<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seani B does the ‘refixes’ on Radio 1, and they are quality. This mix has been done in honour of black history month. It is only five minutes long, but he covers 50 years of music in that time period. Amazingly well too.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bilderna är från årets Re:Orients sista konsert där Zakaria uppträdde den 5e oktober i Stockholms Konserthus vid Hötorget. Det var ingen konsert som tilltalade mig precis men det beror nog på för att jag inte gillar Zakarias låtar. "Kurdistans pop-kung" är vad han kallas av internationella medier.</p>

<p>trotuarul din fata blocului este udat, asa cum se uda asfaltul cu o sticla, inainte de a fi maturat.</p>
<p>azi-dimineata ieseam veseli spre o noua zi de gradi&#38;munca. ingrid se opreste in capul scarilor: wow! ce model frumos!</p>
<p>femeia a zambit!</p>

Fråga en som passerat 30, då är det inte så viktigt längre.<br />
På tal om ålder, 105 år gammal och fortfarande oskuld!? You Go Little old ladie! Det borde ge Nobels fredspris eller något. Läs artikeln på <a href="http://www.aftonbladet.se/wendela/relationer/article3505552.ab" target="_blank">AB.</a></p>

<p>- starbucks has the largest wireless cloud in the world - they are now an entertainment channel<br />
- doing the same with internet connection as they did with music cds<br />
- war chalking / war driving<br />
- hobo culture / signs / graffity to communicate and warn one another<br />
- marks on buildings to let people know where free internet access is around the city<br />
- notion of privacy of how much of your life is public and how much is private<br />
- google is keeping track of every single search that we do<br />
- web crawler and cyber squatters flipping internet domains</p>
<p>drift.relay in san jose by glowlab<br />
"information wants to be free" = guiding moto of open source movement<br />
book called "The Long Tale" - by Chris Anderson who is the editor of Wired Magazine<br />
- digital content (sitting on a hard drive) versus brick and mortar inventory in a store<br />
- there will be a market for my work<br />
- eventually you will be able to buy the license to a piece of content that you have already paid for (cd, dvd, blue-ray, next gen...)<br />
- digital has transformed everything<br />
- google is the single largest data mining enterprise in the world - save every search until 2038</p>
<p>- google knol - is this the precursor of the CIC (Central Intelligence Corporation - Snow Crash)?<br />
- knol = unit of knowledge - go and get information and if you want more, you can pay for it<br />
- Google is giving you information that they THINK you may want<br />
- civil liberties = main concern: aggregation of personal data in commercial databases<br />
- government databases are subject to privacy act<br />
- commercial databases fall outside of privacy act, and the use of contractors has transformed law enforcement<br />
- ChoicePoint or Seisint, aggregate data from commercial transactions with public records (prescriptions, groceries, travel plans, criminal records)</p>
<p>- potential for abuse<br />
- concentrated target for hackers, identty thieves and authorities otherwise constrained by privacy act<br />
- Seisint compiled a list of 120,000 based of a "terrorist quotient", a profile they created including ethnicity and religious beliefs and handed it over to law enforcement<br />
- Florida relied on ChoicePoint to identify convicted felons registered to vote - as many as 1 in 7 were wrongfully expunged from the voters list (voter margin in 2000 was 537 votes)</p>
<p>RFID - Radio Frequency Identification<br />
- shock bracelets with EMD Technology (Electro-Muscular Disruption)<br />

<p>Privacy and Social Networks<br />
Google's Value Proposition - "is to figure out what people want, but to read our minds, they need to know a lot about us"<br />
- will pull ads containing certain keywords, but will not state what those keywords are<br />
- handed over user-records of Orkut to Brazilian government for an investigation<br />
(orkut is a social networking service which is run by Google and named after its creator, an employee of Google - Orkut Büyükkökten. The service states that it was designed to help users meet new friends and maintain existing relationships.)<br />
- censored and constrained its Chinese search-engine to gain access to that market<br />
- the Chinese government is in the process of saving SKYPE messages that pass through mainland China and now SKYPE has ended their relationship with their Chinese affiliate</p>
<p>Google Streets - recorded some random kid who saw the Google van drive by and he ended up wiping out on his bike<br />

