talking to or what I'm saying. Truly I'm becoming a human beat
box. Or a crazy lunatic. You decide.
Total Annihilation Redux
Total Annihilation Redux
06/22/2004 01:26 AMI was in the store the other day, looking for a new computer game in
the less than ten dollar range. I stop in every once in a while to see
which old favorites now had cheap jewel case versions. This month I
got very lucky and found a copy of Total Annihilation for six dollars.
Sure, the game is now seven years old, but it is still a classic
in the RTS (Real Time Strategy) genre. I've gotten burned out on
Galactic Battleground and Age of Empires II lately, which are the same
for the most part, except for different graphics. Total Annihilation
was a leap forward in the RTS evolutionary chain.
