07/11/2004 07:41 PMOutfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War
on Journalism. An amazing documentary about Fox News and the
danger of corporations controlling news. There is a QT and a Wind
ows Media trailer online. There is a New
York Times article about producer Robert Greenwald's
unique method of distributing the documentary, selling the DVD for
distribution through political action groups. Lessig has
some interesting comments about this.

Dear Leo, Dear Mohandas "The longer I live
-- especially now when I clearly feel the approach of death -- the
more I feel moved to express what I feel more strongly than anything
else... the doctrine of the law of love unperverted by sophistries.
Love... the highest and indeed the only law of life".
The Kingdom of God Is Within You (full text available) is
Leo Tolstoy's tractatus of
"
Christianity Not as a Mystic Religion but as a New Theory of Life", a primer
of (among other things) the doctrine of
non-violence. Among the
many
fans of the 1894 book was an
impr
isoned Hindu barrister, a
"half-naked
fakir" if you want, a certain
Mo
handas K.
Gandhi
who was fascinated by
"t
he independent thinking, profound morality, and the
truthfulness" of the
b
ook. So he ended up writing fan letters to the great Russian man:
who warmly wrote back to his young Indian "friend and
brother". The old wise
Christian
anarchist literary
giant and the shy, insecure
young man who sparked a revolution: to paraphrase another
wise,
badly-dressed , pacifist old man,
"Generations to come, it may be, will scarcely believe that such
men ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth."

End of the Animal Kingdom
End of the Animal Kingdom
12/21/2003 01:19 PMIt turns out the wackily ponderous movie made in Pompignan last
year (shooting of which complained about here, brief review by
Herself of hometown showing here) isn’t
going straight to TV after all – we’d heard it was going
to show on Arte sometime around now – it’s been rele
ased in cinemas.
If you’re near a major French city and possessed of nothing
better to do, you can head out see our very own little red-haired kid
in his star turn as “little red-headed kid in
schoolhouse”, Noël the vigneron as “guy in baseball
cap”, the old guy on a bicycle leading his white horse down the
main street as he does every day, lots of purdy haute
garrigue scenery, and much else besides, in a largely
unsatisfying study of longing, sensuality, death and sheep.
It’s not that bad. In many ways it’s like a two-hour
love letter to our little village.

Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom
Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom
01/03/2004 07:20 PMI finally got around to reading Cory Doctorow's novella, "Down and Out in the Magic
Kingdom." It's quite good, and he's got it posted for free on his
Web site (in no less than 17 different formats). You may know
Doctorow know from Boing Boing
fame.
If you've been to the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney
World in Orlando, the book will mean more to you because it
revolves around the park. It's set in a future where bodies are
cloned and if you die, you just restore a clone from backup.
Consequently, you lose everything since your last backup. I have to
admit that I'll never look at backups quite the same way again.
Another central concept (borrowed from blogrolls, perhaps), is
"Whuffie." There is no money in this world, everything is bought by
reputation. The more people like you, the more Whuffie you have, the
more power you have. When you meet someone new, you "ping their
Whuffie," to see if they're worth your time.
The actual plot revolves around The Haunted Mansion at the Magic
Kingdom and the "ad hoc" political groups that have formed to manage
them like little countries. The group managing the Hall of Presidents has designs
on taking over The Haunted Mansion. Intrigue ensues.
It's short — you can put it away in a couple of hours. It's
winning some great sci-fi awards as well. Worth checking
out.

Down and Out in the

Chapters/Indigo editors' picks lists
for best science fiction novels of 2003. Also, it's only three

Pickup Games, Vol. 4 - Kingdom of
Loathing
06/17/2004 07:33 PMMATT GALLANT -- Today's pickup game is
a web game— that is, one implemented entirely through HTML and
Javascript that's generated by a lot of clever server-side scripting
and database manipulation. It's Kingdom of Loathing, a turn-based RPG.
The main focus of the game is humor, with send-ups of popular RPG
conventions, as well as internet culture. But unlike a lot of other
comical games you can play over the internet, the game underneath the
humor is actually very full-featured and has a lot of content. A lot
of very funny content.

"Rance" unmasked as
cartoonist/filmmaker/screenwriter Keith
Thomson?
06/01/2004 04:56 PMDavid Emery, of
About.com's Urban Legends and Folklore department, tells BoingBoing,
"Wanted to let you know that Alex Boese of the Museum of Hoaxes may
well have solved the
Rance mystery with some
good, old-fashioned Net detective work, or at any rate is damn close
to solving it."
Here's a snip from the Museum of Hoaxes post, which -- true or not --
evidences some very thorough sleuthing indeed:
I think Rance is a cartoonist/filmmaker/screenwriter named Keith
Thomson. Here's my reasoning. What immediately struck me about Rance's
weblog was that it attracted a very high number of comments from very
early on. Within two hours after Rance posted his first entry on
December 29, 2003, four people had left comments on his site. Most
weblogs, by contrast, struggle to get anyone to read them, let alone
leave comments. So how was he attracting so many visitors to his site
straight off the bat? What I discovered was that immediately after
Rance posted his first entry on Dec. 29 at 4:49 EST, someone going by
the screen name 'InvaderFromPluto' began posting messages about his
weblog on various fan discussion groups. For instance, at 5:52, about
one hour after Rance had posted his first entry, a message from
InvaderFromPluto appears on Yahoo's thematthewperryplace message
board. It reads:
i read slate reported a famous tv actor keeping a weblog under
pseudonym "rance" at http://captainhoof.tripod.com/blog/ it's hard to
know if it is him, but it might be as it is funny and seems witty in
his sort of way
Obviously Slate hadn't written anything about Rance's weblog. Rance's
weblog, at that time, was only an hour old. So how did
InvaderFromPluto know about Rance's weblog so quickly, and why was he
so interested in promoting it? Perhaps InvaderFromPluto was Rance
himself. Makes sense to me.
