CIA Spy Museum

CIA Spy Museum 12/29/2003 11:50 PM

CIA Museum Showcases Exotic Spy Gadgets. Spy satellites, anti-rocket laser cannons — you know the drill.

Besides the jungle transmitter, the exhibits include a robotic catfish, a remote-controlled dragonfly and a camera strapped to the chests of pigeons and released over enemy targets in the 1970s. The secret gadgets currently used by CIA are left to the imagination of visitors.

I wonder how this compares to the Intern ational Spy Museum.

DC Museum Report

DC Museum Report 12/17/2004 06:36 PM

Wrapping up my stay in Washington, DC, here's a report on the museums.  The National Gallery has a Dan Flavin show.  Even if you have seen his fluorescent light works in Marfa, Texas or at Dia:Beacon this exhibition is worthwhile.  My favorite piece is "untitled (honor of Harold Joachim) 3", a corner installation that graces the cover of Dan Flavin: The Complete Lights.  The new National Museum of the American Indian has a temporary show of George Morrison wood collages.  Morrison was a 20th century Chippewa artist.  The cafeteria is fantastic.  The rest of the American Indian museum is worth seeing in the sense that a train wreck is fascinating.  The project cost more than $220 million and is kind of a sick supersized parody of Frank Lloyd Wright's NY Guggenheim.  There is a huge cylindrical atrium that is basically empty and that barely relates to the exhibits, which are well off to the side in dark claustrophobic galleries.  The artwork and artifacts are dimly lit and crammed into crowded display cases.  Compared to the anthropology museum in Mexico City or the average American Indian museum in Oklahoma or South Dakota this new Smithsonian is a depressing example of the current state of American non-profit organization management.  It reminds one of the disappointing Udvar-Hazy Air and Space annex at Dulles Airport, where nearly $1 billion seems to have been invested in the kind of museum that Polynesian cargo cultists might have built.  I.e., a lot of interesting objects (airplanes) are displayed but the assumption is that they can't be understood or explained.

Chicago Museum to Get Wi-Fi

Chicago Museum to Get Wi-Fi 08/27/2004 01:30 PM
The very cool Field Museum in Chicago will get a Wi-Fi network, built by Concourse: Most users will pay a "nominal" fee to access the network, but Chicago Public School kids and their teachers will get free access. The museum also envisions using the network to offer interactive exhibits in the future. The Experience Music Project, Paul Allen's music museum in Seattle, also built a Wi-Fi network in its space recently. The networks sound useful internally for museum workers as much as for an extra service for visitors. I'm not sure how willing or interested I would be in paying to access a Wi-Fi network in a museum after I've already paid an entrance fee. But the networks would offer a great conduit for delivering content about exhibits to handheld devices as part of the regular museum experience. The EMP has a bar and restaurant that people can visit without paying an entrance fee to the museum so those users might be interested in paying to use the network....

The Art of Cats:
The Katte nkabinet (Cat Cabinet, the Cat Museum) of Amsterdam: a collection of objects d'art wholly centered around the theme of the cat, among which you will find a wonderful gallery including Picasso. Controversial social taboos are not avoided. Malaysia's Cat City of Kuching has a Cat Museum; more info on the Museum of Meows he re (Ancient Egyptians shaved their eyebrows in mourning when the family cat died. Malays attached superstitions to cats believing they possessed supernatural powers...) The scullery of Kathleen Mann's Antiques in London's High Street has a "Purrfect Museum" too, with 250 exhibits from all over the world going back to the 1770s, founded by Kathleen and her mother ... Kitty. Not to be outdone, Lith uania and Russia have cat museums as well.

Music Museum to Get Wi-Fi

Music Museum to Get Wi-Fi 12/08/2003 04:45 PM
I wrote a story for the Seattle Times about a planned wireless network at the Experience Music Project: The rock museum, built by Paul Allen, plans to offer the network to visitors but also use it for a variety of internal functions. One plan is to use the network to stream audio and video to handheld devices that visitors can carry around through the exhibits. I'm not sure I did a very good job of conveying how interesting this project is. For those of you who aren't familiar with the EMP or haven't seen pictures, it's a Frank Gehry building that looks like a bunch of colorful lumps glued together. I would imagine that building a wireless network there would be a nightmare, given the structure doesn't have a single right angle. I'll be interested to check back with the folks at EMP in a couple of months when more of the network should be in place to hear about the experience. Then I'd like to check in again next summer to see how many of the ambitious applications are actually in place....

Framley Museum. 'The museum was founded in 1882 when objects of local interest began to gather in the field where the museum now stands, due to the natural action of the wind and rain. '
'In 1886, visionary Whoft philanthropist, Manimal MacCorkindale proposed building some walls around the objects, forming Framley's first museum. A door fitted in 1932 cemented the museum's popularity.'

I still recall meandering through that massive Cray with accompanying picture of its hayday, lovlingly attended by smartly dressed attendents resembling the "stewards and stewardesses" on airlines of old.

Another car exhibit in a Massachusetts
art museum 04/18/2005 02:34 AM

In an attempt to build up my skills in the Piper Arrow, an example of the "complex" airplane that must be used for an FAA flight instructor flight test, I went out to western Massachusetts on Saturday to MassMOCA, an electronic components factory converted to contemporary art museum.  The most arresting exhibit currently is by the explosion artist Cai Guo-Qiang.  He tricked out Ford Tauruses with fiber optics to simulate rockets and fireworks then hung them from the ceiling in one of MassMOCA's largest rooms.  This is well worth the trip to the North Adams airport (KAQW; surrounded by mountains and not suitable for IFR or night operations).  If you were bored by the car exhibit at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts you'll like this one.

Allocating registers is fun!

Allocating registers is fun! 06/22/2005 02:30 AM
And, it turns out, as I remarked earlier, not that big a deal. I just did a full rebuild of the $WORK sourcebase. 468 individual programs, ~520k lines of source (about 14.3M of it), 175M of PIR, generating 164M of bytecode, and not a function or subroutine in the whole lot. Well, in the original sourcebase, at least. Total compilation time? 185 CPU minutes. Which is less than it took to compile just the biggest program before I wrote the allocation code. (It's just slightly more than half the time that it took to compile that one monster program)...
