The Virtual Mobile Virtual Network
Operator From 7-Eleven

The Virtual Mobile Virtual Network
Operator From 7-Eleven 04/27/2004 05:27 PM
Mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) are nothing new. Virgin, both in the UK and the US, has been quite successful creating their own mobile phone carrier, despite not having a network of their own, but simply handling the branding and management, while leaving all the technology issues to a network operator partner. So far, most MVNOs seem to be targeting the youth market (often with "pre-paid plans"), and considering just how lucrative that market seems these days, it's no surprise that plenty of others want into the market. However, operating the whole MVNO is probably a lot of work, so now we're getting to the point where you have virtual MVNOs (VMVNOs) who will do all the work for a company, and simply slap their brand on the final product. That seems to be what's happening with convenience store 7-Eleven, who has announced plans to sell pre-paid mobile phones and service under the "Speak Out" brand - though, all the work appears to be done by Ztar Mobile. Other retailers are quickly expected to follow. Wal-Mart is at the top of the list, with Costco and Home Depot also apparently considering their own mobile phone offerings. The idea is to target younger users, or those with bad credit histories, who can simply pick up a phone at the store, and use it until their minutes run out, at which point they can top it up again - back at the store, of course.

Virtual Reference So Virtual We Couldn't
Use It

Virtual Reference So Virtual We Couldn't
Use It 07/07/2004 01:15 AM

Another virtual reference failure tonight. Kailee was reading about Neti and Ditto, the cloned monkeys, when she asked if we could find a picture of them. After a couple of fruitless attempts on the web, I again suggested she try my System's virtual reference project since we still had 15 minutes before they "closed" for the night.

So we fired up the URL and after a couple of confusing attempts to connect, we waited for a librarian to "answer" our call. And we waited. And we waited. And we waited. We finally gave up and submitted the question via email, only to be told we'd probably receive an answer in 1-2 business days.

It's extremely frustrating to try to teach Kailee to turn to librarians online for help only to keep running into problems and dead ends when she actually tries to do this. If she didn't have librarian parents, I'll bet she'd be giving up on us now.

Green Day CD-Rs

Green Day CD-Rs 09/24/2004 09:55 AM

Strange but punk. Green Day and iTunes Music Store are releasing a special set of CD-Rs pre-imprinted with the logos from the original CDs, so that you can download their music from iTMS and burn it onto a proper disc - sound quality aside, no one would be the wiser.

Wouldn't it be nice if a band were to release their redbook CDs along with a blank CD-R for copying and giving to your friends? Just sort of a, "We don't mind if you want to make a copy or two. Thanks for purchasing." I'm not holding my breath (my blood atenuators do not require crude meatchanical motion).

Andrew Gumbel has an article at The Independent titled, "Infra-red device gives drivers the green light." Basically, he reports on the sale (still legal at the moment) of Mobile Infra-Red Transmitters, little boxes that plug into your car's cigarette lighter, giving you the power to change (certain) red lights to green. Washington Post reported on it last Friday. With more Googling, I found out MIRTs were reported on earlier than Halloween even.

Beyond the Green Zone

Beyond the Green Zone 05/19/2004 12:11 AM
Jeff Jarvis echoes Howard Kurtz's observation that most U.S. reporters in Iraq aren't daring to venture outside the Green Zone. Given the chaos there and the danger of being taken hostage or worse, it's hard to second-guess the decisions these journalists are making. But there's no question we won't get the full picture from Iraq this way.

Jarvis suggests we read Iraqi bloggers (and provides a set of links to them). That's certainly good advice.

But it's also worth pointing out that Salon's coverage from Iraq was not "embedded" during the invasion and is not embedded in the Green Zone today. Our correspondent Philli p Robertson has been courageously, and independently, traveling the country, offering e yewitness accounts from the siege of Najaf and Kufa, escaping a thankfully brief detainment by Moqtada al-Sadr's Al-Mehdi Army, and providing another angle on the Abu Ghraib abuses.

Phillip is a fine writer and a great observer. If you want to read reporting that's not hunkered down behind the barricades, here it is.

With Spymac and its members taking a step towards a greener planet we see "green" issues emerging in all areas in life. The latest domain to see a trend toward the environment is gaming. Veggie Games Inc. is an independent studio based in Vancouver, BC that focuses on creating games that promote kindness and compassion towards animals and the environment. President and founder, Johnathan Skinner, "was inspired to use his skill of making video games as a form of activism... speaking up for the animals that can't speak for themselves." With games that teach "people how to respect the environment, the animals, and each other," Veggie Games can introduce gamers to animal rights and environmental issues while still being entertained. The company released the first-ever activism-based animal rights themed video game, Steer Madness earlier this month. The game features a cow that rescues lab animals and converts residents of the city to a vegetarian diet. Steer Madness, along with others such as Chris Crawford's Macintosh game, Balance of the Planet, help bring environmental issues and educational tools to entertainment. According to Richard O. Mann, "if managing and understanding the delicate balance of the ecological and economic forces that hold our beloved mother earth together appeals to you, you're in for hours of fascination" while playing Balance of the Planet. Spymac caught up with Veggie Games' Johnathan Skinner to find out more about the game and the company's role in activism: How do you think activist video games can change people's actions? Activist video games can open people's eyes to the reasons someone would be an activist, and possibly influence decisions they make surrounding the issues involved. How does purchasing Steer madness over other games help out the environment? The packaging for Steer Madness is a lot less wasteful then most other video games. The boxes that games come in have no purpose other than trying to look impressive on store shelves and they end up just getting thrown away. Steer Madness doesn't come in a box, instead it comes in a jewel case like a music CD. When we ship orders for the game that are placed through our website, we re-use packing materials whenever possible, and all other supplies are purchased locally using the highest percentage recycled content available. We are working on setting up an option where you can purchase a downloadable version of the game that installs directly to your computer so there won't be any packaging or shipping materials used at all. Is this the type of game that would interest children in hopes of having the omnivores converted? I don't know if the game alone could cause people to become vegetarian, but it's definitely a nudge in that direction. If nothing else it will probably get people to grab a veggie burger a little more often. Does Steer Madness promote veganism? Steer Madness does bring up the reasons behind being vegan, but in a non-confrontational way. It's a bit like watching a TV show about vegan activists going about their lives and doing what they do, and if it says something that speaks to the viewer then they might adapt some of it into their lifestyle, but if not then it's still great entertainment. In what way does this game or your company promote environmental responsibility? In Steer Madness the main mode of transportation is by bicycle, and there is a billboard in the game that reads, "Ride your bike for clean air." In one mission the main character is shocked and appauled when he sees his girlfriend in a car, but when he finds out that she's only borrowing it from a friend and that it's electric then he feels better about it. Veggie Games donates a percentage of its profits to organizations that help protect animals and the environment.

