Flowers From Alice published, soon to
appear in a year's-best
01/05/2004 04:14 PM

I've just gotten back into the office and discovered a copy of the new Mike Resnick anthology, "New Voices in Science Fiction," a Science Fiction Writers of America-sponsored book showcasing new, noteworthy writers. Charlie Stross and I wrote a story for it, called Flowers from Alice, a pervy piece of post-Singularity erotica. I'm happy to say that the story was also selected for the inaugural volume of Jonathan Strahan and Karen Haber's new Best of the Year anthology. Link

Alice ML 1.1 (Default branch)


Alice ML 1.1 (Default branch) 03/28/2005 03:42 AM
Alice ML is a functional programming language that enriches the statically typed, closed functional world of ML with extensive support for type-safe programming of concurrent, distributed, and open systems. It also features cutting-edge constraint programming technology in the tradition of Oz/ Mozart. Alice ML is a mostly conservative extension of Standard ML.
Changes:
The Interactive Toplevel now comes with an optional GUI that includes a simple editor. The library now enables safe runtime access to the compiler, including a type-safe Lisp-style "eval". Programmable custom search strategies for constraint programming are now supported, including a distributed search engine. An aliceglade tool allows the creation of GTK+ interfaces with the graphical Glade interface builder. Bugfixes and minor feature enhancements were made.

Alice as illustrated by dozens


Alice as illustrated by dozens 08/23/2004 06:36 AM
Cory Doctorow: This amazing Alice in Wonderland site collects versions of Alice as drawn by dozens of illustrators (including a wonderful page of Alice avatars). I'm very fond of the Mervyn Peake interpretations.

Alas, the site-author, who has appropriated hundreds of images from various artists, has decided that s/he should be immune from this treatment: right-clicking on many of the links and images yeilds an insulting Javascript popup that says, "Please don't take my images." Er, your images? Link (via The Disney Blog)

This is sweet: a Japanese amp system that lives in a flowerpot and uses the foliage above to amplify the sound.
Called the "Flower Speaker Amplifiers", the gadget made by Let's Corp is hidden in a vase or a potted plant and sends music at just the right frequency to vibrate up the stems and then be converted into audible sound by the plant as a whole.

Early Summer Flowers


Early Summer Flowers 04/28/2004 12:14 AM

Is it summer or late spring?  It sure feels like summer here in the Bay Area.  Anyhow, Steve Kirks shot his azalea for me, so I thought I should send him some of my flowers.  I guess Tim Bray is too busy with his new job to take snapshots of his lawn.

I am rather embarrased to admit that I have no idea what this flower growing in my backyard is.  The tag got lost you see and my head being filled with essentials like Boo leaves little room for flower names other than simple ones like the rose and the sunflower.  It's the same with wine names so all I can manage is 'I'll have the, er, red.'

"Canon" Turns Plants, Flowers Into

"Canon" Turns Plants, Flowers Into
Speakers
07/17/2004 12:54 PM

canon_plant_speakers.jpg

The Music Bird Corporation has developed a fantastic new product that is only slightly tainted by their ad-copy flim-flammery -- the "Canon," a series of vases and flower pots that actually use the leaves and flowers of plants as speakers. The Canon (a play on Japanese words for flower ("ka") and sound ("non")) uses an acrylic tube to vibrate the flowers, adding directionless sound, which the creators of the product admonish "raise[s] the healing effects" by adding the missing fifth dimension of sound (I hadn't realized flowers had any healing effects at all, besides mending broken hearts. (I'm puking, too.))

The Canon vibro-vegetables will be available in limited quantities this month for prices between $45 and $450, in a variety of styles.

Flowers for SF gay weddings effort
stunning success


Flowers for SF gay weddings effort
stunning success
07/19/2004 02:52 AM
Back in February, Darren Barefoot started the charitable effort he called "Flowers for Al and Don," in which people donated money for flowers to be delivered to gay and lesbian couples awaiting marriage on the steps of the San Francisco Courthouse. The effort was a signal success. Darren sez:
As you guys covered this (and helped promote it) back in February, I just thought you'd be interested to hear the final results. Ultimately, we raised US $14,312.28. We delivered US $11,542.28 worth of flowers, and donated the remainder to two related and deserving charities--Lambda Legal and the Gay and Lesbian Rights Project at the ACLU.
