| Beautiful rotoscoped short film on the fable of the Beale cipher Posted: 26 Jan 2011 03:05 AM PST The Thomas Beale Cipher is a ten-minute short film from director Andrew Allen; it tells the story of the Beale ciphers, notorious encrypted documents that supposedly hold the key to great wealth. The film makes use of very beautiful rotoscoping techniques that really stand out (more so, alas, than the writing, which is a little loose) and held my attention throughout.

| Welcome to Bierwelt, Bavaria's theme park based on beer Posted: 25 Jan 2011 04:03 PM PST  I invite you to make the journey deep into the heart of Bavaria. Only 90km from Munich lies Abensberg in the Hallertau, the world's largest hop growing region. Abensberg is home to Kuchlbauer, a small brewery specializing in Hefeweizen style beers. This region is also home to the two oldest known licensed breweries in the world, Weihenstephan (1040) and Weltenburg (1050), and currently has about 600 operating breweries. Despite brewing traditions going back almost a thousand years, Hefeweizen is a fairly new phenomenon in beer. Traditionally, the malt in German beer is barley. The addition of wheat as a malted grain has become increasingly popular over the past sixty years. Kuchlabuer decided to specialize in Hefeweizen early in the twentieth century and has been operating a tour of its facility for about thirty years.
What makes this brewery tour special is that the owner, Leonhard Salleck, has taken it upon himself to make a visual experience out of the tour that combines beer with art, philosophy, literature, and agriculture. Two years ago, they renovated their tour operations and created Bierwelt (World of Beer) laden with animatronic beer gnomes, exhibitions on brewing history, a beer pharmacy, a tower dedicated to beer, and of course beer sampling. The tour involves winding your way through the brewery grounds, following a curved path of beer bottle bottoms inlaid into the floor of the facility. At various stations, you are presented with information about brewing history, the personal philosophy of the owner, and are encouraged to "see the beauty in life, do good, and recognize truth."
The culmination of this tour is the ascent of the Hundertwasser Tower. Friedensreich von Hundertwasser (1928-2000) is one of the most recognizable artists in the German speaking world and is known for his architectural modifications shunning straight lines and promoting organic irregularities. The owner was able to convince Hundertwasser to design a tower for the brewery as one of his last projects before his death. After almost a decade of struggling with the local government over the tower height and construction guidelines, the tower opened in 2010 and has become a must see for beer and art enthusiasts in the region. The tower, originally designed to be seventy meters, now tops out at thirty-five meters. As you climb the tower you find alcoves, symbolic windows, and small rooms to explore. At the top of the tower, the tree of knowledge is represented in the walls of the oval dome. As you descend you are brought into a room and offered one of their six different styles of Hefeweizen, from alcohol free to a Weizendoppelbock that will "send you flying" as they say. (Additional beers may be purchased for 1€) Video: kuchlbauers-bierwelt.de
How to get there: It is only 90 minutes by train from Munich central station via Ingolstadt to Abensberg. Get a group day pass called a "Bayern Ticket" for €29 and that will get you and 4 of your friends from Munich to Abensberg and back for the day. The tower can only be visited as a part of the tour that costs €11 for adults. Discounts are available for students, seniors, and children. In the summer they often turn away visitors, so reservations are highly encouraged. Tour reservations can be made online besucherinfo(at)kuchlbauers-bierwelt.de. Please note: you must be 16 to sample beer at Bierwelt.

| More white people rapping poorly: Icy Hot Stuntaz frontman "born again" as B-SHOC Posted: 25 Jan 2011 01:15 PM PST  Yesterday I came across a website on the amusing phenom of white people rapping poorly. It was lulz. But when I posted it here, I could not have foreseen the amazingness that would soon manifest: 31 comments into a thoughtful discussion thread about how racist I must be for laughing at white people, commenter DSMVWL THS dropped a bomb. Da Flame of the Icy Hot Stuntaz has been born again as B-SHOC, the Christan rapper. If you are unfamiliar with the Icy Hot Stuntaz, they were a white boy rap brigade from Toccoa, Georgia (population over 9,000) that gained tens of fans circa 2001 when someone accidentally posted photos of them photoshop-bling'd-out and frontin' in front of their not-really-that-tricked-out-Civics online. In one moment, the entire internet united to point and laugh. It was a beautiful sight to behold, and many a related meme followed. You can read more about them on Know Your Meme, Urban Dictionary and Encyclopedia Dramatica (NSFW). Luckily for those living more than one state road away from Toccoa, the attention span of the web is short and most people never heard of them again. Until now. Skip ahead 10 years and here comes B-SHOC. He's got a CD out that you can buy from him with tracks like "My Trunk Go Boom" and "The Jesus In Me." That's right, he now sings for Jesus.
From his about page: At the age of 16, B-SHOC's heart started beating to the beat of rap music. Falling in love with the style, he pursued a career. With the success came the "rock-star" lifestyle which consisted of partying and women. Between performing and promoting, this fast life locked B-SHOC in the night clubs almost every night of the week. Wait, what? To tie these fun bits together, B-SHOC, a.k.a. Brian Edmonds, is also a.k.a. Da Flame of the Icy Hot Stuntaz. I'm sure you can see where I'm heading with this argument.
What subject a gentlemen decides to rap about is entirely up to him, be it cash, cars, bling and bitches, or Jesus, Mary and Joseph. But I gotta take issue with the claims that before rebranding as B-SHOC, dude was a "rock star." Come on now. He was in Icy Hot Stuntaz for the love of God. Easily the most diamonds-photoshopped-onto-themselves-white-rappers in history. And while the Stuntaz always appeared to take themselves dead seriously, it's pretty clear they were the only ones doing so and the majority of the press they got was people trying to prove they must have been some kind of prank. So B-SHOC, you know what it says in The Bible about hyping up your past to make it seem like you were way more popular than you were, right? The Bible is against this. Straight ballin'. |

