Hoder on Bam earthquake and Iran's
goverment 12/30/2003 01:12 AM
Hossein Derakshan, a native of Tehran who now resides in Canada, posted this today on his English-language blog -- "When people have different needs than the state." Snip:

Nothing could ever show the real sense of diconnectivity and distrust between Iranian people and the Islamic regime, and its deeply dysfunctionality better than a devastating quake. Everywhere you go and every blog you read, there is talk about the political implications of such tragedy going on.

People inside and outside Iran are desperately trying to gather donations, but they don't want to give the money to the government. They'd rather give the aids directly to the International organizations or trusted NGOs and persons in Iran whom they are sure have nothing to do with the regime and its institutions. For instance, Shirin Ebadi, the Nobel laureate has stepped in and announced measures to directly gather people's aids. This amount of distrust and disconnectedness has never been see before.

However, the reason is pretty clear: When a government can run the whole country only by the oil and gas income, it doesn't have to answer its people's needs; it only thinks about its own needs. (In 2004, Iran will have $16 billion revenue from oil export, while it only depends on approximately 18% of citizen's taxes.)

Hoder ponders Ziba Zahra Kazemi

Truth?

Rape, Torture, and Lies An ongoing Canadian saga has a sad new twist today: photojournalist Ziba Zahra Kazemi was likely brutally tortured and raped before her death in Iran in 2003. Arrested after a demonstration, the official Iranian line has been that her death was an accident due to injuries from a fall. The ER doctor who treated her has now spoken out, after being granted refugee status in Canada. Wikipedia has an excellent outline of the entire story.

Hoder ponders what he should do to prevent similar treatment when he returns to Iran. What sort of pressure can help prevent governments from doing such terrible things? Can we help protect Hoder? Hoder says that credentials from a Canadian magazine would help. Can someone help him out?

Persian photobl0g: Those Sexy Iranians 05/10/2004 03:02 PM
Hossein Derakshan says, "I've launched my photoblog, titled "vagrantly." Here's the latest image post, about the Islamic dress code and Nicholas Kristof's New York Times column this weekend about 'sexy Iranians.'"

No one has challenged the cleric's rule more effectively than these young Iranian girls. They have totally changed the Islamic dress code during the past five years. The half-sliced heads of the mannequins are results of Islamic laws that prohibit making identical statues to humans.

Sina Ahmadian points us to the FarsiWeb Project, and corrects my sloppy references to lanugage in Iran on recent posts (1, 2) about blogosphere reaction to the Bam earthquake (now said to have taken 50,000 lives):

I noticed that you have used the word "Farsi" (instead of "Persian") as English equivalent of our language in your web site. I would like to point out that FARSI (which is originally PARSI) is the native name of our language and PERSIAN is its English equivalent; as the native name of German language is 'Deutsch', but we never use 'Deutsch' in place of 'German' in English; or native term of Greek Language is "Ellinika" and always in English we say 'Greek' language, not 'Ellinika' language.

The titles of dictionaries written by several great Persian scholars (eg. Prof. Moein, Prof. Aryanpour, Prof. Baateni, etc.) are "English-Persian Dictionary" not "English-Farsi Dictionary". And the official institution "Farhangestan" (the Academy of Persian language and literature, in Tehran) in an announcement has rejected the use of the word 'Farsi' instead of 'Persian' in English.

According to Dr. Hossein Sameie (visiting linguistics professor of Emory University in Atlanta), "PERSIAN, alongside the name of a language, may be used, as an adjective, for the other aspects of our history and culture. For example, we can speak about 'Persian Literature', 'Persian Gulf', 'Persian Carpet', 'Persian Food'; this way, 'Persian' may be a common concept and function as a link between all aspects of Iranian [Persian] life, including language. 'Farsi' does not have such a characteristic..." And finally, all international brocasting centres (eg. BBC, VOA, DW, etc.) have "Persian Service" not "Farsi Service" -- BBC, VOA, DW, Radio Free Europe, etc.

Thank you, Sina!

Video mashup of Russ Meyer + Hoodoo
Gurus / Persian Rugs

Video mashup of Russ Meyer + Hoodoo
Gurus / Persian Rugs 09/24/2004 11:08 AM
Xeni Jardin: Following up to this week's sad news that sexploitation auteur Russ Meyers has passed away (Link), BoingBoing reader Richard Crepeau says, "Thought I'd spread the word about a Hoodoo Gurus side project called the Persian Rugs. One of their videos uses Russ Meyer clips from Mondo Topless. A nice hybrid between garage rock and camp."

On their website, the band says:

"Music and sex go very well together. For proof, just take a look at the video for the Persian Rugs' new single 'Be A Woman'. The band and director Todd Sheldrick have created the perfect setting for the band's 60's Punk-inspired Primal Rock: strippers and cavemen collide in a 21st Century psychedelic garden of eden. (...) The Rugs got in touch with famed 60's director Russ Meyer, the maker of such films as 'Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!'and Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls' (the latter a direct influence on the Austin Powers movies) and asked for permission to incorporate footage from one of his cult classics, 'Mondo Topless', into their new filmclip. Russ asked to hear the song first, [and] loved it (...)

Link to "Be a Woman" *.asx video in low and hi-res, contains megadoses of kitsch nudity (and shots of vintage '60s electronic equipment). How did those ladies make their humongous breasts do that stuff on rhythm? Weighed down by all that eyeliner, no less?

She's here. We eat breakfast. We talk. We gaze deeply into each other's eyes. We hold hands. We do all the things that people infatuated with each other do.

And we read blogs on the laptop, while munching on the cereals, trying not to drench the keyboard completely in milk.

