Kafka bloga

2005-07-07T00:02:00.000+02:00

Nakon Samuela Pepysa, i Franz Kafka je počeo pisati blog. Pitam se, da je na blog.hr-u, bi li dospio na cool-listu?

Jacskona u povijesne čitanke

Na tom poučnom siteu možete saznati da je datum oslobađanja Michaela Jacksona od svih optužbi podjednako važan za povijest čovječanstva kao i rođenje Martina Luthera Kinga, pad Berlinskog zida i oslobođenje Nelsona Mandele. Pritom nemojte zlobno primijetiti da je to službeni Jacksonov site, a ne opće stajalište. Pravda je rekla svoje.

He would have definitely been convicted if he was black.

People vs Tom Cruise

2005-06-14T21:29:00.000+02:00

Sve znamo. Prije par dana Cruise je rekao sada već klasičnu rečenicu:

She digs it

pri čemu se "it" odnosi na stanoviti opskurni kvazireligijski nauk.

Dobri su ljudi pokrenuli site podrške da se Katie nekako urazumi. Možete ostavljati poruke, kupovati majice "free katie".

McLaughlin Cameron Designs invites you to join the movement to liberate Katie, a young, gifted, actress held captive by forces we may never understand. Even one summer of captivity is too long for one so bright!

Katice, okani se starog scijentološkog jarca! Bilo bi ti bolje da se družiš s Dawsonom i Paceyem.

Anal-eze This

2005-06-06T22:26:00.000+02:00

Najveći literarni užici na Amazonu ne nalaze se samo u knjigama koje tamo povremeno naručujem: waxy je otkrio najluđeg recenzenta među ludima, rečenog Smitha T Aamesa. Gle divne li kritike stanovitog analnog lubrikanta:

Seka Anal-Eze Offered by A Touch of Romance
Price: $6.97

Anal Eze is fantastic! First of all, it is strawberry flavored. I was concerned that my anal lube would not be flavored and therefore I would not get to enjoy the taste of artificially flavored lube tinged with fecal matter.

The second selling point of Anal Eze is that no batteries are required. This is excellent, since lubricants that require batteries tend to be painful on the sensitive genital regions. Electricity doesn't mix well with nuts.

Finally, I love that Anal Eze has a desensitizing agent. It makes it possible for me to use Anal Eze in my torture dungeon without my victims complaining too much. It also helps to numb my tongue so the chunks in the fecal-lube mixture are not so objectionable.

Kapula hack

2005-05-22T09:22:00.000+02:00

Lifehacker je u posjedu dokumenta u kojem stanoviti Ian Beyer objašnjava kako rezati kapulu (aka crveni luk) bez suza.

Using a knife, cut a cone out of the bottom of the onion (where the roots come out). The diameter of this cone should be about a third of the diameter of the onion, and about 1/3 deep. Take this piece and throw it away (don’t put it down the disposal!). This piece contains the part/gland that makes baby Jesus and everyone else in the room cry when you’re chopping it up. Once you’ve gotten that piece out, chop off the top, peel, and slice the onion.

Been doing it for years, and it works like a charm. You know your cone is too small if it doesn’t work, because you’ve cut into that teargas grenade.

BTW, što ćete ručati danas?

How to Be an Elitist Snob in 20 Easy Steps

2005-05-13T15:06:00.000+02:00

Nije o snobizmu ovdje riječ. Sam Bergman, violist Minesottskog orkestra, napisao je ono što ja vječno planiram napisati - genijalan kratki vodič za sve one koji bi htjeli otići na klasični koncert (Sam se obraća publici na koncertu orkestra, ali ne smeta), a ne znaju kako (ili zašto:)).

Obavezno pročitajte čitav tekst, a ja uobičajeno nudim highlightse:

Definicija zanimanja orkestralnog glazbenika:

When people ask me what it's like to play in a symphony orchestra for a living, I generally respond that it's just like everyone else's job, with all the office politics, boring meetings, and meddling middle management, except that the last few hours of the work week take place on stage, in formalwear, with 2,500 people watching to see if you screw up.

