phpQuery is, among other things, a PHP port of the JavaScript library jQuery. You front-end developers out there may already know where I'm going with this, but in-case you don't know, jQuery is known for many things, but is probably best known for its incredible support of CSS Selectors. CSS Selectors allow you to select HTML elements using the same syntax you'd use to style elements in a CSS Stylesheet. (Some of you more experienced readers will no-doubt be jumping to the comments section to complain about how I'm not even mentioning XPath, well I think XPath is overly complicated and can be extremely confusing to beginners. CSS Selectors are far more approachable. Also, I am of the mindset that if at anytime we can standardize on some type of well-tested technique in web development, we should.)

There could be entire books written about what CSS Selectors are and how to utilize them best, so I'm not going to go into too much detail here. If you want to learn about all the intricacies of CSS and jQuery style selectors, first look here: jQuery Docs: Selectors, and if you're still confused, a simple Google search will likely yield all the information you'll need. But for now all you need to know is this: this is the easiest way to screen scrape anything. Ever. phpQuery will let you turn this:

Much nicer right? Yeah I thought so too. Give it a shot and let me know how it goes for you in the comments.

BIG BOLD NOTE BEFORE TRYING THIS: This (very simple) guide is for those who are in the United States and on AT&T. (Basically non hacked, legit iPhones that have been correctly and legally upgraded to iPhone OS 3.0 through the developer program. ALSO: Please do not yell/hate/twitterhate/complain/spam me about this not working for you, it worked for me, and I think the process is pretty standard as long as you have AT&T, are on a legit iPhone plan and are running 3.0

Steps

1. Plug your iPhone into your Mac (I assume this works the same on PCs, but I only use Macs, so your milage may vary.
2. Download this file: http://thejakemarsh.com/ATT_US.ipcc.zip, and unzip, put it somewhere easy to find, like your Downloads or Desktop folder.
3. Go into iTunes, select your iPhone in the Source List on the left.
4. Hold down the option key (that's the "alt/option" key) and click "Check For Updates" - you should get a file chooser dialog.
5. Find the ATT_US.ipcc file on your harddrive (Wherever you downloaded and unzipped it to), select it and click open.
6. You should see a progress dialog saying "Updating Carrier Settings..."
7. Your iPhone may hang for a split second, but once its done, unlock your iPhone and go to "Settings > General > Network > Internet Tethering"
8. Flip the slider to on.
9. If you've done it correctly, your iPhone will momentarily disappear from the Source List in iTunes and a new "Network Interface" dialog will appear.
10. Allow it to do its thing and if everything has gone according to plan, you should be able to disconnect from all other internet sources (Wifi, ethernet, etc) and still browse around and do whatever you like.

I haven't gotten it to successfully work over bluetooth yet, but if you wanted to try just pair your iPhone like any other mobile phone (using the "Bluetooth" panel in System Preferences) then click the cog icon, and click the "Connect to Network" option. I got an error every time I tried this, but it may work for you. Let me know

Please post your results in the comments as I'd like to find out as much as possible about all of this.

Thanks!

Oh and to entice you, here's some screenshots of it working

So with the recent news and events about Hulu content being taken off of Boxee because Hulu's content partners can't get their heads out of their butts and realize we don't live in 1993 anymore, I've decided to release an ALPHA, repeat, ALPHA version of a plugin/feed for Boxee that I've been working on in my spare time.

My plugin is not a replacement for Hulu per say, but rather an additional way to watch all your favorite TV Shows online. It contains a large enough selection of content that it will hopefully hold you over until Hulu returns to Boxee. The videos play from many different sources all over the web.

Some of the sources are: Veoh, YouTube, Google Video, Tudou, 56.com, Guba, Hulu, MegaVideo, YouKu, Tu.tv

NOTE 1: Not all of the videos inside this plugin will play, the sites listed above work just fine, but most others just aren't finished yet.

NOTE 2: A lot of the vids will play automatically, if they don't for some reason, press play a few times and the vid should start up.

