Favoriting The Media Squat with Douglas Rushkoff: Playlist from October 26, 2009 Favoriting

The Media Squat is freeform, bottom-up, open source radio looking towards similarly open source, bottom-up solutions to some of the problems engendered by our relentlessly top-down society.

Each show will initiate a series of discussions, which will themselves comprise part of an expanding wiki of resources, support material, and community-generated content.

This isn't pure '60s or Whole Earth radicalism and self-sufficiency (though it's certainly related) but a 21st Century, cyberpunk reclamation of all technologies and social contracts as essentially open source, up for discussion, and open to modification. It's an application of the hacker ethic and net collectivism to everything, done in the spirit of fun and adventure.

Ongoing forums with host, guests, and listeners take place at http://www.mediasquat.net.

Welcome to The Media Squat
  6:03pm
Charles-A.:

We're open to suggestions.
  6:05pm
Charles-A.:

Energy, the ability to do work, is one thing. Anergy, the ability to slack off, is quite another thing.
  6:09pm
Charles-A.:

At that point, free energy would destroy the current providers unless and unil they figured ouot a way to profit from it.
  6:10pm
Charles-A.:

Kewl. Fun with scanners. That takes me back.
  6:14pm
Charles-A.:

Book tour is another kind of industrial disease.
  6:18pm
Charles-A.:

No seriously.

Bush had an energy policy?

I thought he was all for strip mining the national parks for coal and natural gas and it ended there.
  6:21pm
Charles-A.:

In fact it was so blatant that even the coal companies were ashamed to take the gift that Bush was proffering.
  6:24pm
Charles-A.:

Energy storage is easy. Pump water UP when you've got excess energy and let it flow down through turbines when you need it.
  6:26pm
Charles-A.:

Distribution can be local (tri-state wide) rather that requiring nation wide grids.
  6:31pm
Charles-A.:

Stay out of Canada. The blue-eyed Arabs in Alberta will rob you blind. :-)
  6:38pm
Charles-A.:

VROOM VROOM!!! The sound of inefficiency. (I used to tune engines and I considered it properly tuned when I could stand a Canadian Nickle on its edge and it would NOT fall over.)
  6:40pm
Charles-A.:

General Tire, Standard Oil and Ford screwed us.

It WAS a conspiracy.
  6:43pm
Charles-A.:

The car won. Deal with it.

The problem is that the oil distribution is now the major cause of our problems.
  6:48pm
Charles-A.:

Its always one damn thing after another. :-)
  6:50pm
Charles-A.:

look at http://www.theoildrum.com/ for more information.

And buy her book.
  6:57pm
Charles-A.:

Here a link to her book:
