Update: A shorter and hopefully clearer version salvaged from Mike’s analog backup recording has been posted and feds should now be getting this clearer file.

Update: Apologies for audio quality, some interference gremlins snuck in somewhere. We are looking at fixing it up somewhat and will republish the audio as soon as that’s done.

This show is all about the intersection of Technology and Human desire. This year Dave and I have been focusing on ‘deepening connections’ with those we subscribe to via RSS. Having a chat on a podcast is a remarkable way of doing that we have found. Agenda is loose guide only, we are very stream of consciousness, no edits, no script kinda guys.

New intro music this show. Courtesy of Graham, one of our guests. I remixed it a bit for the intro and play the full song, “Wake Up Now“, after the discussions.

Open Science

Rough chronological talking points:
-mike had nothing more than a vague idea such a movement would exist prior to starting work at a University in April.
-his RSS reader provided some clues to a trail which I followed - Graham Steel was one of the first to respond to my thinking out loud
-how graham and mike hooked up
-richard discovered it after posting an experiment on his labrats blog, and people got in touch.
-two sides - open scientific publication & open notebook scientists
-trust and sharing of unpublished latest work
-tension between competition and openness
-openness - outwards facing and inclusionary of wider community - sharing of scientific data
-paradigm shift - involvement with and giving something back to community
-blogging science
-use of podcasts - big uptake in uni’s
-richard is attending a ‘Science Blogging’ event at the Royal Institute in London on Saturday 30th August
http://www.nature.com/natureconferences/sciblog2008/index.html. One of the science communications team at USyd interviewed me (richard) this morning about this conference. Very interesting: they’re really keen on the idea here. I’m also going to an Open Science meet at Southampton two days after the London meeting, organized by Cameron Neylon.
-guys will try to record and live blog the london event
-whats this about? http://blog.openwetware.org/scienceintheopen/2008/07/21/the-full-web20-experience-my-talk-tomorrow-at-iwmw-in-aberdeen/
-http://www.viddler.com/explore/CameronNeylon/videos/1/
-discussion about how to capture the esence of a event with blogging, podcasts etc. immediacy.

Over the past few years, blogging (‘web logging’) has become a major social movement, and as such includes blogs by scientists about science. Blogs are highly idiosyncratic, personal and ephemeral means of public expression, and yet they contribute to the current practice and reputation of science as much as, if not more than, any popular scientific work or visual presentation. It is important, therefore, to understand this phenomenon.

This is our 50th show…half a ton!

Mike and Dave catch up on what’s been happening in their own extraordinary everyday lives and Dave tends to dribble on with inane detail that probably loses you all in the process of getting to the point.

Besides that there’s some strange ‘bleep’ sound that crept in and appears now and then, so please, if you manage to survive these obstacles, you’ll to get hear some of these things mentioned:

extracting dna -

future collective dna action
dna extraction photos

stowe boyd -

personal productivity as relic of industrialization
(its hard doing network productivity without a network [alone])
It is about the psychological, spiritual, and work benefits of connection.

supernova:

clay shirky -
Density and Continuity are precursors to collective action (for “start actions”).
* Density — There are enough people
* Continuity — The relationships will continue
The act of “incorporation” (literally “embodiment”) is how society currently deals with enabling collective action.
Question: Is there a licensing structure that enables collective action?

‘reality is that which will kill you if ignored long enough’

Mark Pesce - blog: Hyperpeople; http://blog.futurestreetconsulting.com/

Wikipedia:
Mark Pesce, (December 8, 1962, in Everett, Massachusetts) one of the early pioneers in Virtual Reality is a writer, researcher and teacher. The co-inventor of VRML, he is the author of five books and numerous papers on the future of technology.

The Human Network - http://blog.futurestreetconsulting.com/?p=41

“I have focused my research toward an understanding of how technologies change the people who use them, and how people change the technologies they use. This emergent, or “autopoietic,” relationship between technology and society is now having a significant impact upon the organization of all aspects of human life – and, in specific, the relationships between vast collections of individuals: that is, politics.”

