Heatsink for your pillow. The Chillow is a non-electric heat-sink you put under your pillow to keep it cool at night.
The Chillow was designed to match your body’s cooling needs. At night after an active day, when your metabolism is high and you’re hot, the Chillow is cool and refreshing. But in the the early a.m. hours, when your metabolism is low due to inactivity, and air temperature is at it’s coolest, the Chillow is lightly cool to lightly tepid, which is exactly the temperature you will enjoy. After you get out of bed, the Chillow loses any accumulated heat and recharges so it’s ready to go again at naptime, or at bedtime. There is no maintenance required, save sweeping the air out once per month, which takes approx. 20 seconds.

Profanity and broadcasting: New FCC actions, and the Loh-down. Last night in LA, I went to a big fucking party thrown by the fucking LA Press Club to show some fucking support for Sandra Fucking Tsing Loh, snarky host of "The Loh Life." The radio humorist was abruptly sacked from KCRW after her fucking engineer failed to bleep a certain fucking four letter word from a fucked-out taped comedic monologue. Fuck!
Her commentaries had previously included deliberately-bleeped words for comic effect, but the production goof came at a time of intense concern by broadcasters over new FCC scrutiny. Nipplegate, Howard Stern, now Loh. Station manager Ruth Seymour later apologized and offered to re-hire, but Loh declined. The whole story's here (and you can still hear Loh on NPR's Marketplace, here). LA Times update here.
There's good reason for concern, as evidenced by a recent decision by congress -- which passed 391-22-- to substantially increase fines, penalties and license reviews for 'indecent' or 'profane' material. BoingBoing pal Ernest Miller says:
"For years the FCC has been regulating 'indecent' speech. Recently, of course, this has become a big deal, what with Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction and Bono saying 'This is really, really f-ing great!' at the Golden Globes. Now, however, the FCC has really taking a big step forward in regulating speech. For the first time they have declared speech not only 'indecent' but 'profane' as well. If the FCC's argument about profane speech is upheld, any 'grossly offensive' speech, whether or not related to sex or excretion, could be banned from the airwaves."

AccordionGuy's notes from Cory's reading.
Joey "AccordionGuy" DeVilla attended my reading last night at the Merril Collection; he's posted great notes on the event:
I arrived about ten minutes into Cory's session, during a reading of what I later found out was Human Readable. Every seat in the Merril room was full; many were occupied by what The Onion might term "high-profile Area Nerds". Sci-fi authors Mike Skeet and Karl Schroeder took their places near the back of the audience, while closer to the front were Ian Goldberg (who has forgotten more about computer security than I will ever learn) and his wife Kat. As the reading went on, a guy sitting down in front of me drew an impressionistic sketch into a handmade blank book. Everyone's attention was focused on Cory, who sat at a desk beside a large bottle of water, looking trim (Atkins and a busy schedule will do that) in a two-tone Blogger T-shirt. You never forget your first blogging tool.

Journalists "suspend their disbelief whenever someone starts waving
a paedophile on a string". NTK this week savages the UK media for gullibly swallowing the story of the NannieBots, chatbots that entrap paedophiles:
The BBC, The Register, New Scientist and all fell over
themselves this week to promote "NannieBots", a set of
"self-replicating" bots to fight chatroom "grooming". These
bots, relays their master Jim Wightman, guard kids'
chatrooms from predators, and "behave like humans, sound
like humans... but with one massive difference - they never
sleep". The idea of handing over your kids' safety to Eliza
the Psychiatrist may not be that reassuring. But don't worry
- these bots use "neural networks" to become "the most
advanced artificial intelligence in the world"! Looking
through the transcript of a NannieBot/Human interaction in
New Scientist, maybe he's right. Certainly this "IT
consultant from Wolverhampton in the West Midlands" has
either managed the greatest step forward in Artificial
Intelligence since Marvin Minsky scraped a pass in the
Turing Test - or this was a very carefully rigged demo. In
the transcript given, NannieBot seems to be able to make
logical deductions, parse colloquial English, correctly
choose the correct moment to scan a database of UK national
holidays, comment on the relative qualities of the Robocop
series, and divine the nature of pancakes and pancake day.
We look forward to the NannieBot sweeping the board at this
year's Loebner Prize. Either that, or journalists to stop
suspending their disbelief whenever someone starts waving
a paedophile on a string.

Meet Lucy, The Orangutan Robot. BoingBoing pal Roland says:
Lucy is not an ordinary robot, driven by software. She's a pure product of artificial intelligence (AI). And after a three-year long training, she's now able to make a difference between an apple and a banana, which is quite handy for an orang-utan, even if she doesn't eat them. Her five microcontroller chips wouldn't like this... In "A Grand plan for brainy robots," BBC News Online tells us that Lucy is the brainchild of Steve Grand, an honorary research fellow at Cardiff University's School of Psychology. And why did he choose an orang-utan design? "I made Lucy as an orang-utan because, can you imagine how scary it would be if she looked like a human baby?," said Grand. More details and references are available in this overview which also includes the cover of Grand's last book, 'Growing Up with Lucy: How to Build an Android in Twenty Easy Steps.

The great ugg boots war. Spencer sez: "Recently, a friend of mine from Australia was attempting to sell some ugg boots (note that's with a lowercase u) on eBay and received a note from them that she couldn't use the word "ugg" anywhere in their title or description because the trademark owner had threatened them. Knowing that "ugg" is a generic Australian term for sheepskin boots and has been used for years (to the point that it's in the dictionary), she was more than a little annoyed. We were inspired to do some research and discovered that the American company Deckers has been attempting to wrest control of the word "ugg" using legal threats for some time now." Link
Grant Barrett, Assistant Editor, Lexical Reference and Project Editor, Historical Dictionary of American Slang for Oxford University Press sez: "The Macquarie Dictionary ('Australia's National Dictionary') indicates that the Australian ug/ugh/ugg boots derive from a trademark. The OED concurs and defines them as 'a proprietary name for a type of soft, sheepskin boot' indicating that it is used in Australian and New Zealand. The original spelling appears to have been 'Ugh.'" |
