Is Microsoft Moving Too Fast Or Too
Slow? 05/03/2004 03:50 AM
Microsoft just can't win. After taking quite a beating (deservedly so) for their software's flaws, when they decide to stop pumping out new operating systems at the same rapid pace that caused many of those flaws, they get criticized for moving too slowly. It wasn't that long ago that similar articles were screaming for Microsoft to stop just releasing new operating systems every few years and, instead, focus on fixing what's already released. That's basically what they're trying to do (successfully or not), and the thanks they get are people trashing them for taking so long to get their next operating system out. I don't think there should be any rush for them to get Longhorn out, if they can actually get XP working better. People don't need to jump operating systems every two years.

I talked my way down Memory Lane

I talked my way down Memory Lane 06/05/2005 11:55 PM

Before I left for Ireland, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Halley Suitt for an audio series she does called Memory Lane. We spoke about everything from my trip to computer camp in fifth grade (NERD!!) to the founding of Pyra and the rise of blogging. It was a lot of fun speaking with Halley and I think it's one of the best interviews I've done, and by done I mean talked a lot while Halley gently nudged the conversation down interesting paths.

The whole thing is available here: Memory Lane interview with Meg Hourihan in various formats (Windows media, MP3, etc.). It goes about an hour and weighs in at 27MB. My favorite part is at the end, when I talk about bloggers not really being media consumers but more media regurgitaters. It's my new favorite way of describing what bloggers are doing these days.

Wan na buy a piece of your childhood? Sid & Marty Krofft were the creative minds behind a rash of trippy children's television programs in the 1970s (who can forget H.R. Pufnstuf, The Bugaloos,Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, Land of the Lost and many, many others?). Now they're auctioning off puppets, props and drawings from over three decades of their television shows. Who wouldn't want to own their own Sleestak?

Women prefer cats to men

Women prefer cats to men 03/17/2005 03:24 AM

After three weeks of hanging around like an unwelcome in-law, the filthy grey snow banks are finally melting here in Boston.  With the advent of warmth and sunshine I would have expected everyonealong Alex's Harvard Yard/Square dog walking route to be grinning with happiness.  Yet people did not seem any happier than usual.  To explain this phenomenon it is necessary to turn to TIME magazine's January 17, 2005 "The Science of Happiness" issue.  According to TIME, "sunny days [do not make us happy though] a 1998 study showed that Midwesterners think folks living in balmy California are happier and that Californians incorrectly believe this about themselves too."

Friends and family make people happy as does "contributing to the lives of others" (tough for folks in Vero Beach, FL given that it is tough to find anyone within a gated community facing a more important decision than whether to play golf or tennis).  When asked "do you often do any of the following to improve your mood?", TIME's own poll revealed that 38 percent of women checked off "playing with pet"; only 18 percent checked "have sex".  As the favored pet among America's ladies is the cat, from this we can conclude that cats are more satisfying to women than men are.

Kids Prefer Gadgets To Family

Kids Prefer Gadgets To Family 08/13/2004 05:45 AM
Remember when being "sent to your room" was punishment as a kid? Nowadays, with kids have computers, TVs, DVD players and mobile phones, they actually prefer being in their room than being out in the rest of the house with their families. Similar to the study we pointed to a few weeks ago about technol ogy killing the traditional road trip as kids wall themselves off in a digital cocoon, it appears kids would much rather be off alone watching TV, surfing the web and (most importantly) text messaging with their friends. While the article makes it sound like the technology is to blame, that's a weak excuse. The technology didn't put itself in the room and lock the kid up. Shouldn't the parents be somewhat responsible?
