From The War on Terra "You’d think with both the Iraq and
Afghanistan wars well under way and with the war on terrorism being
more than two years old that the share price of any bullet proof vest
manufacturer would be fully valued. Not so!
The company that manufactures the amazing life saving bullet proof
vests that Sgt. Travis L. McKinney wrote to from the Iraq front line
is not only undervalued but is a screaming takeover candidate that is
poised to enjoy an up to 450% increase in its stock price."

Chinese Standing Up
Chinese Standing Up
04/02/2005 01:52 PMWhen the Chinese Civil War ended in 1949, Mao Zedong famously said
“China has stood up.” While it took another forty years to get
started, the recent economic explosion has been a world-changer. But
that story isn’t over; there’s
a remarkable piece in the NY Times this morning outlining
how the Chinese are doing a bit of standing up on their own,
economically. They’re walking away from those “cheap labour”
manufacturing jobs that have served as one of the main economic
drivers of the last couple of decades. At the end of the day, cheap
labour doesn’t stay cheap. And while there are probably some more
“cheap labour” places for businesses to move—India, Africa—the
consequences for China have to be profound. And I can see the day
coming, maybe not in my lifetime but not that much further out, when
the whole notion of moving businesses around the world so you can pay
people less has become, finally, self-defeating. What happens then?

06/23/2004 05:12 PMLike some other well-known bloggers before her,
Chris Nolan is working on
turning her blog into more of a
revenue-generati
ng business. I like Chris's stuff, even as I sometimes disagree
with it, because it's sharp and unpredictable and rooted in her years
of experience as a reporter, and so I wish her well in her efforts to
sell ads and subscriptions.
Lord knows it's not an easy road. Reading Chris's manifesto for
"Stand-Alone Journalism" -- she argues that's a better label for what
she does than "blogging" -- brought me back to some distant memories
from the dawn of the Web. After learning HTML and participating in the
San Franciso Free Press experiment,
I thought to myself, hey, there's nothing to stop me from starting my
own publication on the Web!
So I did. In January 1995 I took a week's vacation time from my job
at the SF Examiner and published a site. I focused on what was then
quaintly known as "multimedia"; I called it Kludge, as a nod to its
essential clumsiness and improvised nature, and I posted an issue.
This was years before personal content management software, needless
to say; it's all just cruddy hand-coded HTML and crude self-designed
graphics. But the articles weren't so bad (hey, here's an interview with Marc
Canter! Here's a satirical take on
the CD-ROM explosion/implosion!).
What I quickly realized was that, as much fun as writing, editing
and designing all that material was -- bringing me back as it did to
my teenage roots in mimeograph publishing -- it was just the beginning
of getting a Web site going. If I was serious about making it
something more than a labor of love -- if I wasn't going to do all
that work on my vacation days -- I'd need to figure out how to get
people to visit the site, and how to sell ads, and so forth. My best
efforts involved dumping a pile of flyers in the lobby of a multimedia
conference at Moscone Center. (While I was doing that, a couple of
guys named Jerry Yang and Dave Filo stood at a booth under a big Yahoo
banner, giving away T-shirts.)
After briefly toying with the notion of applying to AOL's
Greenhouse program for funding, I thought, nah. When David Talbot
started talking about a new publication he wanted to create, I helped
persuade him that he should do it on the Web instead of in print.
Salon turned out to be a great place for me to write and edit and
build Web sites without having to wear all the hats myself (though
there have certainly been times during the last decade when my pate
has felt a little crowded).
Today, would-be "Stand-Alone Journalists" can rely on much better
software tools to create and publish their work. They can plug into
far better organized online networks to spread the word of their
activities. And they can even turn to simple plug-in approaches to
advertising, like AdWords or BlogAds, to try to bring in some cash.
But being a "Stand-Alone Journalist" still requires a combination of
journalistic and entrepreneurial traits that's rare. Being a good
journalist requires the ability to not mind pissing people off
sometimes (Nolan, whose career has had its share of controversy, is no shirker in this regard); being a
good entrepreneur demands the ability to charm people as often as
possible. Both pursuits, of course, demand persistence, patience,
and, in the face of indifference, a stubborn belief in the value of
one's undertaking.
When I read Nolan's proposed label for the solo-blogger-journalist,
the first thing that popped into my mind was the famous quote from
Ibsen's Dr. Stockman in "Enemy of the People": "The strongest man in
the world is the one who stands most alone." Standing alone has many
wonderful advantages -- it's a stirring posture. But remember what
happens to old Dr. Stockman: He is right to blow the whistle about the
polluting of his town's waters, but he's dreadfully naive about the
world around him, he's ultimately ineffective, and he fails to
accomplish much besides his own martyrdom.
So I'm not sure the "Stand-Alone Journalist" label is one that will
stick. The linked nature of the Web is ultimately even more important
than the independence of the blogger. Standing alone is useless
without being connected.

