Ian Haig is an Australian geek pervert artist who makes wacky, futuristic sex toys from used tech stuff: discarded vacuum cleaners, food processors, and the like. Many of the passers-by who wandered into his booth at the recent Erotica LA expo assumed the devices were intended to be used. A scary prospect, given their appearance, but some people will get off to just about anything. Thankfully, Haig makes the devices for observation only. Think of it as socio-sexual nerdist commentary, with tongue planted firmly in cheek. And just be grateful nobody's trying to stick one of these up your nether-regions.

I shot a couple of photographs of Mr. Haig and his "Futurotica" tools at Erotica LA: one, two.

BoingBoing reader Heidi says,

"Rob Walker writes about the North Claiborne area of New Orleans, where a community still uses an area as public space -- even though it's now under a freeway. Some of the highway support columns are painted with murals, but the most interesting column is plastered with newspaper obituaries of neighborhood residents. Photos are included in the essay."

Register: is Orkut TOS a deja vu of
controversial, discarded Microsoft TOS? 02/10/2004 02:51 AM
In the Register, an interesting piece on Orkut's terms of service, which danah previously criticized, and Cory described here as "craptacular":

Orkut's terms of service harbor a nasty payload -- "By submitting, posting or displaying any Materials on or through the orkut.com service, you automatically grant to us a worldwide, non-exclusive, sublicenseable, transferable, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable right to copy, distribute, create derivative works of, publicly perform and display such Materials." -- It's startlingly similar to the Microsoft Passport Terms which caused a storm of outrage two years ago, a reader points out. (...) Microsoft was forced to amend [its] terms five days after our first story, amidst threats of defections.

I don't imagine that the folks behind Orkut are evil people, and I wonder what their response is to the Reg article -- and to concerns voiced by present and former Orkut members. In a similar flap, users publicly lambasted phonecam-blog service Textamerica last December over a draconian TOS; to their credit, Textamerica modified it promptly.

GPS, Wi-Fi, shock collars combine to make a movable virtual cow fence: It's a little strange, but cow-herding-by-wire (or by wireless) might become a way to manage long herds. A collar with an embedded GPS and Wi-Fi and the ability to make sounds or produce shocks could allow a farmer to wrassle cattle virtually, avoiding more expensive management techniques. The Wi-Fi is used to convey GPS coordinates. Solar-powered Wi-Fi hubs could handle relying information back to a central control....
