Chris goes to Portland, Oregon for the 2018 XOXO Festival, Steve goes to Portland, Maine for his bachelor party, and one of us goes to the mall and gets our prostrate massaged without meaning to.

Organizational fun begins with the calendar. James and Jean talk about the journey from paper to digital calendars, to iCal on the Mac and the array of choices from third-party developers. We also discuss our approaches to the important question of what things actually belong on a calendar versus what should go into our trusted task management systems. Finally, we look at how sharing a calendar requires one to define even more clearly what is really happening and what is not. XOXO Festival, Portland, Oregon Fantastical BusyCal WhenWorks

This is a special extra edition of Micro Monday, recorded at the XOXO Festival with Doug Beal. The interview was recorded in an Airstream Trailer, the mobile podcast and storytelling studio provided by StreamPDX. It was a fun experience, and I thank Doug for being the guinea pig and doing a live recording on a moment’s notice.

Chris is going to the XOXO Festival in Portland, Oregon; Steve is having a bachelor party in Portland, Maine; and climate change in Portlands all over our fair planet is very, very real.

infocom https://uploads.fireside.fm/images/8/8902c1c9-f2fa-4d62-89a4-5ff690afde35/U0mvOCIF.png Andy Baio is a veteran of the early web, creator of waxy.org (http://waxy.org), upcoming.org (http://upcoming.org), and playfic.com (http://playfic.com). He was the first CTO for Kickstarter and went on to create the XOXO Festival (https://2018.xoxofest.com/) in Portland Oregon. He's also into collecting original 1980s Infocom games and still plays them today despite owning modern computers and video cards that can do so much more.

This week, Brad and Dave welcome professional adventure cartoonist Lucy Bellwood. Lucy delivered a jaw-droppingly honest look at the life of a professional freelancer at the XOXO Festival last year, and it seemed only natural to discuss the importance of transparency in a profession so driven by social media. But first, Brad asks if they've ever performed a snow-day ritual.

This week Jesse and Kevin talk about exploiting workers, protecting your privacy, weird copyright situations, movies and tv shows that are objectively bad, and some that are obviously good. Jesse updated how he does the links, so Kevin has even less work to do in describing the episode for these notes. Did you know Jesse edits each episode? And writes the Links section you always find below these notes? All Kevin does is upload the episodes, writes these short blurbs and manages the hosting. And I guess they both keep showing up to talk to each other. So that's where they share the load some. Also Jesse and Kevin both write things in the third person when writing about the episodes. I guess it gives everything a sense of being a part of something larger. Like if they had an unpaid intern who did all the grunt work, and Jesse and Kevin just show up. But no. It's just Jesse and Kevin, doing everything. Links Kevin blocks ads with EFF's Privacy Badger. Jesse blocks ads with Ghostery and 1Blocker. The DECK and Project Wonderful are cool ad platforms. Mozilla makes a dumb ad supported browser called Brave. Sarah Jeong gave a great talk about ad blocking at the XOXO Festival. The Toast was a cool website that Hillary Clinton wrote for once. You should not do creative work "for exposure". Jesse is divorced, but his wedding photographers were incredible. Stan Lee doesn't own the copyright for his Marvel characters. Kevin has opinions on copyright that might make Jesse's sister mad. A monkey took a selfie and the copyright got complicated. wikiHow artwork is terrifying and makes for a fun game. Cookin Good was a bizarre cooking show on Austin's public access. The Room and Birdemic: Shock and Terror are good bad movies. Kevin thinks Dude, Where's My Car? is a good movie. (It's not.) Trekkies made fun Star Trek fans. The Middle-Earth canon is complicated. Movies with Mikey made Kevin and Jesse cry about Serenity. Sci-fi universes get weird when authors die. Kevin is currently reading Fluency by Jennifer Foehner Wells and March by John Lewis. Jesse thinks Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt are too attractive to be in space. Jesse finished watching Battlestar Galactica, Luke Cage, and The Crown; is now rewatching Parks and Rec. Parks and Rec "grew the beard" when Rob Lowe and Adam Scott showed up. Unprepared officially recognizes Taiwan as a sovereign entity. Kevin lays out the timeline of the Star Trek TV shows. Bryan Fuller is no longer involved in the Star Trek: Discovery.

