BoingBoing reader Mack says:

Excellent pictures on this site! A USC roboticist has created a robot that can build large structures by extruding semi-liquid material from a pump in inch-thick layers to form a wall or a building, and then return to fill in the hollow wall. This looks like a macro version of 3-D prototyping in that you could essentially set up a machine, fill it with the right goo and programming, switch it on, and have a house in a few hours that was built completely without the intervention of human hands.

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).

« 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 :)

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.

1 Million Free Songs for Download 07/29/2004 03:28 PM

In my experience, most of the RIAA-hating nerds who swear they'll never to buy another album again continue to download copyrighted, RIAA-financed music from less-than-legal sources (and I've done it, too, so simmer down). What's crazy, though, is that if you really don't want to bend any laws, there is a wealth of free music online -- and The Red Ferret Journal just set up a Wiki (a user-edited web page) to make it even easier. There are hundreds of thousands of freely downloadable songs on the websites listed (some of them are even not techno) and thousands more non-RIAA-backed labels selling songs, too -- so if you really want to fill up that iPod without "stealing music," you do have an option to do so.

Mainly, though, I just wanted you to feel extra guilty when you download RIAA music anyway.

Stross's magnificent ACCELERANDO as a
free CC download

Stross's magnificent ACCELERANDO as a
free CC download 06/17/2005 03:35 PM
Cory Doctorow: Charlie Stross's brilliant novel Accelerando is available as a free Creative Commons download! This novel collects and bridges all of his Hugo-nominated Manfred Macx stories, published over the last several years in Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine. Charlie is a wild talent, and he writes like the love-child of Vernor Vinge, Neal Stephenson and Hunter S Thompson. Once you start this book, you won't be able to stop.

Manfred's on the road again, making strangers rich.

It's a hot summer Tuesday, and he's standing in the plaza in front of the Centraal Station with his eyeballs powered up and the sunlight jangling off the canal, motor scooters and kamikaze cyclists whizzing past and tourists chattering on every side. The square smells of water and dirt and hot metal and the fart-laden exhaust fumes of cold catalytic converters; the bells of trams ding in the background, and birds flock overhead. He glances up and grabs a pigeon, crops the shot, and squirts it at his weblog to show he's arrived. The bandwidth is good here, he realizes; and it's not just the bandwidth, it's the whole scene. Amsterdam is making him feel wanted already, even though he's fresh off the train from Schiphol: He's infected with the dynamic optimism of another time zone, another city. If the mood holds, someone out there is going to become very rich indeed.

He wonders who it's going to be.

* * *

Manfred sits on a stool out in the car park at the Brouwerij 't IJ, watching the articulated buses go by and drinking a third of a liter of lip-curlingly sour gueuze. His channels are jabbering away in a corner of his head-up display, throwing compressed infobursts of filtered press releases at him. They compete for his attention, bickering and rudely waving in front of the scenery. A couple of punks – maybe local, but more likely drifters lured to Amsterdam by the magnetic field of tolerance the Dutch beam across Europe like a pulsar – are laughing and chatting by a couple of battered mopeds in the far corner. A tourist boat putters by in the canal; the sails of the huge windmill overhead cast long, cool shadows across the road. The windmill is a machine for lifting water, turning wind power into dry land: trading energy for space, sixteenth-century style. Manfred is waiting for an invite to a party where he's going to meet a man he can talk to about trading energy for space, twenty-first-century style, and forget about his personal problems.

He's ignoring the instant messenger boxes, enjoying some low-bandwidth, high-sensation time with his beer and the pigeons, when a woman walks up to him, and says his name: "Manfred Macx?"

He glances up. The courier is an Effective Cyclist, all wind-burned smooth-running muscles clad in a paean to polymer technology: electric blue lycra and wasp yellow carbonate with a light speckling of anti collision LEDs and tight-packed air bags. She holds out a box for him. He pauses a moment, struck by the degree to which she resembles Pam, his ex-fiance.
