Other memories of Paris
Other memories of Paris
06/05/2005 11:56 PM
Like a lover who, after
the affair has ended, desperately revisits old letters and photos to
hold onto the magic, I cannot stop reading about Paris! I ordered Remembrance of Things Paris: Sixty Years of Writing from
Gourmet, edited by Ruth Reichl, while I was in Paris so it would
await me upon my return. I've been reading the short articles whenever
I have a few minutes break, and it's bringing it all back. What's even
more amazing is how many of the spots I know -- and the articles I'm
reading were written shortly after WWII! But the streets,
cafés, restaurants, and hangouts are all still the same. At
least it assures me that when I do return, I'll be able to enjoy many
of the same things. As this enjoyable book demonstrates, Paris sure
has continuity going for it!

Mike sez, "With the rise of mega-broadcasting, quirky local television
shows have faded into obscurity. Luckily, this site rescues these
otherwise forgotten shows that aired in Tulsa, Oklahoma, from the '50s
to the '00s. While every American city had its own local flavor,
common elements are apparent -- the cheesy horror movie show, the
Saturday teen dance party show, and the goofy puppet-based kids show.
View all the shows on this detailed site and revel in the evocative
memories shared by visitors. A wealth of pictures, audio clips, and
video clips adds to the enjoyment. Even if you've never been to Tulsa,
this site provides an interesting trip back in time to a simpler era
of television."

I saw this picture on Boing Boing. It's a ancient (about 30 years
old) hard disk that probably fit about 256K according to a Boing Boing
reader.
This iDuck can hold 1000X
as much as that disk drive.
And these little 0.2mm
RFID chips hold 128K each.
I wonder when they will start selling memory at the drug store in
Petabytes per gram...

Communicate with notes from Mark
I've been thinking
about audio files lately. There are lots of interesting audio blogs
these days and I realized that putting audio interviews for my
shar
ing economy research online would be a neat thing to do. For the
last month or so, I've been diving into audio gear and software. (I'll
write about all this in another post when I figure out what I'm
doing.) During this journey into gadgets past, I stumbled into my
vinyl records from my DJ days. Most are promotional records that
Rockpool sent me when I was reporting my charts to them, but many were
from Mark Stephens. Mark Stephens was my mentor and one of my best
friends. He was also the first person I knew who died of AIDS. Mark
received tons of promos and he would share some of the good stuff with
me. He would jot things down on the record jackets or on little
post-its. Since I stopped spinning records, I've allowed several DJs
as well as
my second-cousin Cornelius to go through my record collection
and take what they wanted. What I have now is a 1000+ record
collection, almost all from 1988-1990, 90% crap, with very high
sentimental value. What do I do with them? I looked into software to
convert vinyl to mp3's but it looked like a real pain. The other idea
I had was browse my vinyl for stuff I liked, scan the notes and try to
find the music on a file sharing network. I should know the answer to
this question, but is this illegal?
I seem to be getting into these diary-like entries these days, but
digging through old vinyl and reading the little notes from Mark
brought back a lot of memories. I'm struggling with how to bring some
of those memories into the medium I have today.

Top twenty memories at CC
Top twenty memories at CC
04/04/2005 01:57 AMI tried limiting this list to ten, but I couldn't do it. There's no
way I could really limit it to twenty, even, but I'll go with the
first score that come to mind, in no particular order.
(1) Meeting the World's Coolest
Man.
(2) Singing karaoke in Seoul with the lawyers of KAFIL, CC's affiliate institution
for the newly launched Creative Commons
Korea.
(3) Getting a phone call in January 2002 from my former professor
and long-time hero Lawrence Lessig -- who, I couldn't be sure, really
remembered me -- inviting me to join Creative Commons.
(4) Seeing Gilberto Gil and David Byrne perform Cole
Porter's "Don't Fence Me In" at the WIRED Creative Commons benefit
concert.
(5) Brainstorming on and making "Get Creative" and
"Reticulum Rex" with Neeru Paharia, Ryan Junell, Benjamen Walker,
and Christopher Lydon.
(6) Seeing the Brazilian Portuguese translation of both movies at
the launch of
CC Brazil.
(7) First trying out the phrase "Some Rights Reserved" at a meeting
with the great folks -- and later, friends -- of Rice Connexions.
(8) Talking about rock-and-roll, over beers, with Jamie Boyle, Mike
Carroll, and Eric Saltzman after my first CC board meeting in
Cambrige, MA.
(9) Sharing countless lunches (and jokes) with CC staff at the
Treehouse, on Stanford's campus.
(10) Receiving the amazing going-away gifts of an iPod Shuffle full
of CC music and a beautiful CC Taiwan poster from Lessig and the CC
team on my last day.
(11) Seeing Grandmaster Flash
perform, in a very weird context, at SXSW.
(12) Watching Justin Cone's "Building on the Past"
for the first time.
(13) Seeing Christiane's
daughter Lara playing with Willem at Larry and Bettina's house.
(14) At Duke's FRAMED!
conference, seeing Negativland's Mark Hosler meet, confront, and
then make friends with the lawyer who set the U2
brouhaha in motion.
(15) The CC
Europe Summit.
(16) Awaking from a nap under my desk to hear everyone from CC and
Stanford CIS singing Happy
Birthday on my 30th.
(17) Hearing a crazed David Byrne fan tell my mother, age 73 -- at
her first rock show ever -- that the song "Psycho Killer" reminded him
of her.
(18) Eating at Carl's Jr. at 3am with two members of the Polyphonic
Spree.
(19) Experiencing the mayhem before, and the joy during, every
Creative Commons party.
(20) Doing an interview, with Lessig and Neeru, with the cartoon
blogger Machina in Tokyo.
And there are so many more.
What kills me about putting this list together is to think of all
the great things that I will miss out on from today forward.

Keep those digital holiday memories safe
Keep those digital holiday memories safe
12/24/2004 12:09 PMRecent tests have found digital camera media to be safe from airport
security X-ray scanners, which should be good news for travelers this
holiday season.
The tests of scanner models currently in use in the U.S.
transportation industry were jointly conducted by the International
Imaging Industry Association (I3A), the leading global association for
the imaging industry; SanDisk Corporation, a manufacturer of digital
media cards; and the U.S. Transportation Security Administration
(TSA).
Digital cameras and their image storage media can travel safely in
either checked or carryon bags, and although they were not explicitly
tested, it is likely that images on camera-phones will be safe in
either situation as well, according to the test results. Travelers are
advised to take more care with cameras with film, however, as the
X-ray scanners for both checked and carryon luggage can fog both
developed and undeveloped film.
The digital camera market is growing quickly, with revenue forecast to
reach $24 billion this year, according to InfoTrends/CAP Ventures. The
top five worldwide market leaders in 2004 are Canon, Sony, Olympus,
Kodak and Fuji. These companies are expected to remain in the top five
in 2005, though their rank within the top five may change.
