I'm a bit of a reluctant tourist. I enjoy the work I do, the music
I'm lucky enough to perform and create and I live in San Francisco,
which is an endlessly entertaining city.
Nonetheless, I find myself here in Hong Kong International Airport en
route to Vietnam and, it's to be hoped, that my narrower points of
experience will be broadened.
My first bit of adjustment. It ...

Mobile and I
"A new generation of mobile users are becoming so emotionally
attached to their phones that they cannot live without them.
This is one of the key findings of a study into how people use
their mobile phones entitled Me, My Mobile and I.
The annual study from research firm Teleconomy reveals that 10 to
14-year-olds - dubbed M-Agers - are rapidly becoming the most
sophisticated users of phones.
Even toddlers are able to tell the difference between incoming
phone calls and text messages said Professor Michael Hulme, chairman
of Teleconomy....
'They are growing up ready to take on these services,' said Prof
Hulme....
Phones are rapidly replacing address books, diaries, watches and
alarm clocks as people turn increasingly to their handsets to help
manage their lives." [BBC News,

y.org]
An admittedly small study group, but the findings are well
supported elsewhere. The two killer statistics, though - and the ones
to which libraries need to pay particular attention - are that
"32% see phone as tool rather than intimate object"
and "85% of children had personalised phones."
It's not like these things are going away, you know.

Rumor Today: New iPods Tomorrow
Rumor Today: New iPods Tomorrow

Edmonton today; Yellowknife tomorrow
Edmonton today; Yellowknife tomorrow
06/22/2005 02:22 AMQuick trip update for friends and family... The trip to
Edmonton was uneventful except for some strong headwinds in flight
(almost 40 knots) and gusty surface winds (20 knots gusting 25 was
typical for most of the landings from Winnipeg and onward). Jeff
Foster, the Cirrus authorized service guy here in Edmonton, turned out
to be quite the craftsman like a lot of aviation mechanics. The
plane seems to be holding up very nicely after 60 hours on the
clock.
The weather forecast for the next couple of days is pretty good so
Alex and I should be able to make it to Yellowknife and Inuvik as
planned. I booked the last dog-friendly room in Yellowknife a
few hours ago and if we can't find one in Inuvik we'll just pitch the
tent next to the airplane and eat granola bars (if living out of one's
car is a badge of honorable poverty among singer/songwriters what can
one say about living out of an airplane?).
Nearly everyone in Canada has asked about Alex. Aside from
the dog-curiosity the main difference between a Canadian city and a
U.S. city seems to be that the Canadians have groups of working-age
men hanging around downtown. Unlike the U.S. the Canadians have
a welfare system for men of working age and furthermore that
welfare system has no time limits. So a lot of guys choose to
let others pick up the slack while they hang with their buddies and
drink beer.
Aviation here is fairly similar to the U.S. but slightly less
formal and much less busy. One can listen to an MP3 track all
the way through on a Center frequency before being interrupted by a
radio call from an airliner checking in. At the aviation
museum here in Edmonton one of the guides talked about how crazy busy
the Edmonton airport was during WWII when they were doing training
here and also ferrying 8000 planes over to the Russians. "We had
850 operations [takeoffs and landings] one day during the peak!" he
noted. For comparison Logan airport in Boston has 2000
operations per day and Teterboro, NJ, a NYC-area airport for private
planes, has nearly 600 per day.
I will be spending the rest of the night spraying permethrin into
my clothing to repel the mosquitoes and other nasty bugs up there in
the NWT.

mud hut before dinnertime and begins whacking at the base of a
struggling young tree. ? A cornfield lies nearby, every stalk stunted
and barren. A coffee bush wilts in a patch of earth so dry that each
footstep kicks up a puff of gray dust. ? Roots and stems from the
false banana tree — so named because it never bears fruit
— are all there is for dinner today. Batire will pound them into
a pulpy mush that offers little real nutrition but at least will quiet
the hunger of her husband and seven children. ...

vably misbegotten Broadcast Treaty, an Orwellian masterwork that
makes the DMCA look like junior-high playground strong-arming.
The high point (other than working with the amazing coalition of
activists that Jamie Love and the Civil Society Coalition have
gathered here) was the utterly bizarre self-papering toilets in the
WIPO building. I was so taken by these things that I had to shoot a
movie -- I knew I could never describe them adequately with words

This isn't particularly new—in fact, it could be as old
as the hills, if the hills were made in the '90s. But there has never
been a fancy Japanese toilet control panel I haven't enjoyed looking
at and this is certainly no exception. Even better, it's just a small
excerpt from a fantastic article on Wikipedia that details more about
Japanese toilets and their Number 2 cultural obsession than any one
person really needs to know.
