| Labels may be losing money, but artists are making more than ever Posted: 13 Nov 2009 03:41 AM PST The Times Labs blog takes a hard look at the data on music sales and live performances and concludes that while the labels' profits might be falling, artists are taking in more money, thanks to the booming growth of live shows. The Times says that they'd like more granular data about who's making all the money from concerts -- is there a category of act that's a real winner here? -- but the trend seems clear. The 21st century music scene is the best world ever for some musicians and music-industry businesses, and the worst for others. Which raises the question: is it really copyright law's job to make sure that last years winners keep on winning? Or is it enough to ensure that there will always be winners?

| Internet ghost-towns: the blocked IPs where the bad guys used to live Posted: 13 Nov 2009 03:33 AM PST When a block of IP addresses or a collection of domain names becomes associated with bad action -- spamming, jabbering, denial-of-servicing -- various ad-hoc Internet groups will add it to a blacklist of "rogue IPs" or "badware domains" that are blocked at a very low level in the network. The problem is that there doesn't seem to be any way to readily diffuse an "all clear" signal to everyone who follows along with this block, which means that gradually, the net is acquiring "slums" -- blocks of useful space that can't be occupied by legitimate users because someone bad once lived there and now no one will accept their traffic. The Washington Post's Security Fix visits this question -- it's a compelling problem when you think of it. Bad actors will continue to move from blocked IPs to fresh ones, and if we never release the blocked sections, eventually we'll have shut down a very large chunk of IP space indeed. "The problem is once an address block gets so polluted and absorbed into all these blocklists, it's difficult to get off all of them because there is no central blocking authority," said Paul Ferguson, an advanced threat researcher at Trend Micro. "That space won't be toxic for all time to come, but certainly it is going to be tainted for whoever ends up with it..."A year later: A look back at McColo (via /.) |
| To the anonymous gay teen who asked for help in a Boing Boing comment thread Posted: 12 Nov 2009 09:22 PM PST  [PHOTO: "Jessie," a CC-licensed image by LeTiger.] A few weeks ago, I blogged a funny video created by a Canadian high-school student titled "Hiding Your Sexual Orientation From Your Parents 101." One of the many people who commented on that post was an anonymous commenter who wrote: Ok, my parents found out i was gay by myspace (which i regret for putting my sexual orientation) and my parents will never accept cause my parents are really realigous for our christianity. They are so realigous, that i'm now homeschooled and going to a private school. Also i have no internet unless for emergencies, no friends houses, no phone, no boy friends til i'm 18. The only times i can get out is to christian youth groups so i have no life for the next 5 years ( cause i'm 13). Oh and my parents think all the wrong things in the world about gays, they even use the gay f word. I need help and i'm typing this from my PS3 cause they don't know it has internet. HELP!!! =OIt's hard for jaded internet people like me to know when someone's pulling your leg online, but I'll take this one at face value. So, Dear Anonymous: Boy, that sucks. I don't have a way of contacting you privately, so I'll say it to the world. You are fine just as you are. There is nothing wrong with being gay, and everything right with being true to yourself, no matter who tries to tell you otherwise. But being gay and a teen is very hard when your family isn't cool with it. My friend Maggie suggests that you might want to check out these helplines and Web resources, so you can talk to someone who can help you sort stuff out: ♦ amplifyyourvoice.org (a teen LGBTQ site) If you are reading this post, Anonymous, I bet some other people will be writing suggestions for other good resources in the comments. Check them out. Good luck. There are many of us in the world who welcome you just as you are. Don't believe anyone who tells you that who you are is anything less than beautiful. Keep your head held high, little happy mutant. |
| Make an audiobook, get an audiobook science fiction challenge Posted: 12 Nov 2009 07:40 PM PST  Rick sez, "SFFaudio has just announced their 4th Annual Make an Audiobook, Get an Audiobook Challenge. They have twenty Science Fiction and Fantasy titles of public domain and Creative Commons novels that they'd like to see freely available as audiobooks on the internet. They're looking for participants to commit to recording and editing the sound files and then making them available online. At that point they will get to choose a free audiobook for a prize. But the real prize is the satisfaction of creating a creative work that can be shared with all. Previous SFFaudio Challenges have generated some great audiobooks of classic and obscure titles that would otherwise be unavailable in audio. This year's challenges has a variety of authors including Jack London, Mack Reynolds, James E. Gunn and many others." The 4th Annual SFFaudio Challenge (Thanks, Rick!) |
| Current TV axes 80 staffers, cuts shows, changes direction. Posted: 12 Nov 2009 06:54 PM PST Current TV lets go 80 employees, cancels some shows. Programming head David Neuman (former D<N exec) is out, a new CEO from MTV is in. Coverage: Variety, SF Chron + LAT. Quote: "As much as you might want to change the world, sometimes there is not that much you can change -- particularly when you are dealing with the world of television." |
| CNN ends a web news experiment Posted: 12 Nov 2009 06:33 PM PST CNN laid off its four web video anchors today and announced that continuous live video production for CNN.com will end. Thus dies "one of the Internet's biggest news experiments." (NYT, via Andrew Baron) |
| Comcast: TV Everywhere, and a possible $30 billion NBC buyout Posted: 12 Nov 2009 06:20 PM PST More details out today on Comcast's "TV Everywhere" service launching in December. "Yes, this does still count against the 250GB monthly cap if used at home and still no word on HD streaming." Related: NYT on Comcast's $30 billion takeover bid for NBC Universal.