Continue reading by clicking this link for the installation/usage instructions:

TV Library 0.1: Install How-To Instructions/Options

NOTE: These steps apply to people using Boxee on Mac OS X only

Download this zip file: tvlibrary.zip

Extract it into a folder called "tvlibrary"

Move this new "tvlibrary" folder into this folder: /Username/Library/Application Support/BOXEE/UserData/apps/

Find the "sources.xml" file and open it in a text editor. It can be found here: /Username/Library/Application Support/BOXEE/UserData/profiles/username/sources.xml

Look for the "<video>SOURCES</video>" block and add this into it:

Save the file, quit Boxee, re-open Boxee.

Go To Video > Internet and run your new option.

The main view of shows inside the TV Library plugin. (NOTE: A LOT of the interface is UNFINISHED, INCOMPLETE and plain 'ol DOES NOT work. This is because TV Library is a hobby project so far for me and I haven't had time to put everything I want into the plugin just yet. It WILL be very polished and full-featured once I'm done. I'm only releasing it early (now) because of the recent Hulu/Boxee developments.)

A show's view in TV Library, again like I said, working but obviously unfinished.

An episode's view in TV Library, again, unfinished.

So tonight was the best night ever, I was hanging out with some of my best friends ever, they play in this band called "THE HIT" (http://myspace.com/thehitrock) and we got a sudden inclination to go to the tattoo shop. Then, epicness ensued.

Here's the result.

Then my buddy @colinstevic got my logo tattooed on his leg.

The ULTIMATE test of friendship!

Here's what it came out like, he's a little bloody because he just got done.

Here's another shot.

Tonight ruled, I hope your nights were just as awesome as mine.

 

Here's the obligatory game description and hype machine copy that explains what the game is all about: "With Triple Play Poker™, you have the chance to play three poker hands at once with bets of up to five credits per hand. You can bet one credit per hand, one credit on all hands, or the max number of credits on all hands. You then tap Deal and the first hand is dealt to you face up. Based on what you were dealt, you tap which cards to hold and those cards are then held in all three hands. After holding the desired cards, you tap Draw and the rest of the cards are dealt. Since each hand is dealt from its own 52 card deck, you’re effectively playing three hands at once and you’ve got three chances to win big!"

I had a ton of fun making this game, and it was definitely a great learning experience for developing iPhone apps. I'd love to know anyone and everyone's thoughts on the gameplay, graphics, etc. So don't be shy! Let me know what you think of the game! Go ahead and post a comment below, or use the iTunes link below to review it on the App Store.

Today, I'm announcing that I'm working on a native iPhone application that will allow people to watch all of Revision3's content on the go. The goal is to have it be the quintessential be-all-end-all Rev3 content app. Many others have tried and come up short. I also want to make it very social, so I want the complete opinions, advice, suggestions and hate mail from the Rev3 community and the internet as a whole so I can make it as perfect as possible right out of the gate. As for release dates and such, the project is about half to three-fourths done. The screen-shots shown above are what the app looks like currently but could and probably will change a bit by release.

Leave any suggestions/comments/concerns/hate/love in the comments please. I want to make the app great for everyone, so any and all input is welcome!

Its been over 25 years since MTV launched onto television airwaves and changed the landscape of music forever. Some (most actually) would argue that recently there's been somewhat of a decline of actual "Music Videos" being played on the station and its sister networks. Well all those nay-sayers can say no more because MTV has dived head first back in to the Music Video business by launching MTV Music. A brand new video sharing site the likes of which has been a long time coming. Not only did MTV pull out all the stops and release their ENTIRE video catalog onto the internet for free on-demand streaming and embedding, they've also built in some awesome community and social features as well as an API for developers to take all this data and build cool apps on top of it.

So when I first got word that MTV had launched a music video site, I immediately imagined a bloated, ad-crazy, pre-and-post-roll-sponsored-video-spot-filled page. I immediately thought back to the experience of loading up MTVNews.com for the first time and waiting about 30 seconds for all of the ".aspx?blahblahblah" to load in all of its required JS libraries and so on. However, I was HAPPILY, I repeat VERY happily surprised when I ventured over and first pulled up MTVMusic.com

The first thing you'll notice about MTVMusic.com is all of the content. MTV has put up its ENTIRE music video catalog online. All catalogued, tagged, indexed and listed in searchable, stumble-able glory. And as if that wasn't enough, they've also made sure to include "Featured Content" sections. (Currently hosting sections like "Vintage Videos and "Monster Mash).

