Histoire politique de la piraterie. De la Grèce antique jusqu’à la Somalie contemporaine : 3 000 ans d’aventure et de brigandage en mer. En l’an 78 avant Jésus-Christ, un jeune homme aux manières précieuses et à l’air hautain prend la mer. Banni de Rome par Sylla, il se rend à Rhodes accompagné d’esclaves, afin de s’instruire des arts perfides de la rhétorique. Une troupe de pirates le capture alors et demande une rançon de 20 talents contre sa vie.

If you’ve been following our coverage of the disruption of the publishing industry, you know that the meaning of the term “book” has become pretty fluid, thanks to the e-book revolution; and it’s not just the Kindle, but new offerings like Byliner and Atavist, which blur the lines between books and magazines, and even new variations on an old format like serialized fiction.
So do physical books really matter any more? Is there something special about them, or are they just a historical artifact whose time has come and gone? Internet curmudgeon Nick Carr attacked this particular question in a recent post on his blog, and got into an interesting debate with digital-media theorist Clay Shirky via the comments. Ironically, while Shirky is often criticized as a purveyor of wishful thinking about media, it is Carr who argues there is something ineffable and mysterious about the format we know as the book, while Shirky’s argument seems more based in reality As Shirky puts it:

Press. Cool articles. How to Find the Right Bathroom. I really hate public restrooms with signs on them saying only “men” or “women”. How boring is that? What’s wrong with being creative, even when it comes to this very basic human function?

Monday - The Setup The whole thing started when my plane landed in Los Angeles on Monday afternoon at 2:55pm coming from Cabo San Lucas.
The guy sitting next to me on the plane asked me to loan him a pen so that he could fill out his customs form. I watched him fill out the form and clearly remember his birth year of 1984, but am a bit unsure about his name. I think it was -----, but in this story, we will refer to him as Pinche. How It Was Lost As we were about to disembark from the plane, I sent my friend Ramiro a text saying that I will be out of customs in about 30 minutes. Faceoff In customs, I skipped passed the line and found Pinche. Tracking the iPhone When I got to my office, I pulled up the MobileMe site and used the Find My Phone feature. Why did I assume this? Now I was beginning to get suspicious.

» New York Times 50 Most Challenging Words (defined and used) - The New York Times recently published a list of 50 fancy words that most frequently stump their readership. They are able to measure this data thanks to a nifty in-page lookup mechanism, which you can try here. Try double-clicking the word “epicenter”. Since the NYT didn’t include definitions of these words, I decided to post a job to MediaPiston to produce an article defining and using each word in the list. Voila!