| "Sixth Sense Technology" Will Be Open Source Posted: 12 Nov 2009 06:21 PM PST My husband called me last night all a-twitter and once I got him talking slow enough to understand that he wasn't going on about "six pennies", I could sympathize with the high level of enthusiasm. Earlier this year, "Sixth Sense Technology" from MIT---basically, a visual interface system that allows you and the computer in your cell phone to communicate in some truly astounding ways---was a big hit at TED. This week, at TED India, inventor Pranav Mistry announced that the technology will be released as open source...in a matter of months.

| YouTube will soon support 1080HD Posted: 12 Nov 2009 06:05 PM PST I attended a YouTube roundtable in San Francisco yesterday, and learned of many features coming soon, including this: Starting next week, YouTube's HD mode will add support for viewing videos in 720p or 1080p. In this blog post, see how much this enhances one's experience of a dog's snout. |
| Do you understand my first-grade child's homework? Posted: 12 Nov 2009 05:03 PM PST  My six-year-old told me she doesn't understand her homework. After studying it for 15 minutes, I *think* I understand what she's supposed to do, but I'd like a second opinion. |
| Home made Russian water purifier Posted: 12 Nov 2009 04:58 PM PST  Take a look at this crazy home water purification system created by a 68-year-old retired engineer. Above: "magnetic bottle. Plastic bottle with a magnet (I used magnets for the refrigerator). Here are removed from the water surplus of some metals." Below: "Fig.6 Capacitance cereal saturation.

| PopSci's "Best of What's New" in 2009 list Posted: 12 Nov 2009 04:46 PM PST Ah, year's end is nigh -- no, I'm not talking about turkey discounts or Christmas retail displays. Must be the season of the list! PopSci's "Best of What's New," 2009 list includes that beautiful all-glass TKTS building in Times Square, biodegradable fungus, and a telescope designed to find Earth-like planets. |

| Woman accidentally buys wrapping paper covered with swastikas Posted: 12 Nov 2009 03:25 PM PST A woman in Florida bought a bunch of wrapping paper for Christmas at a dollar store and when she brought it home, she noticed that one of the rolls had swastikas on it. The manager of the store said the paper was made in China and he didn't know about the swastikas. |
| Time lapse of Babytattooville 2009 Art Jam painting Posted: 12 Nov 2009 03:32 PM PST  A cool website called Sketch Theatre (which features time lapse videos of artists at work) posted their video of the Babytattooville 2009 Art Jam painting session, which ran for about two days and nights. The early fall brought a spectacular event called Baby Tattooville. It's organized annually by the publisher of Baby Tattoo books, Bob Self. One weekend and a countless assortment of top talent from the local art scene. This year brought a congregation of James Gurney, Michael Hussar, Audrey Kawasaki, Travis Louie, Molly Crabapple, Elizabeth McGrath, Miss Mindy, Johnny "KMNDZ" Rodriguez, KRK Ryden, Tara McPherson, Gris Grimly, Tim Biskup, Gary Baseman, Yoskay Yamamoto , Nate Frizzell, Luke Chueh, Jeff Soto, Lithium Picnic, and many more.Babytattooville 2009 Art Jam painting Previously: |

| Slo-mo dread flip: video celebrating spectacular hair Posted: 12 Nov 2009 12:59 PM PST My friend T.Bias, a composer and experimental media artist who also happens to have spectacular hair, says, I flipped my dreadlocks in front of an exceptional high-speed camera shooting on the low end of its abilities; a mere 6,800fps. k0re happened to be there to record the event in realtime which is great for comparison. I edited it to my song, "Rag Tag Flag", from my Hooks'n'Heels project.Enjoy. |
| Nanodreadlocks inspired by sea urchins Posted: 12 Nov 2009 12:44 PM PST   Above left are "nanobristles" inspired by the surface of sea urchins. Harvard materials scientist Joanna Aizenberg makes them out of resin. Each strand is about 100 nanometers in diameter, or 1000 times thinner than a human hair. Eventually, this stunning example of biomimicry could lead to a new kind of glue or drug delivery system. From Technology Review: (The nanobristles) spontaneously curl into a precise array of helical bundles when immersed in an evaporating liquid. AAizenberg likens the phenomena to the way wet, curly hair clumps together and coils to form dreadlocks...Mimicking the Building Prowess of Nature |