| Posted: 25 Jan 2011 01:22 PM PST Karen Byrne, 55, suffers from Alien Hand Syndrome. The condition began after surgeons snipped her corpus callosum, connecting her brain's two hemispheres, to treat her epilepsy. She's featured on The Brain: A Secret History, a documentary series on BBC Four. From the BBC: Cutting the corpus callosum cured Karen's epilepsy, but left her with a completely different problem. Karen told me that initially everything seemed to be fine. Then her doctors noticed some extremely odd behaviour."Alien Hand Syndrome sees woman attacked by her own hand" (Thanks, Bob Pescovitz!)

| Meet Obama's new Solicitor General: the copyright industry's Donald Verrilli Jr Posted: 25 Jan 2011 03:26 AM PST The Obama administration has just appointed a notorious entertainment industry lawyer to serve as the Solicitor General of the USA. Donald Verrilli Jr. is the industry lawyer who masterminded the case against Grokster, successfully arguing that online service providers should be held liable for the actions of their users and that online libraries containing millions of noninfringing works should be shut down if they also contain infringing works. Subsequently, he led Viacom vs. YouTube suit, in which he sought to extend the Grokster principle, holding YouTube liable for not reviewing the 29 hours' worth of video they receive every minute to ensure they don't infringe copyright. Viacom also sought to ban YouTube's privacy features (which allow you to specify that certain videos can only be seen by friends and family) because the ability to restrict viewership of a video made it harder for them to detect infringement. If confirmed by the Senate, Verilli, now the White House deputy counsel, would assume the powerful position left vacant by Elena Kagan, who was elevated to the Supreme Court. Obama said he was "confident" that Verrilli, one of five former RIAA attorneys appointed to the administration, would "serve ably."Obama nominates former RIAA lawyer for Solicitor General spot

| Egypt: Protests inspired by Tunisia and fanned by social media break out all over Posted: 25 Jan 2011 12:04 PM PST  In Egypt, thousands of protesters are gathering at demonstrations in Cairo, Alexandria, and many other cities, calling for an end to the 30-year rule of president Hosni Mubarak: The rallies had been promoted online by groups saying they speak for young Egyptians frustrated by the kind of poverty and oppression which triggered the overthrow of Tunisia's president. Egyptian blogger Hossam El Hamalawy said technology was important in facilitating "the domino effect" needed for demonstrations like this one to progress.
Amazing video here, a "Tienanmen Square" moment in which (around 1:21) a man (soon joined by other) faces off an approaching Ethan Zuckerman points us to Global Voices Egypt coverage, lots of translations from social media.
Related NYT coverage here. The protests are said to be the largest in Egypt since 1977.

| Posted: 25 Jan 2011 11:16 AM PST In his post about Jan Hammer rocking it hard with his keytar, Pesco linked to the synth-master's theme to Miami Vice. He had the good taste not to link to the other Jan Hammer Miami Vice theme. Let the record reflect that I have corrected this omission. UPDATE: Rob says, I'm "splitting ivory acrylic fibers" by correcting him that the above song is actually titled "Crockett's Theme." And here is an awesome live version of "Crockett's Theme," including shots of the Fairlight screen and, of course, Jan on a keytar. --pesco |

