BBC releases Reith Lectures online as
MP3s
04/09/2004 03:54 PM

For those of you who don't know, basically my job at the moment is to be one-half of a rapid-prototyping and R&D unit with Matt Webb over at the part of the BBC that handles the interactive aspects of the BBC's Radio and Music output. The department makes all the websites for the various Radio Networks as well as interactive TV stuff, stuff for mobile phones and - of course - the Radio Player. It's a pretty cool place to work and I'm proud of the work that we've managed to get done there (more on that in the next few months, hopefully).

So at the moment I'm particularly proud of the work that the department is doing. Basically Radio 4 do a series of programmes each year called The Reith Lectures, in which they get a notable thinker to come in and - over a series of lectures - expound upon a particular scientific, political or social theme. This year Wole Soyinka, Nobel Prize-winning poet, is talking about Climate of Fear. Normally - like many BBC radio shows - you can listen to them again via the BBC Radio Player. But this year they're doing something a bit different and I think pretty significant - they're releasing all the lectures as DRM-free MP3 files for people to download. There's more about this over at Dan Hill's site and Matt Jones has written some commentary on it too (Free as in speech). Hopefully it's the first open distribution of many programmes of this kind - enlightening, significant and weighty pieces of work that actually have the potential to make the world a better place - available for free from the BBC. Fingers crossed.

Reith Lectures 2003: The Emerging Mind


Reith Lectures 2003: The Emerging Mind 12/17/2003 06:02 PM
In 1922, a young Scottish engineer called John Reith was appointed General Manager of a fledgling national broadcasting service, known at the time as the British Broadcasting Company. With little experience and without any established purpose to guide him, Reith shaped the growing institution according to his vision of what a public service broadcaster should be. Reith defined the BBC's role as "to bring the best of everything to the greatest number of homes". He maintained that it was the duty of a national broadcaster to make an intellectual contribution to public life. According to his principles and in honour of his work, the BBC inaugurated the Reith Lectures in 1948. Every year a leading figure is invited to deliver a series of public lectures informed by their particular field of expertise. The purpose of the lectures is "to advance public understanding and debate about significant issues of contemporary interest". The first Reith Lectures were given by Bertrand Russell and notable contributors have consented to participate ever since. Former Reith Lecturers include Robert Oppenheimer, JK Galbraith, John Searle, Steve Jones and Edward Said. This year's Reith Lecturer was Professor Vilayanur Ramachandran, Director of the Centre for Brain and Cognition and professor with the Psychology Department and the Neurosciences Programme at the University of California, San Diego.

Bands Promoting Free MP3s Online


Bands Promoting Free MP3s Online 11/11/2003 10:23 PM
Sometimes it's good to be reminded that there are still musicians who can see through all the rhetoric and realize that it might be beneficial to them to offer their music online for free. Bands are coming to terms with the fact that free MP3s work as a promotional tool that brings people out to concerts - which is where they make their money anyway. The rest of the article includes typical quotes from the RIAA, including their favorite line: "you can't compete with free." Of course, that's a lie. You absolutely can compete with free - but you have to offer something worthwhile above what people can get for free, and that's what the industry keeps missing. Besides, the issue isn't really about "competing" with free - but using the free reproduction and distribution of the internet to your advantage. That's what the profiled band ("Q and not U") did. If an up-and-coming band can see that, why can't the industry association?

Xeni Jardin: 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)."

IEEE Releases One-Millionth Online Technology Document
http: //www.ieee.org/products/onlinepubs/news/0104_04.html

The IEEE released its one-millionth online technical document to researchers on 22 January 2004. There are now more than one million full-text technology papers, articles and standards in IEEE Xplore, the delivery system for IEEE online publications. The milestone document, "Novel Frame Buffer Pixel Circuits for Liquid-Crystal-on-Silicon Microdisplays," was published in the January 2004 issue of the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits. The paper was written by IEEE Members Sangrok Lee and James C. Morizio and IEEE Fellow Kristina M. Johnson. The authors are with the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, Pratt School of Engineering, at Duke University in Durham, NC. The paper may be read for free here (Adobe Acrobat Reader required).

