@JamesPowderly promised to release a book years ago. But he never really got started writing it. Now he has to think about getting started pretty soon. Check this out!

Hey James! If you are not getting started soon I’ll sell one of your USB hard drives on ebay! You have 10 days to finish the Introduction and 1st chapter. I am sorry! But F.A.T. sees no other way getting you down on this.

Link to Ebay. (Learn some german) and think about joining the auction. I haven’t looked at the hard drive but I am sure it is very ‘valuable’. ;-)

Preview!
Just to get you an idea on the outcome of James’s book find a first draft of his introduction below.

[...]The Internet is built on a gift economy? In what sense? Historically?
Where? It’s built by the military industrial complex and in large part
funded by advertising and porn. Our buddy Galloway makes a clear
argument that the internet is based on control through protocol not
freedom. And that parts of that decentralized control structure are
good. In the same way some systems of control in nature are good
(genes, natural selection). Others not so good… For hackers maybe it
feels freer than real life because we can manipulate the medium better
than we can atoms and it has seemingly large shadows for a world lit
by billboards and definitively marked by tcp/ip. For some small part
of that Hacker world, ego-boo is how we form social groups, network,
just say thanks, and jerk each other off. But I think it is massively
important that we don’t delude ourselves into techno-deterministic
utopian thinking about the web. For baudrillard and many others, It is
fucked, a priori, by the type of communication it supports, it’s
commercial and military infrastructure etc., for others its the
ultimate and nearly perfect represetation of hegemony, a great place
to entertain ourselves to death, to become otaku and dissolve all ties
with reality, a single point of access for the commercialization of
everything, a way to opt into total information awareness, a means for
the monoculturalization of earth, the birth of the simgularity, the
portal through which we generally atomize and isolate ourselves and
our efforts and basically just kinda stupid. If we are having fun,
that’s cool… But aren’t we just taking dad’s car out for the night?[...]

@James! Have you finally some proposals for the title ready?!?

Sorry SP38! I just had to do this …

While this video only takes three and a half minutes, the actual sign took several days to make. Victoria Estok and Kyle Hittmeier helped along the way – Kyle can be seen painting, Victoria is more elusive. The soundtrack is from some old friends from California, specifically: The Steady Ups and Doctor Echo’s Dub Disaster album, which is one of my favorites. Worth every penny and more.

How To: Get a vector file from your computer onto an 8×4 foot sheet of plywood

All of this is basically in the video, but here it is again. The design was originally a vector file. I made the printout on a large-format copier at the local chain store copy shop for about 8 dollars. Then used a light coat of spray mount to attach it temporarily to the wood. Then I followed the cuts with a good blade in the jig saw, and drilled where the circles were. Before removing the paper I drew a line over the printed line with a pen to leave an indentation on the wood. Lighting this from the side with a small flashlight, I could then trace over the indentations directly onto the wood with pencil. As I did this I removed the paper. Using the re-positionable spray mount means there is no residue of paper or adhesive.

If you have any specific questions, let me know.

The popularity of Twitter’s real-time publication platform has very rapidly transformed a data-rich communication medium (Teh Internetz) into a rapid-firing, text-based, publication tool akin to a high-tech telegraph. While on one hand it is useful to have a massive database of real-time, localized, data-sets, consisting primarily of useless social drivel, on the other hand it has yet to be effectively demonstrated as to why. The worst of it is that Twitter’s posting restrictions have limited the communications of countless seemingly intelligent and talented individuals to a level of mental impairment and has also obscenely limited their ability to meaningfully express themselves and/or engage in sustained critical dialogue.

And let us take a moment as not to forget that pervasive digital publishing services don’t just operate on electronic devices, but also drive the future development of said devices. The proliferation of Twitter will have a serious impact upon the future development of devices intended for real-time networked communications by undermining the value of a rich multimedia experience. This will limit the ability for mobile devices to share and publish images, audio and video. Most obvious, this will prevent the dissemination of the art form that prior to now unequivocally set technological standards – pornography.

Until recently, Twitter’s unique platform has made it nearly impossible to engage in real-time transmission of pornographic images, setting technological advancement back decades. Yet, thanks to my own personal research and the development time of myself and known-pornovator Evan Harper, I present to you a methodology for using Twitter’s stunted interface for sharing data-rich pornography, one pixel at a time. It is my hope that this will further the development of integrated data-rich content within Twitter’s unique platform. Perhaps some day, the medium will advance to the point where we will be able to use Twitter to transmit girl-on-girl video in semaphore.

Go here for detailed instructions on sharing pornography in real-time, pixel by pixel, with your friends and family.
