AudioTechnica ATH-T Series Headphones

AudioTechnica ATH-T Series Headphones 04/08/2005 10:39 AM

AudioTechnica has a number of 40mm headphones coming out, the most impressive of which is the "ATH-T44." At 5,200 yen, the T44s provide a decent frequency response from as low as 18Hz to as high as 23kHz. They have a thing called the "Quick Headband Mechanism" for adjusting their position on your head, by locking them in place after you find a comfortable position, but I'm not sure how this really varies from other headphones. The rest of the specifications are too technical for me.

Sinclair's Folding A-Bike

Sinclair's Folding A-Bike 07/08/2004 08:44 AM

Sir Clive Sinclair, inventor of the pocket calculator and the nigh-on-legendary Sinclair personal computer, has unveiled a new, folding bicycle design he's calling the 'A-Bike.' To be launched in 2005, the 12-pound bike can be folded and unfolded in around 20 seconds and rides on tiny, air-filled tires. The idea is (if it weren't obvious) to provide a cheapish alternative to full-sized bikes that can be folded up and taken with you wherever you go, although the $300 price is considerable more than it would cost to purchase a capable, if basic, street bicycle and chain. Still, I am intrigued. Portable urban transportation is one of my new pet pastimes, and the A-bike would be much easier to recharge than the electric scooters I've been eyeing (they sell pizza almost everywhere). (Thanks, Tim!)

Origami Folding Robot

Origami Folding Robot 12/15/2003 06:55 PM
Devin Balkcom and Matt Mason, working at the CMU Robotics Institute have created the world's first origami folding robot. The robot can fold a variety of traditional origami shapes. While the shapes are simple, the interesting part is that the robot determines the sequences of moves and folds needed on its own. What have they learned from the exercise? "For now, human hardware and software are superior: human fingers are great tools for manipulating delicate paper, and human intuition and intellect far outclass robotic planning capabilities." Devin's website includes a Quicktime video of the robot in action.

Panasonic's Folding Electric Bike

Panasonic's Folding Electric Bike 03/23/2005 04:53 AM

Panasonic has introduced a "folding" electric bicycle. Called the "Off Time," the bike can be folded to fit inside of a car's trunk, go with you on the train, or stashed under your bed for when you need to make a quick getaway. Its lithium-ion battery can drive for about two and a half hours, but I presume that even if it runs out, you can still pedal it like a normal bike.

Shifting time and folding space

Shifting time and folding space 02/01/2005 08:52 PM

Yesterday I drove to a meeting in another state. On the way there and back, my car radio was tuned to no regular broadcast but instead to the pirate radio station in my briefcase. Its components: a $20 Belkin FM transmitter, a $90 Creative Nomad MuVo MP3 player, and do-it-yourself programming. As I drove to my destination, I listened to Shai Agassi's talk at the Accelerating Change Conference, courtesy of ITConversations.com. On the way back, I listened to an audio interview I'd done the day before, reviewing which parts I might want to use in a podcast or weave into an article.

When I got home, I dialed in to a conference call, fired up a WebEx session, and conducted another interview -- in this case, one that featured a demonstration of a software product. I made an audio/video recording of that demo, and, as soon as I get a chance to edit it down to the most interesting parts, I'll share it with you on my blog.

At the end of the day, it struck me that time-shifted content and space-folding telepresence are becoming complementary.

...

Martin Geddes, who blogs thoughtfully at telepocalypse.net about telecommunications and IT, recently asked an important question: "How do telecom and transport substitute [for] or complement one another?"

Geddes argues that although trillions of dollars ride on the answers, we mostly don't have a clue. It's a fascinating essay that I won't try to summarize, but one key point -- the distinction between "travel for sense of presence" and "travel for information exchange" -- is relevant here.

As Geddes notes, we're only now approaching the point at which telecom can sustain credible telepresence. Last weekend, my DSL was upgraded from 384Kbps to 3Mbps, and I can take it to 7Mbps if necessary. At what point does the link carry enough emotional bandwidth to begin displacing travel for sense of presence? I'm not holding my breath. Apple's iChat AV was cool before, and it'll be cooler now, but it's not going to replace face-to-face meetings any time soon.

Meanwhile, three megabits per second sure makes travel for information exchange seem sillier than it already did. Coupled with podcasting, it makes the two kinds of travel nicely complementary. The podcasting model is partly based on the assumption that TiVo-izing your audio content should be a scheduled process. Now that I can download hours of audio in mere seconds, I just grab what I need on the fly.

Shifting time, folding space, juggling atoms and bits -- is this how we want to live and work? Yes! [Full story at InfoWorld.com]

Flowers as speakers

This is sweet: a Japanese amp system that lives in a flowerpot and uses the foliage above to amplify the sound.

