Palimpsests – Norman Klein – CalArts / Art Center

“A manuscript, typically of papyrus or parchment, that has been written on more than once, with the earlier writing incompletely erased and often legible.”

Norman Klein is a cultural critic, and both an urban and media historian, as well as a novelist. His books include “The History of Forgetting: Los Angeles and the Erasure of Memory,” “Seven Minutes:The Life and Death of the American Animated Cartoon,” the data/cinematic novel, “Bleeding Through: Layers of Los Angeles, 1920-86″ (DVD-ROM with book), “The Vatican to Vegas: The History of Special Effects”, “Freud in Coney Island,” and the forthcoming “The Imaginary 20th Century.” His essays appear in anthologies, museum catalogs, newspapers, scholarly journals, on the web — symptoms of a polymath’s career, from European cultural history to animation and architectural studies, to LA studies, to fiction, media design and documentary film. His work (including museum shows) centers on the relationship between collective memory and power, from special effects to cinema to digital theory, usually set in urban spaces; and often on the thin line between fact and fiction; about erasure, forgetting, scripted spaces, the social imaginary.

People need affordable learning games. Worldwide, 4.1 billion people earn under $3,000 per year, meaning that even a $100 computer is often out of reach for the world’s emerging middle class. Playpower is targeting a $10 platform based on the 8-bit 6502 microprocessor that makes learning games affordable for “the other 90%.” Playpower designs high quality learning games, conducts field trials to confirm that they work, and fosters collaborations between game designers, cognitive scientists and NGOs.

NMI on Billboard.biz – Benefit for Deb Flanagan

Music Execs To Stage Benefit Show For Deb Flanagan
Billboard.biz, April 13, 2009

By Ed Christman, N.Y.

A number of music industry executives and artist are putting together a benefit for Deb Flanagan, a long-time music industry executive who has been diagnosed with ALS, which is more commonly known as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease.”

A live performance will be held April 18 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Talking Stick Coffeehouse in Venice, Calif.

Due to ALS, Flanagan, a vibrant, active woman, “has lost many abilities of her body and is degenerating every day,” writes Music Millennium owner Terry Currier in an e-mail to industry friends about the event. “Although Deb’s laughter and smiles have not stopped,” she requires professional full time assistance and care to meet her daily needs and is now being cared for at Marquis Care in Portland, Ore., with support of the Vital Life Foundation.

The benefit fundraiser is to assist in Flanagan’s medical cost since she is only partially funded for health care, according to the e-mail.

The event will be presented by TK Promotions (promoter Toni Koch) and Warrior Girl Music (Gilli Moon), in association with the New Media Interchange. Performers include the Gilli Moon Band, Coco O’Connor, Christopher and Natasha Barran, Marian Call, Miri Hunter Haruach and Paul McCarty, a New Orleans raised/Los Angeles-based singer/composer.

The show will be webcast at:
– ustream.tv/channel/new-media-interchange
– warriorgirlmusic.com/live
– myspace.com/tonik

Donations can be made through a paypal account set up for the event or checks can be mailed to: “DEB FLANAGAN BENEFIT ACCOUNT” c/o Music Millennium, Attn: Terry, 3158 East Burnside, Portland, Ore., 97214. For more information, contact: terry@musicmillennium.com.

Social Media Triage LIVE on Ustream.tv – Alpha launch

Social Media Triage LIVE on Ustream.tv – Alpha launch

Saturday February 28, 2009 from 9:00am – 10:00am

Image via Wikipedia

For months now I’ve been talking about Social Media Triage. It’s all about quick and actionable tactics — course corrections, if you will — for your current social and new media efforts. Hey, sometimes an outside eye helps. And lords know I’ve made enough mistakes in this field over time.

I’ve decided to try and use the power of live internet video to help me get this out to the greater world. Yes, a full 1.5 hour session of SMT does cost money, but the live video I do weekly (?) will be free. I might as well eat my own dog poo, since I preach that giving away free content can and does lead to sales. So here I go!

Right now, this is VERY much an alpha project. I did something similar last weekend specifically to Podiobooks.com authors and producers. It’ll be for an hour, so come on over and ask questions.

Please note that this is specifically designed for newbies, for folks who need help. I do not want to see my social and new media buddies show up and turn this into yet another social event. You’re welcome to hang out in the wings and offer up your $0.02, but please understand the intent. I won’t take offense if I don’t see a pile of friends in there.

There are several ways you can RSVP and get more info:

• Upcoming
• Facebook event
• Facebook group
• Current Ustream.tv channel (subject to change)

So come on over and pick my brain for an hour this coming Saturday. After that… we’ll see!

Some NMI members took part in this LIVE radio production last week. — Douglas

“I am apt to believe it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forevermore” — John Adams
