Countdown in minutes ..HNY!
December 2011
Cubic content (Storycube architecture ..opposed to the thin storyline architecture).. Across multiple pipes/layers makes piracy overwhelmingly more difficult, and by creating a form that is “content as a platform” changes the business model from revenue from restriction to revenue by spreading. All this SOPA/PIPA vs. censorship argument becomes predominantly moot.
Talking about AR & Hypervideo needing to soon be the same thing with filmmakers & musicians. & about building singular views that are hypervideo/audio layered.

As we head into ‘12.. Takahito reminded me of Clarke’s 3 Laws this morning. Keep on my wall to guide us. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarke’s_three_laws Especially #3 - “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”
Being “learned” ..on these “voxels” with WebGL by Rimon who is home from Holland… Brain is bleeding. ; )
Like that a cloud icon trended today on Twitter. (started from the guys at box.net) ..something to the idea of icons and trending.
check in on others’ productions today …hopefully no “fires”
If anything would drive SOPA thru in an even more restrictive form this would. The only thing holding back reform is Congress seeing Internet companies and tactics looking/acting as bad/worse as the studios that over-reached. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/12/29/1049815/-Internet-giants-seriously-considering-nuclear-option-to-stop-SOPA
So much work. Not enough money has me up… So reading about “.hyv” issues and things like DNS scaling.. Things that don’t put me back to sleep but make my brain freak out. Ugh. http://www.ipjforum.org/?p=653

Only thing Suster gets wrong ..is not...

