Hating Dick Cheney 08/14/2004 02:29 AM
Hating Dick Cheney - Our vice president is so widely hated as being an evil puppeteer, but this seems to be far from the truth. He's really "a frazzled, heart attack survivor who's barely hanging on—to life, his job, his position, his sense of self-esteem."

People Deleting MP3s, Sharing Less...
But Hating The Recording Industry More 11/05/2003 01:14 PM
A new study has come out saying that, thanks to the RIAA suing everyone they can find, many people are deleting mp3s from their hard drives and using file sharing programs less. However, they also have a lower and lower opinion of the recording industry. That's all well and good, but for as much as they hate the recording industry, if they're still going out and buying the same major label music, the recording industry doesn't really care. This is, of course, short sighted, because that hatred of the recording industry means that they're probably willing to jump ship should a reasonable alternative show up. In the meantime, though, the RIAA will declare this as a victory.

Time for loving

Time for loving 09/17/2004 02:38 AM

I can't believe how much I love FuzzyClock. If you've never heard of it, it's a simple app that puts the current time into natural language. So instead of 2:53 it will say "ten til three." At first I thought the lack of accuracy could be a problem, but I've got lots of meetings and have never been late (just wait until it says "shortly before eleven" and you'll be on time for it). Here is what it looks like on my current menu bar (also running: audioscrobbler, slimbattery, and instiki).

On the surface, it simply saves you a half-second of converting the numbers 3:41 into "about twenty to four" in your head, but in practice it removes a small mental tax you put yourself through dozens-to-over-a-hundred times per day. After months of running this app in place of the standard clock (I disabled it in my OS prefs and run fuzzyclock on startup), I feel liberated in a small way. I've spent my life surrounded by clocks and never realized how much easier it is to read "half past twelve" than reading numbers.

Last week, I noticed Flickr does timestamps on comments this way, which is a great idea and something I should really do at metafilter. Someone's already written a function for it in PHP, I'm sure it'll be a MT plugin soon, if it isn't already.

Loving iLife

Loving iLife 03/06/2004 01:55 AM
Reviewing iLife ’04, Matthew Fordahl writes for Associated Press, “For me, the suite would be a bargain even at twice the price. Its newest addition is an addictive music-creation program. Called GarageBand, it is simple enough for those of us who’ve never touched a keyboard or strummed a guitar yet advanced enough to appeal to a polished practitioner.” [Mar 1]

Loving the Mambo

Loving the Mambo 05/28/2004 06:38 PM
Submission by David Shamoon Two thumbs up for Mambo. I'm experienced with a few different CMSs and decided to try Mambo because I was building a site on a site that had a lot of limitations (one database and no access to the php.ini). What a relief it was to use. Finally something that breaks the Nuke mold. It’s really slick and easy to hand off to non-technical people. You don’t have to disable a lot of features that you’ll never use.

Loving Norah Jones

Loving Norah Jones 01/16/2004 01:02 PM

I tend to listen to same songs over and over with my eyes half-closed.  Many of the songs I am enjoying of late are Norah Jones songs.  She sings very well but I enjoy her songs because they are easy to sing.  Here are some of her songs I like:

• Come Away with Me (sleepy seduction)
• Don't Know Why (fast moody jog)
• Lonestar (best on horseback)
• One Flight Down (slow moody swaying)
• Shoot the Moon (excellent guitar!)
• Cold Cold Heart (nice rythm)

If you haven't discovered Norah Jones yet, check her out.

I am being forced to watch the Finnish qualification for the Eurovision Song Contest. Dear Lord. This is like watching Idols - the first few rounds. You know, the ones with the acne-faced idiots who actually think they can sing?

Well. The only difference that I can see here is that all of the singers are pretty (and red-haired), and that the songs are new. But why, oh why, do we continue to embarrass ourselves by thinking that someone in Europe would actually be interested in this crap? And why do we keep thinking that we have to do well in this stupid contest to be accepted? Well, now they at least have songs performed by a Norwegian, in English, written by a bunch of people none of have a Finnish name...

