Children Roll Easter Eggs at White House
(AP)
04/12/2004 12:56 PMAP - Undaunted by the rain, hundreds of children scampered around the
South Lawn of the White House Monday, hugging stuffed bunnies and
rolling colored eggs across the soggy grass in an annual ritual that
dates to the late 1870s when Rutherford B. Hayes was president.

BLOG SILLY EASTER EGG HUNT
04/09/2004 03:59 PM
 Here's
a silly publicity stunt I dreamed up to motivate people to check out
more of the wonderful Salon Blogs. Last night I 'hid' 10 eggs, like
the
one at left, one in each of 10 selected Salon Bloggers' comments
threads. They are numbered 1 to 10
inclusively. The posts in which they are 'hidden' are no more
than one week old (April 2 or more recent). Your challenge is to be
the
first to find them.
When
you do,
come back here and 'claim' the easter egg by posting, in the comments
thread below, which Salon
Blog you found it in, and its number.
Then, when you've claimed it, it's your job to hide another egg, in another Salon Blog comment thread
(remember -- no going back further than April 2 or it gets too hard).
Here's how you do it:
- Select a Salon Blog from this
list or
this
list,
or any other Salon Blog you know of that has been updated since April
2.
- Go to that blog and check to ensure that there aren't
already eggs hidden in the last week's posts' comments on that blog.
Then select one of the comments threads from the last week and type in
(or cut and paste) as your comment
this line of code:
Happy Easter! <img
src="http://blogs.salon.com/0002007/images/egg.gif"> xx
where xx is the number ten
greater
than the egg you found, e.g. if you found egg 7 then the egg you hide
would be 17.
Theoretically, we could end up with an egg in the comments of every
active Salon Blog. Remember, to claim the egg you have to be the first
one to do so in the comments thread
below -- if you e-mailed me about it or commented on it
elsewhere it doesn't count.
This is just for fun -- no prizes, except the discovery of some great,
and underappreciated, blogs. The hunt ends Easter Sunday. Happy
Easter,
everyone.

Save The Children calls on release of

Save The Children calls on release of Iraqi children from jails.
This apparently in response to
recent media
reports on the abuse of children in Iraqi prisons. And it's not
just Save the Children who is concerned, but UNICEF, Amnesty
International, and the Red Cross.
Infact, Congress has called for
a special briefing tomorrow from the Pentagon on
"confidential reports" from the Red Cross on prison
conditions in Iraq. The Pentagon is closing the briefing to the
public, however, and apparently thinks that even Congress shouldn't
know the details of how we treat prisoners.
"It's something of a stretch of policy and procedures
to give them to the Congress," Rumsfeld spokesman
Larry Di Rita said.

This giant Ukrainian Easter Egg (pysanka) was built in 1975 in
Vegreville, Canada by (then) Univ. Utah Computer Science Professor
Ronald Resch. Interesting
egg factoids can be found
here--including that it swivels like a weather vane. Vegreville
has an
annual
festival. More
images of
egg here. The Vegreville Pysanka was the first physical structure
completely designed with computer-aided geometric modeling software.
There is a good
description
here of the complex geometry involved. It's based on a
technique
(PDF) he developed and
patented for folding a flat
material (i.e. sheet metal) into flexible surfaces. Ronald Resch has
had an
interesting career.

Active
Denial System (energy beam) and other
"non-let
hal" weapons, here's a New Scientist feature about the
state-of-the-art in ray guns:
"...the $9000 Close Quarters Shock Rifle projects an
ionised gas, or plasma, towards the target, producing a conducting
channel. It will also interfere with electronic ignition systems and
stop vehicles.
'We will be able to fire a stream of electricity like water out of a
hose at one or many targets in a single sweep,' claims XADS (Xtreme
Alternative Defense Systems) president Peter Bitar."
Amnesty International and other human rights groups are none too
thrilled.

Guns and jets
Guns and jets
03/08/2004 11:03 PMMy friend Brad, a jet pilot with heroic
flying skills, graciously agreed to help me with the
Commercial maneuvers and precision landings today. We hauled
N505WT out of its hangar and headed out to Worcester with the GPS
turned off and the gyro-stabilized compass covered up. Flying
along at 2500' it was actually a bit tough to pick out landmarks from
the VFR chart. After 10 landings we decided it was time for some
of the free cookies that they bake at the Worcester FBO (airplane gas
station) so we taxied into the ramp. The scene was one of utter
desolation. The main terminal building looked empty. The
last scheduled airline flights from Worcester ceased about one year
ago. The general aviation area contained a small collection of
cheap piston-powered airplanes (like mine!). At Bedford,
N505WT's home airport, there is always at least $300 million of
private jets on the ramp, waiting to take hard-working public
corporation executives from golf game to weekend house. The
woman behind the desk confirmed that not a single jet had landed at
Worcester all day.
As we were starting up N505WT a good-sized business jet was taxiing
in. A van drove up to meet the passengers at the side of the $10
million twin-turbojet-powered plane. "What luxury!" we
thought. "This is the only way to travel. They're probably
just back from a resort in Mexico." A couple of guys got out of
the van and walked around the plane wearing guns. Security for
someone important! The one passenger got out, a teenager wearing
a rather plain jumpsuit. Then we noticed that his legs were
chained together...
Yet another thing that America's richest and poorest citizens
share: traveling by private jet.
Oh yes, speaking of guns. A friend from the MIT Media
Lab sent around a home video yesterday. It seems that he
has put the filmmaking skills that he learned there to good use and
has made effective use of the Internet in distributing his
creation. Click right on the following link and then "Save
Target As" before playing from your own hard disk in a separate player
window (100 or 200% size is best): boyhood
dream.
Twenty years ago people talked about Arpanet/Internet leading to an
explosion in video creativity and distribution but it just wasn't
practical with the available bandwidth and percentage of consumers
hooked up. Today all the pieces are in place.

and Reach and Hold That Pose, and Advance to the Next Level
"Ever greater weight loss - rather than a chance to battle bigger
monsters - is one goal for players of Yourself!Fitness, a video game
under development for Microsoft's Xbox. The new title, aimed at women,
features a computer-generated personal trainer who guides users
through a customized set of exercises and diets.
Players must reach certain goals to advance to the next level. The
program creates a fitness plan for each person based on height, weight
and other characteristics. The game's virtual coach, Maya, then guides
users through a subset of 600 possible exercises, congratulating and
encouraging them when they achieve their goals.
The creators of Yourself!Fitness at ResponDesign, a game developer
based in Portland, Ore., think their new title is a natural successor
to exercise videos and DVD's, which continue to sell more than 30
million units a year, the company's co-founder, Ted Spooner,
said....
After the game's release this fall, the company expects to make a
Sony Playstation version available at the end of the year, and to sell
an Xbox Live version in 2005 that will let participants use a wireless
headset to talk to each other during the game.
'Users will be able to create an online community to discuss each
other's accomplishments and chat while working out,' Mr. Spooner said.
'This will be a virtual gym.'
Company executives expect the game, which cost millions to develop,
to sell several hundred thousand units. Assuming that happens,
ResponDesign is ready to create spinoff titles focusing on Pilates and
Yoga." [New York
Times: Technology]
I'm surprised it's taken this long to happen, although I suppose
I'm most surprised that the company didn't start with the
Playstation for its EyeToy
accessory. Hey, you could be
right there in the video with Richard Simmons or Jane Fonda!