O navadnoj smrti klasične glazbe:

As you may have heard, the classical music biz has been going through a bit of a crisis for the last few, um, decades. Entire books have been written declaring that our industry has, in fact, ceased to exist, or is at least in the final convulsing spasms of near-death. The fact that the authors of such cheery tomes are almost invariably self-promoting idiots who wouldn't know a business plan if it walked up and bit 'em in the ass doesn't change the basic perception that classical music is something of a dinosaur. Which, of course, it is. I mean, the whole point of an orchestra’s existence is wrapped up in the fact that we spend a great deal of our time playing music that everyone has heard before. (Of course, this differs from the careers of Tony Bennett and Bruce Springsteen not at all, and nobody's writing books declaring them to be dead.)

Tko sluša klasiku?

In fact, I suspect that a case could be made that the majority of classical music fans begin listening when they get old enough to feel embarrassed at rock concerts, and then decide that some of this Beethoven stuff might not be too bad, and is undeniably less likely to result in a drug arrest or a sprained back.

Consequently, the audiences who show up at our concerts tend to be a rather interesting cross-section of elderly diehards, middle-aged converts, and college music majors, with a sprinkling of squirmy high-school boys who think they're impressing the taffeta-wrapped female specimens next to them with their grasp of high culture.

Slijedi 20 koncertnih zapovijedi. Presjek:

Prije nego što odeš na koncert, pogledaj što je na programu:

If you often find yourself humming Beethoven's 'Ode to Joy' while unloading the dishwasher, you might want to think twice before shelling out a couple hundred bucks for great seats to a world premiere by a composer described in the program book as 'controversial' and 'challenging.'
(...)
And finally, if your favorite classical masterworks are available on albums with names like 'Acoustic Landscapes,' or are frequently heard at weddings, really, save your money for the next Josh Groban concert. Pachelbel's Canon just isn't what we do.

Ovo potpisujem. Bog te blagoslovio, Bergmane:

Reading a review of a concert is not generally a good way to find out if you will like it. Critics tend to be failed musicians, or at the very least, music history majors (which amounts to the same thing,) and frequently harbor some pretty dark views of the whole business.
(...)
It's like deciding whether a Red Sox game is worth your money based on a Yankees' beat writer's recap of yesterday's game.

Ne, na klasični koncert NE morate doći odjeveni kao na pir.

This is not the place for your rustling silk prom gown. Do you see the women on stage wearing elaborate dresses with ruffles and huge shoulders and plunging necklines? No, you do not, and a good general rule of thumb is that you should not be more formally dressed than the people holding the instruments. Because trust me, we are not comfortable, and you should be.

Mobitel je koncertov najveći neprijatelj:

# Turn off your cell phone.
# Now turn it off again.
# We don't care if you're a doctor on call. Go see a damn movie. If you're staying here, the cell phone is off. Not set on vibrate, not set to ring softly. OFF. Thank you.

Čitaj programsku knjižicu, ali...:

Having known many composers, I can pretty much assure you that they are very odd people, and the less you know about them, the more comfortable you will be.

By accepting the program book in the first place, you have entered into an implicit agreement with the orchestra to keep it on your lap. Because, due to an astonishing anomaly of acoustical law, a 32-page program dropped on a floor during a concert makes the same amount of noise as the complete works of Shakespeare dropped off the top of the Empire State Building onto a Chinese gong. You don't want this.

I da, ovo je važno!

And while we're on the subject of questions we hate, do not ask us if this is 'all' we do for a living, or if playing in an orchestra is 'really a full-time job.' Yes, it is. And most of us gave up our childhoods to get it, so we'd appreciate not being trivialized. Thanks.

