My favorite webl0gs of 2004

My favorite webl0gs of 2004 12/26/2004 07:03 PM

I love lists, especially those end of the year ones. Following Rex's lead, here are some of my favorite weblogs from 2004. (Note: This list is not objective. I'm not surveying the entire landscape of weblogs and picking the best ones, just choosing my favorites from among those I follow on a somewhat regular basis.)

12. Mr Sun! - The funniest celestial object in the blogoverse.

11. Collision Detection - Clive's got some writing chops -- he's a professional journalist -- but his enthusiasm for the subject matter is what I look forward to when clicking through his site.

10. Gothamist - As Jen's posting frequency has decreased (that she kept that pace for so long is amazing), the site has become a little aimless, but it's still worth a few daily visits.

9. Dooce - Heather can (and does) talk about anything and make it funny. Despite several challenging episodes in her life over the past couple of years, Dooce is still going strong and from what I can tell, keeps getting better. One small request though: TONE DOWN THE ALL CAPS SHOUTING. Please?

8. Slower - Except for the celebrity photos, which he posts specifically to irritate me, Eliot's work somehow gets better with each visit. Well, I don't much like all the people photos he's been posting recently. On second thought, maybe I should reconsider...

7. Anil Dash - His professional duties for Six Apart has resulted in a substantial decrease in volume on his site, but Anil was a must-visit for me in the first half of the year.

6. My del.icio.us inbox - Josh, I know you're hurting, but hook me up...I need my del.icio.us inbox back!

5. Gulfstream - The best weblog that you don't read. Michael updates somewhat irregularly, but every single link he posts is gold.

4. Boing Boing - Cory's the engine that makes BB run...when he's posting regularly, the site shines.

3. Waxy.org - One of the best edited sites on the web. Andy highlights so much interesting stuff.

2. The Morning News - Apologies to Rosecrans and Andrew for including TMN in this list of weblogs, but the site's too good not to mention because of semantics.

1. Photos from my Flickr friends - Flickr is the most fun on the web right now. Period. It's the closest thing I've experienced online to hanging out with your friends at the coffeeshop. (Note: your Flickr friends page looks different when you're logged in and is a lot more useful.)

And a special mention...

0. Kottke.org - Oh man, am I gonna get mail about this one...the nerve! But I really enjoyed doing my site this year and I've already told you this isn't really a "best of" list. Earlier in the year, I was thinking about quitting entirely and the site's been a little, uh, crappy the last couple of months (if you haven't noticed, you're not paying enough attention...wake up out there!), but other than that, the site's been really good to me. Thanks for reading, your emails, your comments, and for indulging me. Expect good things next year.

Concerts A Go-Go

Concerts A Go-Go 04/29/2004 11:11 PM
See a Concert, then Copy It onto Your USB Drive

"Yeah, getting a CD of the show you just saw is fine and all, but putting that to shame (at least from a gadget nerd’s perspective), New Jersey indie rock club Maxwell’s is installing new digital kiosks that will let you download shows directly to one of those USB keychain drives. Shows cost $10 each, with an extra $20 for the 128MB drive, and we’re assuming that you can use your own drive if you have one. And what’s even better is that they’re using unrestricted MP3 files, so you can just take the drive home with you, pop it into your computer, and copy the show onto your iPod — or share it with your friends. [Via TechDirt]" [Engadget]

I love this idea! I went to a show at the Park West earlier this month, and after the show I asked the sound guy if they were selling a recording of it. He looked pretty confused by the question, so I'm guessing this concept is still a ways out of the Chicagoland area. One can hope for the future, though....

More Bands Putting Concerts Online

More Bands Putting Concerts Online 01/22/2004 06:28 AM
We've talked about bands like Phish and Pearl Jam experimenting with offering recordings of their live shows to fans online, and it appears that plenty of other musicians are signing up to do the same thing. There are a couple of interesting angles on this one. First, it's a way for the bands to (mostly) cut out the recording industry middlemen they have to deal with most of the time. Live shows are how bands usually connect with fans, and this opens up those shows to a much wider audience. At the same time, many of the bands are choosing to offer these concert recordings without any copy protection - and they're selling like crazy. There's a great quote in the article from Brad Serling, who runs the site that many of these bands are using: "The No. 1 issue that most of the music industry has wrong is D.R.M. Why make it harder for people to buy your product? The answer is fear, and you have to get over the fear. What would you do if you walked into Tower Records to buy the new Dave Matthews Band CD and the guy behind the counter said: 'Here's your CD. It's $18, but you can only listen to it in your den on one stereo. You can't take it to the car. You can't put it on your iPod.' You would laugh at him and walk out, right? It's the same thing here." Offer something to people that they want, and you'll be amazed at what they're willing to pay for.