More from Shachtman on Los Alamos: "The
Last Man Standing"
03/13/2003 10:24 AMNoah Schachtman of Defense Tech tells BoingBoing: "My latest article
on the Los Alamos scandals focuses in on Frank Dickson --
the "last man standing" among the accused in the lab's senior
management."
"Give Frank Dickson, general counsel of the beleaguered Los Alamos
National Laboratory, some credit: He's a survivor.
"Allegations of discrimination and espionage in the 1990s swallowed
up a generation of lab-management staff; Dickson remained.
Accusations of corruption and mismanagement have forced his bosses to
resign and his subordinates to relinquish their responsibilities;
Dickson hung on.
"Now, the nuclear weapons lab's new director has proclaimed that he's
ready to "drain the swamp" and give it a fresh start. But Dickson,
singled out by Los Alamos whistleblowers for repeatedly interfering
with FBI investigations into lab shenanigans, clings to power -- for
now...

07/15/2004 12:14 PMI was looking at the ACME schedule for the rest of the year, and if
I'm in both Zebra and ACME Main company, I'll pretty much be living
down at the theatre. I'm conflicted about that, because I've really
grown accustomed to working from home, and hanging out with my family
whenever I want. On the other hand, some of the happiest times and
best performances of my acting life have been in that theatre . . .
and performing twice a week will certainly give me something
interesting to write about on a more regular basis.
I'll be on The David Lawrence Show again tonight, to talk about
Just A Geek. When I was there for
Dancing Barefoot,
David and I used the entire three hours, so we just planned on that
for tonight. It's 7-10 Pacific time, and all the listening details are

09/10/2004 08:14 PMDan Rather appeared miffed that he even had to spend five minutes of

none-too-surprising counterattack led by partisan operatives against
his
60 Minutes segment on Wednesday about Bush's Guard service.
Putting the whole superscript frenzy into perspective, Rather recapped
the central points of his piece: Did Ben Barnes use his influence to
get Bush into the Guard? Did Bush refuse a direct order from his
commanding officer? Was he suspended for failing to perform? Did he
take his physical as ordered, and if not, why not? And did Bush
complete his commitment to the Guard?

Leaked docs show the CEA standing up
(finally) to the RIAA
05/24/2004 04:00 PMThe RIAA is arm-twisting the FCC over a "broadcast flag" for digital
radio, to keep you from recording and saving digital radio broadcasts.
They're trying to get the Consumer Electronics people -- who sold us
all out in the digital TV Broadcast Flag fight -- to play along, but
this time around, the CEA has grown a spine and is pushing back. JD
Lasica wrote a
piece for
Mindjack on this, but more interesting is the leaked correspondance
between
the RIAA and
the CEA, in which the CEA
tears the RIAA a new one over the unbelievable, suicidal stupidity of
restricting the ability of end-users to record digital radio signals.
You state that you do not wish to limit the ability of consumers to
record over-the-air radio broadcasts. Instead, you apparently want to
force them to buy what they have received for free since Fleming and
Marconi first made it possible for consumers to hear news and music
over the public airwaves. As you know, we have long been concerned
about content owners seeking to change the 'play' button on our
devices to a 'pay' button.
(
Thanks, JD and Donald!)