Prošlo je vrijeme onih očajničkih oglasa iz Arene: Hrvat (45), povratnik iz Njemačke, ne pije, ne puši, razveden ne svojom krivnjom.

London Review of Books, u skladu sa svojom fancy-reputacijom, na odjelu osobnih oglasa ugošćuje pažnje vrijedne svate.

Samozvane kretene:

I laugh at my own jokes. They’re all about you. Many levels of arse-holery with publishing M., 43. Box no. 09/05

Woman, 36. Likes anagrams, crosswords, logic puzzles and screwing with your head. It’s not that I don’t like you. Box no. 08/04

I like you because you read magazines with big words. And you’ve got great booblies. I can live without the first. But the second is non-negotiable. Shallow man, 34. When I say ‘shallow’, I mean, damn. Box no. 08/08

One koje se skrivaju iza imena poznatih:

Chomsky seeks Greer.

Salinger, 33, seeks Sagan.

Tolstoy, 34, seeks Anna

One koji traže pomoć oko orijentacije:

Yes, sir. I can boogie. Man. Academic. 62. Quite possibly gay. Box no. 08/12

One koji, bez obzira na usamljenost, nisu izgubili smisao za humor,

Woman, 43, would like to meet a man – any man – whose evolutionary path isn’t that of Homer Simpson. Suspecting that’s too difficult, I may go lesbian. Box no. 08/10

Fellow US LRB readers: I think these guys are serious. Seek comfort in Scientology, or else F, 39, mostly in London but occasionally in TX. Box no. 09/08

Have you ever had an out of body experience? BBC production crew would like to hear all about it. I, however, just want to hear about your mother. Woman, 43, seeks typical, non-Fortean LRBer. Box no. 09/09

pa niti nakon iskustava s oženjenom starčadi:

Good-looking, entertaining writer, F, 30, seeks attractive, charming, witty, relatively sane man, 30-40, to share adventures in London. No married oldsters.

A Oscara u kategoriji Usamljenih srca osvaja:

Would you like to surprise my bookshelves? M, 34, living in Berkshire, seeks 30-something woman to suggest new things to read and more interesting reasons for not reading them. Box no. 08/01

Poslije svega ovoga ne čudi niti oglas iz naslova.

Što Isus sluša na iPodu?

2005-04-27T16:56:00.000+02:00

I vidje Bog da je iPod dobar.

And of course Jesus gets his iPods wholesale, given how he and Steve Jobs go way back, back to the time when Jobs was a scruffy twentysomething geek ever praying for revelation and God finally gave Jesus the green light to inspire the first Mac.

But here's the interesting thing. You might think Jesus would be all about the cheeseball holy music. All about only caring for tunes that praise him and him alone and no one else but him because hey, the only music that's truly acceptable is music that celebrates God, right?

Wrong. Just look. See? There's Jesus, rolling his eyes.

See, Jesus knows true worship, true spirit, has nothing to do with giving away your sense of self to some angry bearded deity who will just as easily love you as smack you down and condemn you to hellfire for all eternity with no access to chocolate or HBO or old AC/DC records.

Jesus knows this Big Obvious Secret: All music celebrates God, because God is merely another word for life and life is merely another word for "hot divine energy force" and "hot divine energy force" is merely another word for, well, "Steven Tyler." So there you go.

Jesus does indeed do musicals. Jesus is all over the "Hair" soundtrack, for one (he blasts "Good Morning Starshine" whenever he makes waffles on Sunday mornings). "Les Miz" stirs his holy revolutionary heart. "Jesus Christ Superstar" makes him a little giddy, despite how he secretly thinks Andrew Lloyd Webber is best left to the slavering minions of the underworld, right along with, you know, Mariah Carey. And Toby Keith. Celine Dion. And absolutely, positively Shania Twain. Hell, even Jesus has limits.