To go along with all of this, they've also decided to put forth a valiant effort to include tons of social and community features in the service.

When it comes to actually watching a music video, everything is pretty straight forward. With a player similar to the of online TV site Hulu, MTVMusic makes watching a lot of videos a breeze. Users can also comment on and discuss each video.

Every user is also given a full social profile on the site. While currently this feature doesn't exactly serve a huge purpose, once traffic on the increases, I'm guessing it will get a lot of attention.

One of the coolest things about the whole site is that they are providing a complete developer API, full XML access to the site's entire catalogue of videos.

Here's an actual embedding video from the site, it is the first music video ever played on MTV when it launched on August 1st, 1981.

I recently sat down (virtually that is) with Sarah Strom, Community Coordinator for the new music video site. Here's some excerpts from our talk:

Wanna try it out already? - Be sure to head over to MTVMusic.com

If you've never heard of Mount Weather, congratulations, you're part of 99.9% of Americans who haven't. Either because of the successes of those who would like to keep its secrecy intact or the failures of others to expose it, you've been left in the dark. To shed some light on the truth, please read on. (Simply click the read on link below to continue reading).

The land in the rolling hills of Northern Virginia is made out of native rock ringing broad acres of open fields. The roads are small and winding, a narrow turnpike that rolls over single-lane wood bridges. Old wood farmhouses, more ambitious homes faced with more of that native stone, sit far off the twisty road amid the hills. Sprinkled along the turnpike are several wee and very old towns - a general store, a church, and nothing more. For someone like me, from the suburbs, it's a dream. It's gentrified country.

Looking out any of the windows in some of the homes there, you will see a small mountain standing ten or fewer miles away. It's a long ridge, and its flanks are dotted by the occasional whitewashed farm house, but it's mostly trees. But wait - what's that on the left there? No, farther left. It looks like a collection of buildings too big to be the farm of a country gentleman. And is that a guard tower?

It is a guard tower. It belongs to part of the government complex on Mount Weather, so named because the National Weather Bureau had a weather observatory on the mountain a very long time ago. According to this website, there was an artillery range located at Mount Weather during WWI, and Calvin Coolidge considered making a summer White House at there. (The weather in the summer in that area is gloriously cool.) Then in 1936, the mountain passed to the Bureau of Mines, which began tunneling into the mountain to see what there was to see. The mountain is made of exceptionally hard Precambrian basalt, the hardest in the east, and that, coupled with concern over the Russians' 1949 atomic bomb detonation, is why the Eisenhower administration spent years tunneling into the mountain and creating what this site calls "a kind of doomsday super-bunker."

"FEMA Underground" - A documentary about asteroid impacts included this FEMA interview that put its director of communications in the HOT SEAT. Note how he answers the questions.

A Cold War-era underground bunker? It's a conspiracy theorist's dream! Beneath the mountain, it's said that there is a hospital, office buildings (and sidewalks!), a freshwater lake, a TV station, a power station, water purification system, living quarters for those VIPs who get invited inside the mountain to weather a nuclear attack (pun intended), and a crematorium. Stories about Mount Weather's bunker and the nefarious plan to shuffle political VIPs to underground facilities while the rest of us writhe and burn in a radioactive cloud are delicious grist for those inclined to wear tin foil chapeax. Mount Weather has found its way into pop culture (even as far back as the 1960s); heck, it even rated a mention on the X-Files back in the day. And yes, it's gotten some attention from a couple of different factions of the UFO folks. It isn't just left-wing loonies who find the mountain intriguing; even right wingers and the fundies get into the tin foil hat-wearing in Mount Weather speculation.

