Here There Be Monsters

Thomas L. Friedman, award winning NY Times columnist and author of The Lexus and the Olive Tree, Longitudes and Attitudes, and From Beirut to Jerusalem, will publish his fourth book, The World is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century, this week. An article adopted from the book, "Itâ €™s a Flat World After All", was printed in the NY Times Magazine today:

In 1492 Christopher Columbus set sail for India, going west. He had the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria. He never did find India, but he called the people he met 'Indians' and came home and reported to his king and queen: 'The world is round.' I set off for India 512 years later. I knew just which direction I was going. I went east. I had Lufthansa business class, and I came home and reported only to my wife and only in a whisper: 'The world is flat.'

Dinosaurs, mammals, whatever. 04/09/2004 04:11 PM
Sunday dawned windy and cold, a good day to spend a couple of hours at the Natural History Museum. As I walked through the Hall of Advanced Mammals, navigating through crowds of presumably more advanced mammals, two women leading a gaggle of uninterested children passed by me. One of the women started chastising the children in that ridiculous singsong voice that parents use with kids to induce guilt (which seldom...

Reuters - An asteroid may have wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago not simply by changing the world's climate and causing years of dark skies, but also by causing too many of them to be born male.

Off Dinosaurs 12/30/2003 02:48 PM
A bit more evidence that FCC chair Michael Powell actually does know what he's talking about. The San Jose Mercury News is posting some quotes from his recent visit to Silicon Valley that suggest he understands many of the bigger issues facing the FCC these days and isn't (as some have suggested) looking to regulate everything. On access into the home, he says: "We don't want one pipe. We're doing everything we can to incent the free-radical opportunities for multiple routes to the home. So when you look at FCC proceedings, that's where there's so much energy going into WiFi, and ultra-wideband and powerline broadband and laser optics and free-space optics and other policies that encourage and incent the creation of alternate digital platforms." He even says that trying to regulate a company like Vonage is the same as killing them. He also, explicitly, realizes the very important separation of the platform from the application and realizes the ramifications of that: "And that's why if you're the music industry, you're scared. And if you're the television studio, movie industry, you're scared. And if you're an incumbent infrastructure carrier, you'd better be scared. Because this application separation is the most important paradigm shift in the history of communications, and will change things forever.... I have no problem if a big and venerable company no longer exists tomorrow, as long as that value is transferred somewhere else in the economy." Of course, those big companies have lots of lobbyists and friends in high places who are going to try to make Powell's job more difficult. What he needs to do is to convince them that, in moving forward, there are even more opportunities to make money.

Mating Dinosaurs, crashed 'puters and
"virus' galore" 02/01/2005 08:42 PM

Special thanks to the script kiddies who've decided to make me misreable with over 50 virus' coming at me - at a time. And woe be it to the poor slob who's repair shop forgets to put the screwws back in the internal hard drive.

So all in all - Jan. 2005 was my lightest month of blogging - like ever. I think I offended Jason Kottke at some Vloggercon party, my clients are starting to get cranky and my kids finally got their birthday presents - which I had promised them back in November at their Bar Mitzvah.

The good news is that Carl is back, he's married and we're ready to rock the world.

First up - ourmedia.org.

It was great to see Greg Elin in NYC at Vloggercon and Mary Hodder at both Vloggercon and Blog Business Summit.

I also upgraded to MR 3.15 - but swtill no WYSIWYG editing. Anil promised something - but now I can't remember when we get it. He also said I get to come in and pitch open source infrastructure ideas to 6A - I can't wait.

They always seemed like the most likely candidates for becoming a DLA company - and supporting all sorts of new kinds of micro-content standards.

I have my fingers crossed on that one.