| Berlusconi's "Rubygate" in Italy: Private Vices, Public Virtues Posted: 25 Jan 2011 10:15 AM PST  (image: a shot from the movie "Private Vices, Public Virtues") Many years ago, I took part in a movie directed by Miclos Jancso, called "Private Vices, Public Virtues." It was a dissolute story of sex drugs and rock-n-roll, anachronistically set in the Austro-Hungarian empire. In the film, the rebellious heir to the crown of Franz Joseph gets murdered by his own father, the Emperor, for a criminal public display of orgiastic excesses, which involve the nobles of the court, plus the many less noble participants of the collapsing empire. I remember vividly when a group of girls arrived from Rome to participate in the film. "Il gruppo Max," they were called, and they brought their film assignment with them: "pronte a tutto," ready for anything. Meaning ready to do anything requested by the film production, ready to dance, to sing, to strip, to have sex on camera. Ilona Staller, who later became the famous Italian parliamentarian Cicciolina, was one of that group. And they perfectly performed that task: it was in the seventies, make love not war, hippies, free love, with men and women, among men and women, kings and beggars, friends and foes... The movie was a commercial flop, and an artistic failure. However, from today's perspective, that film was clearly a futuristic experiment. These days, all the Italian dailies have headlines which are paraphrases from that Movie: "ragazze pronte a tutto," "vizi privati pubbliche virtu," "il re perverso e triste," papi of the nation.... Of course they refer to the Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi, and his endless squalid story with underage girls, professional paid escorts, TV stars who become deputies and government officials, all thanks to his protection. "Rubygate" they call it in the Italian press: it's named after his biggest and weirdest sex-scandal yet, with an illegal, thieving, juvenile delinquent belly dancer from Morocco.
While he is in power, I will eat, declared the girl, after Silvio politically survived by a single vote in the parliament. In the meantime, a very restrictive and harsh law on university and students has been passed in Italy, notwithstanding huge students protests. Factories are closing. Workers are forced to work for minimal wages, or in the black market. Fake bankruptcies are also commonly reported these days, because business owners can earn more profit using state support.
What makes all this paparazzi nonsense so credible and plausible is the amazing resemblance of these girls, Silvio's sweethearts, to his wife, who recently divorced him. She said that she couldn't endure his dalliances with underage woman, and sure enough, all these starlets seem to be under thirty, if not, indeed, under the age of legal consent.
Perverse curiosity and passive voyeurism accompanies the daily leaks from the court, the wiretaps, the police investigations. There is fatalist expectation of the worst, which is yet to come. A international Twitter stream of those two vulgar simplistic words, "bunga bunga," makes Italian public life a reality show.

| Posted: 25 Jan 2011 10:08 AM PST The small planes sold by Cirrus Aircraft are all outfitted with a whole-airplane parachute. The system demonstrated in this video was developed by Ballistic Recovery Systems' Boris Popov, who was inspired after surviving a fall from a hang glider into a lake. While this is the first commercial whole-airplane parachute, the idea has been around for more than 80 years. From Smithsonian Air & Space: In 1929, Hollywood stunt pilot Roscoe Turner deployed a whole-airplane parachute for kicks before 15,000 spectators in Santa Ana, California, and landed softly in his 2,800-pound Lockheed Air Express. In 1948, pilot and parachutist Bob Fronius twice deployed a chute from a JR-V Robin sailplane near San Diego, and several times the following year from a J-3 Piper Cub. "He would climb, shut the engine down, open the chute, play around with it, then release the chute and dive to start the engine," says Fronius' son Doug. Bob Fronius never commercialized his parachute. "He was a better experimenter than a businessman," says Doug. "He considered the job done once he accomplished the experimental part.""How Things Work: Whole-Airplane Parachute"   |

| List of slang terms for police officers Posted: 25 Jan 2011 09:25 AM PST  Cops, Feds, and the Fuzz are obvious, but according to this list of slang terms for law enforcement, that's just the tip of the nightstick.

| Princess Leia demo with Kinect and holographic projector Posted: 25 Jan 2011 09:16 AM PST MIT researchers are making progress with their "Princess Leia" hologram demo, a system that uses Microsoft Kinect to capture live 3D data and transmit it over the Net to a holographic projector. I first saw a previous generation of this projector demonstrated more than a dozen years ago by the late holography pioneer Professor Stephen Benton. The technology blew me away then and it's come a long way, even though the effect may not translate so well in the video above. From New Scientist: The real holographic image couldn't match the resolution achieved by special effects in the movie, (MIT professor Michael) Bove says, but adds, "Princess Leia wasn't being transmitted in real time. She was stored" in R2-D2's memory."Kinect used to create holographic video of Princess Leia" (New Scientist) "3-D TV? How about holographic TV?" (MIT News) |
| 8 Mysteries of Science: Ten years later Posted: 25 Jan 2011 08:16 AM PST Ten years ago, Popular Mechanics put together a list of 8 Mysteries of Science—from a cure for cancer to the existence of other universes—that could, conceivably, be solved in the next 100 years. Now, they check back in to see how much progress was made, or not made, in a decade. You can read the year 2000 article and compare it to today. Nice way to give an otherwise throwaway listicle some legs and a sense of long-term journalistic accountability.   |
