The availability of refurbished desktops and laptops at a discount isn't a new thing. But the rapid pace of computing evolution means that even a computer that's six or nine months old is more than ready for most home-computing tasks. By Wayne Rash, Washington Post (via MyAppleMenu)

Brooklyn residents: just say no to space

Brooklyn residents: just say no to space
elevators! 02/01/2005 08:37 PM
Xeni Jardin: Boing Boing reader Max Clarke says,

Recently on my blog, I put up an image of a mysterious flyer being posted in Williamsburg, Brooklyn (where, in recent years, community activists have fought real estate developers' plans to build luxury high-rises, and the city's plans to site trash facilities and power plants on the waterfront). The flyer is a masterful parody of all this. It reads:

"WILLIAMSBURG DOESN'T NEED A SPACE ELEVATOR! The Space Elevator Will Mean: Less Parking, Weird Ribbon Thing, Constant Loud Whirring Noise, Increased Space Elevator Truck Traffic. Developers have submitted plans to build a massive space elevator in Williamsburg! This monstrosity, completely out of context with existing development in the neighborhood, will be accessible only to the wealthy, forcing thousands of average Williamsburgers from their homes and live-work spaces! Jobs the elevator will generate (operators, repairmen, astronauts) are certain to go to non-residents! Don't sit idly by and let this elevator cast its impossibly long, cold, and very narrow shadow over our homes! CALL 311 AND TELL THEM 'I JUST DON'T NEED THIS SPACE ELEVATOR!'"

The flyer is credited to F.E.T.S.E.o.t.N (Fight Extremely Tall Space Elevators on the Northside), and includes the URL of an anti-space-elevator-in-Williamsburg Yahoo group.

Link. See also this proposed NYC rezoning plan, which includes a number of proposed 8-35 story luxury complexes in a currently working-class neighborhood with an average building height of 3 stories. Link. While this flyer is most certainly a joke, space elevators are not -- at least for some. Link (thanks for the reminder, Dr. Setebos)

Barnaby Whitfield gallery show in
Brooklyn

Barnaby Whitfield gallery show in
Brooklyn 04/19/2005 11:05 AM
David Pescovitz: My old friend Barnaby Whitfield is a pastel artist in New York City and member of the prestigious White Columns Curated Artist Registry. Barnaby's solo exhibition "Whore With Red Cheeks" opens this Friday, April 22, at the 31GRAND gallery in Brooklyn's Williamsburg:

An unabashed and unapologetic pastel artist with an obsessive nature toned in kitsch and pith; Whitfield creates a personal mythology within an art historical context.

Growing up the child of a politician and an educator in south Florida, Whitfield found himself at the age of 6 living in the master suite of a haunted Antebellum Mansion on an abandoned horse farm. The former owner, and now ghost, Norma, had succumbed to madness for the last ten years of her life. It was said she often walked to the end of the circular drive waving with undergarments fastened to the outside of her clothes. But it was inside the house that her madness truly reined, where she had stuffed her rooms with worthless discards. Whitfield’s family found the former master suite’s, pink and maroon tiled, bathroom, stuffed with lipsticks even filling the toilet bowl; permanently streaking it in the waxy reds his Mother and Father kept in memoriam...

RNC protests: Brooklyn Orgastic Politics
Collective 08/29/2004 02:07 PM
Xeni Jardin: Color me jaded, but this call for a citywide "quivering saturnalia" to protest the RNC sounds more like an excuse to perv out in public, and less like actual political protest. But, hey, what do I know about Reichian energetics? Fleshbot says,

If the skies are dark over New York City next week during the Republican National Convention, it may be due to the cloudbusting efforts of the Brooklyn Orgastic Politics Collective, who plan to combat the "Deadly Orgone Energy (DOR)" of Dubya and company with ... uh, something based on the theories of Wilhelm Reich ("Metaphorically speaking, our September 2nd project will be an attempt to give the sky a blowjob...")

Brooklyn Daily Eagle Soars Onlilne

The Brooklyn Daily Eagle, founded in 1841, had the distinction of being the most widely read afternoon newspaper in the U.S. during the Civil War. After it ceased publication in 1955, the paper's morgue and related files were donated to the Brooklyn Public Library, but access to this vibrant collection of stories, photos and illustrations was limited to a few microfilm editions and fewer still print holdings. In 2001 the Brooklyn Library launched an extensive digitization project encompassing the years 1841-1902, funded through a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and beta testing of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle Online [www.brooklynpublicli brary.org/eagle] began in March 2003. The site was an immediate hit, accommodating an average of 60,000 visits a month. As expected, many visitors have used the site to track down genealogical information, but the library has also used the collection to provide access to primary documents on Civil War-era Brooklyn and African-American women's history to K-12 students. The library is now considering a second project to digitize the 1902-1955 issues, but must first grapple with the copyright implications for newspapers printed after 1923, as well as the significant increase in per-issue page volume in later years. More information on the project can be found at