| Posted: 12 Nov 2009 12:31 PM PST  This crazy-looking dress, created by two designers in London for the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, is made of silk chiffon and 24,000 full color LEDs. It's called the Galaxy Dress. It runs on tiny iPod batteries woven into the fabric so no one part becomes extra-bulky or heavy. The catch: it uses as much electricity as two light bulbs and will only stay lit for up to an hour. Designer duo create a dress with 24,000 LEDS |
| Paintbrush mural and other new Guinness Records Posted: 12 Nov 2009 12:45 PM PST  Albanian artist Saimir Strati used 233,000 paintbrushes on end to create this portrait of Michael Jackson. I don't think it looks too much like Jacko, but it's still an interesting artwork and it earned him a Guinness World Record for the largest paintbrush mosaic: 10m x 2.6m mosaic. It was part of Guinness World Records Day where hundreds of thousands of people tried to break a variety of unusual records. You'll be thrilled to learn that Jim Lyngvild now holds the record for the fastest time to peel and eat three lemons: 28.5 seconds. See a gallery of images from the day at The Guardian.

| The Edge Case: Indies Rally To Raise Copyfight Awareness Posted: 12 Nov 2009 12:21 PM PST  The story of Tim Langdell's relentless and darkly fascinating trademark fight against any and all users of the name 'Edge' has been quietly storming under the surface for the better part of this year. In a nutshell: Langdell's Edge Games, a UK-based publisher in the earliest days of home computer games, has tirelessly struggled to maintain ownership over the word against any would-be competitor, regardless of discipline, growing more convoluted and ludicrous the farther down the rabbit hole you go (the Chaos Edge blog is the most damning at documenting just how bizarre it's become).  For nearly two decades, it seemed to work. Edge Games successfully struck settlements with movie and comic book companies, further strengthening his grip on the four-letter word, but then Langdell attempted to swat down what should have been his easiest target: tiny French indie developer Mobigame, and their iPhone debut, titled, of course, Edge (pictured left). After successfully managing to get the game removed from the App Store, Langdell butted up against what could prove to be his downfall: the collective, unshakable 'might' of the indie game community, who've coalesced around the Mobigame struggle and mounted reams of evidence and circumstantial quotes about Langdell's business practices in his early days, seeking to shred the paper tiger and expose what little claim Edge Games has over the trademark. Now with the legal might of no less than Electronic Arts behind them (who recently filed this scathing suit against Edge Games after Langdell seemed to be targeting EA's Mirror's Edge, using much of the evidence gathered by the indies), and with Edge Games now having successfully convinced Apple to remove Killer Edge Racing from the App Store, the indie community has served its latest sardonic volley against Langdell, rallying together to show support for 'the fallen' by incorporating the name into their own games. Below, then, a gallery of all the participants' parodies. Whether the 'troll day' has any effect other than situation-awareness and to what end the community will take its efforts remains to be seen, but either way it's a heartening reminder of the size and solidarity of the indie games movement.
Derek Yu modifies his Spelunky with its new name, and a pixel-caricature of Edge Games' owner.
Steph Thirion's iPhone debut Eliss gains an added dimension to give the game more, well, edges.
Effing Hail designer Greg Wohlwend and Closure creator Tyler Glaiel introduce their latest work and company name.
Recently featured Toronto dev Capybara announce a title switch for their game previously known as Critter Crunch.
Also recently featured Canabalt creator Adam Saltsman unveils the largest of the efforts: a new website for Atomic Edge Games, pitch perfectly capturing the spirit of Langdell's amateur site-development skills, and following suit by renaming his games and using, as does Langdell, assets from pre-existing works to promote them.
Austria's Broken Rules (now to be known as Broken Edge) converts their PC/soon-to-be WiiWare game And Yet It Moves to its new name.
Mike Kasprzak modifies his iPhone debut game Smiles down to the level of each mode.