Craven and Zak talk about their trip to XOXO in Portland, update you on Episode 5 and hit you with some entertainment recommendations.

OSIRIS-REx, NASA's asteroid sampling mission, recently launched. Live from the XOXO Festival, Jason and Stephen talk about the mission, its objectives and all about asteroids.

In about two weeks, Andy McMillan and Andy Baio will welcome several hundred makers what may be the last XOXO Festival.The Fest is a mere four years old, but during that short run it became a premier destination for discussing creativity and technology. Over the years, attendees included a huge range of creatives: blog stars from Boing Boing, DJ sensation Dan Deacon, design fiends of all stripes, the makers of Cards Against Humanity, and social thinkers like feminist critic Anita Sarkeesian, as well as design fiends, podcasters, comic creators, game developers, and so many more. But despite strong attendance (they end up turning away hundreds of would-be attendees each year) the Andys are hitting the brakes. There will not be a XOXO festival in 2017. We talk with Baio and McMillan about what's up at the Outpost, and where the Fest has taken them.

XOXO's Pulls Plug on the Festival, But Plugs in a New Workspace - 1:15Over the last four years, the XOXO Festival has become a premier destination for the intersection of creativity and technology, drawing blog stars, DJ sensations and creators like the folks behind Cards Against Humanity, while regularly turning away hundreds of would-be attendees each year. Yet co-founders Andy Baio and Andy McMillan are hitting the brakes. There will not be a XOXO festival in 2017. That’s not to say they will never bring it back. But the Andys say that, after four years of listening to talk about methods, markets, practice and process, they decided to dedicate themselves instead to their new, pay-what-you-can co-work space called XOXO Outpost.Kelly Pratt to Kick Off TBA with Hundreds of Horns - 7:00After living a nomadic life for 21 years, the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art finally has a new home in northeast Portland. And to celebrate, they're turning over the opening night event to the multi-instrumentalist Kelly Pratt, who has played and arranged for everyone from Beirut to Arcade Fire to David Byrne. Pratt is writing music for hundreds of brass instruments, amateur and professional alike, with the plan to splatter the walls with music in an event called "Fanfare: Birth>Rebirth."Central Oregon Loses Its Arts Central - 17:40A forty year tradition of arts education and advocacy has run aground in Bend. Arts Central, which brought classes, advocacy, and more to thousands of Central Oregon residents, announced on Aug. 19 that it was closing all operations, including the popular classes at Art Station, leaving us to ask: is anyone steering the region’s arts scene?Can Ages and Ages Make Songs About Earthquakes and the End of Civilization Fun? Yes, They Can. - 21:55The band Ages and Ages is infectious. All those hand claps and group harmonies have made songs like "No Nostalgia" and "Do the Right Thing" total NPR ear worms. But the band has changed tack on their new album, “Something to Ruin.” The music is just as infectious, but the subject matter has become much more topical, dealing with issues of booming real estate, mass consumerism, and, well, the impending Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake. They played an exclusive preview of the music and talked about how the end of civilization could be a good thing.Pidgin Languages in the Portland Building - 34:55A new art installation in the Portland Building’s lobby explores an immigrant’s experience through the pidgin language spoken in Lagos, the Nigerian capitol. Bukola Koiki came to the US as a teenager, did her undergrad degree in North Texas, and then came to Portland for graduate school. She speaks Yoruba and English, but says pidgin is a necessity in Nigeria, a country where 500 languages are spoken. LAIKA's 'Kubo of the Two Strings" Is a Hit - 41:30The newest film from LAIKA is out, and critics are calling it the Hillsboro-based animation house's best film to date. “Kubo of the Two Strings” is a coming-of-age epic set in fantasy Japan, where a young storyteller uses music to bring his origami paper creations to life. The film stars Art Parkinson as Kubo, as well as Charlize Theron, Ralph Fiennes, Rooney Mara, George Takei and Matthew McConaughey. LAIKA’s CEO Travis Knight is a veteran animator, but Kubo is his first time in the director’s chair, as he recently told Audie Cornish on "All things Considered."