"This milestone illustrates IEEE's importance as the primary source for current technical literature." said IEEE publications director Anthony Durniak. "The publications of IEEE's many Societies and Councils cover the breadth of today's technology. With IEEE Xplore, we provide high-tech researchers, scientists, engineers and other users with a single, convenient source for access to the papers and technology standards they need to develop tomorrow's technical innovations. The value of IEEE-published information is demonstrated in the four million downloads requested by users each month." The IEEE online collection of technology articles and papers has grown by more than 25 percent over the last 18 months. This includes more than 80,000 archival backfile documents from 1950-1987 added last year.

IEEE publishes 121 journals and magazines and more than 400 conference proceedings titles each year and has 900 active technology standards. All of this information is available to researchers as full-text documents through the IEEE Xplore online delivery system. IEEE Xplore also delivers journals and conference proceedings from the IEE, the Institution of Electrical Engineers, headquartered in the United Kingdom.

Access to IEEE online documents is available through institutional subscriptions, by individual online article purchase, or through subscriptions available to IEEE members.

Pay To Have Your CDs Turned Into MP3s


Pay To Have Your CDs Turned Into MP3s 01/26/2004 12:42 PM
I've mentioned before that I'm still a bit behind on using digitized music, as it seems like quite a chore to rip all my CDs. It's been something of an ad hoc process. Every once in a while, when I want to listen to a specific CD and have the music stored on my computer, I'll rip that CD. However, ripping them all (over 1,000) seems like quite a process. That said, I'm still not sure I'd be interested in a service that would rip your CDs into MP3s for you. Still, it appears plenty of people are interested and are paying about a dollar per CD to have the process done. While the service was originally intended for DJs, many people are apparently signing up to have their personal collections ripped as well. Of course, you have to wonder how sustainable this business is. You certainly aren't going to have many repeat customers.

More on "Why can't the BBC play MP3s?" 06/13/2004 12:56 AM
Following up on this earlier BoingBoing post about the curious tale of Rodeohead MP3s, BoingBoing, and the BBC -- reader and geek sleuth Rupert Goodwins says, "I asked Mike Todd, one of BBC Radio's Broadcast Duty Managers, what was with that MP3 ban on the wireless. He said:
"A lot depends on the amount of compression in the original MP3, but the CD-R request would be either to allow a linear version to be supplied, or a very much less compressed version. Every time lossy-compressed audio goes via a lossy part of the chain it gets worse (depending, of course, on the original level of compression and the type of audio)."

A BH studio to the FM transmitter network is not a problem, but it is when it goes to DAB/Freeview/Dsat ... and then the studio itself may be being sourced via a lossy ISDN (as indeed Peel is). Add these together and the results could be dreadful ... therefore there's a policy to (a) not use MP3s unless editorial imperatives demand it and there is absolutely no other way, (b) not us Minidiscs except in certain circumstances and (c) have computer playout systems working with linear audio.

BoingBoing reader Rupert continues:

"There we have it. DAB is the European terrestrial digital radio system, Freeview is the UK's digital terrestrial TV system which has multiple radio channels too, and DSat is the digital satellite system. There's one heck of a lot of digital broadcasting round these parts, each with its own compression system, and that's before you start to worry about the streaming stuff on the Net."

[Xeni speaking again here]. I'm still not sure that explains it. The BoingBoing reader who pointed John Peel to the Rodeohead MP3s says that when he learned Peel couldn't play the MP3s, he burned them to CD, sent them to Peel at the BBC, and they aired on Peel's show shortly thereafter. So, either (a) the issue was that Peel's show was simply unable to deal with downloading, storing, and playing digital files (but popping a CD in a player was no prob), or (b) the above theory is true, and Peel's show obtained and then aired a non-lossy version of the material, from someone other than this BoingBoing reader.

Abbie Hoffman MP3s


Abbie Hoffman MP3s 04/04/2005 06:25 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: Steal this LP: here's Abbie Hoffman's 1969 record album, Wake Up America! in MP3 format.

This reminded me of the time I met Hoffman. It was around 1985 or 1986, when Carla and I went to a 1960s conference in San Francisco. (Tom Robbins, Timothy Leary, Paul Krassner, and so on, were there. We went mainly to see Leary.)

