Play me some music.

Contest to produce in-game book based on
Cory's next novel
Contest to produce in-game book based on
Cory's next novel
03/29/2005 02:13 AMCory Doctorow:
When my next novel
Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town comes out this
July, I'm going to do an in-game signing and talk in Second Life, the
massively mutiplayer online world (I did this before, for
Down and Out in the Magic
Kingdom, and it was really fun!).
To commemorate the event, Second Life's Wagner James Au is
coordinating an in-game contest to design a virtual book based on the
text of the novel, a digital 3D object wiht turn-able pages, etc. I
really hope that what they end up building is more than a simple 3D
version of a meatspace book, though: electronic text is so much more
protean than printed words, so it would be a shame to constrain it to
behaving the way that dumb matter does.
...[F]or the next couple months, in preparation for Cory's appearance,
Residents will be creating book prototypes, and submitting them to me
for an in-world expo, so the community can choose which one provides
the best in-world reading experience. Within 48 hours of the
announcement, one Resident had already submitted a screenshot of his
own prototype (bottom screenshot), which sharp-eyed readers will
recognize as the opening page to Doctorow's Down and Out in the Magic
Kingdom, the novel he discussed with Residents at the first Book Club.
The one to win the most votes at the Expo will get the honor of
publishing Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town in Second Life.
(Though of course, my personal hope is that this also helps launch a
mini-explosion of virtual book technology in-world.)

In The Leak, an agent is shown infiltrating the Spymac headquarters.
His secretive and powerful connections have tipped him off to Spymac
3's administrator login information, but security personnel discover
the leak just as crucial information is to be transmitted, forcing the
double agent and his directors to wait until January 2004 for further
information. View the trailer at Spymac3.com [Discuss]

12/28/2004 11:39 AMMerry Christmas, Spymac!
Merry Christmas, Spymac!
12/25/2004 05:20 PMOn Spymac this Christmas,
Forums are littered with missed gifts,
Bamboozled, glossed-over wish lists
With iPod minis and iTrips.
For some, the tunes will be rocking,
For others, megahertz clocking
But what of all of those stockings
With neither socks nor a dock nor
The shocking bow-wrapped black box
With a Power Mac peeking out from
Under out of a bounty of wound-up frowns
Not an ounce of astoundment, wow or surprise
Decline in all shapes and sizes,
Stifled cries and replies
Of, “Oh, that’s not the right size?
Should it have been bigger?
White? Pink, blue or green?
Did you want the red click wheel
Or the new color screen?”
It seems the holiday spirit
Has gone the way of the Cube
It’s presents now that we care about
Instead of renewing
The vows
of tradition and family
and love we hold dear,
having replaced what were tidings
with an endless frontier
Of wrapping and ribbon
And piles of debt,
After two months of sweat
There’s no time for regret,
It’s Christmas, so let it
Be, lest we forget it,
If you got the wrong iPod
There’s always Apple Store credit.
Merry Christmas, from the Spymac News Team

Spymac speculation: the 5GB iPod
12/02/2003 03:04 AMWhen a company is leading a saturated market by several percentage
points with a $299 low-end model, most would say there’s little room
for improvement. With accolades galore, a corporation enjoying such a
position could indeed rest until the gap closes, only to scramble once
the competition catches on. Indeed… but those other companies don’t
have Steve Jobs as a CEO.
