December 07 - Vol 2. No. 49 Up Front Sunday Morning NW: It is with personal sadness that we note the passing of Eugene media artist David Joyce. David was a remarkable photographer,film maker, artist, and teacher who touched the lives of many of our readers who were students at Lane Community College.
The Web is used for many purposes ranging from retailing to providing the latest in news and entertainment. It is increasingly used for the delivery of educational programs through web based instruction (WBI). Many secondary schools such as Oregon based CoolSchool,and institutions of higher education offer courses and some complete degree programs using the Web. Today's Random Links section provides information about web based instruction. We will be writing more about distance education and multimedia design in the future. Today we begin a tutorial feature that will appear from time to time. Our first tutorial is on the use of Maya software for the design of 3D environments. This contribution is by Keith Legg, 3D specialist with the Oregon Research Institute's Applied Computer Simulations Lab in Eugene, Oregon. A recent CBS Evening News program featured a growing problem with the use of camera phones. The segment focused on Gary Dann a 23-year-old Philadelphia who armed with a camera phone takes pictures of "whomever he wants, whenever he wants". These are then uploaded to his web site for anyone to log on and see. According to the report, "Though many complain the pictures are often far less than flattering, the biggest concern among photo subjects is that people like Dann and perhaps countless other 'pocket paparazzi' like him could become a threat to privacy." This technology , on the other hand, may prove valuable in certain circumstances such as when a 15-year-old Clifton, N.J.boy took pictures with his camera phone of a man who tried to entice him into his car. Police were able to identified the man based on the images and made an arrest. With 18 million camera phone users already snapping away there will etiquette abuses and no doubt legal questions about how images taken with these new devices are displayed and used. The use of the Internet for the sharing of photographs of most anything, anywhere, at anytime is exemplified at Fotolog.Net.This is a free web site that lets you display digital photos in a daily log format. Are you looking for a search engine that offers audio and video search services? The Singingfish audio/video search engine helps people easily find mp3s, movie trailers, sports highlights, newscasts, and other streaming files.

They are designed to "entertain, enlighten and bring about an emotion response." New-York-based filmmakers Sandra Gibson and Luis Recoder will present their work in "The Matter of Film" at the Downtown Initiative for Visual Arts (DIVA) today.The program features a multiple-projector expanded cinema performance The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) presents its first Web-only exhibition, showcasing over 120 German Expressionist prints. Artists of Brücke: Themes in German Expressionist Prints is an excellent online example of how art might be made available through image,sound, and animation from this time forward. Student Films are being accepted for the Vail Film Festival. The festival accepts student films postmarked by December 31st, 2003. Kodak will be presenting $1500 in film stock to the winner of the Best Student Cinematography Award.

Keith is a 3D artist with the Oregon Research Institute's Applied Computer Simulations Lab (ACSL) in Eugene, Oregon. The Lab's research team is well known for the virtual reality programs it has designed to help physically disabled children operate motorized wheelchairs successfully and safely in the natural environment. Keith has been the lead 3D artist for an Internet version of ACSL's wheelchair training The goal of today's Maya Tutorial is, according to the author, "...to make a simple control handle for a set of Venetian blinds. The objective is to link the blinds rotation channels to a common control we don't have to select each one to open the blinds. We also want a constraint so they do not rotate all 360 degrees because blinds do not do this in the real world." Here are two links that Keith recommends for those interested learning more about 3D graphics:

Networking engineer Barrett Lyon is hard at work on his Internet mapping project, dubbed Opte, with the goal of creating a comprehensive graphical representation of the Internet in just one day using a single computer and a standard networking program called "traceroute." "It started as a bet, but after I warmed up to the idea I found a lot of value in the project itself," says Lyon, who notes his maps could provide a useful overview of the Internet's structure and even pinpoint the effects of disruptions caused by real-world disasters. The traceroute software records the network addresses that a data packet traverses as it travels toward its destination. Lyon has modified the software to map only larger "class C" networks, and theorizes that by performing 194 traceroute searches per second, it should be able to scan the whole Net in a day. And while some question whether Lyon's schema will be capable of tracking every A MICROSOFT IN EVERY CAR? Microsoft has already invaded most of the PC-equipped households and businesses in the U.S. and is now eyeing its next conquest -- your automobile. "We'd like to have one of our operating systems in every car on Earth," says Dick Brass, VP of Microsoft's automotive business unit. "It's a lofty goal." The software giant already has its platform installed on 23 different vehicle models, including the BMW 7 series, Daimler, Volvo, Subaru and Toyota. Brass says the myriad gadgets that drivers use to while away their commuting hours can all be connected via Microsoft's "TBox," which will also enable hands-free operation. "The idea is to make easy to bring phones and laptops into the carand connect to networks around it." He also envisions using the TBox system to organize van pools and reduce traffic congestion. "It's possible to imagine setting a system in place with 5,000 to 10,000 vans and have a dramatic reduction in traffic. With GPS and TBox, we have the tools we would need to put this all together." But some critics have voiced concern over Microsoft's new venture: "I don't want Ford making PDAs, and I don't want Microsoft making cars," says one skeptic.

