Sandbag shelter wins architecture prize

Sandbag shelter wins architecture prize 12/22/2004 01:29 AM
Mark Frauenfelder: Karim sez: "We often don't think of temp shelters getting prestigious architecture awards - but this project out of California won a prize from the Aga Khan Award for Architecture. Cool design and sustainable and easy to make." Link< /a>

UPDATE: Derek sez "Just saw the Sandbag Shelter link you dropped on the Boingx2 site. If you click over to the indicated page, check out the 4th pic on the top of the page (listed as photo 6 at the bottom). Its the one with the completed huts. Look in the background about 2/3 to the right. You'll see (what appears to be) an airplane about half a second from a ground smashing explosion. The smoke trail looks to start in the upper left then you see it headed straight down and the plane is just above the mountain horizon when the pic was snapped. Bizarre timing, eh?"

UPDATE:Hayes sez: "It's a piece of string or rope hanging from the line that you can see in the left side of the picture."

Enterprise folk like music?

Enterprise folk like music? 08/11/2004 02:01 PM

Erioc Norlin has this "A Super-cool Identity Application".

In it - it surmises that business folk - who walk into a conference room - will have thier identities senses by Bluetooth and.....

So dude - I love yah - right? You knwo taht - right? But (for me) teh Bluetooth sensing of my Identity in a work environment will load up my relevant docs, spreadsheets, meeting notes, agenda and presentation - automatically.

I mean I love it when enterprise folks reach over - and try to act human - but let's face it - there's PLENTY of things to do with identity in the workplace - and having customized favorite music play - in a conference room - ain't gonna happen real soon.

Here's Eric's post....

A Super-cool Identity Application

Imagine:

you walk into a conference room; dial into a con call on the polycomm; the polycomm senses your bluetooth phone and (using a discovery service) looks at your personal attribute known as "music preferences"; thus your current favorite music (by how often you listen to it) is downloaded from your "federated" mp3 player -- and the hold music while you wait for your fellow con-callers is *your* favorite music.

sound a bit advanced? actually, you could (technically) do this right now with the Liberty Alliance specifications...

PageWise offers tips and little essays in simple language: Organize your work desk and files, Care for someone with Alzheimer's, Reduce holiday stress, Parenting advice that really works(!), Fix cooking mistakes, The basics of clothing stain removal. It's a cheap shot, but I particularly liked "Help you child in improving their writing skills". But why wouldn't they build in a search feature? I had to google to find again the article on restraining the elderly. (And what's the deal with the similar WebGuru?).

Folk Process defined and expanded upon

Folk Process defined and expanded upon 07/29/2004 05:05 AM
Hot on the heels of the attack on Woody Guthrie's memory (in the form of a lawsuit against political parodists who used his "This Land is Your Land" as part of a Flash movie) is this wonderful piece on what Pete Seeger called "the folk process" -- the way that traditional art has been made by ripping, mixing and burning the art that preceded it.

Guthrie may be right that Pete Seeger was the first to coin the term "folk process", but the process of oral song-transmission through through variation and selection was being analyzed even before Pete Seeger's birth in 1919. And the process itself has been operating as long as there have been songs. The folk process was described, though not so named, by Cecil Sharp in 1907: "[Development of a folk song] involves the three principles of continuity, variation, and selection."
