Le coffret Columbia s'appelait “Golden Years” mais on
n'était pas obligé de le croire. Billie Holiday jeune. Avec big band. Un peu
abîmée déjà mais juste révélée. Avec Lester Young.
Son aisance au pays des standards. Presque dédaigneuse. Un peu à côté,
complètement dedans.
If you are interested in how to use the Web to create a grassroots political movement, tune in
today and tomorrow to the Alliance of
Youth Movements Summit, which is being sponsored and livestreamed by Howcast. Right now,
James K. Glassman, Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, just finished talking
about How To Build a Movement Against Terrorism and up next is Oscar Morales, an engineer deom
Columbia who set up a Facebook group called One Million Voices Against the FARC that
organized in mass demonstrations on the street in that country.
Tomorrow morning there is a panel with Obama’s media team that will explore how they used
teh Web to win the U.S Presidential election. You can see the entire schedule here. Howcast has
also made some (simplistic) videos on How to Smart Mob, How to Circumvent an Internet Proxy, and
How to Create a Grassroots Movement Using Social-Networking Sites.

Have you ever wondered how, exactly, the Hollywood studios came up with their logos? No, not
really? It's cool, I've never given much thought to it either, but the folks over at Neatorama did,
and they tracked down the stories behind the logos for Dreamworks SKG (boy fishing on a moon), MGM
(which was your favorite lion?), 20th Century Fox, Paramount (are those real mountains?), Warner
Brothers and Columbia Pictures (who's that torch lady again?). It's a rather fascinating read, if
only to learn the names behind the artists who created some of the more recognizable images in film
history.
From the Dreamworks SKG description: "Spielberg wanted the logo for DreamWorks to be reminiscent of
Hollywood's golden age. The logo was to be a computer generated image of a man on the moon,
fishing, but Visual Effects Supervisor Dennis Muren of Industrial Light and Magic, who has worked
on many of Spielberg's films, suggested that a hand-painted logo might look better. Muren asked his
friend, artist Robert Hunt to paint it. Hunt also sent along an alternative version of the logo,
which included a young boy on a crescent moon, fishing. Spielberg liked this version better, and
the rest is history. Oh, and that boy? It was Hunt's son, William."
Check out the rest over on Neatorama. Which
logo is your personal favorite? (And is it weird to have a favorite Hollywood studio logo?)

For years, we've been among those pointing out that the really important thing in economic growth
isn't invention, but a
href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20040429/1249251_F.shtml"innovation/a. It's the a
href="http://techdirt.com/articles/20080103/152737.shtml"process/a of actually taking an idea and
successfully a href="http://techdirt.com/articles/20070903/221321.shtml"bringing it to market/a in
a way that people want that matters in the long run. Coming up with new ideas is only a small part
of the process. That's why we often have so much trouble with the way the patent system works. It
greatly enhances the role of simply coming up with the new idea, and then makes the important part
-- the innovation -- a lot more expensive. However, when we discuss this, we often get angry
comments from people noting that "basic research" would disappear without patents. Of course,
that's unlikely for a variety of reasons, including the fact that a great deal of basic research
has little or nothing to do with patents. br /br / However, a recent deeply researched book by
Columbia professor Amar Bhide called a
href="http://books.google.com/books?id=GRZ3R2RULTcC#038;printsec=frontcover#038;dq=the+venturesome+economy#038;ei=U7ozSezKC5WekwSEsOGqCA#PPR7,M1"iThe
Venturesome Economy/i/a goes even further in noting that all of this talk about basic research
misses the point: a
href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/30/business/30ping.html?partner=rss#038;emc=rss"
target="_new"basic research has little impact on actual innovation/a. If we want to focus on
actually helping the economy, investing in basic research will do very little. The real trick is in
encouraging that ongoing innovation -- those "mid-level" improvements that make products more
acceptable in the market. Even if basic research occurs outside of the US, our ability to take
ideas and shape them into successful businesses by engaging in that process of refining and
improving are what will allow the economy to continue growing. It's great to see more academic
support for these concepts.br /br /a

How in the holy frijoles is it December already? And why do I get the same stressed, panicked
feeling every year? And why do I harbor such resentment against those who get their Christmas
shopping done early (or prance gaily around their yards stringing up their lights the day after
Thanksgiving)?
*deep breath*
The truth is, when I put myself in the mindset of how much I enjoyed the holidays as a kid, I can
actually get some of those warm, good time-y feelings back. And having two little kids adds to
the fun too. But man oh man, the stress returns every year, as sure as the commercials.
Music, of course, is the key to bringing back some of that positive holiday
energy. Since 1994, this collection of tunes has steered the way (or the sleigh, heh). I taped
this special off the radio that holiday season. I’ve said this all before, but Bruce
Cockburn is a warm, comforting musical presence in my life, and listening to him sing these great
songs and play the guitar like only he can - well - it’s better than a fridge full of nog.
Now, Nanci Griffith joins Bruce here, and sings some songs of her own (”Wexford
Carol”, “Grafton Street”, “Going Back to Georgia”, etc.). But
it’s the Bruce tunes that resonate with me: “Shepherds” opens the show, and has
always been a song that pops into my head throughout the year, for some reason:
“Glooooooria, in the hiiiighest.” I’m not heavy into the religion, mind you,
but when Bruce sings, I’m a believer; “Deer Dancing Around a Broken Mirror”, a
spirited and lush instrumental tune; “Huron Carol”, a song written in the
1600’s by a Jesuit missionary to the Huron Indians, and sung in the Huron language. Bruce
gives a wonderful introduction, and reads the English translation beforehand; and of course, two
favorites of mine: “I’m Gonna Fly Someday” and “One Day I Walk”.
Sublime.
Enjoy. And hey, happy holidays, eh? Oh, and always a reminder for you fellow Yanks that
haven’t heard of Bruce from the great white north - it’s CO-Burn.
Co sounding like So. Ho ho ho.