Got a tune you truly believe is on Jesus' iPod? Send me your song suggestions and a brief reason why you think it's on Jesus' iPod, and if I receive sufficient replies I might just run it in a follow-up column. Send suggestions to mmorford@sfgate.com no later than May 3, or by the Second Coming, whichever comes first.

Johan Von Kaufland

Sin njemačkog tvorničara i svrgnute bavarske princeze. Otkrio ljubav prema Hrvatskoj nakon što ga je tata poslao na Balkan da broji novčeke u obiteljskom dućanu (mali obrt). Prvi na listi poželjnih neženja okruga Leiptzig. Omiljeni koktel: Vesela pipničarka.

Fra Duško

Rođen na Brabonjku. Djed po ocu partizan, vojni zapovjednik otoka i narodni heroj NOB-a. Djed po majici predsjednik crkenog odbora. Baka po ocu domaćica. Baka po majici također. Pobjegao na brod na 14. rođendan , zaredio se na 19., tata (precednik kotarske organizacije SKJ Brabonjak) ga se odrekao na 21. Piše memorare i otvorena pisma ocu u svim novinama koje to žele objaviti (Brabonjak u srcu - Općinski godišnjak)"

World Jump Day: skoči i namjesti Zemlju da bolje dihta

Znanstveno istraživanje je pokazalo da, ako dovoljan broj ljudi (par milijuna valjda) skoči 20.7.2006. u 12:39:13 sati (GMT +1), postoje šanse da se
- zaustavi globalno zagrijavanje
- produži trajanje sunčanih sati u danu
- stvori homogenija klima.

Budući da je stranica u flashu, ne mogu je citirati, pa svakako pročitajte ostatak na originalnom sajtu.

Sve što se od nas očekuje jest sljedeće:

Find a hard surface (e.g. concrete, tarmac, etc.) and all you need is to jump at the exact given local jump time.

Alex Ross je opet ulovio pravi link: site posvećen pokojnom skladatelju Alfredu Schnittkeu. Definitvno najluđi guestbook kojeg sam vidjela. Evo mog izbora iz knjige žalbi:

quello che ha fatto sto sito è un idiota

I am hate the person he wroted that web site here.

you're ugly face is angring me schnitky. if ever meet you i will compose a .38 to you face immedietly.

What is this fucking site ????? How do you dare to treat Schnittke like this ?? he is one of the best composers of all time !
Go in hell stupid american people !

A dessert's not a dessert without Schnittke.

This site is deeply stupid, unimaginative, retarded and pointless. Everything that Schnittke and his music is not. Seid nuchtern und wachet!

We can ALL agree that Alfred Schnittke was one of the most talented transexual crossdressing pedophiles that ever composed a..... some music.

Britanija za Amerikance

2005-04-04T12:30:00.000+02:00

O jeziku:

You may have heard some British people talking in movies. The men are the posh baddies who often drink to much; the women are the posh ladies who live on their own and have too much money. You may not think so, but your Americans have got 100% right! We are like that!

O javnom prijevozu:

Most bus drivers are specially recruited from India. These dusky chaps are very diligent, and are proud of their traditional calling. On entry to Britain, new drivers are christened "Pakkee" (the Hindu word for "doughty driver"); help them to feel at home by using their name as much as possible in conversation.

O zemljopisu:

People who don't live in London are called "provincials", and are not allowed to meet the Queen or get married. Their suicide rate is high.

Još o zemljopisu, za one koje žele znati više:

Britain is surrounded by water on all sides, so it's an island. There are other islands, as the map shows, but they have funny names, and the people who live in these islands are difficult to get to know.

O muzici:

Of course, we get nearly all of our music from America. We find that your songs, like "Throw Out Your Gold Teeth And See How They Roll" by Mr Steely Dan, "Hotel California" by the Eagles Orchestra, and "Smack Yo' Nigga Bitch" by DJ Ice T, help us to understand the culture of the United States.

Such songs are frequently played in folk clubs, and the gentlemen who play their guitars in these places are only too happy to sing them on request. It will help you to feel "at home" if you ask for them.We have a small music industry of our own, too.