Called the "Flower Speaker Amplifiers", the gadget made by Let's Corp is hidden in a vase or a potted plant and sends music at just the right frequency to vibrate up the stems and then be converted into audible sound by the plant as a whole.

Here's one for my foodie French-speaking soon-to-be-or-already-are-in-France friends: Les 100 meilleurs bistrots à moins de 30 €. Note: The link points to ones in Paris, see the sidebar for those outside the Île-de-France. For the non-French speakers out there, it's a list of "The 100 best 30 € and under bistros." I've been to two on the Paris list so far this visit: L'Ami Marcel (which was mentioned in the April 2005 Gourmet article "The Bistro Boom"); and L'Epi Dupin. Both were very good and I'd recommend either for a lovely meal. And see, if I were less lazy, I would have written posts about eating there! As penance, if my dinning companions post about the meals, I promise to make the appropriate links.

Rio Japan Wireless Speakers

Rio Japan Wireless Speakers 12/19/2004 03:01 PM

I think we can all get with wireless connections to our speakers from our portable music players—it's mostly pointless, but potentially handy, what with the ability to switch songs around from your pocket (I tried this for a while with an iPod and an iTrip, until I found myself virtually tethered, always turning to get the best transmission, which sort of defeats the purpose). So these new speakers from Rio Japan are a fine idea, even if the dongle that is designed to plug into the Rio Carbon is almost as big as the player itself. The reflector on the top of the speakers, with the Rio logo silk-screened onto it to float in the air... that's a bit much, really. But wireless is good—this $400 speaker set will surely make some Rio fan very happy.

Stripy Active Speaker System

Stripy Active Speaker System 04/12/2005 11:31 AM

Buzz Style, which has nothing to do with haircuts, will be releasing a rather cool looking "Stripy BZST-01S" 2ch active speaker system. Developed by Hong Kong's "Beans Electronics," the speakers use a fancy joint to connect the speaker to its base, allowing for 180 degrees of rotation. The middle unit is the control unit, where that pink circle thing you see is actually a button (with an LED inside). When you hold this button down for a while, the unit will turn on or off. Worth 19,800 yen? Probably not.

If you're looking for a speaker 02/10/2004 02:47 AM

Ages ago, I created a page listing all the speaking engagements I've done, putting descriptions of each event and links to any presentations I'd prepared. And then I thought I linked to it somewhere on the site. But I guess I didn't, except for a very minor link at the bottom of my resume. Now I've added a "speaking" section to the top of my navigation which sends you to my speaking resume. I'm not sure 'resume' is the right word for this, but I don't know what else to call it. Anyway, if you're looking for a speaker, take a look at it to see if I'm your gal!

In regards to library conferences, TechnoBiblio asks:

" 'Who would you invite to dinner?' in regards to non-librarians that you think have something to say of importance to librarians, but are outside our usual streams of thought? Who do you think could shed light on interesting issues about the future of information? Information standards? Access issues (both accessibility and legal/technological access)? Who is shaping thinking around public sector roles in enlightened ways?

What would your ideal panel be about and who would it include? Once you get it all shaped up - send it off to your local ALA Councilor. At least that is the way that I think the process works, but I am not completely sure - ALA's inner workings still strike me as arcane." [TechnoBiblio]

A Japanese company called Tec has introduced a number of interesting products, and the first two we'll be covering are the "USB Speaker Tower W" and "USB Speaker Cube W." The former is a spiffy looking USB speaker/tower thingy with — get ready — integrated light. Something like this would look quite nice on a desk, presuming it actually puts out enough light.

The "USB Speaker Cube W" is a cube-shaped USB speaker (not subwoofer) with an integrated 4-port USB hub. On the front of the unit are various dials and buttons for controlling volume, bass and treble.

Tec's USB Speaker Tower W will run 4,500 yen, and Speaker Cube 6,825 yen.

House speaker: Soros is a druglord 08/31/2004 10:09 AM
Cory Doctorow: The Republican House Speaker Dennis Hastert has gone on record as suspecting that billionaire currency speculator George Soros (who made his money on currency speculation) is a drug kingpin. Soros funds a lot of progressive causes (including a lot of drug-law and copyright-reform stuff) and has pledged his financial support to overturn the Bush presidency, so this smear is clearly political in nature:

"You know, I don't know where George Soros gets his money. I don't know where -- if it comes overseas or from drug groups or where it comes from," Hastert mused. An astonished Chris Wallace asked: "Excuse me?" The Speaker went on: "Well, that's what he's been for a number years -- George Soros has been for legalizing drugs in this country. So, I mean, he's got a lot of ancillary interests out there." Wallace: "You think he may be getting money from the drug cartel?" Hastert: "I'm saying I don't know where groups - could be people who support this type of thing. I'm saying we don't know."
