Who’s around

I’ve been search­ing the net for soft­ware allow­ing com­mu­ni­ca­tion between peo­ple shar­ing the same wi-fi con­nec­tion for a cou­ple of days now. Trepia is close — it’s basi­cally an IM client based on access points. What I really want, though, … Con­tinue read­ing

Hey, it’s only a game

This game — America’s Army — is bound to get hacked or tam­pered with in some way. (link via Boing­Bo­ing) The setup of game vs. war is so obvi­ously weird it’s hard to come up with any decent com­ment rang­ing … Con­tinue read­ing

DVD-kid retrial

Appa­rantly, the stu­pid­ity never stops. Accord­ing to Aften­posten (link via Slash­Dot), Jon’s legal vic­tory didn’t last long, as Økokrim has decided to appeal. While not a very big sur­prise, it adds to the amount of stu­pid­ity sur­round­ing the busi­ness of … Con­tinue read­ing

Russian Avantgarde

Finally went to Louisiana to see MOMAs exhi­bi­tion of Russ­ian avant­garde Books. Truly mag­nif­i­cent — can’t rec­om­mend it enough if you’re into con­struc­tivist graphic design. A prior knowl­edge of the sub­ject or a good tour guide won’t harm though, as … Con­tinue read­ing

Wearing those gadgets

Clever bastards, eh

It only took RIIA about three years and a bunch of stu­pid law­suits to aknowl­edge the need for legal ser­vices dis­trib­ut­ing music. Nice going, con­grat­u­la­tions on get­ting your vision back as well as the abil­ity of hear­ing. Prac­ti­cally every­one has … Con­tinue read­ing

Pretty geeky

Impact

This is good to see. Free­dom of speech is one thing, using a whole pop­u­la­tion to back up sim­pli­fied cow­boy pol­i­tics is another. Stat­ing that you’re either for or against is just plain ridicu­lous… Fas­cism appa­rantly didn’t exist in vain…
