Cory at PenguiCon near Detroit next
weekend 04/16/2005 09:52 AM
Cory Doctorow: Just a reminder that I'll be appearing as the Guest of Honor at PenguiCon, a Linux and Science Fiction convention being held in Detroit next weekend, from April 22-24. I'll be giving talks on I, Robot, copyleft, folk art, open source licensing and open spectrum, and I'll be doing a reading and conducting the charity auction. Other guests include the founders of Slashdot, Eric Raymond, Nat Torkington, Joan Vinge, Kathe Koja, and Joey DeVilla. Link

Cory speaking on Jan 28 in Novato

Cory speaking on Jan 28 in Novato 01/22/2004 02:46 AM
I'm giving a talk ("Copyright, the Web, and Innovation") for the North Bay Multimedia Association on Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2004 from 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM at the Marin Community Foundation in Novato, CA.

There's nothing new about a copyright crisis: the ability to automatically reproduce work has been contentious since the Gutenberg Bible -- and as recently as the mid-Eighties, when the Hollywood studios tried to outlaw the VCR, calling it "the Boston Strangler of the American film-industry."

Is it any wonder that the web, with its ability to move, organize and reproduce information without control or oversight, has precipitated another crisis? Course not.

What is a wonder is that any number of otherwise bright and well-meaning lawmakers, geeks and businesspeople are behaving as though the proper response to a collision between copyright and technology is limits on technology -- imagine if recorded music had been "limited" to ensure that it didn't disrupt the sheet-music business! (It almost was -- and recorded music was only rescued through a Hail Mary act of Congress that legitimized piano rolls in 1908)

Today, the notion that technology should "compromise" with rights-holders is a tremendous threat to the open Web. The recording industry is indiscriminately abusing copyright law to sue 70,000 American file-sharers into submission. The Hollywood companies are getting the FCC to regulate the basic components of the PC.

Detroit Airport Gets Wi-Fi

Detroit Airport Gets Wi-Fi 12/19/2003 07:36 PM
Concourse Communications built a Wi-Fi network in part of Detroit's airport: The network will be free through the end of the holidays and after that will cost $6.95 for daily use. Concourse went through some restructuring a few months ago, and is finally getting caught up on its contracted airports. It's had Detroit under contracts for years, and the three New York/New Jersey airports (JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark) are about to get fully built out as well instead of the partial service now available....

The fabulous ruins of Detroit: "After decades of blight, large swathes of Detroit are being reclaimed by nature. Roughly a third of this 139-square-mile city consists of weed-choked lots and dilapidated buildings . . . rather than fight this return to nature, urban farmers have embraced it, gradually converting 15 acres of idle land into more than 40 community gardens and microfarms — some consuming entire blocks."

Wi-Fi Draws Tenants in Detroit

Wi-Fi Draws Tenants in Detroit 01/19/2004 01:59 PM
An apartment complex in Detroit that draws executives from nearby auto makers has Wi-Fi throughout: Residents who rent furnished apartments--apparently many of them do--get the Internet access for free. The owner of the complex calls Wi-Fi a "deal clincher" for many potential residents. It seems as though the network administrator authorizes users on the network by their MAC addresses. A service provider is also targeting apartment buildings in Washington, D.C. For new or old construction, Wi-Fi offers a much easier way for building owners to offer Internet access than stringing cable throughout the building....

How nuts is it that Cory' s book was reviewed by Jeff Bezos and Harriet Klausner, Amazon's #1 reviewer? And speaking of, how on earth does someone review 4605 products (almost all books) in just a few years? I'm seeing 4-5 lengthy book reviews per day in some of her history, how on earth does someone do such a thing?

Joi and Cory live in the future and have the cameras to prove it. Joi also had an amazing japanese cell phone that featured two cameras hidden inside it. He could switch between shooting from the back of it, to the front of it (taking a photo of yourself using it).

I wish I recorded some audio during lunch as there was an almost magical symphony of forks hitting plates that created a strange cacophony the speakers had to outdo.

I have a special request to the toolmakers of 2004: stop making tools that magnify and multilply awkward social situations An important note for 2004: stop trying to build an Internet without malefactors, parasites, freeriders and inefficiency. See you next year, Cory. Or, more accurately: If you're Cory and you're reading this, then it is net year....

AP - Though the Detroit Pistons forced the Los Angeles Lakers to play ugly basketball, Shaquille O'Neal still looked awfully good in the first two quarters of the NBA Finals. O'Neal had 20 points and six rebounds, and Los Angeles took a 41-40 lead over Detroit after the first half of Game 1 on Sunday night.

Urban farmers reclaim Detroit

Urban farmers reclaim Detroit 12/11/2003 09:39 AM
In Detroit, urban farmers, frustrated with buying their groceries at Party Stores now that the grocery chains have largely pulled out of the city, have begun to reclaim Detroit's vast empty spaces for grow-your-own operations, complete with livestock and tractors.

After decades of blight, large swathes of Detroit are being reclaimed by nature. Roughly a third of this 139-square-mile city consists of weed-choked lots and dilapidated buildings. Satellite images show an urban core giving way to an urban prairie.

Rather than fight this return to nature, Mr. Weertz and other urban farmers have embraced it, gradually converting 15 acres of idle land into more than 40 community gardens and microfarms — some consuming entire blocks.
