Christo "The Gates" parodies: "The Crackers"

Xeni Jardin:

The second installation in Boing Boing's coverage of works inspired by Christo's "Gates" installation in Central Park -- "The Crackers" is comprised entirely of orange cheese crackers.

Anonymous Conceptual Snack Aficiondo says,

"My co-worker went to see The Gates this week with her husband over lunch, enjoying the unseasonably warm weather. They loved the work, and really appreciated the dedication of Christo and Jean Claude. The lunch and their work found a synergistic inspiration, and they created their own homage with the orange sandwich crackers that they bought. They took pictures, which really turned out beautifully. Who knew that Christo had so much in common with snack crackers!"

Christo's "Gates": let the internet parodies commence!

Xeni Jardin:

This parody of Christo's "Gates" art installation in New York's Central Park features "Gates of Hargo" placed in various places throughout a home. The "about" page includes some rip-snortin' comparisons between "Hargo's" gates and those of Christo. Highlights include "The Feeding Gates," featuring a fat tabby cat, and "The Poopatorium Gates," leading to you-know-where.

HOWTO get something posted to Boing Boing

Cory Doctorow: We depend on the suggestions we get from you folks for the raw fodder for Boing Boing. We get a lot of suggested sites. Here's an explanation of the best way to get a link published here:

Dos:

  1. Do use the form.
    The Boing Boing suggest-a-site form gets sent to all four editors, quadrupling your chances of getting your link posted. It pre-formats your suggestion for easy posting. It helps us sort through and categorize our mail, ensuring your suggestion isn't lost in the shuffle. Half the time when we get a link suggestion by email, we can't figure out whether it's spam, a suggestion or just something the sender thinks we might want to look at. We never, ever post suggestions we get by email -- only stuff that comes in via the form.

  2. Do describe the link

    This is the second most important thing to do if you want your suggestion to show up on Boing Boing. Tell us what the link is, and why you think we'll be interested. We get a lot of suggestions and we visit a lot of sites and life is too short to click on links that we've probably already seen -- if you can't be bothered to describe the link, we won't be bothered to look at it.

  3. Do include your email

    It's optional, but if you send us a suggestion and don't include an email address, then we can't write back to you with questions and clarifications. (We don't publish your email address, we don't spam your email address)

  4. Do include your URL

    If you have a URL that you'd like us to link back to in the attribution section, include it in the form, and remember the http:// !

Don'ts:

  1. Don't submit links by email

    See Do number 1: we mean it. Sending stuff by the form is the only way to suggest a link for Boing Boing. No exceptions.

  2. Don't follow up your submissions with email

    Don't send us emails telling us you sent us links -- we get thousands of emails and getting your suggestion and your reminder of your suggestion just adds work. We look at every submission we get.

  3. Don't be cute in your description

    When we say "Describe the link," we mean just that: where does the link go, and why is it interesting? Don't be cryptic in your description, don't obscure it with humor, don't bury the description under paragraphs of preamble about something that's not the link.

  4. Don't send in stuff without links

    If you saw something cool on TV or received something interesting in email, you need to either find it on the Web or publish it on the Web before suggesting it. Boing Boing publishes links -- so if there's no link, there's not much chance we'll link to it.

We know how much fun it is to share cool links with other people and we're really glad when you choose to share them with us. But when you send us links without describing them, or by email, or when you send in followups, or write confusing descriptions, you're wasting your time. The best way to get something on Boing Boing is to try to do what we try to do: find something interesting, write an informative blurb about it, and send it along.

A Blogging Black Box

My Poynter colleague Larry Larsen points out an interesting new "blogging appliance" released by the company WhatCounts. This is a rack-mounted unit the provides blog, podcast, and other content publishing capabilities in a plug-and-play box.

The device is targeted at corporations that want to get into blogging. A key feature is an approval process and permission system that allows blog content to be approved before publication -- a critical issue for most corporations when they're thinking about entering the free-wheeling world of blogging.

This sounds like something the news industry might investigate, too. Many editors, of course, (...)

Podcast Pioneers

Earlier this week I noted how "podcasting" looks to be a smart thing for news organizations to experiment with. And no sooner had I published that thought than I heard of some news podcast pioneers.

First, at the website of the Ventura County Star in California, the online crew today begins a regular podcast featuring audio headlines, snips of audio interviews, some calendar features, a song by a local band, and opinions from the Star's Opinion staff. There also will be a phone line for listeners to call in with their "60-second" opinions to be included, according to (...)

Jon Stewart: Es wird ernst?

Das ist ja mal ein Gerücht, das ich so gar nicht deuten kann:

“Jon Stewart, who recently celebrated his sixth anniversary with “The Daily Show” and was a rumored possible replacement to Dan Rathers, has signed a deal which allows his production team, Busboy Productions, to develop televison projects on their own.” (Quelle: Slashdot, 18.02.2005)

Der “Comedian” Jon Stewart, Host der äusserst beliebten US-SatireNachrichtenLatenight “Daily Show”, ist als Nachfolger des von Bloggern erlegten Dan Rather, über Jahre eines der Sinnbilder für seriöse News im US-Fernsehen, im Gespräch?

“”Those days are over when you have that guy sitting behind the desk who everyone believes to the `nth’ degree,” [CBS chief] Moonves told reporters. “It’s sort of an antiquated way of news telling and maybe there’s a new way of doing it.” […] Asked twice, Moonves wouldn’t rule out a role on the evening news for Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart, whose “The Daily Show” skewers politicians and the news media each night. ” (Quelle: CBS News, 18.02.2005)

Jemand, der 6 Jahre “Fake-News” präsentiert hat (die allerdings oft näher an der Wahrheit sind, als das, was FoxNews und Co. senden) soll nun ein seriöses Newsformat präsentieren?

[…] Jon Stewart, dessen Late Nite “Daily Show” in den USA bekanntlich längst das politisch meinungsbildende Medium für jüngere US-Amerikaner ist. Und zwar nicht, obwohl es sich offiziell um eine Satire-Sendung handelt, sondern WEIL. […] (Quelle: taz, 01.11.2004)

Und Henry Gründler moderiert demnächst die Tagesthemen, ja? Wie surreal ist das denn bitte?