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one that needed a machete” - not Robert Frost but close
I explained last night to someone, Influence on me is often a different difficult metric… Referred this as an example.. http://dlwillson.wordpress.com/2010/12/07/i-have-had-angels-in-my-life/
Watch
Dish Networks M&A call tomorrow & Just as I am getting frustrated with my tuner…feeling like sharing less & less. : (
Merry Christmas Eve. squeezing in last prep for phone read thru on “Her Co.” & “Serial” that’s getting recorded next week.
You know in “The Truman Show” when Truman Burbank starts trying to get past the sets to the point of banging on the stage walls? …That is inherently what an artist is doing.
Congress needed a new business model and answers on SOPA/PIPA. What we have is a bunch of protectionism and over-reaching and pointing fingers. Cubic and hypervideo integration is going to remove 90% of this piracy/censorship bologna. When the business model changes from limit to spread. But instead no one can hear answers because of all this other bologna.
Prometheus : ) http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/iphone/fox/prometheus/trailer/
Trying to get a clean understanding on Atmos and how they are using geo-location. Just to understand it.
Louis C.K. Finally getting within reach of positive true return numbers if they’re true and can last at this level for another month. But he still had a massive hand going in.
Coming to the realization I may have to go back to ..the mall. Ugh
Facebook putting fake brand stories in the...
These scaled technology platforms that never had a clear revenue stream are starting to look very scummy as they are forced into very bad and borderline unethical revenue streams because they can’t afford the scale they have created.
This is just the start. …& why I argue continuously against this hype of launching and scaling before you get it right with the books.
It is going...
How to hurt your brand, your social network and how NOT to sell to your customer… Or increase a Brand’s or Audience’s ROI or users trust. IMHO …Fake brand stories in FB’s feed. http://m.cnet.com/Article.rbml?nid=57346062&cid=null&bcid=&bid=-93
@instagram for me every AM (& my left-handed synesthesia/screwed-up brain) =a shadow soundtrack. I hear score, touch & smells when I scroll.
Why you should never drunk text a Whovian.
A friend of mine randomly got a drunk text from a stranger. She then did something that has earned my respect and awe. A transcript of her conversation follows. Some of this may be familiar to you.
Warning - VERY LONG. Also, words that I don't like have been bleeped out. Use your imagination.
Drunk Person: "tortyly drunk riht now. straight men everwhere."
Erykah: "Oh, thank God! I finally made contact! Listen, I need your help, but you're in great danger."
DP: "ni**a say wat?"
E: "Listen, my name's the Doctor. I'm a time traveler, or I was. I'm stuck in 1969 with my friend and I need your help to get my spaceship back."
DP: "u hav a spceshit?"
E: "Yes. It's a big blue box that says 'Police Call Box' on it."
DP: "dat doesnt sound liek a spceshp. gay."
E: "Hey! Don't diss the TARDIS!"
DP: "tarsiddd???"
E: "No. TARDIS. Time And Relative Dimension In Space. You see, I'm a Time Lord from ANOTHER planet called Gallifrey."
DP: "y u not there now?"
E: "Well...A long time ago, there was a war and all my people died except for me. I'm the last Time Lord. So I travel through time and space lending a hand wherever I can."
DP: "woahhhh. thats relly sad."
E: "Yes, it is. But now is no time to cry. You're in a lot of danger and you need to help me."
DP: "waot. how r u in 1996?"
E: "I'm in 1969. And it's really complicated."
DP: "oh."
E: "People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff."
DP: "im cofussed."
E: "Well, try and keep up! Never mind the wibbly stuff. All that matters is that they've taken it! The angels have the phone box."
DP: "wut angels?"
E: "Have you ever seen like a statue of an angel? At a church or a cemetary or something?"
DP: "ya."
E: "Well, they're not angels. They're creatures from another worlds. Aliens like me, except they're very, very bad."
DP: "dat maeks sense. they alwys creepeed me out. i thought theyre jus statues tho."
E: "Good eye, you've got. But they're not. They're only statues when you're looking directly at them. Once you look away, they become deadly."
DP: "whaaa?"
E: "Listen, Lonely assassins, they were called. No-one knows where they came from. They're as old as the universe, or very nearly. They've survived this long as they have the most perfect defence system ever evolved. They are quantum-locked. They don't exist when being observed. The moment they're seen by any other living creature they freeze into rock. No choice. It's a fact of their biology. In the sight of any living thing, they literally turn to stone. And you can't kill a stone. Course, a stone can't kill you either. But then you turn your head away, then you blink, and oh, yes it can! Notice how they always look like they're crying in the cemetaries? They're always covering their eyes?"
DP: "dats nuts! ya, ive seen dat."
E: "There's a reason for that. They're not weeping, they can't risk looking at each other. Their greatest asset is their greatest curse. They can never be seen. The loneliest creatures in the universe. And I'm sorry, I am very, very sorry, it's up to you now.
DP: "but wut can i do? tis was all thrustted uopn me!"
E: "The blue box, it's my time machine. There is a world of time energy in there they could feast on forever. The damage they can do can switch off the sun. You have got to send it back to me!"
DP: "ahhhhhh!!! im scrrd! idk wut 2 do! im srsly gon hav a pnic attck."
E: I'm afraid I can't help you any further. I'm stuck in 1969, but I think you're clever enough to think of something. FIND THE BLUE BOX AND GET IT BACK TO ME! The angels have it and you NEED to find it or it's all going to be over."
DP: "dont go doctr! help me!11211!!"
E: "They're coming. The angels are coming for you. But listen, your life could depend on this. Don't blink! Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast, faster than you can believe. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink! Good luck!"
DP: "ik! angels hng out in gravyards rite? ill check thar 1st."
E: "Wherever you feel the need to look. I have no idea because I'm trapped 42 years in the past. Wherever you do go, just remember DON'T BLINK."
DP: "omfg. holy shit. i'll find teh box and teh angels and ill text u wen i find it. goodbi doctr. uve liked changgged me life."
The film, book, magazine, song, tv show, news story, radio show, game, augmented display, map, data, browser, hardware & audience all have converged into one ubiquitous and immersive thing. The question is how you build that thing and it’s “flow” now… And what are the reaches of human experience it reaches simply and with as little effort as possible. Cubic.
As I have said for years… Wait for it… wait for it… Here comes content architecture to be the place where marketers, retailers put their integrated retail as they realize social networks were too hyped for little return. http://m.techcrunch.com/2011/12/20/harvard-study-social-networks-do-little-to-influence-taste-and-interests/