So how much of the buzz about Mount Weather is crazy conspiracy stuff, and how much of it is real? Well, it does exist. Unlike the Naval Observatory, there are even satellite pictures of it (the long curves in the road leading up to it are theoretically to accommodate big trucks carrying large missiles, which apparently don't manage tight curves). I've driven by it and taken pictures (hastily, as rumor has it that guards will confiscate the cameras of anyone caught snapping pictures; the site is visible from a part of the Appalachian Trail, and it's said that hikers who have been caught sketching the site have had to surrender their sketch pads). On top of the ridge along a narrow but well-maintained road that runs beside and to the Mount Weather facility, acres of land are fenced off and marked as property of the U.S. Government. Through the trees and the fencing, you can catch glimpses of the complex of buildings.

Jamey Singleton from Local News Network 'WSLS' looks into the secrets surrounding Mount Weather, located in Northern Virginia, west of D.C.

Mount Weather (also known as "High Rock") no doubt is part of the Federal ARC surrounding the nation's capital - underground sites in North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Maryland with contingency facilities for the government buried beneath the mountains. Among these are "Site R" (Raven Rock) in Pennsylvania, which operates as an underground Pentagon; a site in Culpeper, Virginia, set aside for the Federal Reserve; and the well-known Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia, which now offers tours of the bunker located beneath the resort. Not all of these sites still operate as government bunkers, though rumor has it that Mount Weather is one of Dick Cheney's favorite undisclosed locations. Some say that on September 11, Cheney was whisked away into the bunker beneath the White House. Others insist that he was at Raven Rock. But he may have spent that day at Mount Weather. Locals in the area report a long caravan of official cars making their way down Route 50 onto Route 601, the small (but well-maintained) road that leads to the Mount Weather facilities, on September 11. (I don't have a cite for that, unfortunately - it's word of mouth from locals to me.) Dennis Hastert is one of the government officials who likely wound up at Mount Weather on September 11.

Mount Weather wasn't really known to anyone but the locals who helped make it what it is - most of whom remain quite closed-mouthed about it, according to a Loudoun Magazine article that, unfortunately, is not available online (but I bought the mag and read the article, which was quite good). As a Continuity of Government site, Mount Weather was shrouded in secrecy for years until a plane crashed into the mountain in 1974 and skidded up the hillside onto Mount Weather property. The wreath commemorating those killed in the crash is still there, tucked in a rocky niche by the side of the road under the trees.

After the initial revelation following the plane crash, Mount Weather was pretty much forgotten by all but the tin foiliest. But the events of September 11 and repeated references to Dick Cheney's undisclosed locations renewed interest in Cold War bunker sites like Mount Weather.

"Iron Mountain" - Mary Nam of Local News Station KOMO 4, profiles a facility referred to as Iron Mountain inner-workings in Pennsylvania.

That's all well and good, you say, but besides this tale being somewhat deliciously tin foily (for those of us inclined to enjoy a good conspiracy theory), why should I give a shit about Mount Weather?

Well, it's a main base of operations for FEMA. It's now called the Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center (though it's been known by a number of names during its history). When I was out there a couple of months ago, the sign pointing to the facility still said Mount Weather EAC, which stands for "Emergency Assistance Center"). FEMA conducts training at the site in classrooms and using both indoor and outdoor simulation areas.

FEMA doesn't just do training at Mount Weather, though. When Hurricane Floyd was churning toward the East Coast, FEMA disaster relief operations were revving up not just in DC, but also at Mount Weather. It is entirely possible that FEMA's "response" to Hurricane Katrina was generated as much from Mount Weather as from DC. Who knows - maybe some of the people in those Katrina briefing tapes that recently resurfaced were hunkered down underneath Mount Weather. And in February 2006, a Newsweek article said:

One of the more disquieting questions to surface during congressional investigations into Hurricane Katrina concerns Mt. Weather, a huge government bunker under the Blue Ridge Mountains west of Washington, D.C.

... Known to government officials for many years as FEMA's "classified location," after the cold war ended Mt. Weather went semipublic, even hosting emergency-management seminars. But it also has remained a critical command post; in government jargon, Mt. Weather staffers are on duty 24/7/365. But according to an e-mail sent by former FEMA chief Michael Brown last Aug. 30, some Mt. Weather personnel were not exactly on the ball on the day after Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. "I am ready [sic] to blow up IT support at the mountain," Brown told aides Brooks Altshuler and Patrick Rhode. "They can't seem to get me connected ... or even care about getting me connected."

