posts brought to you by the category “americaland”

Das eez kaput! Sometime around 2002 I spaced the entire database table that mapped individual entries to categories. Such is life. What follows is a random sampling of entries that were associated with the category. Over time, the entries will be updated and then it will be even more confusing. Wander around, though, it's still a fun way to find stuff.

Ira Glass : Howard and Me

I'm the host of a show on public radio, and when my listeners tell me they don't care for [Howard] Stern, I always think it reveals a regrettable narrowness of vision. Mostly, they're put off by the naked girls. But Stern has invented a way of being on the air that uses the medium better than nearly anyone. He's more honest, more emotionally present, more interesting, more wide-ranging in his opinions than any host on public radio. Also, he's a fantastic interviewer. He's truly funny. And his staff on the air is cheerfully inclusive of every kind of person: black, white, dwarf, stutterer, drunk and supposed gay. What public radio show has that kind of diversity?

Michael Ignatieff : Lesser Evils

Even those — like me — who supported the Iraq war because it might bring freedom and democracy to people who had been gassed, tortured and killed for 30 years had better admit that if our grounds for war had been squarely put to the American people, they probably would have voted to stay home. Worse still, Congress failed to put the president's case for war to adversarial scrutiny and debate. The news media allowed itself to be managed and browbeaten. The war may or may not bring democracy to Iraq eventually, but it hasn't done democracy any good at home.

KCRW runs a fucking station.

KCRW runs a free-spirited fucking station with few restrictions on programmers the fuck-ups, who produce their shows without interference fucking around from management. The station attracts many independent and edgy thinkers and artists who enjoy the freedom to express fuck themselves on the air.

A bit harsh perhaps but, seriously, you crazy fuckers.

Bob DuCharme : Linking Architecture and the U.S. House of Representatives

The comments in the DTD that the document references describe an interesting evolution of its linking architecture: there was an attempt, later abandoned, to keep it in line with XLink; I was tickled to see the phrase "architectural form" come up in one comment. Ultimately, they modeled the links around the relationships between their particular document types instead of trying to shoehorn these relationships into some wider linking standard, and then the XSLT stylesheet that prepares it for web delivery turns the links into a/@href links.

Santa is a Raelian?

 

Canadians are well-known for making fun of Americans. Especially when it comes to the subject of how little most Americans know about their friends to the North .

So, it was sort of refreshing to be in the States with a group of Canadians as they tried to wrap their minds around the fact that absolutely everything is closed on Thanksgiving.

You mean, nothing is open? Really?! The whole country?

It was also pretty funny finally finding a place to get a drink and being carded with people who've been going to bars, without thinking about it, since they were fifteen. In other words, for a minimum of sixteen years. If you've ever wondered whether people from Québec are laughing at you, under their breath, while you scan their driver's license trying to find a birth date : they are.

Seriously, why doesn't the States just bring back Prohibition? I know, I know. If Dubya gets re-elected, they will but you can imagine what it was like being in Boston with two Montréalais after they were told that all of Massachusetts is dry on Sundays. No one asked me but Americans sure seemed to enjoy themselves more back when they drank gin out of bath tubs .

And it would be an opportunity for the Bronfman's to make some of their money back (modulo whatever complaints people filed with the NAFTA review board.)

brian d. foy : iMortar

iMortar will allow soldiers to connect, via Wi-Fi, to other mortars in their area. We use to have a problem shooting at the same target, but once we network the mortars, once you select a target, other mortars in your network will not shoot at the same target , said an FSS spokesman wearing a black mask. Can I have your shoes? I have none.

I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Simon Woodside: XML data round-tripping with Relax NG and HTML forms

These are XSLT stylesheets to be used with a Relax NG schema. Alexandra uses the RNG schema to create a roundtripping forms interface in HTML to edit an instance document that conforms to the schema.

With a little interface polishing this could be a good candidate for managing eatdrinkfeelgood recipes via the web. blah blah blah ... generic weblog interface ... blah blah blah It might also make for an interesting "Cool Things You Can Do with Web Standards" (modulo the whole W3C Schema debacle) presentation for the W3QC. via more like this

Ameni Rozsa : "Radio was made for the lonely,

the displaced and the out of touch. Its sound is our guardian angel, ubiquitous but unassuming. We move about our business while radio patiently follows. Its persistence soothes even our most sudden and sharp-edged isolations, softens the spaces between our souls and the ever-distant walls. In these ways, radio is forgiving, and the lonely are in need of forgiveness." Tangetially related, since the link is to a story about The National Story Project, I saw Paul Auster speak from his home in Brooklyn in the days that followed September 11. He was being interviewed by the television arm of Radio Canada and I was pleasantly surprised to discover that he speaks excellent French. It was just one of those tiny moments that you cling to when it feels like everything else sucks...

Java xsl-FO to Rtf

"converts XML documents conforming to the XSL-FO specification to RTF format, the goal being to use the same XSL-FO documents (as often generated using XSLT transforms) to generate PDF (using FOP or similar) and RTF (using jfor) documents. Through an intermediate transformation to XSL-FO, jfor can be used to convert any raw or XML data to RTF format."

Just for kicks, I rendered the SOD (sic) feed as DHTML outline.

While I was busy enjoying the simple pleasure of opening and closing the folders, it occured to me that it would be pretty simple to write a Zope ODB "tree" to FolderTree script. That way you wouldn't haven't to worry about the dtml-tree tag wigging out when the cookie [it] sets to figure out who's on first is longer than the cookie spec allows for. Interesting...

Rich Robinson : DigitaScript, A Scripting Language for Digital Cameras

"Although DigitaScript can set simple camera parameters such as shutter speed and flash settings, it can also manage databases of information, tell photographers which picture to take next, build web pages, extend the user interface, and communicate with external devices such as barcode readers. It does this with simple text files that are no more difficult to understand than HTML. And it does everything right inside the camera."

Jon Ippolito : "I would say that the graffiti artists of today are working online,

where some home-spun HTML and easily obtained plug-ins can reach a broad audience with minimal investment. Graffiti artists sprayed onto the subway infrastructure to get their work into the public eye, while online artists spray their work onto the infrastructure of the Internet." Why is it that supposedly hot-shit, cutting edge symposia on digital art and Internet can't find it in themselves to hire someone with enough sense to put anything besides directions to the conference hall on their websites? If they have such mind-blowing ideas, maybe they'd like to share them with the rest of us...

Bryan Boyer : "Nomadicism is thus no longer lamenting the lack of Home,

but redefining it altogether. Home as series. (This makes a rather large assumption that one's aesthetic is influenced by their Home. I'd like to extend the idea of Home as more than physical dwelling, but now cultural, spiritual, and geographic locus.)" I'm not sure I agree with this but I will say that, more and more, not just having a home but knowing what and where it is is a luxury not to be overlooked. see also : Chez moi is not a homeI promise I will fix the heinous IE (Win) display bug in the morning...

Teleweb.org

"LE SELF-MEDIA, c'est l'idée que chacun est en mesure d'inventer son propre média avec les nouvelles technologies d'aujourd'hui sans se soucier réellement du coût du matériel ou des logiciels ... c'est aussi la défense des idées qui ont fait d'internet un outil privilégiant la communauté, l'échange des savoirs et les réflexions quant à la mise en place de nouvelles formes d'économies et de comportements sociaux. Teleweb est une initiative de transformation des circuits classiques de médiations (producteur, distribution, diffusion), un proposition artistique d'espace public en réseau."