Bikwil

2005-03-30T23:34:00.000+02:00

Intervju sa Bobom Moogom (tvorcem istoimenih sintesajzera) podsjetio me na Wendy Carlos i naveo na daljnju pretragu: izvrstan i dosad neotkriveni australski časopis Bikwil donosi paralelnu priču o Wendy Carlos i Glennu Gouldu. Wendy je možda najpoznatiji transseksualac među glazbenicima, rođena 1939 kao Walter Carlos. Najpoznatiji su joj radovi Switched on Bach (da, da, Bachove obrade na synthu) iz 1968. i muzika za Kubrickovu Paklenu naranču.
S druge strane, Gould je možda najpoznatiji ekscentrik među vrhunskim klasičnim glazbenicima (među mediokritetima ih ima koliko hoćeš). Za poslušati: Goldberg varijacije iz 1981 i Mozartove klavirske sonate.

L.A. Woman Sunday Afternoon

2005-03-20T20:58:00.000+01:00

Evo nečega što bi moglo zanimati doktora Bukovića. Objavljeno danas u LA Timesu.

Young adults who as teenagers took pledges not to have sex until marriage were just as likely to contract a venereal disease as people who didn't make the promise, according to a study in the Journal of Adolescent Health.

Kako to, zapitat ćete se?
Naime,

The study found that 88% of sexually active people who took the pledge had intercourse before marriage. Sexually active pledgers were less likely to use condoms the first time they had sex, Bruckner said.

Uz to,

The study found that people who took an abstinence pledge were less likely to get tested and treated for venereal disease. They may then be infected longer than other people.

Some teenagers and young adults may engage in other intimate activities besides vaginal sex in order to preserve their virginity, the study found.

Zaključak:

Sex education programs that teach only about abstinence are outside the reality of most adolescents and young adults.

Predstavnik Crkve uzvratio je mirno i dostojanstveno:

‘After all, the bread should symbolize the body of Jesus, and the wafer shouldn’t be getting all the attention. Just imagine if the pastor at the altar would say ‘This is the body of Jesus Christ. Would you like that with chocolate, vanilla or strawberry taste?’

Carly vs. Bono

2005-03-09T00:19:00.000+01:00

Usporedni test dvaju kandidata za šefa Svjetske banke: Carly Fiorine i Bona Voxa.

Po stručnosti za evropsku povijest su izjednačeni:

Fiorina: Majored in medieval history in college.
Bono: Recorded breakthrough album in 17th century Irish castle.

Bono šiša Fiorinu po timskom duhu:

Fiorina: Brief co-headlining gig with Compaq chief Michael Capellas didn't work out too well.
Bono: Has performed duets with B.B. King, Luciano Pavarotti, Frank Sinatra and Beyonce.

Zaključak:

Bono has the backing of the London press and a much stronger money-management record. And think of the operational expenses he could save by combining World Bank meetings with concert tours. "We'd like to do a song by Lou Reed. But first, a little debate on Resolution 11-A02B..."

Prva slika na World Wide Webu

2005-02-27T10:18:00.000+01:00

Back in 1992, after their show at the CERN Hardronic Festival, my colleague Tim Berners-Lee asked me for a few scanned photos of "the CERN girls" to publish them on some sort of information system he had just invented, called the "World Wide Web". I had only a vague idea of what that was, but I scanned some photos on my Mac and FTPed them to Tim's now famous "info.cern.ch". How was I to know that I was passing an historical milestone, as the one above was the first picture ever to be clicked on in a web browser!"

2. Register a catchy yet philosophically deep name for your new blog: "lifesucks"; "All Things Me"; "Lifehacker"; "Playing With Matches"; "The Internet Slacker", "I Stalk David Hasselhoff".

