Nightmare Time With Finn & Jake *NSFW/NSFL - 0 views

    *Chapter 1- Spoiling Survivor- Jenkins NOT SAFE FOR WORK- (NOT SAFE FOR LIFE)! Jenkins mentions briefly the undercurrenty world of fan fiction. This has been a community that is often the butt of many jokes. The vocal artist "Duke", has a particularly hilarious audioboo in which he finds terrible things online such as facebook statuses, google reviews, foreign bootleg DVD descriptions, and reads them aloud in his advertising voice. (Spelling and grammar mistakes included!) I actually personally love the animated show Adventure Time, but in this link, Duke reads some particularly disturbing fanfiction. Fanfiction very often has a sexual connotation and reputation as fantasy writing, lending to it being laughable among "trolls" or other internet threads. Feel free to delete this if its inappropriate- sometimes my personal filter is off-kilter when it comes to the internet. I mean no offense or harm. It is media convergence in its seedy side, academically speaking.

    From the website:  "LibraryMixer is a free website where lovers of music, movies, TV shows, games, software, books, pictures can list what they have in their libraries. You share your library list with your friends and recommend stuff you like that they can get directly from you. You don't need to upload anything onto LibraryMixer! The best way to learn more about LibraryMixer (besides using it!) is to watch the introduction video or read the text version. https://www.librarymixer.com/info/faq"

    I linked to the Reddit page because it has the beta key. The official website is http://www.librarymixer.com

    In prowling around the site, I'm running up against questions such as "what constitutes 'social' in the current media environment" or "what is 'sharing' all about today?". These are not so much questions of moral import, but more of practice and the "boundaries" around doing things: listening, talking about, exchanging, debating, etc. What does an experiment like LibraryMixer push us to think about here? How's it different from other options (legal or not)? Also, this is an Open Source effort: what are the relationships between "open source" and "social" in regards to media boundaries?

    (I haven't been able to use the program for more than half an hour so far ... a lot of this will probably end up moderately incorrect.) Rather than ripping off music from anonymous users on sketchy p2p networks, or grabbing thousands of fragments from hundreds of nodes to synthesize a final piece of content, LibraryMixer combined with the Mixologist allows for personal interaction and communication about an item. The program and website integrates an instant messenger with a check-out system. The check-out system allows individuals to browse the general library, and select things they have, they want, or that they can review. Based on this information, users communicate with others via the friends list and instant messenger. From here, individuals directly connect with one another to transfer, or 'lend', the desired items. Physical items can be posted on the website too, but they require different methods for loaning items. I don't see any way to determine whether an individual rightfully owns a file they loan to others. I'm also not sure about if the file is copied to the transferee's machine and remains on the original, or is removed from the original machine in the process. However, there must be a direct connection made between the content owner (in whatever sense of the word 'ownership' we mean) and the individual loanee. This direct connection also ensures more privacy during a file transfer than p2p networks and bittorrent. (Unless you don't know the person. This is also exactly how trojan viruses and backdoors would be installed through AIM.) I think a good example of 'open source' in relation to 'social' would be the sheer amount of activity on discussion boards like http://ubuntuforums.org/. The lessons learned in this type of place regarding collaborative problem solving are not only abundant, but also applicable to tasks like coordinating large-scale real-world events

    I've used the website a bit further. It seems that the community infrastructure is there for a helpful, friendly, personal community. This is entirely unlike anonymous discussion boards where people love to put on the ring of Gyges and succumb to ... well, I don't have any friends on the website yet so I can't really tell. Again, seems like solid community infrastructure in comparison to a site like bt.etree.org or demonoid.

    How many boundaries is this guy breaking? I wonder if that poncho is considered unauthorized use of copyrighted property from any other film, song, or composition from Star Wars. Perhaps it is included in the Star Wars universe fan fiction production kit containing action figures and audio clips.

Vulture's Map of the Comedy Zeitgeist - 2 views

  • it feels like most TV and movie comedy is made by a very specific and contained number of people.
  • marvel at how, unlike our own solar system, this one has boundaries.
  •  
    Vulture has mapped many of the connections between contemporary comedians, comic television, and movies--complete with marriages! Interesting notes on how boundaries are drawn in this map and in our culture. Anything the map is missing?

The Met's HD Broadcasts Are Changing Opera - NYTimes.com - 0 views

    I knew that the Cinemark 17 in Springfield actually airs a few annual performances, so I checked today and the Italian Opera La Traviata by Verdi played at 6:30, I would have liked to have gone. This Opera will be playing at the Hult Center next December. I think its great that in remote areas such as Springfield, Oregon, people can see these high caliber performances live for a much cheaper ticket of about $20.
