| Welcome to Bordertown: the first Borderlands book in decades! Posted: 30 Sep 2010 11:58 PM PDT Growing up, some of my absolute favorite books were the Borderlands anthologies -- shared-world stories set in a ficton in which the realm of faerie has returned to Earth, in a city called Bordertown where elves and humans mixed freely and magic and technology worked erratically. These were the precursor of today's urban fantasy, and they were brilliant, bohemian escapist literature that has stood up to many re-readings over the years. So I was incredibly excited when Holly Black and Ellen Kushner invited me to contribute a story to Welcome to Bordertown, the first Borderlands book in decades. This is a young adult volume, and I wrote a story for it called "Shannon's Law," about Bordertown's first hacker, who decides to use TCP over Carrier Pigeon to route a packet through the Border and break the information singularity that divides the two realities. Now Holly and Ellen have published the full table of contents to Welcome, which will be out next May 24, from Random House. I've read most of these stories, and let me tell you, you're in for a treat. Introduction - Terri WindlingWELCOME TO BORDERTOWN Table of Contents

| It Gets Better: video postcards to isolated queer kids from happy queer adults Posted: 30 Sep 2010 11:12 PM PDT The It Gets Better project is a series of video postcards from happy, well-adjusted GBLTG adults to isolated queer teens who think that they're they only "different" people in the world. No matter what your sexuality, these are damned heartwarming -- and "it gets better" is a great message for kids everywhere, queer, straight, or undecided. SF Says: It Gets Better (via Making Light)

| Why don't we kill each other as much as we used to? Posted: 30 Sep 2010 08:45 PM PDT Proof of things you already suspected: Human society is not more violent today than in the past. Quite the opposite, in fact. (At least, as measured by statistics based on Western European historical records.) Vaughn Bell of MindHacks turned up this fascinating story from 2003, in which sociologists and historians debate what, exactly, caused the precipitous drop off in the European murder rate that happened over the course of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. Theories include "The Rise of Courtly Manners" and "The Establishment of the Modern State". |
| Posted: 30 Sep 2010 08:34 PM PDT Did a little girl in the 19th century vomit up an 87-inch intestinal worm? Or, is funky doctor handwriting misleading everyone, and the worm was only a measly 8 1/2 inches long? This may well be the best debate ever. |
| Webcam brings Northern Lights to living rooms everywhere Posted: 30 Sep 2010 08:28 PM PDT  Photographs of the aurora borealis can't really convey what it's like to be sitting in the woods, staring at a black, perfectly normal sky and suddenly begin to see quivering green tracers slither across it. The photos are proof that we're not just all tripping balls up here in the northerly latitudes, but if what you really want is the experience—or something resembling it—the Canadian Space Agency can help. Their AuroraMax Live project* turns a camera on the skies above Yellowknife, Northwest Territories and sends the resulting images direct to your portal on the Intertubes. Right now, I'm looking at it, and all I see is an inky, star-speckled night, ringed by a few trees. But, frankly, not seeing auroras on demand is part of the experience. If you want to improve your chances of catching them, try checking around midnight, Mountain Time, or you can read the aurora forecasts. (Live filming starts at 10:00 p.m., Mountain, and video from the previous night replays starting at 10:00 am.) If you want to be a lousy cheater, there's also a sped up montage from the previous night that you can view on the AuroraMax Gallery page. The webcam will be active for five years, centered around 2013, when the current 11-year cycle of sunspot activity is expected to reach it's peak. Via Wired, and Submitterated by Jen *Maybe this is my lack of sleep talking, but I find the loop of nighttime forest sounds that plays on the home page of this site really rather soothing. It's missing a loon, though.

