Kamikaze Girls

Were you one of those people who figured the talk show host in Lost in Translation had to be some sort of bizarre in joke? Nothing that weird could actually be on mainstream television, right? Wrong. That guy's actually the top rated talk show host in Japan and he doesn't even begin to scratch the surfact of just how bizarre Japanese pop culture can be. They've got some truly strange sub-cultures over there ... case in point: Kamikaze Girls. A luridly colored, adapted from a popular comic story about an unlikely friendship between a country girl fixated on 18th century France - hence the frilly dresses and parasols - and a member of an all female biker gang.

Go watch the trailer for this movie.

Even though I have no idea what is going on, I laughed out loud a few times.

Make sure you watch until the little commercial at the end comes on for an extra little laugh. ;-)

My Robot is better than your robot

I, ROBOT trailer, the director's cut

More on I, Robot -- Director Alex Proyas wasn't too crazy about the trailer Fox put together for his sci-fi opus so he edited his own version and posted it on his Mystery Clock website. Frankly, I'm still not impressed. Via The Movie Blog.

Curb Your Lord of the Rings

For those of you that are interested I'm in developement with World Wide Pants and Sci Fi on the early stages of another animated project currently entitled "Morth" which is (the simple pitch) a cross between Lord of the rings and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" (you fill in the blanks) (for the record I'm not joking- just so you know)

Brendon says it'll never get done because it'll be "too good" for "people".

Hey, he's got 15 Secret Songs on his website.

DHL: Not Cool

Remember how I liked FedEx InterNet Ship?

No?

Oh, well I liked it. NOw I had to ship something via DHL today and wanted to use their Internet ship method.

I signed ujp on their website and then tried to ship a package.

ERROR.

You can only ship a package using their web interface if you are at the billing location.

Well I wasn't. So I couldn't. D'oh.

So I drove over to Brookline and dropped off my two packages at a drop off box.

Later on I check the status on the web. One package gave the pickup time and the other package had a message, "No status available. Please contact us."

Hmm. That didn't look good.

So I called over to DHL and had to read all the shipping info to them over the phone.

After doing that I was told that there wouldn't be a problem with the packages and to check back in the morning.

Weird.

I like the way this website works. It runs on Supermodel.

The rationale behind Supermodel is twofold. Firstly, the software represents the semantic structure of site content, rather than being tied to the way this content is presented on the website. Secondly, the software provides a straightforward model for integration with interface templates, and imposes no restrictions on the display of content.

Here's another example of a Supermodel site, Exile Films.

Check out today's Globe for a nice picture of Ravi. He planned to take the last elevated Green line train last night.

Boston.com: It's the end of the line for the 'El'

'The El must die so that the Green Line may live,' said Stefan Economou, who with colleague Ravi Jain planned to ride the last trolley on the elevated tracks last night. The two were the last to drive over the elevated Central Artery before that structure was closed and the southbound Interstate 93 Big Dig tunnel opened last December. 'Sunlight will caress the asphalt of Causeway Street once again.'

Micro Machines

Micro Machines is my video for Day Four of Video Blogging Week.

It's quite an effort to put together a video every day. For this one I filmed what was going on at work, since I've been there all day, every day of the week so far.

To produce this video I filmed it, captured it to my Mac, brought it into Final Cut Pro, added some music and then exported it. Next up I loaded it into Sorenson Squeeze and compressesd it for web delivery. After that I created an HTML page to host the video, FTP'd the video and the HTML file to my hosting site, and then created a new entry in my video blog, using TypePad, to link to the HTML page.

I'm going to look into a new process that includes making a poster movie in QuickTime and only loading the video when the user clicks the poster movie. That'll reduce my steps by taking out the HTML page creation step.

No Soup For Elin

Elin orders soup and gets a salad.

Suddenly, a salad was planted firmly in front of me. "That one is for you, Elin" said our chef, proudly. Confused, I looked up at him. Too many things where happening now and........ where's my soup? He knows I want soup? A sudden thought: Did he think I am fat? Salad?? Diet coke? Please!

Apple PowerBook G4 Portable Power Adapter
The Apple PowerBook G4 Portable Power Adapter is expensive, $79. The picture on the box shows the 'brick' part of the power supply but not the included cables. There isn't even a 'contents of the box' listing on the outside of the box. I told the cashier and she didn't seem to care that much.

Apple mini iPod
You've got to call the Apple store every day to see if mini iPods are in stock, and then get your name on a list if you plan on going in to get one that day. I asked if there was a way that they could just put my name on a list and email me when one comes in.

They said it was too much work to maintain a list like that. Hmm. Seems like poor customer service to me. Should be easy enough to maintain a list of people's names and email addresses. They are a computer store.

