What to do in LA this weekend: Glen Friedman photo book launch. 
If you're in LA this weekend, head downtown to sixspace tomorrow night for the world premiere of The Idealist by Glen E. Friedman. The new book (which is totally gorgeous -- I fondled one of the first copies a few weeks ago) gathers images spanning 25 years of Friedman's fine-art photography.
"Though he continues a heavy focus on both imagery and message, only a few of his traditional photographs of legendary people in the hip-hop, punk and skate communities will be recognized. The Idealist traces Friedman's development as a fine-artist as his subject matter includes a breathtaking international scope of landscapes, still life, and documentary."
Link to sixspace show info, Link to Friedman's website, where you'll find ordering info. |

Employee policy: Trust but verify - Infoworld Staff. I woke up this morning feeling great. I always feel great on my birthday, even though it marks my advancing years. Today was

sensitive data to places it shouldn’t go. |
| 17. |
How I tested - Infoworld Staff. I initially attempted to implement the Permeo ASG on a test network at the University of Hawaii’s Advanced Network Computing
Laboratory. At the time, the product wasn’t ready for testing, so I attempted two additional implementations at the InfoWorld
Test Center lab near Washington, before finally setting up a successful installation. |

WHYNET will enable researchers to test everything from smart antennas to Smart Dust networks "in the wild" (or close to it). Meanwhile, it will help scientists understand the chaos of the wirlesss spectrum.

Why favourite? because one can ride there for hours and not meet any single car and not to see any single soul. People left and nature is blooming, there are beautiful places, woods, lakes. There is no newly built roads, but those which left from 80th in fairly good condition..."

Spy On Your Food with this DNA Chip. Roland sez: "Do you want to know if the chicken you just bought at the supermarket contains bits of pork or beef? Or would you like to know if the vegetarian meal you just ordered contains some fish or meat? If your answer is yes, you might get some help from a DNA chip which can recognize 32 different species of fishes, birds and mammals, including humans(!!), in a single test. Both Small Times and New Scientist carry a story of this DNA chip, which will likely be used first by food regulators. The FoodExpert-ID biochip is the first high-throughput gene chip for testing food and animal feed. But it doesn't come cheap. The cost of all the equipment needed to perform the tests is around $250,000, but each test would cost only $350 to $550. This overview contains more details and references. It also includes illustrations showing how the technology works." Link |

Roundtable on design coverage in the media. There's an interesting discussion taking place at Core 77 about industrial design in the media. Participants include I.D.'s Julie Lasky, New Yorker's John Seabrook, writer Kurt Anderson, designer Bruce Mau, and Moma design curator Paola Antonelli.
John Seabrook: It is very tedious, both for the writer and the reader, to describe in words the color, shape, texture, material, and style of an object -- when a picture could communicate most of this information in a fraction of a second. And yet, when you are writing for an audience that knows nothing of the context within which decisions about design take place, and has no feel for the culture out of which design choices emerge, then one has little choice but to scatter one's seed over such barren ground as mere description. Ergo, most cultural critics choose to spend their time writing about something else. Janet Jackson's breast, say.

Radar on a Chip Means Radar on the Cheap. I wrote a piece for The Feature about the potential uses for a newly invented radar-on-a-chip.
Late last month, an associate professor by the name of Ali Hajimiri of the California Institute of Technology announced that he had come up with a radar system on a chip. This is significant for two reasons. First, its tiny dimensions (one-fifteenth the diameter of a penny) will make it possible to add radar-like functionality to almost any wireless device no matter how small it is. Second, the price of anything that can be manufactured in a silicon fabrication plant will plummet as the number of units shipped increases. Will the next decade be known as the "Radar Age"?
Maybe so. Hajimiri's radar on a chip could replace a lot of existing dish antennae, like the kind you have on your roof to watch satellite TV. The frequency at which the chip runs - 24 Gigahertz - falls right into the spectrum allocated by the FCC for vehicular radar systems. These chips could be embedded into a car to give it 360-degree, all weather vision, protecting the occupants from reckless drivers and other highway hazards.

Real Player really sucks. Excellent analysis of the obnoxiousness of RealOne's defaults, which hijack the hell out of your Windows box and install shortcuts everywhere imaginable and grab anything remote AV and try to play it back in Real and spam you with upsell offers and other creepiness. I like MPlayer and VLC for playing back Real, WMV, and MPEG files, as well as DivXes and the like.
If you choose the custom install, the process is a blend between an installer and a Pokemon-like game of gotta-uncheck-all-checkboxes.
Because, if you don't catch em all, Real Player assumes you want shortcuts to it on the desktop, in the Quick Launch bar next to the start-menu, in the top of the start-menu, another desktop shortcut to "free offers" from real.com, a third desktop shortcut to "Free Aol & unlimited internet", and last but not least, a special option in the windows search-menu called "Audio/video search". Note that Real Player does not just create a folder in the start-menu programs-folder, like most apps do, but claims a seat in the top of the start-menu, for quick and easy access. Besides all these short-cuts, Real Player also installs a shortcut in the programs-folder of the start-menu, and another folder, called "Real", in the programs-folder.

Mojo Nixon retiring. Mojo Nixon is retiring after a final show at this year's SXSW in Austin -- as a side-note, I have to say how refreshing it is to see the <blink> tag still in use after all these years of derision and deprecation.
"I have nothing more to say," says Nixon. "Not only am I empty, but obviously nobody gives a rat's ass about the things I have been saying for twenty years. The masses are just as blinded by the light of stupidity, prudery and the shiny objects of hate..."
"He has been on the cover of the Wall Street Journal, he has appeared nude in magazines, he has been in bad movies, been censored by Hustler magazine, three record companies and MTV, he played every possible music joint where nutjobs congregate in 45 states, he even played in Moosejaw, Saskatchewan and did a three-week tour of Norway," says longtime manager Scott Ambrose "Bullethead" Reilly. "He has suffered death threats; he sang with Don Henley; he has even been an answer on Jeopardy for God's Sake. He was the captain of a US Olympic team and debated Pat Buchanan. For us. He did this all for us."

Programmable credit-card to replace most of your wallet's contents. The Chameleon Card is a programmable credit-card and the Pocket Vault is a programming terminal for it. Feed it your credit-card magstripes and your loyalty-card bar-codes, seal it with your fingerprint, then, on demand, it can mimic any of the cards in your wallet. Oh, and it's got an RFID-mimic built in to replace your swipeless gas-pump card. This strikes me as simultaneously very cool and very creepy, and at $200, it seems too pricey to fly.
First-time users of the Pocket Vault will read their old credit cards with the device, which stores their information internally and backs it up to an online or local database in case the Pocket Vault is lost or stolen. Each credit card stored on the Pocket Vault is then represented by an icon on the device's touch-screen display.
The Pocket Vault also prompts its owners to place their fingerprints on the device's reader pad to create a biometric profile.