<p>189 Satellites that don't officially exist (spy satellites CIA, KGB)<br />
iridium satellite flashes - search when the satellite will flash on the web<br />

<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#800000;">5</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;">Directors Deborah Richardson-Webb and Robert Walton have devised this piece in collaboration with final year Contemporary Theatre Practice students. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;">The five performers of 5 have formed a quintet to explore the Fifth Dimension. After all 5 is the magic number. So they've tried it on as a Fibonacci, have become the Famous Five, pleaded the Fifth Amendment and worked nine 'til... guess when? You see 5 has been declared a mystical number by Moses, Guru Gobind Singh, Dave Brubeck, Einstein and Janet Jackson, and this show has been created in order to work out why. </span></p>

<p>This is my friend Derek!!! He is literally one of my absolute FAVOURITE people to be in the presence of! He is an absolute delight &#38; revels in using fun words just like I am (like the word electrophoresis, for example)... so i have a blast &#38; a half talking to him. He has a huge heart &#38; a killer smile to go along with it [this photo does not do his smile justice, but he's fierce too!], and his laugh is contagious. We got to hang out with Chapstique and the rest of the Family Force 5 guys again at the Jewish Mother, the tiniest venue EVER at the beach, last night. it was packed to the brim, the building was shaking, and we had the time of our lives. They are the definition of FUN and their new songs are PHENOMENAL live.</p>
<blockquote><p> </p>
<p><em><strong>The walls begin to shake<br />
It's too much for the club to take<br />
It's shakin' like an Erfquake<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Back in college, <a href="http://personal.monm.edu/schell_hannah/Default.htm">Hannah Schell</a> was a professor who's zen-like knowledge could be, at times, a little overwhelming. When I received her assignment (<em>Make an effort to see all creatures as suffering and desiring happiness</em>), I sort of relegated it to the back of my mind &#38; figured I would devote proper time &#38; effort to it when the time came (not unlike how I handled most of Hannah's assignments in college). After toying with a number of ideas, I pressed for further instruction, hoping that maybe she would have something more specific &#38;, well, less contrived than the few possibilities that I'd cooked up.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Hannah explained that there are "several Buddhist meditative practices that involve expanding one's circle of compassion - moving out from people you know and care about, to include people you know and don't much care for, to the neighborhood, state, country, world, universe, etc." (her words, not mine). She suggested that I try imagining the collective suffering of the individuals around me - while stuck on a bus, perhaps, trapped in an airport, or otherwise surrounded by those who might be united by some sort of discomfort.</p>
<p>I was still thinking about Hannah's suggestions when I stumbled upon a blog for <a href="http://25challenge.blogspot.com/">The $25 Challenge</a>, an effort in which the <a href="http://www.feedingillinois.org/news/hunger-action-month/">Illinois Food Bank Association</a> challenged Illinoisians to sustain themselves for one week on just $25 - "the average weekly food stamp benefit an individual receives in Illinois". I found this figure staggering, &#38; decided to take on the challenge, with some slight NYC modifications, as an exercise in empathy.</p>
<p>I made my way over to the USDA's Food &#38; Nutrition Service website, which offers a handy little tool to help you estimate 1) if you're eligible for food stamps &#38; 2) if you are, how much aid you are eligible for on a monthly basis. After plugging in my vitals (assets, income, savings), I discovered that not only am I <em>eligible</em> for food stamps, but I am eligible for <strong>$191 OF FEDERAL AID PER MONTH</strong>.</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color:#000000;">An aside: it is when I write things like this that I am eternally grateful that my parents do not read my blog, nor are they, on the whole, particularly internet savvy, with the one noteworthy exception of the day that my father not only found his way onto Youtube but managed to navigate the site in order to find and email me <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL-uL2M3xvM">this video</a>.</span></p></blockquote>