Who the fuck thinks of lyrics like "mouse in the misery - cheese in his memory"? WHAAAT!?! And they have one of the people from the Swedish Survivors performing, too! And someone, please kill the bloody hosts! "Du gick en pojkvän där? That was Swedish. Heheheheh." This is would be damn near intolerable, if I wasn't laughing my ass off...

Well, luckily there are few songs 16 year old Lagavulin and good company can't improve. ;-)

(OK, I'll have to give it to one performer: she can actually sing, pronounce English and look pretty at the same time. Something which seems to be very difficult for the rest of the performers.)

EFF reviews freedom-loving MacOS
high-def TV toy 01/05/2005 07:09 PM
Cory Doctorow: With only half a year left until the FCC criminalizes watching television without DRM (thanks to the loathsome Broadcast Flag), it's time to start stocking up on open hardware that can tune, record and manipulate digital TV signals without Hollywood's irrational, paranoid shackles.

If you've got a Mac, that means scoring one of El Gato's new EyeTV 500s, a device that can move digital TV shows form your rabbit ears or your cable wire to your Mac in glorious high-def, as plan-jane MPEGs that you can manipulate, share, rip, mix and burn till the cows come home.

My cow-orker Fred von Lohmann, EFF's Senior Intellectual Property Lawyer, is also a certified hi-fi nut, gearhead, and gadget freak. He scored a review-unit of the EyeTV 500 and wrote up a review of its freedom-enhancing capabilities.

As a demo of those capabilities, EFF is hosting a five minute high-def clip from Fellowship of the Rings (Torrent Link), which occupies a thunderous 500MB of hard-drive (!). The studios argued that the Broadcast Flag was necessary to keep viewers from sharing high-def movies over the Internet -- at 500MB per five minutes, that seems a little far-fetched.

The tiny silver lining here is that if you can get an open, freedom-loving digital television tuner between now and the summer, you'll be able to go on doing practically anything you like with the digital television you receive over the air and with your unencrypted cable signal. If you choose to do this by plugging a DTV tuner into your computer, you'll be able to archive your shows on your hard-drive, manipulate them with your favorite editing software, and email clips to your friends.