* What is an autopoietic relationship?
* Is technology driven by culture or culture by technology? (Linda Stone) (Does technology free you? Or enslave you?) (We feel alive when connected to others. (LS))

mpesce on business - http://blog.futurestreetconsulting.com/?p=44

“The larger an organization grows, the louder the cry for conversation grows, and the more pressing its need. In each case some industry sector or institution confronts a pervasively networked public which can out-think, out-maneuver and massively out-compete an institution which formed in an era before the rise of the network. The balance of power has shifted decisively into the hands of the networked public.”

* How does an organisation that basically has no control and no power survive?

Extraordinary Everyday Lives show #45 - GetNaked with biff

Once again this edition of the show is sponsored by Nick Hodge, Professional Geek at Microsoft. Our thanks to nick for his tangible support.
As usual we acknowledge the makers of that fine introduction music you just heard which was Jack in the Pulpit from their song Extraordinary Girl.

This show we are joined by Richard Birkin (biff) from Naked. Biff is from Derby, England.

Intro and what we’ve been up to.
Mike: New job and timezone hell - http://mseyfang.edublogs.org/2008/03/30/daylight-savings-i-told-you-so-11years-ago/
Dave: Implementing email solution using Google Security and Compliance Services [http://www.google.com/a/help/intl/en/security/index.html]
Kent: Too much work, may never blog again.

What is the hubbub over at Naked?

“Naked isn’t a place to collect new friends.
It’s simply a better way of staying in touch.
With Naked, you enjoy an ongoing feeling of openness with the people that matter to you.”

Dave thinks Naked messaging is about finding personal signal. (ref. linda stone); extendable cones of silence - swarm up not down and gets the feeling of ‘inverse vulnerability’.

Biff outlines the Naked ideas and how it works and the ‘kernel’ of what the service offers. We talk about closed being the new open, notions of privacy and trust. There’s lotsa banter and ideas about what we as people want in our lives and how technology needs to meet that - and biff seems to take copious notes on applying all our ideas into Naked [poor guy].

Anyway, it’s meaty fun stuff…if you like meat. Great food for thought on what is a very interesting service.

As usual we acknowledge the makers of that fine introduction music you just heard which was Jack in the Pulpit from their song Extraordinary Girl.

There has been a bit of a kerfuffle on the interwebs this week as Al Upton and the miniLegends class blog was Closed. Kent couldn’t join us today due to time zone issues.

Some points covered in rough chronological order:

intro to Al twitter.com/alupton

who are the miniLegends, what they do

whats been happening this week??

alupton.edublogs.org (count the comments) [mseyfang is #37] (read #151)

good summary posts linked to below

The intersection human desire/technology

why’s everyone always upset when someone’s asked stop blogging? - more than just stiffling of free speech.

we want to extend our geography

kids miss blogs - comment in ustream - exactly.

168 comments - all supportive, many from parents.

154. mini’s parent - March 18, 2008

I too am very disappointed that the kids blogs have been shut down. The kids have embraced the blogs with terrific enthusiasm and it is great to see my child can’t wait to get to school. I believe Al Upton is doing everything in his power to make it as safe as possible while the kids learn and explore. This is their future and they are in good hands.

My favorite part about blogging is that people leave me comments. (english 2nd language student) - connection!

Some network oddities cause skype drop-outs and reconnects that happen during the show. I left them in because it’s funny…and I use the term Skypeosphere (of which currently google says there’s very few results)

Twittories ’special eel’ episode

extraordinary — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 02:48:57 +0000

I would like to record a special episode of the Extraordinary Everyday Lives (eel) podcast when the first twittories story - ‘The Darkness Inside’ is complete. The idea is to record a reading of the 140 contributions as a story and release the final take as an audio version of the story.

If anyone is interested (and motivated) enough to co-ordinate a skype call where each character is read by a different person that would be sweet. Maybe a wiki page for this would be smart. Otherwise we will make do with whoever we can get on the skype call for our normal recording time (Thursday arvo’s ADELAIDE time).

If that goes well we will consider a Second Life extravaganza where we act out the story and record the video as a piece of machinima.