| Ecuador in chaos after apparent attempted military coup Posted: 30 Sep 2010 07:51 PM PDT In Ecuador, a state of emergency after police officers protesting plans to cut their benefits shut down airports and blocked roads. At least one person has been killed and six injured, when officers clashed with government supporters outside a hospital where the president was, in his words, "practically held captive." Al Jazeera reports that "In front of every police station there are tyres burning with smoke rising into the evening sky." (via Ned Sublette) |
| Posted: 30 Sep 2010 04:02 PM PDT  A couple of years ago, I used a Dremel tool to grind off the twin spigots on my espresso maker's portafilter. (Here's how to make one.) The result is called a "naked portafilter" (also called a "bottomless portafilter" or "crotchless portafilter"). Why make a naked portafilter? Four reasons: 1. You can observe the changes in color of the liquid espresso as it comes out of the filter, which is useful for timing your shot. 2. The espresso looks beautiful as it comes out (see some photos here). 3. It will accept a "triple shot" filter basket. 4. It's a good way to learn how evenly you tamped your coffee grinds into the filter basket -- if you did a poor job, the espresso will come on in multiple streams. I'm not a very good tamper, and often a tiny spray of espresso will squirt off to the side, hitting the counter, the machine, or me. It's a big mess. My friend Kent Barnes, also a naked portafilter enthusiast, suffered the same plight, but unlike me, he did something about it. He found a silicone cupcake liner that fits over the filter basket and cut a hole through it. Now the errant streams are reigned in, without losing the benefits of the bottomless portafilter.
Kent bought his silicone baking cups at Daiso (a Japanese "dollar" store chain), but any silicone cupcake liner with a top diameter of approximately 3-inches will do. You can trim off the top until you achieve the diameter needed to fit the filter basket. Mark Frauenfelder Submit a tool! - Comment on this at Cool Tools.

| 1986 public access cable interview with Del Close, improv comedy "guru" Posted: 30 Sep 2010 03:08 PM PDT Jesse Thorn of The Sound of Young America sends this gem in, and explains: Brian Stack is a friend of mine, and a writer on Conan (Conan fans would know him as one of the Slipnutz, or maybe as the Ghost Crooner, Artie Kendall). He's been writing for them for many years, but before that, he was in improviser in Chicago. When he was 19, he was an intern at a public access station, and he made this video report. The subject is Del Close, with whom Stack had just started his first class at the Improv Olympic. Close is known as the "guru" of improv — he's basically the guy who created modern improv comedy, which is, in turn, the source of all most all modern American comedy that doesn't come from standup. He was mentor to everyone from Bill Murray to Chris Farley to the Upright Citizens Brigade. The video is in black and white, because Brian accidentally set the camera to "monitor" mode, but it's a totally amazing time capsule and about 10 minutes of wisdom from the greatest guru of improvisation.Video: Del Close, 1986. When you're done watching it, head on over to Boloney's for dinner!

| IHOP vs. IHOP: International House of Pancakes sues International House of Prayer Posted: 30 Sep 2010 03:09 PM PDT The LA Weekly reports that The International House of Pancakes has filed a lawsuit against the International House of Prayer for trademark dilution and infringement. The Pancake purveyors have been using the initials since 1973. While their logos are different, their urls are perilously similar: IHOP dot-com belongs to the pancake people, and IHOP dot-org belongs to the religious group. |
| U.S. military pilots speak at The National Press Club: UFOs deactivated nukes Posted: 30 Sep 2010 02:30 PM PDT "Captain Salas graduated from the Air Force Academy and spent seven years in active duty from 1964 to 1971. He also held positions at Martin Marietta and Rockwell and spent 21 years at the FAA." Caleb alerted me to the news that the "National Press Club hosted some retired military/FAA people who calmly stated that a UFO shut down their missile silo and they were told never to talk about it. Documents were declassified later. Other similar events turn out to be documented. The news was covered by Current's Intel Hub and The Telegraph UK story" UPDATE: This following was emailed to me by a "long-time Boing Boing reader and current employee of the National Press Club" who wishes to remain anonymous: Just wanted to clarify a couple things about this UFO event you posted on:

| Posted: 30 Sep 2010 12:10 PM PDT  There is a reason I'm a landscape photographer; People drive me up a wall. My friend Ryan and I have a constant back-and-forth over how boring it is to photograph things that largely don't move vs. trying to capture that fleeting moment in street photography. This weekend Ryan gave me yet another reason to avoid people when carrying my camera -- as we've read on BB, street photographers are still being victimized and harassed. While many of us understand that photography is a right and only under certain circumstances can you be banned from taking a photo in public; surprisingly mall cops, petty bureaucrats and even our own police are constantly over-stepping boundaries and harassing photographers. Ryan was harassed for using an antique camera in public. He blogged his story here. Someone thought he was taking upskirt photos from a long distance with a Twin Lens Reflex camera. Its pretty impossible. Shortly after sharing his story, Ryan flooded me with examples of other photographers being harassed in similar ways. Blake Andrews, a street shooting colleague of Ryan's, had a near identical experience (except it was children he was accused of inappropriately photographing.) Anyhow, its wrong. Photographers have rights and if you love to take pictures you should know them. Bert Krages has prepared The Photographer's Rights page and offers a pdf to help you know what is ok to photograph (most everything,) what isn't, and what to do if someone wants to question you.