« Finns enjoying a walk out on the grasshopper-free ice in -20C weather thanks to St. Urho. »

Today is St. Patrick's Day but yesterday, yesterday was St. Urho's Day, both of which are goofy folklore that have metamorphosed into back-to-back drinking holidays. The only Urho people think of in Finland is the former president, Urho Kekkonen, not the guy who apparently drove the grasshoppers out of Finland in mid-winter and saved the grape harvest. I asked a bunch of people about St. Urho and every one said, "Kekkonen?". There's a statue of Urho in Minnesota where the dedication plate reads:

THE LEGEND OF ST. URHO

One of the lesser known, but extraordinary legends of ages past is the legend of St. Urho-Patron Saint of the Finnish vinyard workers.

Before the last glacial period wild grapes grew with abundance in the area now known as Finland. Archeologists have uncovered evidence of this scratched on the thigh bones of the gieant bears that once roamed northern Europe. The wild grapes were threatened by a plague of grasshoppers until St. Urho banished the lot of them with a few selected Finnish words.

In memory of this impressive demonstration of the Finnish language, Finnish people celebrate on March 16, the day before St. Patrick's day. It tends to serve as a reminder that St. Pat's day is just around the corner and is thus celebrated by squares at sunrise on March 16. Finnish women and children dressed in royal purple and nile green gather around the shores of the many lakes in Finland and chant what St. Urho chanted many years ago.

"HEINASIRKKA, HEINASIRKKA, MENETAALTA HIITEEN."
(Translated: "GRASSHOPPER, GRASSHOPPER, GO AWAY!")

Adult male, (people, not grasshoppers) dressed in green costumes gather on the hills overlooking the lakes, listen to the chant and then kicking out like grasshoppers, they slowly disappear to change costumes from green to purple. The celebration ends with singing and dancing polkas and schottisches and drinking grape juice, though these activities may occur in varying sequences. Color for the day is royal purple and nile green.

SULO HAVUMAKI

The only thing that's green and purple around this time of year is the vomit on the sidewalks. Honest. I found a paper online Ethnic Symbols: Their Role in Maintaining and Constructing Finnish American where the Finnish author tries in earnest to figure out what the American Finns are on about but fails.

Lastly, I will point out that the item St. Urho was ranked as the most controversial item on this list. St. Urho is the fictional Saint of the Finnish Americans who supposedly stopped an invasion of grasshoppers. It seems that there is great debate as to whether St. Urho should be considered a true symbol of Finnishness.

Finnishness? The only Urho these people think of is Kekkonen and he has a fountain. Not to mention where are the vinyards in Finland? In March? This has Hallmark Drinking Holiday written all over it. It is Finnish only in the 'hey, it's cold out, let's go drinking' aspect. :)

Another Finn in the US critques the whole St. Urho's thing which is pretty funny. There are also St. Urho's kitsch for those who really embrace the holiday. I nearly wet my pants reading the Ode to St. Urho which sounds more like some Irish brogue gone wrong more than Finnglish...

Ooksi kooksi coolama vee
Santia Urho is ta poy for me!
He sase out ta hoppers as pig as pirds.
Neffer peefor haff I hurd tose words!

He reely tolt tose pugs of kreen
Braffest Finn I effer seen
Some celebrate for St. Pat unt hiss nakes

He kot tall and trong from feelia sour
Unt ate kala moyakka effery hour.
Tat's why tat kuy could sase toes peetles
What krew as thick as chack bine neetles.

So let's give a cheer in hower pest vay
On Sixteenth of March, St. Urho's Tay.

And then, and then, and then...then there is the Urho carol which is tragic at best....

Urho Boy

(To the tune of Jingle Bells)

Dashing ‘cross the yard
With a pitchfork in one hand,
Urho sees his foe
Munching all his land.

Grapes both green and red
Falling from the vine,
Urho has to get those hoppers
Or there will be no wine.

Oh, Urho boy, Urho boy,
The bravest that we’ve seen
Use the sisu that you’ve got
To get those bugs of green.

Hey!

Urho boy, Urho boy,
Our future’s in your hands.
Stop those hoppers in their tracks
And save our mother land!

So, no, St. Urho's isn't Finnish, not in the least, but drinking holidays are always welcome around here so in that respect it might be adopted someday. And, for those Americans with their pictures taken in front of St. Urho's pub, I regret to inform you that it was named for Kekkonen. :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day :)