The talented clog dancers, Chris & Paul chat with producer, arranger, composer & performer Jonathan Killearn. It’s a battle of dueling microphones & cheap Korean guitars. Jonathan did the “Advice with Dawn” music on the The Dawn And Drew Show. “It May Not Be An Apple Watch, But It’s Still Pretty Cool” is Jonathan’s latest track. The lyrics are about drum & bugle corps enthusiast, Jdfuncorps. Jonathan made his rough prototype with Reason and then recorded his acoustic instruments. Jonathan’s gorgeous beastly bass guitar. Music as a Healing Bridge from TedxBuffalo. You can study Music Therapy at Jonathan’s alma mater, Ohio University. Struck by lightning & then compelled to compose music? Tiny houses have no room for drum sets. Pitch shifting to the rescue! Everyone needs a suitcase kick drum. Put on your nice shoes & tap out the beat Montreal style. Process is important but everyone finds their way if they’re passionate enough. Mike Judge recently discussed the various ways he made his animations in a recent Nerdist Podcast. Chris remembers Eddie and the Cruisers during a discussion about tempo. I Dream of Wires is a documentary about the electronic modular synthesizer. Jonathan believes you do need limits to be creative. He’s not the only one. Jonathan’s vocal mic, Studio Projects C4. Our guest originally wanted an Earthworks mic, but he didn’t want to drop two grand on a microphone. Inspiration in the form of Jonathan Coulton. Jack Conte at XOXO Festival.

本期话题包括迪士尼乐园、Stratechery 对小米的评价、传闻中的 12 寸 MacBook Air、以及关于苹果软件质量的再次探讨。 每月三十元，支持李如一和 Rio 把《IT 公论》做成最好的科技播客。请访问 itgonglun.com/member。 你们当中有多少人去过迪士尼乐园？请一定在孩子年幼时带他去一趟。如果没有孩子，请一定带自己去一趟。只要你对设计有兴趣，就不能错过迪士尼乐园，那是 1960 年代的 retro 未来主义杰作，是终极的虚拟现实体验，是实验性与娱乐性兼备的新媒体，是对人类文明与技术文化的礼赞。迪士尼乐园也是被高度控制的专有式巨型软硬整合系统，是科幻小说家 Arthur C. Clarke 的名言「足够先进的技术与魔术无异」最直接的体现（魔术一词在迪士尼的世界里无处不在）——迪士尼的「想象工程师」（Imagineer）深刻懂得要把技术隐藏起来的道理。 迪士尼是 1960 年代的 Magic Leap。抑或说，Magic Leap 是廿一世纪的迪士尼？ 迪士尼乐园是万维网的对立面。它是封闭的、独裁的、高品质的、清洁的。但和很多万维网上的产品一样，迪士尼乐园也从来没有停止过「迭代」和扩张。能在八岁和二十岁各去一次迪士尼乐园的人是幸运的。 Stratechery 的 Ben Thompson 认为小米在当今中国年轻人中收获的狂热品牌忠诚度将会在未来转化为更强的购买力。（李如一的反论。）今天廿四岁租房住的研究生可能只有一台小米手机，但他置业之后则会买上一屋子的小米牌智能家具。这种大胆的 extrapolation 能否成立，取决于小米的品牌形象在未来有无改进的可能。 我们不认同「中国主流用户不在乎品牌形象只在乎性价比」这样的论述（即便它在今天或许是事实），也不赞成 Thompson 在文中以美国崛起过程中同样有大量侵权事件为理据为小米开脱。这里不需要 sophistication：我们讨厌抄袭。就这样。 9to5Mac 爆料说苹果将推出机体比 11 寸 MacBook Air 小但屏幕比 11 寸 MacBook Air 大同时只有一个 USB Type-C 接口和一个耳机口的 12 寸 MacBook Air。很明显这是在把笔记本电脑往平板的方向推进。试着把那个孤独的 USB Type-C 接口（可充电）想象成 iPad 上的 Lightning 口，就知道这是一台用起来更像 iPad 的机器：晚上充电，白天带出门，充电器留在家里。别忘了现有的 MacBook Air 的标称续航力已经比 iPad 的标称续航力更强。据传这款 12 寸的 MacBook Air 将在今年六月左右上市，不知届时我们会不会在 WWDC 上看到 OS X 10.11 进一步向 iOS 方向演进。 说到这个，如今希望 10.11 不要那么快推出，或者至少不要增加那么多新功能的人不在少数。Marco Arment 写了一篇抱怨苹果软件质量下降的文章，英文博客圈为之沸腾。这倒不是新闻，我们在《IT 公论》里就已经聊了很多次。但如果重量级的第三方开放者丧失士气，则的确不是好兆头。明星级 Mac / iOS 第三方开发厂商 Panic 在 2014 年从 iOS 软件处获得的收入只占总收入的 17%——尽管在销量上 iOS 软件占了 51%。而如果连 Panic 在跟苹果 App Store 的审核团队打交道时都有那么多的不愉快，小玩家的痛苦可想而知。 反面的例子也不是没有。编程文档聚合软件 Dash 的开发者贴出了自己 2014 年的收入清单。他这一年休了五个星期的假，赚了两个典型硅谷工程师的钱，而且有不少日子一天只工作两个小时，其它时间都在打《炉石传说》。选对目标市场的重要性不言而喻。 希望大家在 2015 年已经有了一个好的开始。请保持运动的习惯，不要参加 iOS vs. Android、Vim vs. Emacs、移民 vs. 报效祖国一类的圣战。感谢大家支持《IT 公论》！ 最近我们读的一些文章 （低俗）平装本的历史，这篇或许可以帮助你理解 Buzzfeed 亚马逊 Fire Phone 背后的故事 一个 app 如何在 App Store 月入五位数 如何在全方位全天候监控下生存 Evan Williams 说点击量不是一切。Duh! 相关链接 《内核恐慌》第八期 Citizenfour Cyber Dust Dark Mail Captain EO It’s a Small World Carousel of Progress Ben Thompson: Xiaomi’s Ambition 关于 12 寸 MacBook Air 的传闻 Jason Snell 对传说中的 12 寸 MacBook Air 的评论 Panic 的 2014 年度报告 Space Age The Incident Dash Marco Arment 对苹果软件质量下降的批评 Docker Bertrand Serlet Panic 创始人 Cabel Sasser 在 2013 XOXO Festival 的演讲 人物简介 李如一：字节社创始人。 Rio: Apple4us 程序员。