| Posted: 29 Sep 2010 03:55 PM PDT  Softskull Press is launching a new series of books called Deep Focus, dedicated to taking some of today's wittiest writers and setting them loose on the cult film classics of the 70's and 80's. So far, I've had the pleasure of reading galleys for the first two, Jonathan Lethem's deconstruction of John Carpenter's They Live, and Chris Sorrentino's homage to Death Wish. These are fun little books - little, meaning a hundred or so pages and in a tiny fits-in-your-back-pocket format suitable for reading anywhere at anytime. And they justify all the nights spent watching reruns of these films, never sure if we were allowed to like them as much as we do - even after we see through to their obvious faults. This book series considers such films "deliberate" B-movies. I read Lethem's time-coded analysis of They Live on an airplane while I watched the film on my phone, for the perfect DIY mini-Criterion experience. Lethem is one of my favorite writers anyway, but experiencing him wax on about Nada and the ghouls was perhaps the highlight of my summer reading. Here he is on Shephard Fairey's original OBEY campaign, which began as a reaction to the "obey" signs revealed beneath ordinary advertisements when characters in the film wore "Hoffman glasses":
Fairey's interventions occupy the same uneasy middle ground as They Live itself: on the one hand, the termite arts of graffiti or of the deliberate B-Movie, marginal activities carrying a subversive potential past the sentries of high art. On the other, the gallery-ready postures of text-artists like Barbara Kruger and Jenny Holzer, or of the Cahiers table of "conscious" auteurs - Hitchcock being the supreme example - at which Carpenter may occasionally be granted a shakey seat. Too poisted and context-aware to be claimed as primitives, too crass and populist to be comfortably claimed for the high-art pantheon, Fairey and Carpenter both oscillate dismayingly in the void between. Or, a bit later...
Kruger and Holzer's non-sequitor interventions briefly attained a gallant purity, but they'd always needed the gallery or museum context as a quarantine against recontamination. Their work degenerated anyway, refamiliarizing into po-mo moral rhetoric or reappropriated for fashion layouts. What makes Shepard Fairey's populist gesture insipid is is how self-evidently it awaited a product retrofit, a proceed-to-checkout button. When the OBEY t-shirt or CHANGE political campaign rolled out, no one, least of all the 'artworks' themselves, even hiccuped.

Attorney General cyberbullies gay student body president Posted: 30 Sep 2010 02:31 PM PDT Michigan Assistant Attorney General Andrew Shirvell has become so fixated on a particular gay University of Michigan student that he runs a blog about the student called "Chris Armstrong Watch." Roger Ebert writes: Study Shirvell closely here [video abo. You may, as I do, see a prim, repressed, rigid fanatic. As Cooper pointedly asks, would you want this man representing you?

