Against Transparency

by karlcow

Likewise with transparency. There is no questioning the good that transparency creates in a wide range of contexts, government especially. But we should also recognize that the collateral consequence of that good need not itself be good. And if that collateral bad is busy certifying to the American public what it thinks it already knows, we should think carefully about how to avoid it.

Adblock Plus and (a little) more: Managing locales - now the generic way

by karlcow

very generic script. The downside is of course that it can only have a subset of the functionality — namely verifying that the files are valid UTF-8, don’t have a BOM and that the syntax is correct. It also happens to recognize a larger part of the DTD syntax than the Adblock Plus script because it doesn’t need to extract the data out of the DTD files.

Home of the Geotag Icon Project

by camel & 3 others (via)
The Geotag Icon is intended as a web "standard" icon for identifying geotagged content to humans. The advent of inexpensive GPS devices and free tools like Google Maps or Flickr Map mean that more and more people are associating their content (typically blog posts or photos) with a specific geographic location. Such "geotagging" stores coordinates within metadata or microformat tags—where machines can find them but people can't. That's where the Geotag Icon comes in. It provides a visual reference to a map link, or if no link is yet made helps viewers recognize the geographic relevance of the content. It's free, easy to use and helps us all visualize the developing semantic web.

We are only starting on this journey. Image search on the web hasn't changed significantly in many years. We are a geeky (and proud of it) group of engineers and researchers who are slowly innovating in this area. We look forward to your feedback via email or via our blog. - The Riya Team

CorporatePig Base : Meredith Dittmar

by josephine & 2 others
Meredith Dittmar is an artist living and playing in Portland OR. Dittmars human-animal-plant-energy amalgams contain threads of common elements and colors to express deep levels of union across themes of biology, technology, and consciousness . Her characters are frequently involved in quiet expressive moments, or lounge facing their audience so they can share their inner space. Dittmar believes it is this space we recognize in ourselves, and through convening in that space, the interconnectedness of all things is revealed. She sees the act of spontaneous artistic creation as part of a larger practice of being present, and a way to better understand herself and reality.

Academic Metamorphosis at UPEI

by McDonna
Charlottetown Guardian - Sept 21, 2007 Metamorphosis: an academic's version HENRY SREBRNIK Many readers will recognize the opening sentence of Franz Kafka's 1915 short story 'The Metamorphosis': "One morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that in bed he had been changed into a monstrous verminous bug." We all realize this is a metaphor for one of our worst nightmares: that suddenly everything one has been has disappeared, and one is, inexplicably, someone entirely - and horribly - different. The rock group The Talking Heads gave voice to this same fear in their 1981 song 'Once in a Lifetime': And you may find yourself Living in a shotgun shack And you may find yourself In another part of the world And you may ask yourself Where is that large automobile? And you may tell yourself This is not my beautiful house! And you may tell yourself This is not my beautiful wife! Kafka's narrative brings to life our dread at being cast adrift and cut off from others. I was thinking of "Metamorphosis" recently in regard to what I've seen happening at our University of Prince Edward Island, where a - dare we call it Kafka-esque? - policy of mandatory retirement at age 65 has been in effect for the past dozen or so years. It holds true even for those who have had relatively short careers and therefore fairly meager pensions. They have been put out to pasture while still able to teach and write just as well as - indeed, perhaps better than - professors who are 20 years their junior. The university's inflexibility has resulted in grievances brought before the P.E.I. Human Rights Commission by a number of faculty who have been forced to retire. Some, for financial or personal reasons, have managed to return to teach as part-time 'sessionals', lowly paid contract workers with no job security, whose courses can be cancelled at the last minute. So perhaps an academic version of the Kafka story would begin like this: "One morning, as (fill in with the name of a famous academic, for example Benedict Anderson or Samuel Huntington) was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that in bed he had been changed into a sessional. No longer teaching at (fill in with the name of a well-known university, say Cornell or Harvard), he was now hustling for courses at (Siberia U., Boondocks College, etc.), pleading with an administration for teaching. He was told he could only teach a course if 10 students were to sign up for it." We all get the picture. It's a shame that UPEI has come to treat its loyal faculty, people who have devoted their professional lives to the institution, in such a callous manner. Henry Srebrnik, a professor of political studies at UPEI, will be approaching the age of mandatory retirement in a few years.
