Dead pixels instead of dead trees

Dead pixels instead of dead trees 12/22/2004 01:49 AM

I love books, I love browsing stacks, I love libraries, I love Powell's in Portland, I like collecting books, I always have a stack nearby to read, I love looking through picture books, and I love books even though I didn't really become much of a reader until the end of my college years (I never read for fun until then). Plunging into the Internet fed my book addiction further, as I had to read dozens of computer classics to get up to speed and stay ahead of the curve. Every computer desk I've had until recently was flanked by bookshelves loaded with titles.

Earlier this year, I remember hearing Cory Doctorow give a talk about how ebooks were going to rule the world and folks would abandon the printed page for the laptop screen. I thought it was a good talk, but I felt the thesis was a bit ahead of its time. There's really no comparison between curling up with a book and a blanket in front of a fireplace, versus trying to read thousands of words on a screen.

Last weekend I was doing some house cleaning and I kept finding stacks of books. A stack next to the reading chairs. A stack on the coffee table. A stack beside my bed. All these stacks contained books I bought in 2004, but never read. Some, I got halfway through, but even more I got maybe ten pages in. A few I never even cracked open.

When I think back to the last three books I enjoyed, they were all heard on my iPod, while on a road trip. I can't recall the last book I finished in my hands.

I'm going to take a holiday trip soon to a fairly remote location where there's not much to do besides read. I'm going to sit and read the only book I've wanted to read this year, and I have a feeling it might just be one of the last dead tree books I read for a long time.

As much as I didn't agree with Cory back during his E-tech talk, I'm finally realizing it's coming true in my own life. I read thousands of words everyday on my monitors and I rarely take time to read anything on the printed page, and there's no sign of reversal on that trend. The scariest thing for the bookfan inside me is that I don't think it's bad thing, either.

Long live the ebook. Long live the audiobook. So long, dead trees.

Dead Like Me - Dead or Alive?

Dead Like Me - Dead or Alive? 02/01/2005 09:59 PM
In television these days, there is hardly a show that doesn’t have the blood flowing or the boobies showing. It is hard to find a show that makes it on wit alone. Till a few weeks ago, I thought I had found the saving grace with Showtime’s original show, Dead Like Me. I guess a few executives didn’t share my opinion. The fight is far from over though. In the past shows would have died…

On being in California...

On being in California... 03/14/2005 05:52 PM

I'm on the train between Los Angeles and San Diego listening to Orbital and overwhelmed by how alien and beautiful the industrial landscape outside my window is. I'm travelling backwards all the way which probably means something. There are lots full of identical vehicles. One lot full of blue tanker trucks. Another full of white articulated lorry fronts. Lined up and perfect. There are buildings with connected trailers and bays numbered one to eight-eight. Train tracks curl around them. Piles of rusting metal sit under repeating arches. Large open machines turn into buildings with little evidence of where one ends and the other begins. Everything's punctuated by massive pylons and palm trees. There's graffiti everywhere, and it doesn't look fake like it does all over London. It looks like it was born here.

It's probably my clumsy sleep patterns that make everything here seem hallucinogenically orchestrated. It all seems to be begging for a soundtrack. The whole city feels like Koyaanisqatsi from the train.

My seat on the train has a power socket by it, which I find strange but useful. The man in the onboard café car apologised for having to stow everything away and made a joke about bean counters. I've met a man from two television series and found that a friend's friend lives off internet poker. Words in roads and signs: peerless, thermo, blister, motor, rivera, pioneer, mason, cord. Everything's either made of wood, metal, concrete or meat. Colours come in stripes - pink/brown, white, grey, white, pink-brown, green, yellow, dust.

One other thing I've noticed here is how strange the quality of light is. It's about as grey and overcast here as it ever is in London, but there's still something different about it. More apocalyptic. Possibly it's because everything is designed to be seen in the bright sunshine - the primal colours of signs and adverts look like they're clashing with the world. And the buildings - designed to contrast with the blues and whites of the normal sky - blend into it now. It's like the natural order of the world is upside down. The smog is interesting too - American television often looks blurrier than Englih television. I think traditionally the resolution wasn't as good. Still there's something weirdly true about thinking of this place as lacking resolution. I think the smog in the air makes everything look less defined. A clear bright day in London in the spring makes everything seem so real. Here it makes it feel cartoonishly beautiful. Fascinating that light quality could have such an effect. I still remember the peculiar emotional charge that everything had in Helsinki in spring a few years back - the richness of the yellows and oranges - the sense that this light had something added to it that was more fundamental than the shallow shimmers we suffered with in England.

I'm meeting up with Biddulph and Hammond in Oceanside in a couple of hours. More later...

California vs. Google

California vs. Google 04/14/2004 11:59 AM
A (being charitable) confused California Senator has proposed a bill to outlaw Gmail because of the ads it includes in email. "We think it's an absolute invasion of privacy. It's like having a massive billboard in the middle of your home," she says. Even if she was correct, which I don't think she is, why is a law necessary? If Gmail is so clearly annoying, won't people who don't like the ads simply not use it? What purpose would such a law serve except to take Gmail away from those who thought the ads were an acceptable cost for the service? Derek Powazek has responded with a letter from his Gmail account asking for an apology. (Thanks, Chris!)...

California Says No More Diebold

California Says No More Diebold 04/22/2004 08:00 PM
Following story after story after story of questionable actions by Diebold with their electronic voting machines, culminating in the news that they knew they were breaking the law by using uncertified software in their machines during last month's primaries, a commission has recommended that California decertify all Diebold voting machines. Secretary of State Kevin Shelley has until the end of next week to make a decision on whether or not to follow the recommendation, and so far he's shown a good understanding of the issues involved (he is the one who said all e-voting machines should have a paper trail). Diebold's response is typical. Instead of admitting that they screwed up repeatedly in very damaging ways, they claim that being decertified "doesn't solve the problems" - suggesting that it's not their fault that they didn't solve their own problems and went ahead with illegally using software that hadn't been certified.
