Turncoats in Bermuda shorts. Arianna Huffington continues to
skewer offshore tax shelters in her latest Salon opinion piece.
Despite her patriot-speak denouncing these corporations for avoiding
taxes while our young men are getting ready to die for their country,
she does shine the light on a growing problem – “basic fairness
and economic justice” – or, the lack of it. How can the average
American not be outraged at this, when so many of us are expected to
be able to account for even the smallest charitable donation we would
dare to use as a tax write-off?

Last week in LA, I went to a
Channel
101 screening -- monthly events where a edgy creatives show short
films before a live audience, who in turn vote the work on or off the
proverbial viewing island. The project isn't a cable TV show yet, but
it ought to be. I understand they recently shot a pilot for Fox, so
perhaps it will.
One of the teams who participate regularly in the Channel 101
showdowns is The Lonely
Island, and they've just posted a bunch of their work online. It's
terrific stuff. One of their pieces, which screened at last week's
event, is a dry, deadpan music video performed by two guys, called,
uh, "Just 2 Guyz." (MPEG-4 Link,
MPEG-1
Link, 2 min.). I loved their "Nintendo" animated short, too (MPEG / Quicktime, 3
min.)
Episodes of the Lonely Island short series The 'Bu are here (Link), with Sarah
Chalke of Scrubs and Roseanne fame. Other celeb
links -- Brooke Shields has a 5-minute bit in the begining of Episode
2: Regarding Ardy. (Link). Kal
Penn (of Harold and Kumar and Gilmore Girls) plays
Fred in Episode 2. A source close to the project says, "Kiefer
Sutherland interrupted the filming of episode 1, then told all sorts
of fanciful embellishments about it on Leno and Letterman. (Link)."

"When stewardesses
were sexy and the world was sexist" is the tagline of this
years-in-making musical by Suzy Conn, who also runs the
blogway baby musicals log (which
talks about this musical quite a bit). It's meant to be based around
the early 1960's, when airlines were truly a luxury, not unlike a sea
cruise or a first-class train ride pre-Amtrak. (The website spends
some time going on about
Braniff International,
and it's worth it to check out the history of that airline. This is
also laid out on top of the era of
Women's
Liberation, although it does so using the aesthetic of 1960's
music and phraseology, which was, basically, designed by
male-dominated hollywood.
For everyone who sits in the cheap seats, if you let the flash
animation at the beginning of the site load, it plays the entire
opening title song for you. Hey, free show!

On the plane to San Diego
On the plane to San Diego
02/10/2004 02:47 AMBack before all this weblogging stuff, I used to work as a
consultant. Every Monday I had to get up and fly off to some city
(Newark NJ, Bloomington IL by way of Chicago, Atlanta, etc.) where I'd
spend the week working on-site at the client's office, and then I'd
fly home on Friday afternoon, often barely arriving in time for
dinner. I'd have two days home, and then be off again bright early
Monday AM. It was fun and grueling, and this morning I got a little
taste of my old life.
I woke up at 4:45 AM to catch a 7 AM flight to San Diego for the
O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference. At the gate I noticed my
former compatriots, the Monday morning business travelers. During the
pre-boarding, I was the only woman, surrounded by men with suits,
briefcases, and trench coats. It was just like the old days, and yet
it wasn't, thanks to the amazing technology advances in the past six
years. In the past it used to take me two laptop batteries to make it
across the country, and even then, I'd often run out. And as for
music, I was pretty much limited to the amount of CDs I could carry
with me. So far today I've been flying for over three hours and I've
got nearly 50% of my battery left on my iBook. My iPod also still has
half its charge, and over 4 straight days of music sit at my
fingertips. Pretty incredible, it sure makes for a more pleasant trip.
Now if only they could do something about speeding up the flight, and
warming up the plane!

Just Put A Cellular Tower In The Plane
Just Put A Cellular Tower In The Plane
04/21/2004 03:53 PMIn something of a followup to a post from a
few
weeks ago, Guy Kewney is going through
every
reason given for banning mobile phones on planes and explaining
why it doesn't have to be true. The real issue isn't one of danger
(as has been pointed out many times before), but that each phone would
be contacting so many cellular towers on the ground it would cause
problems for the carriers. The simple solution (mentioned in that
earlier article) is to place a modified mobile cellular tower on the
plane that directs all communication down in a more appropriate
manner. Having found such a local tower, the phones won't broadcast
out to all the other towers on the ground. Still, some are worried
about the danger issue, and Kewney systematically points out why all
their arguments don't make sense. Of course, none of this addresses
the
annoy
ance issue - but perhaps we'll have airlines that advertise "no
phoning" planes or zones and we'll basically be back to where we are
now.

The remote controlled plane
photography dudes went nuts on New Year's Day, and they've just
compiled their aerial photographs from the US, Europe, and Australia.
Seemingly none of them got arrested for being Al Qaeda cells or
something.
We wonder where this will lead: every gadget finds its ideal
application, and we're pretty much thinking the ideal application of
RC photo-planes will be buzzing the Playboy mansion for overhead views
of nekkid, partying Playmates.

X-Plane is a flight simulator that reads in the
geometric shape of any aircraft and then figures
out how that aircraft will fly. It does this via
an engineering process called "blade element
theory", which involves breaking the aircraft down
into many small elements and then finding the
forces on each little element many times per
second. These forces are then converted into
accelerations, which are then integrated to
velocities and positions. This gives X-Plane the
most realistic flight model available for personal
computers.
Changes:
Better instrument output.
