In today's episode, BB co-founder and Make editor in chief Mark Frauenfelder heads out to Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea for an exclusive tour. Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea is based out of Chicago, Illinois and has recently opened up a new store in Silver Lake, CA. Kyle Glanville, head of research and development at Intelligentsia and winner of the 2008 US Barista Championship shows Mark how they acquire and roast some of the finest coffee in the world. The word intelligentsia derives from the Latin word intellintia, meaning a group of people engaged in complex mental and creative labor directed to the development and dissemination of culture. Kyle Glanville has been laboring to promulgate a new coffee culture with Intelligentsia to combat the "get up and go" mentality, and Mark is along for the ride to learn the careful art of roasting coffee. Intelligentsia is located at 3922 West Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90029 and is open 7 days a week ]]> Mon, 16 Jun 2008 02:46:00 -0400 A Morning at Intelligentsia Part 1 9630120 http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/my-dummy/9630120/

Today on Boing Boing tv, a vlog from Mark about Socialbomb, a real-world tech game that explores social circles and ways to measure interpersonal reputation. The current version is designed to accommodate 30 players. Each player is awarded points for being near players with higher reputations, and penalized for being near players with lower reputations. Bonuses and penalties are applied according to overall social promiscuity and status. The player with the worst reputation score is the 'Socialbomb.' Their score will have the most negative impact on a social circle.

Well, not you exactly. I saw a single grain of rice that represented you. In fact, there was one grain of rice for every person in the Americas there, arranged in categorized piles: the number of people who eat at McDonalds every day; the number of millionaires in the United States; the number of Billionaires; the number of people in South America who live on less than $2 a day, etc.. It was an exhibit by the London-based theatre company Stan's Cafe, called "Of All the People In The World: The Americas." They created it to help people understand hard-to-visualize statistics, such as the number of people who live in gated communities in the United States, the number of people who have been killed by tasers, and the number of people with AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa. I took some photos of the exhibit and interviewed one of the members of Stan's Cafe, who talked about ""Of All the People In The World," and why they created it. ]]> Tue, 29 Jan 2008 03:00:12 -0500 Vlog: Mark Frauenfelder - Rice Demographics 5207798 http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/mark-makes-a-mini-amp-funky-cowboy-bbtvs-50th/5207798/

Mark's exploration of Mister Jalopy's drive-in movie theater on a bicycle starts out normal enough, but gets pretty trippy when Jalopy opens the lid. Care Bears, orangutans, and Mister Rogers all make cameo appearances. All of this magic took place at a "mini Maker Faire" during Felt Club 2007, an annual exposition of cool crap made by interesting people. When the buzz wears off, we step into the Beijing Accelerator. Rotterdam-based artist Marnix de Nijs created this immersive virtual reality experience in which a seated user rotates at the same speed as the landscape they're viewing. This, too, is trippy.

Echternkamp and his parents make pastrami sandwiches in Xeni's kitchen, and talk with Mark about the new feature film FRANK AND CINDY, which documents their lives. Snip from the film description: When Cindy married a rock star, Frank, in 1983 she imagined a life of glamour and GRAMMYS. But the song that propelled Frank to fame, Whirly Girl, would be the only chart-topper from his short-lived group, OXO. Years later, out of shape and nearly bankrupt after spending his money on "gas, food, dry cleaning and drugs." Frank is not the vision Cindy married. Desperate to resuscitate her dream, Cindy furnishes a new studio for Frank in hopes he'll record another hit. Instead, he'd rather drink. Upset by his lack of ambition, Cindy berates him incessantly ("I hate every fat bone in your body!"). And now, twenty-three years after appearing on American Bandstand, Frank lives sequestered to the basement where he uses coffee cans as his improvised bathroom. Both appalled and amused by his parents' behavior, Cindy's filmmaker son, G.J., picks up his video camera and aims it at them. After a year of filming, what began as an attempt to mock his one-hit-wonder step-father, instead becomes a candid portrait of the pursuit of happiness. ]]> Thu, 08 Nov 2007 03:14:16 -0500 Frank and Cindy 10464018 http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/boing-boing-boing-007-2006-11-13/10464018/

David Pescovitz: On this week's edition of Get Illuminated! we chatted with Loren Coleman. As BB readers know, Loren is the world's leading cryptozoologist who has spent the last four decades studying "hidden animals," from Bigfoot and Yeti to Nessie and Chupacabras, and the culture surrounding them. He blogs about his curious findings at Cryptomundo and is the author of seventeen books, including my favorites Bigfoot: The True Story of Apes in America, Mysterious America, and Tom Slick: True Life Encounters in Cryptozoology. We spoke with Loren about how he became a cryptozoologist, what it means to be a Fortean, recent tales of Sasquatch, the case of the Dover Demon, and why the world is getting weirder.

Xeni Jardin: Longtime Sigur Rós collaborator and fellow Icelandic native Jóhann Jóhannsson has a new album out this month, starring the venerable IBM 1401 computer of yore. Jóhannsson's also been doing live performances of "IBM 1401, a User's Manual," as shown above. Adam Farrell from music label 4AD tells BoingBoing: The story goes that Johannsson's dad was the technician on Iceland's first 1401. Johann found the machine in his dad's house, and sampled it for this album -- which is more of a classical / electronic album. He's experimented like this before -- he used ham radios and morse code transceivers on his Kitchen Motors CD. He figured sampling the world's first small business computer was the next step. Back in 1960, these devices weren't cheap: $2,500 a month to lease one. Image at left: Photo of Basic IBM 1401 system from BRL 1961, courtesy of Wikipedia. The artist explains how the project came together in his own words here. Link to project site, here's a video clip of the modern dance piece he scored for IBM 1401 (with someone narrating from the manual).

Mark Frauenfelder: We're happy to present Boing Boing Digital Emporium's first batch of DRM-free music. Spike Priggen is offering three songs from his latest album, There's No Sound In Flutes! (with album art by Peter Bagge). Citing as influences the '80s New York/London punk and new wave scenes, as well as the power pop of Cheap Trick and Big Star, Spike (Michael) Priggen makes a wide variety of pop music, which ranges from subtle chamber pop to loud, bombastic garage rock to forays into psychedelia. There's No Sound In Flutes! is his 3rd solo LP. From the jangly romanticism of "I Know Everything," to the scathing wit of "Everyone Loves Me But You," (30-second MP3 sample) to the heart-on-sleeve sentiment of "Little Star," (30-second MP3 sample) to the elegant, evocative twang of "The Only Girl (in the World)," the self-penned, self-produced There's No Sound In Flutes (on the artist's own Volare Label) maintains the same bountiful levels of craft, energy and heart that distinguished Priggen's prior solo releases, the all-original The Very Thing That You Treasure and the quirky covers collection Stars After Stars After Stars. 30-second samples: Everyone Loves Me But You, Little Star, Till It All Falls Apart Buy Everyone Loves Me But You ($1), Buy Little Star ($1), Buy Till It All Falls Apart ($1) ]]> Thu, 28 Sep 2006 11:46:45 -0400 BB Emporium: 3 songs by Spike Priggen 1219840 http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/1219840/
