The Programming Soviet

The Programming Soviet 07/08/2002 02:38 AM
I had an aunt and uncle who were Communists until the end. They saw any flaw in the capitalist sytem as fatal, and they saw hope in the most tired and discredited leaders and systems (my uncle wrote an exultant pamphlet about Yugoslavia under Tito).

I am reminded of my aunt and uncle whenever I read an anti-Microsoft tirade from Doc Searls or Eric Raymond or another card-carrying command-line zealot from the programming Soviet. To these true believers, any Microsoft imperfection spells imminent collapse for the Redmond bourgeoisie. Comes the revolution, it will be from each according to his Open Source and to each according to his Unix. -- Arnold Kling

I don't agree with everything that Arnold says, but it's a thought provoking piece.

Wind Power 08/23/2004 12:10 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: WorldChanging has a short item about a home-use electricity-generating windsail designed by engineers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the US and the Makeyev State Rocket Center in Russia. Unlike a horizontal-axis wind turbine, this one is supposed to be quieter and less hazardous to birds. As you can see from the table below, you need a pretty brisk wind to keep even one light bulb burning.

Condition	Turbine Output (watts)	Annual KWh
<5 m/s wind	negligible	negligible

Secret Soviet plans for a lunar military
base

Secret Soviet plans for a lunar military
base 09/22/2004 06:16 AM
David Pescovitz: Thirty years ago, the Russian military allegedly developed plans to build a base on the Moon. According to MosNews, the Novaya Gazeta weekly got the story from the project-deputy general designer of the General Machine Building Design Bureau (KBOM) who was directly involved in the project.

"Soviet scientists considered the Moon to be a very good place for a strategic headquarters as nuclear strikes on its surface would lose most of their destructive force. As the moon has no atmosphere, no shockwave could spread there and the radioactive dust would immediately fall out back on the surface without an atmosphere to carry it.

The designer also said that the USA had also developed a lunar base project and the Soviet scientists had been aware of these plans."

The source, Aleksandr Yegorov, said the Soviet plan was scrapped because... (surprise!) it was too damn expensive. Link (to the MosNews article) Link (to a history of Russian lunar base programs)

Black market Soviet space program
detritus

Black market Soviet space program
detritus 03/28/2005 08:49 AM
Cory Doctorow: Russia's flea markets and online auction sites teem with stolen detritus of the Soviet space pragram. Wired has a good article with interviews with the dealers and buyers. The look and feel of commie space junque is completely awesome: there's a Russian science fiction publisher that finances its trips to American conventions by selling off thousands of kitschy Soviet space pins and memorabilia, stuff with the design feel of a Gernsback-era flying wing or phallic rocket-bomb. I can totally see how the actual detritus from the actual program would pose a nearly inescapable lure to a certain species of craphound.

I'm talking to a vendor named Vladimir, who, to protect himself from the bitter cold, has put on a pair of orange space gloves, which he swears belonged to Gagarin, and a bubble-shaped space helmet. A $2,000 price tag hangs off his right pinkie, and a $1,000 marker dangles from the helmet. Eager to make a sale, Vladimir lifts the face shield, revealing a set of bulging eyes and a two-day beard. "So," he says, speaking English with a heavy Russian accent to a tourist snapping a photo, "you wanna be a spaceman?"

Vladimir's stall is among hundreds that line Izmailovo's muddy pathways like a set of crooked teeth. Vendors hawk everything from pirated DVDs to antique rifles, just like any weekend market in the US. But Izmailovo's proximity to the famed cosmonaut training ground Star City - 90 minutes away by pothole-riddled streets - makes this bazaar unique. There are dozens of vendors peddling the same kind of wares as Vladimir. With a hand-rolled cigarette dangling from his mouth, he shows off artifacts that would be right at home in a museum clearance sale - an $800 leather headset, a $1,000 heat-resistant jumper with a Russian flag on the sleeve, and his prize, a $40,000 space suit from a 1971 Soyuz spacecraft.

I combined a couple of examples from the book to create Feed Poster, a program that checks a list of newsfeeds, composes a blog post listing the items from those newsfeeds posted in the last X days. You could use it, for example, to post a summary of your del.icio.us links at the end of each day. I considered using David Czarnecki's Java API for del.icio.us, which looks awesome, but I ended up using a simple newsfeed parser and blog client instead.

Animation Show poster

Animation Show poster 03/19/2005 03:02 AM
Mark Frauenfelder: Scott says: "The Animation Show is opening up in Atlanta today. Check out this cool Tim Biskup poster."

Originally from California, Tim Biskup was raised on Disneyland, Rat Fink, badly dubbed Japanese Sci-Fi flicks, punk rock, skateboarding and underground comics. In the mid-eighties he left Otis/Parsons School of Design to seek his fortune in the world of illustration. His career included designing for skateboard companies and record labels. (a highlight being his work for Ralph Records and his heroes the Residents). His obsession with the art of Mary Blair led him to a career in animation. This career has involved him in countless cartoons, including his own short "Freddy Seymore's Amazing Life" for Nickelodeon and background supervisor for Cartoon Network's "Time Squad." In 1998, Biskup began hosting and curating the Burning Brush auctions, has been in a vast array of exhibitions and has currently launched a line of tee shirts and gift items under the GAMA-GO label.

This new, official, logo has been displayed since the 24th of October and those of you who wondered how it has been picked and what the name of the winner is should read up in the PR section. The longer explanation also features a larger version of the logo itself, so that you may have a closer look at its details. We like our new logo, we hope that you will like it too. IMPORTANT: We do not yet have a formal licensing agreement for the new logo and so are unable to give permission to distribute it. Currently, it can only be displayed on the Fink web page. Thank you for your understanding.

It was Tim who got the official statement from the marketing geeks:

It has been brought to our attention that several unauthorized, sexually suggestive advertisements portraying the PUMA brand have been released over the Internet. We are appalled that images like these would be created and distributed under the PUMA name. As a brand, we seek to take a unique perspective toward our advertising in an effort to challenge the boundaries of our industry; however we would never consider using these tactics. We are in the process of researching the circumstances and reserve any legal steps available.

How to spot a trendy logo

How to spot a trendy logo 01/24/2004 11:31 AM
Interesting piece on current trends in logo design (merging blobs, swooshes, pop-art finneals, the color green, wireframes, etc). Though it strikes me that, given my penchant for dinstinctiveness in logomarks that I would be liekley to use this as a crib-sheet for critiquing the logo-development undertaken by my design-firm: "Dude, a green wireframe swooshy pop-art blob? That is so played-out. I want the new-new." Or, as Ian McDonald put it in his brilliant novel, Out on Blue Six:

So I said, like, whazz new, I mean, like new new, not old new, yuh know, like last-week new, so she said, this yulp in the shop, "This is new," like she said, "Cheez, like everyone, but everyone's going to be wearing one next week," like, whazz a yulp know 'bout fashion? Anyway, I thought, well, maybeez sheez right, so, I got one, so I did like, whadyou think? Isn't it wheeeee! like. Isn't it the most? Meanasay, you not got fashion, you not got nothing!