Art game master Messhof announces his latest work.
Dejobaan take their already unlikely named game AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! -- A Reckless Disregard for Gravity to new heights.
And finally, Fez creators Polytron unveil their decision to re-introduce their game as Fedge. To learn more about the Edge Games vs. The World efforts, visit the Chaos Edge blog, TIGSource's roundup of the ongoing story, and Simon Parkin's Eurogamer feature laying out just how this all began. |
| Holy water dispensers to combat swine flu Posted: 12 Nov 2009 11:56 AM PST No, this isn't about holy water as a miracle swine flu vaccine. Rather, some Catholic churches in Italy are replacing holy water basins with more sanitary electronic dispensers that spurt out a single serving of the magical fluid. From The Telegraph: Holy water dispenser combats spread of swine flu |
| Goldwag: Cranks, Curiosities, and the Process Church Posted: 12 Nov 2009 10:37 PM PST Guestblogger Arthur Goldwag is the author of "Cults, Conspiracies, and Secret Societies: The Straight Scoop on Freemasons, The Illuminati, Skull and Bones, Black Helicopters, The New World Order, and many, many more" and other books.  Charles P. Peirce's bestseller IDIOT AMERICA: HOW STUPIDITY BECAME A VIRTUE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE includes a wonderful portrait of Ignatius L. Donnelly (1831-1901), the lawyer, US Congressman, founder of a failed Utopian city, and bestselling author of three influential books: ATLANTIS: THE ANTEDILUVIAN WORLD (1882), which sparked the Atlantis mania that continues to this day, RAGNAROK: THE AGE OF FIRE AND GRAVEL (1883), which anticipated Immanuel Velikovsky's WORLDS IN COLLISION (1950) by more than half a century by attributing a world-wide deluge that sank Atlantis and wiped out the world's Mammoths to a near-collision with a comet (TRIVIA QUIZ: Can you guess what other pseudo-scientific classic was published in 1950? ANSWER: L. Ron Hubbard's DIANETICS), and then in 1889, THE GREAT CRYPTOGRAM, which argued that Francis Bacon wrote Shakespeare's plays and scattered clues to his authorship throughout them. Pierce considers the wildly creative, fiercely productive, and swiftly-forgotten Donnelley to be one of America's great cranks. "Cranks are noble," Peirce says, "because cranks are independent. A charlatan is a crank who sells out." It's like the difference between kitsch and dreck--people who make kitsch are sincere. Cynical purveyors of political and cultural dreck like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh know better--they're in it for the money and the power and the fame. Writing CULTS, CONSPIRACIES, AND SECRET SOCIETIES, I learned about a lot of truly terrible people with really disturbing ideas (Charles Manson, the white supremacist David Lane, Canada's Roch "Moses" Thériault spring to mind); I also encountered some monsters who preached only good things (Jim Jones, Bhagwan Rajneesh). But the people who made the deepest impressions on me and stayed with me the longest were the Cranks. Koreshanity, the religio-political-pseudoscientific cult founded by Dr. Cyrus Read Teed (1839-1908), who believed that we don't live on the exterior of our planet but within it, on its "inner habitable surface of land and water," led me to a whole nineteenth century literature on hollow earth theory. Because Google digitized books in the public domain first, I was able to find some really rare volumes without even leaving my desk, such as William E. Lyon's THE HOLLOW GLOBE, OR, THE WORLD'S AGITATOR AND RECONCILER (1873), a portmanteau of science, mediumship, and Manifest Destiny, which looks forward to our colonization of the planet's inner frontier. I spent some time with Edward Bulwer-Lytton's novel VRIL: THE POWER OF THE COMING RACE (1871) too. Theosophists wrote about Vril--a mysterious form of energy--as though it were real, as did members of Thule, a German occult racialist society. In 1960 Louis Pawels and Jacques Bergier wrote a book called LE MATIN DES MAGICIENS that claimed that something called the Vril Society was Thule's inner circle; in the 1970s, a holocaust denier named Ernst Zundel, who sold an English translation of the book through his publishing house, announced an expedition to Antarctica to search for Nazi-built Vril-powered UFO bases (it never got off the ground). Zundel is currently serving a prison sentence in Germany for inciting racial hatred.