LOVING MORE
THAN ONE

LOVING MORE
THAN ONE 05/06/2004 11:39 AM

When I agreed to publish Glenn Parton's essay Love Politics on this blog last week, I warned Glenn to expect a firestorm of response. While I was very intrigued by the ideas in the essay, I was disturbed by the way he broached some of these ideas. Several respondents have complained about the essay, with the loudest criticism being about his overromanticizing of the 'free love' movement of the 1960s (which Glenn and I both grew up during), his apparent misogynism and homophobia, and his preoccupation with the sexual aspects of relationships over the emotional ones. I will confess that I share readers' concerns on all these scores. At the same time, I believe the underlying message of Glenn's essay is fundamentally valid, and extremely important. Rather than debate the concerns, I'd prefer to try to restate what I learned from the essay, hopefully in a less provocative way than Glenn's, and focus the debate on the core ideas and their implications: Our society, our civilization, morally permits each of us to love, passionately and without limit, only one other person. If we violate this moral rule, we are called 'unfaithful', and this is considered a sin, fully justifying jealousy by the first person we loved. If this love manifests itself sexually, it is called 'adultery' and is illegal as well as immoral. People who do love more than one person, passionately and without limit, are demonized and shunned in our society. This limitation of permission to love is unnatural, and renders us psychologically ill, stunted, and repressed. This psychological illness manifests itself in anger, violence, hatred, neglect of others, depression, withdrawal, lack of emotional resilience, self-loathing, disconnection from our senses and from the Earth, and emotional detachment, emotional retardation, emotional isolation, emotional shallowness and emotional immaturity. In psychologists' terms it makes us neurotic and psychopathic. This is not inconsistent with Prescott's thesis that human violence stems from a combination of neglect or abuse in early childhood, and sexual repression as we grow older. Our political and economic systems promote and perpetuate this emotional trauma because it weakens and divides us, makes us politically meek, intellectually lazy and emotionally disconnected from our true wants and needs, and hence more malleable as passive students, workers, and consumers of commercial products and political rhetoric, all against our better interests. This emotional 'closing-off' is entrenched and reinforced by our society's, our civilization's, indoctrination of the absolute need and reverence for private, restricted property. Land and chattels 'belong' to a nuclear one-male, one-female family unit, we are repeatedly told that they are what, along with 'exclusive' love, gives that family unit substance, value and meaning, and in turn, the emotionally co-dependent spouses in the nuclear family 'belong' absolutely to each other ("til death do them part"), and the children 'belong' absolutely to the parents until they are "given away" in marriage and enter into a new, limited, co-dependent relationship. Homosexuality is abhorred because it doesn't 'fit' this model. As a consequence, the community is destroyed in favour of the isolated, helpless, insecure, competitive, self-interested family unit and the all-powerful corporatist State. Our co-dependence on our exclusive partner and our dependence on the corporatist State are thus deepened, an inescapable emotional, economic and political prison. Our ability to love and be loved is unlimited. It is a gift that grows and seeds itself and is enriched when it is reciprocated. There is no such thing as too much love, and until civilization imposed its brutal restrictions, it 'cost' nothing. It is liberating, and arguably the true source of life's meaning. So what does this all mean? If you can accept these six Principles About Love, what are their implications? What does this tell us about how we should live? I think it's safe to say that this kind of emotional openness would only work in a community whose members were self-selected, and where there was substantial trust among the members. That describes lots of tribal cultures, but in our culture, only communes even come close. My guess would be that most communes have failed either because they tried to live idealistically, completely cut off from the rest of civilization (instead of taking the best technologies and the best aspects of modern society and melding them with the best of communal life), or they lived on the periphery of civilization and didn't know enough about business and economics to operate successfully 'partly within the system'. And many communes were pretty liberal at allowing new members and visitors in without limits, which would certainly strain trust. The new terms Intentional Community and Bioregional Community are similar to, though somewhat broader than, 'commune', but they are vulnerable to the same failings. With the right mix of pragmatism, economic and business understanding, and rigorous review and unanimous approval of new members, however, there is no reason why these types of community shouldn't work well, and they would provide a perfect laboratory for the kind of emotional openness that Glenn espouses. Glenn makes a point of saying he is not advocating promiscuity or a culture that compels the acceptance of unwanted, coercive emotional or sexual advances. What he is saying is that people in a trusting community should be free to love, passionately and without limit, more than one person, and to express that love in any way that is mutually agreed upon, and that such love should in no way diminish the love that either partner feels and expresses for others in the community. He is saying that exclusive pairing is not 'hard wired' into us, and that we could learn to permit ourselves, and those we love, to develop deep, guilt-free, jealousy-free, loving relationships with many people within a trusted community. And he is saying that if we could allow ourselves that freedom we would be happier, more peaceful, more respectful, more attentive, more optimistic, more connected with each other, our senses and the Earth, more emotionally resilient, self-loving, emotionally balanced, more feeling, and more emotionally mature. And with that emotional health would come the clarity, strength, and vision needed to tackle and overcome many of the intractable problems that bedevil civilization. I think this makes a lot of sense. I don't believe we need this kind of emotional liberation to save the world, but I don't think it would hurt. If you didn't get this from Glenn's essay, this may be due more to my imagining of what he meant than your misunderstanding. As Daniel Dennett says "On any important topic, we tend to have a rough idea of what we believe to be true, and when an author writes the words we want to read, we tend to fall for it, no matter how shoddy the arguments." And I expect that Glenn will weigh in himself on what he really meant. But now that I've delineated what I got out of his essay, and why I think his basic idea is very sensible and very important, I'd be interested in your thoughts. Naive? Idealistic? Wrong-headed? Insensitive? Or is there something here that bears closer scrutiny, and maybe a real-world trial?

This administration is so utterly dishonest, and our current press corps so disgustingly subserviant that I really don't care how bad an FPP this is. Krugman doesn't lie no matter what that idiot Donald Luskin says. Someone point me to a real, honest, defensible source that says Krugman's utter destruction of just about everything Bush is wrong. In my opinion, he along with Bob Somerby are lonely voices in a vast wilderness. Blah blah blah, liberal mefi crap blah blah blah
