Who Wants What? Google Insight on Spam, Pirated Software and Other Fun Stuff

Ethan Zuckerman

Oh man. Google Insights for Search is good fun. I’m supposed to spend this week finishing a number of writing projects. But I spent almost all today running different searches and being basically stunned at how much data’s available through the interface. I mentioned earlier today that Google makes “related” search information available - there’s much deeper information available through the CSV interface, giving fifty associated terms for most searches. I have...

ETech Goes Worldchanging

Alex Steffen

ETech -- the excellent O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference, where I spoke last year (video here, though not my finest talk, unfortunately, as I had an airplane flu) -- has released their call for proposals, and it kicks butt: Living, Reinvented: The Technology of Abundance and Constraints We live in two worlds: one filled with abundance and the other with constraints. Each has its own favorite—or essential to survival—inventions and directions. Each has been deeply affected by...

From Sampling to Monitoring to Gulping Data Down in Great Big Chunks

Alex Steffen

One of the forces facilitating the possibility of a bright green economic transformation is insight into the systems around us, particularly the kind of insight we gain through making visible the invisible and manifesting backstories. As the price of using technology to sample, monitor, sense, aggregate and communicate data continues to drop rapidly, we face a rift between the sheer dumbness of the built world and industrial systems we've inherited, and our rapidly-expanding insight into how...

Gold Farmers

Regine Debatty

The documentary i was dying to see at the Homo Ludens Ludens exhibition at LABoral in Gijon was Gold Farmers, by Ge Jin. Image courtesy of Ge Jin Gold Farmers are young people who earn their living by playing MMORPG games. They acquire ("farm") items of value within a game, usually by carrying out in-game actions repeatedly to maximize gains, sometimes by using a program such as a bot or automatic clicker. They sell the artificial gold coins and other virtual goods they've harvested to...

New Brave World workshop: RFID and art

Regine Debatty

It's Monday and although everyone else is probably thanking Easter break for providing them with an opportunity to lay in bed until lunch time, i've been up early to give the final touch of my presentation about RFID and art at the RFID workshop that iMAL organizes this week in Brussels as part of its series of New Brave World events. With Hidden Numbers, Meghan Trainor Just a parenthesis: tomorrow at 8,30 pm Atau Tanaka will give a talk at iMAL about Mobile Music and his other locative...

Information Visualization is a Medium

Regine Debatty

I arrived in San Diego for etech08 after a 25 hour trip. The morning after i was sitting in the main conference room wondering why on earth i was doing that to myself. I could have stayed quietly in Europe, avoided the jetlag and the artificial food enriched with extra-anti-oxidants and extra-vitamins. ... Until Eric Rodenbeck, founder and creative director of Stamen Design, took the floor and gave his waaaay too short talk on Information Visualization is a Medium. He highlighted a couple...

Nanotechnology and the Near Future

Alex Steffen

Mike Treder looks back over the first five years of the Center for Responsible Nanotechnology's work, and draws some conclusions about where we are and where we're going in the field of nanotechnology: There is a huge difference between saying that nanofactories will be developed someday and saying that they will be developed soon. We have based our appeals to policy makers and to the public on the idea that immediate action was needed. Originally, we claimed that the technology “might...

Emerging Technology 2008

Jon Lebkowsky

Our own Alex Steffen is a keynote speaker at ETech 2008, O'Reilly's Emerging Technology Conference, March 3-6 in San Diego. ETech is an excellent jam session on technology innovation, also exploring the implications, ethical and otherwise, of new technology developments - worldchanging stuff. The social web of today pretty much had its gestation at Etech gatherings in the early 2000s.
