Discarded Dreams...

Tyler wondered what it would mean if the revolution happened and there was no shift in consciousness...it had been about that when they were younger before the paranoia and fear and big egos took over....Zack smiled with satisfaction as the Ruby Kite tore themselves up with pettiness and lack of will...the big concepts for the boys lay by the roadside, scrapped dreams lying along with the other discarded debris...

12 Century African Drums

Tyler emulated the rock stars from the 21st century...it was a variant of the african drums handed down from the 12 century...

Content Poacher...

Tyler Sid was a content poacher; that is he resampled Zack Smiter's content to give it a new meaning...

Electronic Image...

Zack created an age in which the electronic image, endowed with the ability to manufactured its own reality which hurled the coutnry into a state of collective self-delusion. It was a brave new post-literate world where peopled confuse how they are made to feel with knowledge.

DOS Attack...

Tyler detected Zack's network was vulnerable to a DOS attack...

Lists...

“In several cases, the hacker imported their own lists, and managed to send spam to those lists and in some cases the lists already in the account.”

Koobace...

Tyler aimed to infilitrate Zack's network with the Koobface worm...he set up a fake landing page for the DMV and when users came there they were prompted to download a flash player...it was here that the worm got in...

DDoS attack

Tyler was aiming to take down Zack's network with a new approach....a DDoS attack...the goal of any Denial of Service is to take out a specific online resource and make it unavailable to its users...DDoS attacks often involve sending a flood of external communication requests to the site that at first glance may appear just like legitimate traffic. The intent is to overwhelm the service’s resources to such a degree that it can’t respond to real requests for real users, effectively rendering the site unreachable or so slow to respond as to be impossible to use for some period of time.

Dope

If we swap dope for derivatives there wouldn’t be a Wall Street because they would be behind bars. If we prosecute derivatives the same way you prosecute dope, which is not different in how it undermines a family, Wall Street wouldn’t exist...The only difference between the world of high finance and drug dealers are the commodities they deal,”Tyler added. “The mentality is the same.” We sustain with taxpayer dollars a power elite and oligarchy that is responsible for dismantling the manufacturing base and social service programs which once gave workers and their families hope.

Democratic Process....

Zack Smiter cunningly invoked the “democratic process”— to cover his system of taking bribes...the radio dream aimed to bring the nature of the American plutocracy fully to light.

Shadows...

realities are sequestered to the shadows, but maintain an equally pernicious grip on the respective government and society.

Brand evangelist...

The Flow of Media

The Radio Dream is a system that lets you see the flow of the media. The Radio Dream is fundamentally altering the way that news is produced and distributed,

Opening content...

The Radio Dream continues to support the argument that organizations need to open up more of their content for users.

Hijack...

Tyler aimed to infiltrate Zack's network, so he could set up a secret eavesdropping post and capture credit card numbers, passwords and other sensitive data flowing between computers on that network and sites their browsers have deemed safe.

In an even more nefarious plot, Tyler could hijack the auto-update feature on a victim's computer, and trick it into automatically installing malware pulled in from a hacker's Web site. The computer would think it's an update coming from the software manufacturer.

Native American View

Tyler Sid had a native american view of reality...his dream of the radio dream was to restore the individual's relationship with nature...

Myth making...

Both Zack Smiter and Tyler Sid were always busy myth making...

Into a state of illusion...

the radio dream chronicles our terrifying flight as a culture into a state of illusion. Zack used an array of mechanisms used to divert us from confronting the economic, political and moral collapse around us. It confronted the childish idea that we can always prevail, that reality is never an impediment to what we want, is the central motif of illusion peddled on popular talk shows, by the Christian Right, by Hollywood, in corporate retreats, by the news industry and by self-help gurus. Reality can always be overcome. Zack hired the best production team to skillfully manufacture images and slogans to flood the airwaves and infect the political discourse mask reality.

the conversation....

the radio dream is about letting people be part of the conversation, and letting them tell stories themselves.