<p>Knowing that I was eligible for an approximate $47 per week (that's $6.71 a day) in food stamps, I started the challenge last Wednesday, on the first of October. Now, I'll tell you right now: I followed no rules here, &#38; that made a huge difference in my "food stamp life" &#38; the life of an individual truly living on "Supplemental Nutrition Assistance" (why are the PC terms always so much more complicated/annoying?). I made a number of purchases which one would not be able to make were they restricted to government dollars: I Icebreakers gum for $1.99. I bought tea for $1.50. I bought a PBR for FIVE FUCKING DOLLARS (!!!!). Caveat on the beer, though: In New York, city of dreams, shitty beer is accompanied by  'free' pizza, &#38; thus, beer = dinner.</p>
<p>What I'm saying is that, though I was budgeting, I was skirting the issue in a serious way. I depended on my employer to provide me with lunch, tea &#38; biscuits (dear wonderful artist boss: I am sorry I ate all your biscuits). I milked fledgling relationships with baristas for free refills &#38; day-old-muffins. It was a pretty pathetic scene, made more pathetic by the ephiphany that it was not so far removed from my normal life.</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">Again, eternally grateful that my parents do not read this blog.</p>
<p>The most shameful part of this is that now, having fulfilled my week of 'food stamp living', I am free to wipe my hands clean. I did this project as a lark - I didn't commit to it as wholly as I could have, or experience the true difficulties faced by millions of families every day. I laughed my way through it, boasted, even, of what I was attempting, &#38; I played around, all the while telling myself <em>Well, I'm within my budget</em>. This project taught me, above all things, how ignorant I truly am to real, true poverty, how lucky I've been all my life.</p>
<p>I am going to give the $47 Challenge another go beginning Wednesday, October 15th, abiding by the true limitations of the <a href="http://www.fns.usda.gov/FSP/">Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program</a>. I encourage you to try it as well.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;">..on my lunchbreak listening to my ipod as usual; I have a 5 day playlist available randomly selected on my ipod, and I came across a few artists that I have had arguments in the past upon being called "legends in the game"...Now everyone has thier own opinion, and being that this is MY blog, and your reading it, I figured mine is what matters right now...Not all 7 of the rest of you guys opinions...Did people forget or discredit the acts of Brand Nubian, Onyx or Boot Camp Clik?...I call them legends because of the type of music they were making and how its pretty much still relevant and can be tolerated (by me) still to this day. Its some rappers now that rap about nothing and will be forgotten about due to the fact that the music lacks content...In some cases Onyx were pretty violent and people can say "Slam" was a type of song that might've gotten you killed at the wrong party, but at the same time, they never jumped around from different rap styles to impress a certain crowd. This is pretty much who they were and how they got busy on the mic.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Bacdafucup is a straight Onyx classic, and I can gurantee NOBODY knew that the late great Jam Master Jay did heavy production on the album which makes it even more relevant and interesting being that a flashy DJ from a legendary fly rap group took part in this rowdy type of hip hop scene..</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Brand Nubian and B.C.C?..they had content..ALOT of content...I have a different type of appreciation for these 2 groups just for the simple fact that these guys are muslim rappers and made it known from album content, covers/artwork, and even in the way they put thier songs in order on the album...Lord Jamar from Brand Nubian really influences me still to this day from older raps he gave us back in the early/mid 90s. Obviously when you're young, you cant comprehend on what your listening too, but as I got older and found myself still listening to what I grew up on, some tracks really help you look at life in a different format. Im not here to give a religious lesson/nor even encourage you to jump on Itunes and buy everything I say is hot, but if you have open ears check out the albums "In God we trust", "One for All" "Everything is Everything" and even the God Lord Jamars album "The 5% album"....its seriously good, GOOD timeless music.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">yes...I know its questions about why I havent mentioned GangStarr or Pete Rock and C.L Smooth yet when it comes to Five Percenter Rap......soon..real soon..I want my homie/boss to put you on what Pete Rock and C.L Smooth (his favorite group) did to the game while I explain how Guru and Premier are literally the reasons why I'm probably not in jail/dead/ or misled in life as of right now.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">meanwhile..<strong>WAKE UP!</strong></p>