Some reporter from a paper up in Marin or Sonoma spotted us and decided to write an article about us -- still not sure why. Anyway, he insisted on introducing us to Abbie Hoffman, who was there. I think he had recently come out of hiding. I hate meeting famous people in situations like this, and I wasn't looking forward to meeting but Carla and I meekly went along at the reporter's insistence. Hoffman was standing in the lobby, looking very grumpy. We were introduced, and he gruffly shook our hands, but avoided eye contact. He then announced to us, without looking at any of us, that he needed to find a payphone to get the score to a ball game, because he had money riding on the outcome. He walked away without saying anything else.

I don't blame him for not wanting to be bothered, but I learned something. To this day, when I have the opportunity to meet a famous person, I almost always decline. I usually don't have anything to say to them and they don't have anything to say to me.

Cyberterrorism Lecture


Cyberterrorism Lecture 03/24/2005 04:41 PM

I had the chance to attend a lecture last night by Marcus Ranum on the subject of cyberterrorism. Ranum is the author of the book The Myth of Homeland Security.

Upon my arrival I quickly realized that I was entering a room full of college age kids and was in the minority of people over the age of thirty. Rannum began his lecture with stories of his experiences with airport security and how he really does feel any safer today than he did prior to 9/11. He than began to talk about hypothetical situations or pranks that one could pull in order to cause the TSA (Transportation Safety Administration) a headache. I wonder how many of the college students in attendance may actually try some of his ideas out. It was at this point I began to wonder when he was going to start talk about cyberterrorism.

Ranum followed up his opening statements with what I can only describe as a rant of the obvious. He pointed out the bureaucratic mess that was caused as a result of 9/11. He reiterated the failures in the intelligence communities that have been well document over the past couple of years. I was glad to hear Mr. Ranum clearly state that he was not politically motivated and was happy to point out the failures on both sides of the aisle.
He made it a point to show specific portions of the Patriot Act that are clearly written as political pork as opposed to security. Ranum also repeatedly said do not take his word as the truth and encourage everyone to do their own research.

With twenty minutes left in the lecture the topic of cyberterrorism was finally touched upon. Ranum pointed out that the twenty-seven intelligence agencies on the US do not have compatible systems and still cannot share their data. Yes, this is a weakness and has been known for some time. He also stated that he does not feel that a large scale or coordinated attack would succeed against the IT infrastructure of the US. His thoughts are that this type of attack would only be a bump in the road.

While I was disappointed that the topic of cyberterrorism was only covered for a small fraction of the time the overall lecture was worth the time spent. I have not read Mr. Ranum’s book however, I plan on purchasing it.

To learn more about Marcus Ranum you can visit his website.

"People who have lots of choices, who can 'roll their own' (as Dan Gillmor says) don't like to be lectured to. Just by staying the same news sounds today more like a lecture because it gets compared to stuff that doesn't sound that way at all. You know sometimes a crisis in authority is tonal..."

A lecture on the development of the New
York City subway
05/20/2004 10:00 AM

Tomorrow night (Thursday) at the New York Public Library there's a free lecture on The Development of the New York City Subway System that sounds interesting.

Transit Historian Peter Derrick will discuss why New York City needed an extensive rapid transit system, the political and financial difficulties in getting new lines built, and the impact the subways had on the growth of the city and the well being of its population. The focus will be on the largest stage of subway expansion, the 1913 Dual System of Rapid Transit, under which most of the existing IRT and BMT lines were constructed.

Free. From 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM.Science, Industry and Business Library, 188 Madison Avenue, New York.

Cory Doctorow: The BBC Radio 4 Reith Lectures are an annual series of fascinating, thematically linked learned talks. This year's theme is "The Triumph of Technology." The series kicks off tomorrow. Last year, the Reith Lectures were available as downloadable MP3s; the site is vague on whether they'll repeat it ("Lecture audio and transcripts will be available after each broadcast"), but I've got high hopes.
Lecture 1: Technology will Determine the Future of the Human Race

Lecture 2: Collaboration

Lecture 3: Innovation and Management

Lecture 4: Nanotechnology and Nanoscience

Lecture 5: Risk and Responsibility
