Prince Charles and Genetically Modified Food

  „Your Reith lecture saddened me. I have deep sympathy for your aims, and admiration for your sincerity. But your hostility to science will not serve those aims; and your embracing of an ill-assorted jumble of mutually contradictory alternatives will lose you the respect that I think you deserve.“

Design Observer: writings about design & culture: It's a Man's World

  „not only was the subject matter designed to build hype, it was designed to build hype around issues which naturally breed insecurity in most folks—and move issues off of racks fast.“

Mechanisms:

  „What follows is the first of what I hope will be a series of occasional excerpts from my current book project, Mechanisms: New Media and the New Textuality. This material is drawn from the first chapter, entitled “Extreme Inscription.” Readers here will note that I’ve been posting a fair amount on magnetic media and disk storage, the subject for this chapter; indeed, bits and pieces of those posts are finding their way into the manuscript (in that regard the blog has been an invaluable freewriting tool). This excerpt is presented in a more polished state, but of course it’s still very much in draft and I’d greatly appreciate comments of any kind.“

LCP | "The Movies Are": Excerpt

  „He loved the psychological depth of director Erich von Stroheim and the formulashoot-’em-up adventures of cowboy star Buck Jones. Sandburg felt equally at home extolling the virtues of artistic Europeanmovies as he did in recommending novelty films featuring all-canine or all-monkey casts. He once compared the moodycinematography of a Rin-Tin-Tin picture to that of the German Expressionist classic The Cabinet of Dr.“

The Full Lineout

  „At out-half, Runnacles is equally well-able to run with the ball or kick for possession deep in opposition territory. Centers Hargittai and Waring are quick on the break while wingers Brighouse and Mandle create havoc with the slower defences of other blogs. Finally Healy at full back is perhaps the only question mark in an otherwise impeccable line-up.“

The Matt Damon Column

  „While a top exec at one studio flew to New York for last week's screening (see indieWIRE May 17), and other distribs, including another LA-based studio, have also shown interest in the Ben Affleck, Matt Damon-starrer, claimed one Cannes source. The press will get a chance to see if the "comic fantasia" lives up to all the hype in a special industry screening this morning (Friday) at 11 a.m.“

  „But an equally big deal ('till v2) is that we managed to push through offering this year's BBC Reith Lectures as DRM-free, mp3 downloads. They'll be added to the site after each lecture (looks like first one will go up Thursday morning). This may not sound like a big deal to folks, but this 'trial' is something we haven't managed to do before - so we're hoping there's a good reaction from punters.“

Good news for BBC radio Internet listeners

  „2) Someone at the BBC has decided to allow the Reith lectures to go out as MP3s as well as streamed audio, just as one of the first and most popular campaigns on their iCan campaign site requested. It’s a pity they decided to record voice at 64Kbps only (so the file size is large). Even if you don’t want to listen to the Reith lectures visit the page where there is a form and register your support for MP3s!“
