05/28/2004 09:32 AM At the Personal Democracy Forum on Monday, Mathew Gross told me about
LJBook, a tool that turns your blog into a printable PDF book. Then
Stephen Fraser of LuLu.com sent me an email recommending LJBook; Lulu
publishes and sells anyone's book. So I gave LJBook a try. It works.
And it's free. It was designed initially for LiveJournal users, but
there's a beta that works with MovableType. You have to entrust it
with your MT name and password (it says it forgets the pwd after 30
mins), but if you're willing, you point it at your MT directory and...

Bush versus Reagan (Iraqi versus
American)
Bush versus Reagan (Iraqi versus
American)
07/17/2004 11:22 AMA friend was complaining about Ronald Reagan yesterday, not
completely mollified by his death. What had Reagan done to
bother her, I asked? She was upset by Reagan's appointments to
the Supreme Court, by his inaction on AIDS, and a variety of
other domestic issues. How could she hate Reagan more than Bush?
"Bush is out there messing up foreign countries instead of our
own."
Despite not having voted for either man, I discovered a strong
personal preference for Reagan over Bush II. Reagan was an
American working on American problems. Maybe he didn't do as
good a job as we would have liked, but at least he was trying.
Bush, on the other hand, projects an image of spending all of his time
and energy thinking about Iraq and Iraqis. The only explanation
that makes sense is that Bush is actually an Iraqi. Who other
than an Iraqi would be so interested in Iraq? When W. is not
talking about Iraq he is often talking about Jesus so probably he is
an Assyrian Christian, one of the groups that lived in Iraq before the
Arab invasion (background<
/A>).
Perhaps Kerry and Edwards have a chance after all because they are
running against a foreigner.
[Note: there is some chance that Bush is Kuwaiti or Saudi
rather than Iraqi. The owners of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia were
badly inconvenienced by Saddam. There was a New York Times
article right after the 1991 Gulf War where they talked about how the
Emir of Kuwait would marry a 13- or 14-year-old girl every Friday
night and then divorce her on Saturday and that this was the kind of
lifestyle that American troops were supporting by giving Kuwait back
to the Emir--you could understand why the Emir, even with $billions
in foreign bank accounts, was so anxious to have his country
back. Still, there were never too many Christians in Kuwait or
Saudi Arabia so evidence points back to W. being an Iraqi]

Professor Terry Fisher's new book is the most serious, comprehensive
treatment of the alternatives we face for protecting copyright in a
digital age. While it's famous for his particular solution, it is most
effective when you see his solution against the background of the
complete set of alternatives that he surveys.
I think this book deserves extremely serious consideration by all who
think seriously about this issue. I've asked Terry to guest blog
during the week of October 24, but I'd encourage people to look at the
book before then. His publisher has permitted him to make only two
chapters available freely. You can find them on his
website. You can also get
the book at
Amazon.

I've signed a deal to do The Long Tail book with Hyperion (in
the US--Random House will be publishing it in the UK and others TBA
elsewhere). I should be turning in the manuscript next fall for a
spring 2006 release. Following John Battelle's great example,
I'm starting The Long Tail blog to help me preview my book thinking
and research in public and to tap the wisdom of crowds on this rich

10th-century Japanese text "The Pillow

07/27/2004 12:25 AMA blogger named
Simon
Cozens is translating the
classic
Japanese text The Pillow Book (Makura no Soshi) by
Sei
Shonagon into English and republishing it as a blog. It's easy to
forget the fact that these words were written in the tenth century,
because the results in this format read -- well, rather like a blog.
Some dates are fictitous, and some liberties have been taken to
produce a coherent narrative stream in blog format -- but the content
is purported to be a faithful translation of the original. Since I
speak neither contemporary nor classical Japanese, I'll have to take
this blogger (or someone wiser)'s word for it. And no, I'm sorry --
Ewan McGregor has nothing
to do with this one.

Book Publishers Selling Direct - Pissing
Off Book Retailers
Book Publishers Selling Direct - Pissing
Off Book Retailers
02/13/2004 05:52 AMOne of the struggles that companies have as distribution and sales
mechanisms change is handling legacy channel conflict issues. Dell
became huge by selling direct to customers, but when rival Compaq
started to move in that direction, their retail partners freaked out -
and Compaq had to scale back their plans. It appears that book
publishers are now going through the same process. They've realized
that if someone is looking for info about certain books on their site,
it makes sense to also offer them a chance to buy it. However, it's
pissing off retailers, who don't
want to hear that their suppliers are competing with them. Retailers
say a reasonable compromise would be having the publishers point to
the retailers, which was my first response as well. However, then it
becomes a political situation of who do you link to and why? There's
also the fact that this makes for a less enjoyable consumer
experience. I know that, more than once, I've been annoyed at online
sites where I go for info on buying a product, but when I try to buy
am given a big list of retailers instead of a way to buy right away.

Boing Boing pal
Scott Beale informs us that our blog just won
Group Weblog of the Year at the
Bloggies. OMG! What a huge honor! Thank you, Bloggies. We honestly
didn't expect this, and we are deeply moved and grateful. There were
many other deserving blogs up for awards, backed by talented folks who
work very hard, and we raise our collective pirate-eye-patches in
their honor:
check 'em all
out. On behalf of my blog-mates
Cory Doctorow,
Mark Frauenfelder, and
David Pescovitz; our wise "band manager"
John Battelle; our sysadmin
par excellence Ken Snider; and the rest of the team and extended
family that makes Boing Boing possible -- a humble thank you. But most
of all, we are grateful to you, our readers, for wasting otherwise
productive time on our collective scrapbook of "wonderful things," and
for pointing us to even more of those wonderful and undiscovered
things each day. We're really sorry that we couldn't make it to
SXSW in person to accept the award,
but we hope you'll join us in celebrating in person tomorrow at
ETCON (
all five of us will be in the same place for the first time).
Boing Boing sprouted online a little over
five years ago, from paper zine roots planted by Mark Frauenfelder
and
Carla
Sinclair. It is a privilege to blog for you. With you, we look
forward to another adventurous year of link-discuss to come.

Update: Holy crap! Reader Nathaneal Heasley
sez, "Not only did BB win best group ‘blog, it won “blog of the
year/best weblog overall†– congratulations!" For those keeping
track, this is the second year in a row Boing Boing has received these
two awards: Link to 2004, Link to 2005. Man. We're
speechless, and overwhelmed by your generosity.

she is dead wrong.