| 2013: Or, What to Do When the Apocalypse Doesn’t Arrive Posted: 30 Sep 2010 10:01 AM PDT  image from The Macho Response What if you threw a cataclysm and nobody came? At EnlightenNext, Gary Lachman, founding bassist of Blondie and author of the excellent Turn Off Your Mind: The Mystic Sixties and the Dark Side of the Age of Aquarius and a new book Jung The Mystic, wrote a terrific essay about the history of millenarianism, apocalyptic anticipation, and Harmonic Convergers' wishful thinking. From Lachman's article, titled "2013: Or, What to Do When the Apocalypse Doesn't Arrive": Growing up in the 1960s, through the media I was aware of the modern Brethren of the Free Spirit in places like Greenwich Village and Haight-Ashbury. I was also aware that something called the Age of Aquarius either was on its way or had already arrived (the jury is still out on this). Linked to this was the idea that the fabled lost continent of Atlantis-—which I read about in comic books and fantasy paperbacks—was due to surface sometime in 1969. Both were heralds of a coming golden age, when "peace will guide the planets and love will steer the stars." By the early seventies such anticipations had fizzled, but in 1974 they were briefly revived when comet Kohoutek sparked new interest in apocalyptic beliefs. A Christian group called the Children of God—who, incidentally, advocated "revolutionary lovemaking" (read: promiscuity)—distributed leaflets announcing doomsday for January of that year, which my friends and I read with interest. Predictably, Kohoutek fizzled as well. That same year, the science writers John Gribbin and Stephen Plagemann published The Jupiter Effect, a bestseller predicting the devastating results (earthquakes, tidal waves, etc.) of a curious alignment of the planets on one side of the sun. When the alignment took place and nothing happened, they wrote a second book, The Jupiter Effect Reconsidered, explaining what went wrong. Not surprisingly, this sequel didn't sell as well."2013: Or, What to Do When the Apocalypse Doesn't Arrive" (Thanks, Greg Taylor!)

| An Alt Currency that even the IRS Could Love Posted: 29 Sep 2010 03:35 PM PDT How superfluid works from Nathan Solomon on Vimeo. I've been researching alternative currency systems for the past decade or so, ever since I became convinced that a 21st Century economy simply can't be run on a 13th Century printing-press-era operating system. As most of us know, the centralized currency we use today is a legacy of the early Renaissance, when kings, threatened by the rise of a merchant middle class, made all peer-to-peer and local currencies illegal. Debt-based currencies helped monarchs centralize their power and the worth of their treasuries. And these currency systems worked particularly well as colonial empires expanded via their chartered corporations. Nowadays, however, most of us have more value we wish to transact than there is cash out there to do it. (I personally blame the derivatives markets, which now are more predictive than derivative - their bets being placed before the so-called "real" markets have a chance to operate.) But whatever the cause, there are plenty of real people willing to work and exchange value; there's just not enough money available to do it. I've been looking hard at many of the systems out there, from exchanges like LETS and TimeDollars to reputational currencies like Whuffie. The main obstacle - usually unacknowledged, but mostly just ignored - is the tax. And I think that's what sets Superfluid apart from the rest. They've got two sides - a "community" portal for people to do favors for one another in the way a LETS system might allow. And they've also got a commerce portal through which people can begin to sell merchandise or commercial services. What makes Superfluid interesting for the Boing Boing community, I believe, is that its philosophy and methodology - as described in the video above - is so consonant with that of the programming community. It makes sense to me that a technology based in shared computing resources would be great for administrating the sharing of programming skills. And it also seems to me that the programming community is the more likely birthplace for a robust and legal p2p currency than the kinds of communities that have attempted to scale up their currencies in the past. See what you think. I'll try to get the founders of Superfluid here to engage in the comments if people are interested.