Dave Dropped the Rubber Ball

michaelw.net In defense of Dave

Here is a technique that I find very helpful in reminding me to keep a work/life balance:

You will have many responsibilities simultaneously in your life—like having to juggle several balls at once. Visualize that in one hand you hold a rubber ball and in the other hand you hold a beautiful, fragile, glass ball. The rubber ball represents your career, your work, and your volunteer activities. The glass ball represents your family, your friends, and your health.

What happens if you drop the rubber ball? It will bounce. Someone will pick it up for you or it will stay put until you are able to pick it up again. What happens if you drop the glass ball? If you're lucky, it will only crack. But it may smash into a million pieces. Either way, it will never be the same.

So, along with everything that you learn, there is something you should learn not to do. Don't let your justifiable concern about your career cause you to drop the precious ball that represents your family, your friends, and your health.

Kirsten Malone

Kirsten Malone was a 26 year old active member of the punk rock community in Boston. She was a Mass Art graduate, photography major. She was previously in The Statue Factor, and was most recently in The Faux.

She was hit by a car saturday around 9 AM while on her bike near the Cambridge street footbrige to lower Allston.

She passed away yesterday at MGH due to extensive head injuries.

From the Honeypump Message Board Thread

She was an exceptionally wonderful, talented and sweet girl and will be missed. This Saturday June 19th at 10:00AM people will be bringing flowers and meeting at the spot where she was struck. Whether or not you can make it please remember that wearing a helmet may have prevented her death so do take care.

From today's Boston Globe, Kirsten Malone, 29; artist, 'The Faux' singer, keyboardist:

''She was an awesome aunt to my children," said her sister, Candace Waldee, of Marietta, Ga., whose children are 2, 5, 7. ''She would come by and play non-stop -- pretend and dress-up games, stuff most adults wouldn't play. My kids didn't consider Aunt Kirsten a grown-up. They didn't understand that concept."

One of Kirsten's art projects.

Jess Kelly of WZBC, 90.3 FM in Boston, says:

My show today, 3-5 PM, is dedicated to her, and I've advertised it a bit as a call-in kinda thing, where her friends can request her favorite bands in her honor.

I'm asking you to please witness a small piece of this girl's talent, and tune in at 4 pm. I'm going to play The Faux's EP all the way through. (they are organ-driven no-wave-ish, she played keys.) It's truly epic. (I'm trying to get my hands on her older band's work, and if i can, i'll play them all the way through as well) I'll also be playing bike safety PSA's, as this tragedy might have been prevented if she had been wearing a helmet.

This will be a moment of "silence" type of thing. I'm asking all her friends and fans to tune in and blast the station in her memory during her songs.

Bad things happen to good people, and boston will not be quite the same.

Thurs Rock 4

I would have met Kirsten, for the first time, on Saturday afternoon.

She didn't show up.

You Are Not An Animal

Yahoo! News - Man Charged In Coffee Road Rage Case

Mastropieri admitted that he got steamed up and threw a cup of hot coffee at the other driver because of verbal abuse.

'I just happened to take a swig out of it right before it happened. It was in my hands, and flicked it like that,' he said.

But police claim, in this case of coffee road rage, Mastropieri was only a victim of a courteous driver.

They say he became angry when the other man actually allowed cars to merge ahead of him in heavy traffic on Route 290 East. Officials said Mastropieri and the other driver traded insults until Mastropieri's temper boiled over.

'I mean a guy can only take so much before, you know, it was a reactionary thing. I flung the coffee at him just to shut him up,' Mastropieri said."

This story kills me.

By saying that "it was a reactionary thing", Mastropieri is admitting that he has no control over his actions, just like an animal.

What seperates humans from animals is that we have the ability to control our emotions.

Unlike the dog, who response system says Meat => Salivate, the human's response system is Caught in Traffic => Choose Your Response.

CBS4: Woman has presense of mind to grab camera

On the news today they reported about a swam of bees that gathered outside the bedroom window of a baby.

The Channel 4 anchor says, "...and the mother had the presense of mind to grab her camera and get some video of the swarm. SHe then ran to get her baby."

I hope it's a reporting error and the mom grabbed the baby first.

The story ends with a report that an exterminator came and sprayed the house.

Hmm.

Wouldn't it have been better to have called in a bee keeper?

Apple Introduces the Back Porch Internet

Apple - AirPort Express

Extend Your Network

If you already have a wireless network in your home and would like to extend its range, AirPort Express is your answer. Suppose you want to connect to the Internet with your PowerBook in an area that lies beyond the 150-foot range of your AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme Base Station. You can use AirPort Express as a wireless bridge to extend the range of your primary base station.(5)

There’s no need for extra wires or cables — serving as a bridge, AirPort Express doesn’t have to be physically connected to your primary base station or to your DSL or cable modem. Simply place AirPort Express within the range of your primary base station and near the area where you’d like to enjoy your wireless connection.

Cool.

Now I can sit out on the BACK porch with my Mac!

4. AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express can extend the range only of an AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express wireless network.
