David Pescovitz:
Last week, my wife stumbled upon a small monograph of the work of
Iranian graphic designer
Reza
Abedini. Arabic script is naturally beautiful, and I think
Abedini's compositions, with text often a central graphic element, are
incredibly fresh and emotional. Today, my friend Anne Sanger sent me a
link to a great "Who's Who in Iranian Posters" page with links to even
more information about the country's happening graphic design scene.

Iran's blogging boom defies media control: There's an
opportunity here for me to spew some long-winded treatise about how
blogging is changing the world...but I'll just label this one as
"pretty cool" and call it good.
Take one exasperated Iranian woman. Add a computer. Hook
it up to the Internet. "And you have a voice in a country where it's
very hard to be heard," said Lady Sun, the online identity of one of
the first Iranian women to start a blog...

Iran's Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi recently said:
Iran will not give up its rights to the peaceful use of atomic
energy as well as its
right to supply nuclear fuel to its power plants.
OPEC's second
largest oil producing
nation needs nuclear power plants? Note that Iran also
has the world's second
largest natural gas reserve. Hmm. Maybe they have the
world's largest
BS reserves they are dying to export.

Boing Boing pal
Scott Beale informs us that our blog just won
Group Weblog of the Year at the
Bloggies. OMG! What a huge honor! Thank you, Bloggies. We honestly
didn't expect this, and we are deeply moved and grateful. There were
many other deserving blogs up for awards, backed by talented folks who
work very hard, and we raise our collective pirate-eye-patches in
their honor:
check 'em all
out. On behalf of my blog-mates
Cory Doctorow,
Mark Frauenfelder, and
David Pescovitz; our wise "band manager"
John Battelle; our sysadmin
par excellence Ken Snider; and the rest of the team and extended
family that makes Boing Boing possible -- a humble thank you. But most
of all, we are grateful to you, our readers, for wasting otherwise
productive time on our collective scrapbook of "wonderful things," and
for pointing us to even more of those wonderful and undiscovered
things each day. We're really sorry that we couldn't make it to
SXSW in person to accept the award,
but we hope you'll join us in celebrating in person tomorrow at
ETCON (
all five of us will be in the same place for the first time).
Boing Boing sprouted online a little over
five years ago, from paper zine roots planted by Mark Frauenfelder
and
Carla
Sinclair. It is a privilege to blog for you. With you, we look
forward to another adventurous year of link-discuss to come.

Update: Holy crap! Reader Nathaneal Heasley
sez, "Not only did BB win best group ‘blog, it won “blog of the
year/best weblog overall” – congratulations!" For those keeping
track, this is the second year in a row Boing Boing has received these
two awards: Link to 2004, Link to 2005. Man. We're
speechless, and overwhelmed by your generosity.

Cracking Iranian codes

Schneier has written an interesting article discussing the
accusation of Ahmed Chalabi of informing Iran that the US had broken
its codes and when Iran knew that the NSA was cracking their codes. He
digs into the history of Crypto AG, the NSA and Iran. He links to an
article about Hans
Buehler, the Crypto AG salesman who was arrested by Iran in 1992
on suspicion that Crypto AG had installed back doors in its encryption
machines. There is no conclusion, but this story reminds me of Crytonomicon and the
interesting world of information, misinformation and spying.

Thoughts on Bam earthquake from Iranian
bl0ggers
12/28/2003 06:58 PM
The recent earthquake in Bam, Iran may have claimed as many as 40,000
lives by some estimates. Sorting through the Persian blogosphere,
you'll find a number of sites where residents and expatriates are
posting about this tragedy, and its impact on their country's future.
Hossein Derakshan has
yet to sound out on his English-language site, but there's a post on
his Farsi blog for those who read
Farsi. Among the English-language sites where posts are already out:
Persianblogger.com,
Pesmanesque, Days of My Life In
California, Iranian
Truth, Iranfilter, Eyeranian, HumanFirstT
henaProudIranian. Many more are listed here, including blogs
written in Farsi (there are probably more than 12,000 of them -- here
is a good background piece on the Persian blogosphere, from
Wired News). And finally, Doug Rushkoff (not Persian) has this to say.
BoingBoing welcomes pointers to other sites
sounding out on the Bam earthquake via this form.

Nicholas Kristof's New York
Times column this weekend about 'sexy Iranians.'"
No one has challenged the
cleric's rule more effectively than these young Iranian girls. They
have totally changed the Islamic dress code during the past five
years. The half-sliced heads of the mannequins are results of Islamic
laws that prohibit making identical statues to humans.

Those
Sexy Iranians
...True, girls and women can still be imprisoned for going out
without proper Islamic dress. But young people are completely
redefining such dress so it heightens sex appeal instead of smothering
it.
Women are required to cover their hair and to wear either a chador
cloak or an overcoat, called a manteau, every time they go out, and
these are meant to be black and shapeless. But the latest fashion here
in Shiraz, in central Iran, is light, tight and sensual.
"There are some manteaus with slits on the sides up to the
armpits," said Mahmoud Salehi, a 25-year-old manteau salesman. "And
then there are the `commando manteaus,' with ties on the legs to show
off the hips and an elastic under the breasts to accentuate the
bust."
Worse, from the point of view of hard-line mullahs, young women in
such clothing aren't getting 74 lashes any more — they're
getting dates.
Iranian
blogger Hoder has started
a photo
blog and some of the recent images show us what they're talking
about.

I refuse to link to them because they always end up expiring their