Michael Mountain, the president of Best Friends and an original Processean, played down the group's loucher aspects in the interview he granted, but there you have it. The Best Friends Animal Society of Angel Canyon, Utah, nationally known for its pet rescue efforts in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, its Best Friends magazine, and the National Geographic TV show Dogtown, was originally incorporated as a doomsday cult. From sitars and death-trips to adorable puppies and kittens, in just twenty five years. As Mark Twain said, "Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't." |
| A Peek Inside a 17th-Century Guide to Magic Tricks Posted: 12 Nov 2009 11:24 AM PST The title is a mouthful: Hocus Pocus Junior The anatomy of legerdemain. Or, The art of iugling set forth in his proper colours, fully, plainly, and exactly; so that an ignorant person may thereby learn the full perfection of the same, after a little practise. The publication date is 1634. Although it's the earliest book devoted to magic as a performing art, it apparently takes its text almost exactly from a 1584 book called The Discoverie of Witchcraft. The Witchcraft book was meant to be a debunking text, proving to people that witches didn't exist and, thus, that we shouldn't go about condemning other people for witchcraft. Hocus Pocus Junior took the chapters on sleight of hand and slightly (heh) reworked them as an instructional manual. Comparing Hocus Pocus Junior and the Discoverie of Witchcraft at Early Modern Whale. Thanks to Holly Tucker! Previously: |
| Antony Gormley - let's all go barefoot Posted: 12 Nov 2009 10:54 AM PST Artist Antony Gormley took his shoes off a year ago and hasn't put them on since. He recommends it to others as a world changing idea. Artist Antony Gormley advocates we all give up shoes and go barefoot to get closer to our planet. With naked feet you can actually feel global warming. He has gone barefoot for a year and says that if you dispense with shoes you can appreciate distinctions and negotiate your environment in a very different way.I wish the video had given us a better shot at what his feet look like after a year of being unshod. |
| Is dreaming just a warm-up for being awake? Posted: 12 Nov 2009 10:45 AM PST NYT: Is dreaming a way for the brain to warm up for the sights, sounds, and emotions of being awake? "It helps explain a lot of things, like why people forget so many dreams... It's like jogging; the body doesn't remember every step, but it knows it has exercised. It has been tuned up. It's the same idea here: dreams are tuning the mind for conscious awareness." |
| 2012 Debunking: The Short-Attention-Span Version Posted: 12 Nov 2009 10:39 AM PST  Wow, it's apparently Debunking 2012 Day here on BoingBoing. I honestly had no idea that David had his Mark Dery post in the works. But it does segue nicely into what I had planned. The Information is Beautiful blog put together an infographic that explains--in a short and quick format---what the 2012 believers are claiming, and why those claims are (lets just say it) stupid. Great example of how the believers get this stuff wrong: The "facts" on the believer side of the graph are pulled directly from believer Web sites. When David from IIB sent me the original version of the graphic, I noticed that the believers had managed to misspell the name of Yale archaeologist Michael D. Coe, calling him "Michael D. Cole". They were also claiming that he was one of them. I don't have Coe's email, but I do have John Hoopes'. He's an archaeologist who has spent his life studying the ancient Maya and other ancient Central and South American civilizations...and my former professor when I was an anthropology undergrad at the University of Kansas. I contacted Hoopes to see what he knew about that claim and, according to him, it's way off. Coe, Hoopes says, does believe that 2012 would have been an important date to the ancient Maya*, and probably one they would have celebrated. But "important" like, say, Christmas is important to us. Or New Years Eve 1999/2000. Not "important" as in "the world is going to end." 2012: The End of the World? from Information Is Beautiful *Specifying "ancient Maya" here, because we're not talking about the beliefs and culture of the very-much-alive Maya people. Just like modern Egyptian belief and culture is different from (but connected to and influenced by) that of the ancient Egyptians, so go the Maya. Coe is not speaking on behalf of the Maya here, he's just talking about what he thinks their ancestors might have believed. |
| Posted: 12 Nov 2009 10:20 AM PST Fascinating interview at The Wrap with the creators of District 9. The film was the alien love child of Halo, and Blomkamp's Alive in Joburg, a short film I blogged here on BB in 2003. "The only area of contention was he wanted to kill off little CJ, [the baby prawn]... He actually wanted to write him out of the script because he cost more to render." |
Via mail order I collected single issues of The Objectivist and The Ayn Rand Letter until I had them all and I kept them in bound cases like holy relics. This is what can happen when bright kids read Ayn Rand, they get obsessed, but hopefully, like me, they will grow out of it. Discovering Lenny Bruce, Marx, Marcuse, Crowley, Burroughs and the Firesign Theatre deprogrammed my teenage ass but good and by that time I was 14 and I soon stopped caring about Ayn Rand altogether. 
It functions like an automatic soap dispenser in public lavatories - a churchgoer waves his or her hand under a sensor and the machine spurts out holy water.
