It’s like the future. Reminds me of the locative art in Spook Country.

Notes on a Dual-Mode Airport Extreme Network — Luo.ma
http://luo.ma/52/dual-band-airport-network/
This is exactly what I have set up at home, and it works great. 2 notes: the Nintendo DS needs 802.11b connectivity, if you have one; and this works nicely also if you want to hook one base station up to a printer and another up to an external hard drive.

Megacorporations
Sometimes the writing in Wikipedia just makes me smile:
“Megacorporation” is a term popularized by William Gibson derived from the combination of the prefix mega- with the word corporation.
Easy to criticize, but I don’t think I could do better.

Cage III-Free Show
Of all the bizarre things David Foster Wallace sticks into the endnotes of Infinite Jest, I absolutely loved the fictitious filmography of James Incandenza, which includes a film bearing a wonderful resemblance to the scenes of the terrifying Mickey Eye theme park from Grant Morrison and Cameron Stewart’s Seaguy:
Cage III—Free Show. B.S. Latrodectus Mactans Productions/Infernetron Animation Concepts, Canada. Cosgrove Watt, P.A. Heaven, Everard Maynell, Pam Heath; partial animation; 35 mm.; 65 minutes; black and white; sound. The figure of Death (Heath) presides over the front entrance of a carnival sideshow whose spectators watch performers undergo unspeakable degradations so grotesquely compelling that the spectators’ eyes become larger and larger until the spectators themselves are transformed into gigantic eyeballs in chairs, while on the other side of the sideshow tent the figure of Life (Heaven) uses a megaphone to invite fairgoers to an exhibition in which, if the fairgoers consent to undergo unspeakable degradations, they can witness ordinary persons gradually turn into gigantic eyeballs.

Follow-Up to Twitter Favorites and Retweets
Discussing my idea that Twitter clients should show one’s friends’ favorites on another blog, I’ve learned that this (like many things) is easier said than done. Twitter doesn’t provide a way for a program to say, “give me all of [username]’s friends’ favorites”. Instead, a program would have to ask, “who are [username]’s friends?”, then make a request for the favorites for each person individually, then stitch them together into the timeline. So, more like an RSS reader polling a number of different feeds. It could work, but it’d be more complicated, barring Twitter standardizing this sort of query.
I stand by the notion that there’s untapped potential in the ability to mark a post as a favorite. My guess is that not many people ever star a tweet, or even know you can, and I think this is because doing so doesn’t do a whole lot right now.