Computer game developers are increasingly willing to give away the software STREISAND LOSES LAWSUIT AGAINST CONSERVATIONIST WEB SITE. A judge in Los Angeles has ruled against singer Barbra Streisand in her $10 million law suit alleging an invasion of privacy by two photographs of her Malibu estate posted on a conservation Web site. The defendant said he has posted more than 12,000 photos taken by helicopter for scientific research on the coastline. The judge ruled: "Occasional overflights are among those ordinary incidents of community life of which plaintiff is part. The taking of photographs in picturesque, coastal areas is a similarly routine activity." The site is located at www.californiacoastline.org. (AP/USA Today 4 Dec 2003) MOVIE PIRACY CONTINUES DESPITE INDUSTRY EFFORTS. Although film industry efforts to make illegal copying more difficult,piracy appears to have increased from previous years. The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) estimates that there are now 200,000 Web sites offering movies pirated by "ripping crews" (who recruit members around the world to obtain, edit, transfer and store films); these ripping crews are frequently assisted by people connected to the movie industry itself, such as cinema employees, workers at post-production houses and friends of Academy members. The MPAA and California law enforcement officials are planning how to enforce a new state law barring the illegal recording of motion pictures in movie theaters. (Los Angeles Times 4 Dec 2003) AMERICA'S CHILDREN EMBRACE THE WEB More than 2 million U.S. children aged 6 to 17 currently have their own Web sites, according to a survey by Grunwald Associates, and based on respondents' answers, the market research service predicts that more than 6 million children could have their own personal sites by 2005. "Previous generations of kids wrote earnest poetry, or joined rock bands to express themselves. Today's kids do so by building personal Web sites. And they're hungry for tools to help them build better, more engaging sites, and stay in closer touch with friends," says Peter Grunwald, president of Grunwald Associates. And while almost half of the teenagers with home Internet access polled either had a Web site or planned to build one, a third of 6-8-year-olds expressed similar plans. The study also indicated that girls were more likely to have their own sites than boys (12.2% vs. 8.6%). Meanwhile, the proliferation of broadband connections at home has rendered Internet access from school a disappointing experience for many. A whopping 76% of kids with home broadband connections reported their home connection was faster than the school's. Even a majority of children with dialup access at home (62%) perceive their home connections to be the same or faster than those at school. And though the connections may be slow, both parents and kids expressed rising levels of dissatisfaction with the amount of time allotted to their children for computer use at school, with nearly WHAT'S IN A NAME? PLENTY, IF IT'S TRADEMARKED!Amid mounting concern over possible trademark violations, Google has asked the U.S. District Court in San Jose to rule on whether the search engine's advertising program, which focuses on the sale of keywords, violates trademarks owned by other companies. Google maintains that its terms and conditions stipulate that advertisers themselves "are responsible for the keywords and ad text that they choose to use," but the search engine leader lost a lawsuit brought last summer by Louis Vuitton in French court and is battling similar accusations by American Blind & Wallpaper Factory, which owns the trademarks to the phrases "American wallpaper" and "American blind." American Blind & Wallpaper has threatened to sue Google if it doesn't remove those phrases from its keyword pool. An additional controversy has arisen over search providers' responsibility to give trademark holders appropriate visibility in the search results based on keywords related to their trademarked terms, regardless of whether they pay for it. A lawsuit against Yahoo alleging unfair treatment was brought last year by Mark Nutritionals, which is seeking $440 million in damages.

"The present young generation has a deeply ingrained music-for-free attitude. They want, expect and take for granted their music like water from the tap or electricity from the wall socket, at a minimum cost. (Music) is much more a lifestyle choice now rather than the ritualistic environment-creator that it was when I was young." Does it really make any difference? Well, yes, says Matchbox 20 singer Rob Thomas. "Remembering Michael Jackson's music, I know what happened to me during the "Off the Wall" period, during "Thriller," during "Bad." I can chart my life by Elton John's albums. I feel sorry for kids 13 or 14 who never had album experiences and got by one song at a time." (USA Today 4 Dec 2003) BRAZIL'S POOR LEARN NEW JOB SKILLS IN CYBERCAFÉS With a 20% unemployment rate, Sao Paolo is experimenting with a innovative way to help its poorest citizens learn computer skills -- the city's Telecenter Cidade Tiradentes is a free Internet café set up by the local authority. The Telecenter is a haven for young people, who frequent the cybercafé to learn keyboarding skills and surf the net for employment opportunities. The federal project began about two and half years ago and there are now 250,000 people using the nearly 100 net cafés throughout the country. "We want to take the telecenters to the poorer areas in the periphery, to reduce the social and economic divide," says Beatriz Tibirica, coordinator of the city's E-Government project. "Access to technology is fundamental in order to get full rights and opportunities in modern society." The computers use the free GNU/Linux operating system, which significantly reduces the cost of running the program and is part of the Brazilian government's overall plan to move toward open source software.
