LionShare technology (which is currently under development) will provide tools for the exchange of academic, personal and work-related materials on an officially sanctioned and secure P2P network among participating groups and institutions around the world.... This will extend LionShare's capabilities to a global scale by creating collaborative networks that will enable individuals from a diverse range of institutions to connect to the same secure P2P system.Re-read that stripping out the focus on academia and institutional uses.

Just noticed that in his track "God Only Knows" off of Fantasma, Cornelius samples The Jesus & Mary Chain's "Just Like Honey", which is the closing track of Lost In Translation as the credits begin to roll.

I just essentially inhaled ten sheets of finely sliced imported italian prosciutto. I had intended to *do* something with them...Well, I sure did do something...

all VERY well done!), I can't seem to find a resources center and a community support network for people to get really involved beyond choosing a license and applying it to their work - provided they get it and they actually produce stuff. There are loads of people who don't read weblogs, or WIRED magazine, who not only don't know that they as creatives have options, but also don't fully realize the cultural lock-down they are living in. Ignorance of rights and responsibilities is the death knell for freedom, choice, democracy...

Pop Montreal starts next week.Looking at the schedule and the roster of musicians, I am paralyzed.... other than the sold out Franz Ferdinand show ...I think I shall have to ask some advice, or just let myself be led astray by those who know better.

My stats are wonky and imprecise, and aside from a handful of regulars, I get very little feedback. I would love to know who's out there watching me!Please, leave a quick a comment on this post.

The first thing that comes into my head, you mean?Guildenstern: No--the first thing you remember.Rosencrantz: Ah.... What's the first thing you remember after all the things you've forgotten?Rosencrantz: Oh, I see.

I find myself cringing, internally and externally, as did Dustin Hoffman in "The Graduate", when confronted with this bit of advice.Except today it's "marketing", not "plastics", and the advice giver is an older me, and not some ancient neighbor.I cringe at the inherent evil in any such enterprise: pursuing so unnatural an affair, just because you know you can capture and corner a market by making a widget no one else has thought of.Unnatural how?... And just as now we have things that could not be made of anything other than plastic, we now have cultures entirely made up of marketing.

Context: Previous Björk entry: Björk's Pirate Flag Björk.com Medúlla Interview This Blog Sits at the: Björk: Shapes, not patterns Voir.ca - Le chant des possibles (fr) First of all, Medúlla is still standing at the gates of my ear, ring the bell hoping to get into my head.... ;) Second, as far as being "Avant Garde" or "fresh and new", lest it be noted that many have done technically the same thing (produced music from "found sounds"), not least of all Björk collaborators Matmos.

Macs were big on the agenda the last few days as I prepared and delivered my old G4 PowerMac to my friend Kim, fixed Ms. S's, and reinstalled Panther from scratch on my Powerbook.... With the dishes done, the laundry not done, and the apartment half vacuumed, for some god-unknown reason I attack my MP3 archive.

Sillyness.

Reading the IHT article on Ars Electronica, mildly surprised (not really) by how much verbiage Joi gets in it.

If there is one thing weblogs ARE, it seems to be "hard to grasp".A month ago I posted this "moblog" entry (which is just a weblog entry with a picture which was posted from a mobile device) showing two cans of Korean-market Japanese sports drink "Pocari Sweat" (think Gatorade), which I got here, on the other end of the planet in a Korean grocery store.

In broad terms, hyperbole generator you love to hate)--> culture is where the social - groups of individuals interacting - meets media & technology.There are plenty of technologists with weblogs, the social sciences people jumped on board about 6 to 9 months ago (in force anyways, and from where I am sitting). Journalists got invited to a fight, and the marketing world has been flexing it's muscle lately as well.What a joy it is to find the culture wonks getting in on the game!

Convictions are good for locking ourselves up in little cages.

Still wobbly from three days of flu (again...), I am about to leave for my best buddy's wedding.Due to the fact that I could barely see straight the last few days, I am stuck making due with what is left in my closet.Damn. Forgot I threw out all my white shirts...Damn.

So I am running late on this little "thing I wanna do" so I am going to make a quick pre-announcement here right now.Basically I am starting a small "Weblog Services" business.

daikini released "Photon" the other day. Not a week ago I was hunting around and trying various tools that would allow me to easily create photo galleries in Movable Type, in my inimitable picky style.
