- Britt talks about working with local government:Like Patrick Gregston, I don't have experience with the government stonewalling me at all, and I've spent a lot of time working with governments. Before I became a tech junkie, I was a Denver-area real estate developer. I've formed three metropolitan districts, closed two municipal tax-exempt fundings, annexed 1600 acres to a 90 acre town and made a lot of money changing zoning, installing utilities and building streets. I even patented a solar hom... |

- BoingBoing reader Steve Portigal says,... "Reuters offers a link in every story to email the article to someone. After you fill in the usual info, there is a line that says I confirm that I have the recipient's consent to provide their email address for this purpose, followed by Send and Cancel. This is very strange for a couple of reasons. You aren't actually agreeing to their terms, IMHO, because you are not clicking Agree. |

- Let's Make Enemies ...The CPA has also confirmed that after June 30, the $18.4 billion the US government is spending on reconstruction will be administered by the US Embassy in Iraq. The money will be spent over five years and will fundamentally redesign Iraq's most basic infrastructure, including its electricity, water, oil and communications sectors, as well as its courts and police. Iraq's future governments will have no say in the construction of these core sectors of Iraqi society. |

- After a long flight to the US and several hours of negotiations, I'm pleased to announce that Electronic Arts has sold the rights to Earth & Beyond, its source code and assets to EBPortal for an undisclosed sum. Also included in the purchase was all server hardware which will be moved to a new data-centre. It is my intention to move one server to Europe to allow the spread of the game internationally. As part of the new "Portalive Studios" brand, several ex-Electronic Arts team members will be involved in the move. Sadly, Cerdith and Niobe will not be moving as they're firmly set in place in the UXO design team. |

- ! Perhaps it is because I come from a culture where advertising pervades every aspect of waking life and which wouldn't surprise me if paid product placements would start appearing in our dreams, but I give some extra attention and curiosity to the advertising in Finland. I've noticed that Finnish advertising tends to lean towards a more straightforward and clean style than much of the aggressive in your face advertisements in the US. This is not to say that both countries don't have their own respective loads of crap, but overall I think the softer sell and elegant design is more attractive. However, I wasn't prepared for a new trend of blatant truth in advertising lately. It's refreshing, yet disturbing since it goes against all the usual rules of the advertising grift. |