The article goes on with a quote from James Lee Witt saying that the Mount Weather personnel are some of the finest people he's ever worked with, and his saying that Mount Weather is a "'very important' center for government communications in a crisis." A spokesperson for FEMA said, in the article, that the communications issues Brownie experienced were minimal, but given interagency communications SNAFUs during responses to both September 11 and Katrina, it might be worth considering the possibility that the communications problems between Brownie and Mount Weather were large enough to cause problems in FEMA's Katrina response, and to entertain the notion that the FEMA spokesperson quoted in the article was doing a little whitewashing, as administration officials have been known to do.

If that isn't tin foily enough for you, there are plenty of articles that talk about the evils of FEMA. They aren't from mainstream sources, but some of them are worth a read. The last link there relates directly to Katrina and FEMA, and in it, you'll find references to the shadow government, which might actually be FEMA itself:

Many critics believe that FEMA is a “shadow government” that will take over at any time. Because it is given very little media attention and essentially has no congressional accountability, there is very little we know about the official workings of FEMA. One thing is sure, FEMA does more than just provide relief after a natural disaster. Two separate but not necessarily mutually exclusive situations surrounding FEMA provide a better understanding of their power and the threat they may pose to civil liberties during a national emergency. ... FEMA’s role at the facility is allegedly to establish a “back up government” in case of a national disaster. Supposedly there is also an Office of the Presidency at Mount Weather, which is appointed by FEMA and regularly receives top secret national security information from all Federal departments and agencies.

That may strike some as being a little too shiny-hatted, but if you'd told me seven years ago that we'd be talking about a sitting president who insists on holding prisoners with no official prisoner status, black prisons, torturing prisoners, spying on Americans without a warrant... well, I would have said that all sounded as suspect as there being a shadow government hiding beneath a mountain that houses what used to be a Cold War bunker.

From the same article:

The facility, for the most part, was a secret to everyone, including Congress, until a Senate Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights hearing in 1975. During this hearing, some minimal information about the various facilities surfaced, but the specifics of these facilities are still a secret. Senators were rebuffed in their quest for information about Mount Weather. For example, testifying before the Senate Subcommittee, Air Force General Leslie W. Bray said, “I am not at liberty to describe precisely what is the role and the mission and the capability that we have at Mount Weather, or at any other precise location.” Douglas Lea, subcommittee staff director, made these comments: “I don’t understand what they are trying to hide out there. Mount Weather is just closed up to us. I don’t believe there’s been any effective Congressional control over the system.” To this day, Congress still has no oversight, budgetary or otherwise, on the Mount Weather facility.

Well, you know, that sounds familiar. Congress without oversight? Hmmmm. Shall I pass you a roll of Reynolds so you can begin fashioning your own hat?

Someone posted on Randi Rhodes' message board with a quote from a conspiracy theory book with the following quote about FEMA:

"I believe the plan to suspend the Constitution is directly tied to the underground facility called Mount Weather and to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Mount Weather is so shrouded in secrecy that 99.9% of Americans have never heard of it. FEMA, however, is another story. Remember Hurricane Hugo? Remember the federal agency (FEMA) that was sent to handle the emergency and was thrown out by the citizens because of gross incompetence? FEMA was incompetent, because “emergency management” is just a guise for its real purpose, which is to take over local, state and federal government in case of a national emergency. The only way FEMA could do such a thing is if the Constitution were suspended and martial law were declared. Therefore its very existence is proof positive that a plan to suspend the Constitution does in fact exist."

You know, in the mid-nineties, it didn't occur to me to think that a president might try to subvert (or suspend) the Constitution, or might try to stay in power beyond his term. But these days, notions like that don't seem quite as out there as they used to, thanks to the way Bush has conducted himself since he came into office.