Club Selling USB Drives With Concerts
Immediately After Show

Club Selling USB Drives With Concerts
Immediately After Show 04/29/2004 03:41 AM
Bootlegging concerts has been around for ages. People would bring tape players to shows and record them. Certain bands appreciated, or even encouraged such recordings - with some even allowing fans to patch into the sound board. These days, that all seems so last millennium. Bands have already started recording their own shows and offering to sell the CDs or downloads immediately afterwards. Now eMusic is trying to go a step further and is actually setting up kiosks where you can immed iately download the concert you just saw in MP3 format onto a USB keychain hard drive. They say that selling CDs isn't worth it since people just go home and rip the CDs to MP3 anyway, they might as well give the music out in MP3 format. In fact, they encourage people to then go and share the MP3s, pointing out that it's often smaller, independent bands who will play these shows, and they want the promotion (once again proving the RIAA's stance to be incorrect). The whole thing costs $30 total: $20 for the USB hard drive and $10 for the music. It's unclear if you can bring your own USB hard drive (or reuse old ones) to avoid that charge, but it seems likely. Of course, the one big downside I see with all of this is that the kiosks are bound to be a bottleneck. If you have a few hundred people packed into the club, and just 10% of them want to buy the keychains, that's probably a long wait in line. Why not just put the concerts online and let anyone download them?

"Michael Lohman is sick" read the email to students in MAT 308: Theory of Games, explaining why the Princeton mathematics graduate student had not yet graded their homework. Not sick as in "flu"-sick, but sick as in "squirting his bodily fluids into unsuspecting women's drinks and cutting off locks of their hair for unspeakable acts involving mittens"-sick. And not just any women, but exclusively Asian women. An extreme case, to be sure, but the Western"ota ku" lusting after (and often having much success with) Asian women is a quite familiar and often disturbing< /a> trope for those of us who have spent much time among the disaffected English majors, anime fans, martial artists, dirty old men, and various other Asiaphiles. Yet decidedly non-nerdy folks have expressed a definite preference for Asian women as well. Where does this preference (which certainly goes both ways) come from? As such interracial couplings increase, should we even try to distinguish relationships based on "Suzie Wong" stereotypes or even outright economic exploitation, and relationships that are somehow more "acceptable?" Or will non-Asian guys with Asian girls constantly be forced to prove it's not just a case of "Yellow Fever?"

My favorite applications 09/09/2004 03:27 AM

When I was at Linz, a bunch of people made me provide a list of all of the applications that I'm running on my Mac. I realize I do this to people too. I've seen people make lists of their favorite applications on their blogs, but I realized that it might be better to do on a wiki. I've made a list of my favorite applications. Feel free to click on any of the application links and comment on the page for the application. Also, feel free to make a similar page for yourself and list YOUR favorite applications. If we can get a bunch of people on the wiki with their lists, it might end up being an interesting resource.

Is there something like this elsewhere already?

Marc's additions......

I'd add these other political films:

Citizen Kane
The Harold Washington Story (never produced)
De Mayr (never produced.....)

I'd suggest using Mike Royko's book "Boss Richard J. Daley" as the basis of a script for "Da Mayr". I was 25 before I ever knew a different mayor in Chicago, besides old Dick Daley. He defined old school politics.

PC World, 1990

"Last night I spent some time reading an issue of PC World magazine from September, 1990....

Just a few of the many interesting things in this issue:

• News: Lotus Sues Borland (I was actually hired as an expert witness in that case, but it never went to trial).
• Microsoft Ad: $50 upgrade to Windows 3.0!
• Ad for Gateway 2000: Fully loaded 25 Mhz 486, 4 Meg RAM, 150 Meg hard drive, VGA: $5,295.
• Funk Software ad: Sideways, print your 1-2-3 spreadsheets sideways on your dot matrix printer (remember that?)
• News item: Symantec/Norton Merger Refocuses Utility Wars.
• Excel tip: Save a group of related files by using File - Save Workspace. This tip still works today!
• Ad for GEnie (an online service). It cost $6.00 per hour at 1200 baud non-prime time.
• Ad for Software Carousel, a task-switching environment for DOS. "Use the software you already own - 1-2-3, WordPerfect, dBASE, Sidekick." I used to love that program." [J-Walk Blog]