3. Consider one of the many pre-made website templates offered by the blogging service, or one created by you.

4. Turn your nose up in disgust at the thought of using a pre-made template for your blog.

5. Spend the next seventeen hours creating a functioning website from scratch. If using Microsoft FrontPageTM, relocate all children and elders to a safe area out of your "profanity zone".

6. Complete your self-made blog template by clicking on the "Publish Website" command in Microsoft FrontPageTM.

7. Watch in shock as the aforementioned seventeen hours of hard work gets permanently deleted off your hard drive by Microsoft FrontPageTM.

Usput, zašto spominju Lifehacker? Ja volim Lifehacker.

Posljednjih se dana zakačih na radio.blog, i to na nekoliko razina.

Hint:
Kako saznati URL svakog playera (s obzirom da se iz radio.bloga otvara u pop-upu)?
-- Desnim klikom bilo gdje na player, odabrati "settings", i URL je vidljiv u rečenici Allow {URL} to access your camera and microphone?

To recap: Up until the beginning of the twentieth century, applause between movements and even during movements was the sign of a knowledgeable, appreciative audience, not of an ignorant one. The biographies of major composers are full of happy reports of what would now be seen as wildly inappropriate applause.

Primijenjena matematika

2005-02-17T18:27:00.000+01:00

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint it goes like this:

- What makes 100?
- Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
- We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%.
- How about achieving 103%?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

Then:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

and

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And,

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far ass kissing will take you:

A-S-S--K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can then conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While hardwork and knowledge will get you close and attitude will get you there, bullshit and ass kissing will put you over the top!

Studije o dizajnu

Izvrsne studije o dizajnu ambalaža: energetskih napitaka, kave, riže...

Custom illustration is a common approach in the whole bean and specialty coffees. New England Coffee (upper left) adopts a style similar to 19th century New England folk art. JavaNa employs a whimsical French bistro style first popularized by Starbucks. And Green Mountain Coffee (lower right) uses a style similar to Post-Impressionist Paul Gauguin to evoke a sense of tropical paradise.

Response: Illustration not only describes the product experience, it implies a sense of craftsmanship. It lends a "one of a kind" aura to the product, prompting the customer to care that much more about it.

Kako objaviti knjigu uz pomoć web-servisa

NVU

2005-02-03T10:17:00.000+01:00

Valja obratiti pažnju na NVU. Njegovi tvorci ga nazivaju sustavom za web-authoring, poput FrontPagea i Dreamweavera, uz razliku da je NVU program otvorenog kôda.

Od zanimljivih osobina, NVU (čita se N-view, premda je ime nezahvalno: moglo bi se isčitati i kao "envy you") ima:

- tabove (poput Firefoxa);
- podršku za pisanje s lijeva na desno;
- širok izbor posebnih znakova (special characters);
- uređivač za CSS;
- podršku za XHTML (sa prikladnim tagovima);
- podršku za XFN;
i, moj favorit:
- automatsko pretvaranje svih znakova izvan ASCII-ja u numeričke entitete.

Radi na svim relevantnim operativnim sustavima (Linux, Windows, Mac OS X i FreeBSD).

S obzirom da instalacijska datoteka ima oko 7 MB, jasno je da NVU još nema sve mogućnosti FrontPagea ili Dreamweavera (a i tek je na verziji 0.8). NVU za početak želi biti tek jednostavan web-editor namijenjen svima, a uz to i besplatan.

Welcome to the Jungle

U knjizi zgodnoga naslova Mozart in the Jungle: Sex, Drugs, and Classical Music, koja iz tiska izlazi u lipnju ove godine, oboistica i novinarka New York Timesa Blair Tindall iz prve ruke govori o tamnim stranama svijeta klasične glazbe.

A stunning cellist becomes an AIDS-infected crack addict and prostitute; a Metropolitan Opera violinist is jailed for selling cocaine; and an African-American virtuoso becomes so lost inside the elitist white arts world that he smashes his $185,000 eighteenth-century French violin into splinters.