The Thermals originally began as Hutch Harris's solo recording project. He sang and played all the instruments on the 2003 Thermals record More Parts Per Million. In this episode, Hutch breaks down his lo-fi recording of the song No Culture Icons. The track was later mixed by Chris Walla, who's known best for his work with Death Cab for Cutie, and we’ll hear some thoughts from him as well. I spoke with Hutch in front of a live audience at the XOXO Festival in Portland, Oregon.

Better yet, you can stay up to date & contribute to his work via the awesome service Patreon. In true Montreal Sauce fashion, we jump into conversation and don’t get around to introducing Justin until 49 minutes into the show. Being an amazing guest, Justin interviews us just as much as we interview him. We all quickly agree that we have no idea if the 300 sequel Rise of an Empire is historically accurate, but Wikipedia is the way to find out. Justin encourages us to edit, not just lurk on the free encyclopedia. Chris pledges allegiance to After Effects comparing it to a tool rather than service or box of filters like Instagram. Similarly, this week Chris shares that the way we interact with our phones/tablets isn’t necessarily intuitive according to some. Justin prefers using Final Cut & Motion for developing The Justin Hall Show. We discuss the age of the camera phone and sharing on the Internet. While Chris wonders if some folks are sharing because they’re self-absorbed, Justin rightly points out that “authenticity cannot be measured.” Paul introduces pre-parent Paul’s thoughts on Internet sharing vs. parent Paul’s opinion. We discuss digital identity and “Internet fame” and briefly talk about “This is Phil Fish.” Paul talks games, Directional episode titled “E4” and twitch.tv, the video sharing site focused on gaming. We discuss promoting the podcast, creating brands, marketing on the web and the level of engagement of the brands online. Paul reminisces about the Grand Valley Summer Film Program. Justin talks about a recent read, When The Shooting Stops, The Cutting Begins. Chris suggest A Complete History of My Sexual Failures, a personal documentary that was an emotional roller coaster. We talk San Francisco, Google and Detroit. Plus the awesome power of communities. As Chris shares his joy for PMOG, Justin hopes to attend Montreal Sauce Con in 3 years. Justin’s goal is to premier his film about 20 years of web sharing at XOXO Festival & Conference in September. Support Montreal Sauce on Patreon
