The Human Locator analyses a camera feed in real time, sending detailed information about people's location, size, and movements. This data is then used as input to control projections, video, graphic animations, and sound. The Human Locator offers a complex analysis procedure and precise controls for accurate tracking in a variety of conditions. The variables it outputs can be used in an infinite variety of ways, limited only by your imagination.

This textbook contains material on evolution. Evolution is a theory, not a fact, regarding the origin of living things. This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully, and critically considered.

Persbericht
Test Aankoop en Ivo Mechels: gevaarlijke vervuilers die gereglementeerd moeten worden!
(U.D.N. Gezondheid 64, december 2004-januari 2005)

Van Test Aankoop, dat kwalijke handelspraktijken verdrijft, wordt beweerd dat het de consument beschermt, slechte dienstverleners aanpakt en de wereld in het algemeen schoner maakt. Een grootschalige Europese enquête van U.DN. in samenwerking met het Bweuk toont echter aan dat Test Aankoop-producten (direct mail en andere) en de haast dagelijkse verschijning van Test Aankoop directeur Ivo Mechels allerhande schadelijke chemische reacties teweegbrengt bij het kijk- en leesvee.  Bij veel respondenten blijkt deze overexposure bron te zijn van stress en ook allergische reacties niet van de lucht. U.D.N. vraagt de overheid stappen te ondernemen en de schadelijke producten  die de normen van de WGO en het goed fatsoen overschrijden, van de markt te halen.

Forrester on Blogging

Although Weblogs (blogs) are currently used by only a small number of online consumers, they've garnered a great deal of corporate attention because their readers and writers are highly influential. Forrester believes that blogging will grow in importance, and at a minimum, companies should monitor blogs to learn what is being said about their products and services. Companies that plan to create their own public blogs should already feel comfortable having a close, two-way relationship with users. In this document we recommend best practices, including a blogging code of ethics, and metrics that will show the impact of blogs on business goals.

Vlaams Blog (the original)


De directie, redactie, grafici en het onderhoudspersoneel nemen met spijt in het hart afscheid van het Vlaams Blok. De persiflages die nog hadden kunnen zijn, zijn helaas niet langer mogelijk. Het Vlaams Blok houdt namelijk op met bestaan wegens - jaren te laat - veroordeeld tot racistische partij. Het begon als een grapje en groeide daarna uit tot een heuse rage. Dàt soort ongein gaan wij dus missen, want geef toe: "Vlaams Belang" klinkt toch voor geen meter? We kijken alvast uit naar meer demagogie van dit kaliber en meer leukigheid van de rechtse supporters (benieuwd wat de Antwerpse joden van dit mopje vinden).

Thinking Machine 4 explores the invisible, elusive nature of thought. Play chess against a transparent intelligence, its evolving thought process visible on the board before you.
The artwork is an artificial intelligence program, ready to play chess with the viewer. If the viewer confronts the program, the computer's thought process is sketched on screen as it plays. A map is created from the traces of literally thousands of possible futures as the program tries to decide its best move. Those traces become a key to the invisible lines of force in the game as well as a window into the spirit of a thinking machine

"they know where they are and where they're supposed to be..."

Medieval chastity belts were objects of power and control – as symbolic and physically debilitating as shackles – and an indication of the then view of infidelity. However, women would often volunteer to wear these belts as a pledge of their fidelity to their husband and/or for fear of sexual assault.

The following are 6 proposals for devices that experiment with the notion of chastity belts in a contemporary context.

As sexual, social and emotional power-balances have changed, these devices embody an evolution from medieval objects: exploring various sensing and network technologies rather than physical obstruction.

Some of these devices are intended to be worn by people who are aware of their function; others provide opportunity for clandestine surveillance by jealous, concerned or paranoid people.

September 1, 1939

I sit in one of the dives
On Fifty-second Street
Uncertain and afraid
As the clever hopes expire
Of a low dishonest decade:
Waves of anger and fear
Circulate over the bright
And darkened lands of the earth,
Obsessing our private lives;
The unmentionable odour of death
Offends the September night.

Accurate scholarship can
Unearth the whole offence
From Luther until now
That has driven a culture mad,
Find what occurred at Linz,
What huge imago made
A psychopathic god:
I and the public know
What all schoolchildren learn,
Those to whom evil is done
Do evil in return.

Exiled Thucydides knew
All that a speech can say
About Democracy,
And what dictators do,
The elderly rubbish they talk
To an apathetic grave;
Analysed all in his book,
The enlightenment driven away,
The habit-forming pain,
Mismanagement and grief:
We must suffer them all again.

Into this neutral air
Where blind skyscrapers use
Their full height to proclaim
The strength of Collective Man,
Each language pours its vain
Competitive excuse:
But who can live for long
In an euphoric dream;
Out of the mirror they stare,
Imperialism's face
And the international wrong.

Faces along the bar
Cling to their average day:
The lights must never go out,
The music must always play,
All the conventions conspire
To make this fort assume
The furniture of home;
Lest we should see where we are,
Lost in a haunted wood,
Children afraid of the night
Who have never been happy or good.

The windiest militant trash
Important Persons shout
Is not so crude as our wish:
What mad Nijinsky wrote
About Diaghilev
Is true of the normal heart;
For the error bred in the bone
Of each woman and each man
Craves what it cannot have,
Not universal love
But to be loved alone.

From the conservative dark
Into the ethical life
The dense commuters come,
Repeating their morning vow;
"I will be true to the wife,
I'll concentrate more on my work,"
And helpless governors wake
To resume their compulsory game:
Who can release them now,
Who can reach the deaf,
Who can speak for the dumb?

All I have is a voice
To undo the folded lie,
The romantic lie in the brain
Of the sensual man-in-the-street
And the lie of Authority
Whose buildings grope the sky:
There is no such thing as the State
And no one exists alone;
Hunger allows no choice
To the citizen or the police;
We must love one another or die.

Defenceless under the night
Our world in stupor lies;
Yet, dotted everywhere,
Ironic points of light
Flash out wherever the Just
Exchange their messages:
May I, composed like them
Of Eros and of dust,
Beleaguered by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame.

Er zijn heel wat belangrijker dingen dan dit in het leven, dat weet ik ook wel. En ik zal vroeger wel eens meewarig geglimlacht hebben als ik weer eens een trotse vader of moeder moest aanhoren over "mijn kind, schoon kind". Maar wat wilt u? Deze trotse vader vindt in elk geval weinig extra tijd om dit blog te onderhouden. Ook al zijn er onderwerpen genoeg om schamper over te doen, of extatisch. Ben bijvoorbeeld vorig weekend wezen kijken naar "33, vader en alleen" en dat was hilarisch. Ook het boekje dat ik ervan kocht is erg leuk. Voor de rest kan ik alvast zeggen dat "Titanik" - de toneelvoorstelling waaraan ik voor een keer niet meedoe - er goed begint uit te zien. En dat er nog massa's leuke dingen op stapel staan. Maar daarover later meer. Inderdaad: later. Wij geven met andere woorden niet op.