| My quest for the ultimate travel coffee setup Posted: 30 Sep 2010 07:47 AM PDT  I am a coffee snob. I offer no apologies for this. I really appreciate good coffee, and have zero tolerance for crappy coffee.I also travel a lot. So when when traveling to places that don't tend to have great coffee at the ready, I've learned that bringing your own brewing setup is mandatory. Combine that with some strong technomadic leanings and the search for that ultimate travel coffee setup can become an obsession. A recent trip to Japan, a place where designers and engineers are even more detail-focused than I am, provided an opportunity to refine my toolkit. I thought I'd share those improvements with you here, in case you're looking to build your own kit for on-the-go-get-up-and-go. First, two details. When given the opportunity, I tend to drink espresso. Truly great espresso requires the sort of serious gear I have no intention of dragging around the globe with me. (yes I know about the Aeropress, I'm just not a big fan) So when traveling, I default to drip coffee and focus on the details to make each cup better than the last. Also, I want to note that the setup I've been using is bad ass and made many cups that shocked me with their sheer deliciousness. There's nothing wrong with the stuff I had, and you could just copy my old set up and never be disappointed. But I'm obsessed: I believe that all things, particularly coffee, can always be tweaked and improved.
Now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's talk grinders. If you know coffee, you know the single most important piece of prep equipment is the grinder. No matter how good your beans are, screw up the grind and there is nothing you can do to save it. You can easily spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on a good home grinder, but in addition to being pricey those are generally too large for carry-on luggage. Oh, what's that you say? You have a really small blade grinder that you got at Target? GTFO. You need a burr grinder if you actually want your coffee to taste good. Because different countries have different power sources that become annoying to worry about, a hand grinder is your best bet. For most of this year I've been using the Hario Skerton Luckily there are other options. Unluckily, they are super hard to get a hold of. Legend has it that Hario makes an even smaller hand grinder that addresses the floating burr problem. I'd never seen on of these in person as they are almost impossible to find in the United States. My friend Tonx revealed to me that he had one locked up in some in some crazy coffee fortress in mid-city Los Angeles and after hours of jedi-mind-tricking I convinced him to let me borrow it for this trip to try it out. And then, at the eleventh hour, as if fate itself wanted to kick me square in the beans, it pops up on Amazon. I spent a week in Singapore with the Mini Mill Slim
Again, the Hario Mini Mill is awesome. Super awesome. But without question the Porlex hand grinder is even super awesomer. When I saw this on the shelf at Tokyu Hands I didn't know what it was but instantly had an object design orgasm. Upon further inspection I found that reaction to be justified. The attention to detail on this is unstoppable. Every piece fits just perfectly which means when assembled it feels solid (the Harios tend to feel wobbly). Functionally, it's a significant improvement: the ceramic burrs are sharper and the adjustments more precise. The Hario Mini Mill produced grinds that were far more consistent than the Skerton, but still kind of variable. The grinds that come from the Porlex are extremely consistent; I'd say even better than many electric grinders in the $100 range. These grinds are nice. No question about it.
The Porlex is slightly taller than the Mini Mill Slim, but it's more narrow and just as easy to pack. I'm pretty excited about that upgrade. If you want one, let me know before I leave Japan and I'll pick you up one, but I gotta warn you my service fee is obscene. Now that we have freshly-ground beans, we gotta brew 'em. Earlier this year I was carrying around the Clever Coffee Maker, an interesting design that blends pour-over with immersion (think French Press) brewing techniques. It's really nice, but not terribly small. Also, I found myself wanting more control over the brewing process. I switched to a Hario V60
While these improvements range from awesome to nice, this next one is firmly in the land of dreams come true. A few months ago I publicly lamented the lack of a good travel sized drip kettle. If you are unfamiliar with drip kettles, they have a long, narrow spout which allows you to control the speed and flow of the water you are pouring to make sure you wet the grounds in the proper way, and to repeat that easily each time. Yes I know it's super nerdy, but you're reading a super nerdy blog post about super nerdy coffee gadget obsessions. Anyway, the kettles I knew about were large and not suitcase-friendly.
Yeah. Whoah.
One thing I didn't have to upgrade is my scale. For repeatability and general super-nerdness I've been measuring the beans and water I use by weight rather than volume for quite some time. If you want to get really precise it's really your only option. And the Soehnle Page digital scale
The downside to finding all this awesome stuff is now I have double the load to bring back with me. Though I'll have some pretty happy friends when I get home and start dishing out the hand-me-downs.

Tara Sand and her family, including her 9-year-old daughter, called 1-800-HELP-FTC on speakerphone.
On October 26th, my first novel, 
which is a very nice grinder for what it is, though it does have some problems. The bottom burr "floats," which means that especially when grinding at a coarser setting (like you'd do for drip coffee) the consistency is really bad. An inconsistent grind means the finer bits are over extracted and the larger ones under extracted which results in an inferior cup of coffee. 
and it's noticeably better than it's larger brother. I fell in love and swore to myself that since I was also going to Japan (where Hario is based) I'd go right to the source and buy one while I was there. As soon as I got on the ground there I went hunting for one, but I found something even more amazing.
which is a pure pour-over device. Once you figure out its nuances, this thing makes a damn good cup of coffee. I feel like I now have the hang of it, and became very satisfied with the results I was getting every day from it— maybe this is as good as it gets, I thought.
is a super small and lightweight way to do that. This thing is 8"x5" and takes up almost no room in my luggage. And it's great for showing off to friends when you make them coffee on the road.