Are we geeks or what? :-D

The Blogosphere and the Holidays

The Blogosphere and the Holidays 12/20/2003 06:16 AM

First, if this time of year makes you cheerful, have a happy. I'm pretty ambivalent. There are some things I like and some things I don't. I see the pressure to buy for what it is. Pressure, which I don't like, and commercialism, which I also don't like. I love buying nice things, but almost no one knows how to do that for me like I do. I suspect that's true of everyone.

One of the things I like about this time of year is that so many people seem to have a time to do interesting and fun things. It's like everyone gets a mini-sabbatical. It's time to go to a game, to the movies, a museum, out to a long lunch or visit with a few bloggers you haven't stayed in touch with. Next week I'm going to be in NYC. Maybe there will be an opportunity to do some or all of that.

Randy Charles Morin sent a question about this. Does the blogosphere pick up or go on holiday during the holidays? Here's what I said.

1. I don't have any data, but I do have subjectives.

2. The actual flow goes down, around the 25th way down.

3. But the volume of real work goes up, because people have time for projects that require attention or thinking, which they have more of in the coming two-three weeks.

I've done some of my best work in this period in years past. My first two XML projects, siteChanges.xml and scriptingNews format (which became half of RSS 0.91) were hatched in December. Last year in this time period I helped my parents get through a tough time. I was telling my brother yesterday that I have fond memories of this, it gave me a strong sense of purpose, and a sense that I made a difference. That also happened during the holidays last year.

So mostly the holidays are good. I especially like it when stress isn't a big part of it.

Terry Heaton raises an important issue: Many of us tend to be, um, lax about copying copyrighted material onto our own servers so that we can make it more broadly available. At some point, we're going to get sued. Just in case you were looking for something else to worry about......

Reading Brian Greene's New York Times op-ed on the inherent subjectivity of time in a quantum, relativistic universe, I couldn't help be struck by two thoughts. First, Greene fails to mention Peter Galison's excellent recent book on the very same subject of time simultaneity.

Second, and more important, Greene's vision of "kaleidoscopic" time perfectly describes the messy, intersubjective, constantly changing yet enduring nature of information in the emerging blogosphere:


As David Weinberger taught us in Small Pieces Loosely Joined, the Net has deep metaphysical implications for our conception of the world. We're all used to thinking of the Web as the revolutionary development, and it certainly was. But while the Web dramatically lowered the cost of publishing and accessing information, it kept the static and impersonal page metaphor of older media. Weblogs, aided by syndication mechanisms, remove that crutch.

Some day we may look back and identify the rise of blogs, not the Web, as the decisive development that changed our relationship to information... and to each other.

Weblogs are growing up. Last weekend, several hundred members of the ``blogosphere'' got together at Harvard Law School for a one-day conference called BloggerCon. I was glad to see a trend: The gee-whiz stuff of the past is giving way to realistic questions of where the medium is going.

What is wrong with bl0gosphere

What is wrong with bl0gosphere 04/23/2004 08:15 AM

The problem with blogosphere is that it's all too personal, particularly at the ozone layer.  I like practically everyone in it but often it's difficult to post things without giving off unintended bad vibes.  When I have an opinion, I have to say it like I have to fart when I have gas.  But letting one loose can cloud up the room and you know that blogosphere is a really big room where you can't pretend it's someone else.

While some might deny it or might not even be aware of it, there are definitely cliques to which people and even companies belong to or are associated with by themselves or by others.  When I say something negative about something one of them did, I am doing so as if I would offer an advice to a friend, but it's often seen as if I am attacking the clique as a whole.  Even worse, I feel as if I did.

Making the Most of the Blogosphere

Making the Most of the Blogosphere 12/19/2004 03:36 PM

I finally found my notes from last month's talk at the Internet Librarian conference. It was really Greg's show, and he did a fantastic job talking about how to make the most of the blogosphere from an information foraging perspective. (His Powerpoint presentation is here.) He sent me his slides ahead of time, so I knew he had covered all of the bases. Therefore, I decided to talk about the flip side of the coin, making the most of the blogosphere for your library's blog. Here's the abbreviated version.

Dave Sifry and Greg Reinacker are just like me.

If somebody bad mouthed my product, like I did theirs this morning - I'd be all over them like a sticky t-shirt in a hot muggy NYC afternoon.

So I just got off the phone with Mr. Technorati - who straightened me out about my watchlist URL (pointing to my old blog address) and Mr. NewsGator who earlier slapped me around for wrong RSS 1.0 feeds which don't include URLs.

Duh! My bad! Sorry guys! This is my official apology I owe you joints. Or Vodka Gimlets. Or large piles of Spare Ribs.

I had never used a RSS 1.0 feed before, being an XML, old school, Radio kind of guy and between that - and losing my WYSIWYG editing - I've been a cat out of water.

Or a hippo in a rat pack. Or some other sort of weirdo metaphor.

So now my Technorati is rocking and I'm tuned back into who is talking about me and what - and I'm amassing huge stock piles of juicy feeds and learning mroe to sync up my NewsGator.

So in one sense - I had been spoiled - by Paolo and Matt and the eVectors team - and by Radio's simplicty and cleanliness of design.

It's not that MT is badly desigend - it's just that it's for gfeeks. Even TypePad is for geeks. But until I can ship some code that radically changes all this - I'm just gonna shut up and focus on taking baby steps.

Basic DLAs. Basic value added funtionality to humans. Like better nav, integrated designs, coolio UIs. The big stuff comes later.

And for now - I got my Technorati BACK - YAH!

And a rocking aggregator.

Now let's see - how do I set up this Moveable Poster thingie.......
