Learning from Shogun

by Takwann (via)
Learning from SHOGUN was distributed by the Japan Society of New York through the good offices of Peter Grilli, and two printings quickly sold out. The authors are pleased to make it available here in PDF format for interested readers and teachers, but please remember that this is copyrighted material and may not be reproduced for more than personal or instructional use. Note that the PDF version is bookmarked for easy access to the separate chapters. We also want to emphasize that Learning from SHOGUN is about Clavell's novel, not about either the TV miniseries or the feature film versions. A postscript to the book does offer my own first impressions of the miniseries, however, of which I was able to see a preview before it appeared on national television.

Be Still.

by blackgoldfish (via)
We are always on, always connected, always thinking, always talking. There is no time for stillness — and sitting in front of a frenetic computer all day, and then in front of the hyperactive television, doesn’t count as stillness. This comes at a cost: we lose that time for contemplation, for observing and listening. We lose peace.

TNT avec fransat - Racket - Sat-Television.com - Satellite Encryption

by decembre
visiblement certains n'ont toujours pas compris le racket : la TNT, elle s'est pas autofinancée toute seule, elle a été payé par le contribuable français via ses impots (qui finance TDF) et la redevance. Donc obligé a redebourser 99 euros pour un deco dont on a pas forcément besoin (a fortiori si on traine ici c'est qu'on a deja du matos sat), c'est du racket organisé avec le concours de l'état. et effectivement rien ne les oblige a crypter (si ce n'est les pressions des majors et de la LFP) et comme en suisse ou en GB, on pourrait tres bien obtenir juste la carte en attestant que l'on es résidant fr. mais le racket serait alors moins juteux pour c+(TNT sat) et eutelsat (fransat) __________________

Joining the docs - Us Now

by karlcow

Mass communication is a phrase that’s been re-defined over the centuries, as tools to transfer what people think, what they want and how they feel have developed with human progress. Cave paintings, language, stone indentations, the written word, the printing press, the gramophone, the telephone, cinema, radio, television, computers – and now the Internet.

The Plenitude - The MIT Press

by karlcow

We live with a lot of stuff. The average kitchen, for example, is home to stuff galore, and every appliance, every utensil, every thing, is compound—composed of tens, hundreds, even thousands of other things. Although each piece of stuff satisfies some desire, it also creates the need for even more stuff: cereal demands a spoon; a television demands a remote. Rich Gold calls this dense, knotted ecology of human-made stuff the "Plenitude." And in this book—at once cartoon treatise, autobiographical reflection, and practical essay in moral philosophy—he tells us how to understand and live with it.

Pulse Laser: Here & There influences

by karlcow & 1 other

I’m going to tell you a little bit about the influences on Here & There, a project about representation of urban places, from when it began. It was warmly received when I first presented some corners of it back at Design Engaged in 2004, before Schulze & Webb existed. Here & There is a projection drawing from maps, comics, television, and games.

This particular version is a horizonless projection in Manhattan. The project page is here, where large prints of the uptown and downtown views can be seen and are available to buy.

3VOOR12 - Luisterpaal - Full Album Streams

by garret & 1 other
"This is a Dutch site, in Dutch, leaving me with next to no idea what is going on here--except that, clearly, this site at any given time hosts a bunch of cool album streams. It's all very legal and above board, as the Luisterpaal (which might or might not mean "listening pole") is part of something called the VPRO, which is a television and radio network in the Netherlands. As far as I can see you'll find streams here that you won't anywhere else, and they change with unrelenting regularity. Best of all, the people behind this have really eclectic--and excellent--taste. Highly recommended" [http://www.fingertipsmusic.com/streamings.htm]

Say goodbye nicely to peace | Lisa Goldman

by srcmax (via)
On page 30, Elinor Davidov writes about a 40-episode television documentary called Gaza-Sderot, Life in Spite of Everything. Each episode features an interview with an ordinary person on either side of the border, describing daily life. The result is a fascinating combination of drama and banality that makes each episode worth watching. It was co-produced by a staff from Sderot’s Sapir College, Gaza’s Ramattan Studios and the German-French arte.tv (photos and bio blurbs are here).