Of course, some of the sites connecting Mount Weather with the looming monster that is FEMA talk about the concentration camps that FEMA is building to intern people in the event of a... disaster or... emergency or... martial law or... fill in the blank. A number of the sites claiming that political dissidents will be locked up into FEMA/DHS-run camps aren't particularly trustworthy sources. Then again, the detention camps line of thought has found its way to dKos. Also here and here and here. And some posit that martial law might not be far away. Especially if the avian flu thing happens in a big way.

And, though I hate myself a little bit for wearing the foil hat here, given Bush's disdain for dissent and whistleblowers and his hatred of having to acknowledge the reality-based world outside his bubble, it wouldn't entirely surprise me if those stories about Halliburton building detention centers were true. And it wouldn't entirely surprise me if Bush tried to stick dissenters - Quakers and more volatile liberal types (like me) alike - into these places. After all, this is the man who goes out of his way to make certain that "enemy combatants" qualify neither as prisoners of war (subject to Geneva Conventions rules) or detainees of the American criminal system (subject to the Fifth Amendment).

Maybe the fact that the sources of such theories generally aren't given much credibility has as much to do with the failures of the traditional media in doing its job as it does with the fact that we - and Congress - simply do not know what the ultra-secretive Bush administration is up most of the time. I don't necessarily think that all the conspiracy theory sites should be dismissed without a second glance (though I try to steer clear of the anti-Freemason crowd and the UFO folk and similar); we call them loony, but I try to remember that, to the right wingers, we're all loonies, and our prescience about what would happen with the Iraq war is still ignored by the right wing as being crackpottery.

But let's leave off FEMA - as timely a subject as it is these days - and how it relates to Mount Weather. Hey, how 'bout we talk about that whole "Ignoring the Constitution" thing Bush does so well. I ran across a fascinating site called Political Friendster. And you know what? Mount Weather is hooked up with several politicians and other entities and entries. One is former California senator John Varick Tunney, who in 1975, according to this article,

charged that Mount Weather held dossiers on 100,000 or more Americans. A sophisticated computer system gives the installation access to detailed information on the lives of virtually every American citizen, Tunney claimed. Mount Weather personnel stonewalled question after question in two Senate hearings.

"I don't understand what they're trying to hide out there," Douglas Lea, staff director of the Senate Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights, said. "Mount Weather is just closed up to us." Tunney complained that Mount Weather was "out of control."

As it turns out, the Bush Terrorist Surveillance Program is also connected to Mount Weather on Political Friendster. Whaddaya reckon some of us have dossiers stored under the mountain there? We know the administration runs secret spying programs against its own citizens; we know the administration keeps lists - like the No-Fly list; we know the administration has a zillion and one secrets. There are any number of diaries here at dKos about the domestic spying program and more domestic spying that we didn't know about when we found out about the first domestic spying program. It's not just your garden-variety warrantless wiretapping, either. There's also datamining, like TIA. Where are they storing all this information they're collecting? Entirely possible you've got records stashed under Mount Weather. Or me. All of us. If not under Mount Weather, maybe under some other mountain in the Federal ARC. Anteon maintains the FEMA information management system at Mount Weather; do they have a secret contract to manage databases containing information about Americans, a kind of "black database" not unlike the "black prisons" in Eastern Europe?

There are several reasons I posted this entry. The first is that so many things in the Bush administration seem linked - the FEMA screw-ups, DHS folding FEMA into its ... cape? The NSA warrantless wiretapping and how-ever-many-other spying and "datamining" operations the administration is running. Those things all seem related, and I find myself wondering if the warrantless spying is part of the reason that the traditional media isn't making more hay of the news coming out of this administration, given what they did with Clinton's blowjob debacle. Are the 'journalists" being blackmailed? (Or are they just inserting themselves into the news the way Judy Miller did?) Is the spying related to why so many of our elected officials are rolling over for Bush? Have they been spied on and blackmailed?

Even if the media and politicians haven't been compromised by the spying, it still has so much bearing on so many other things that have been shown to be wrong with this criminal administration. The spying is related to John Bolton and the UN, which in turn is related to Plamegate and getting us into the Iraq debacle. At any rate, so much of what we know about the Bush administration - what we know to be factual - is related and interconnected.
