J. Robert Oppenheimer, a "productive
dilettante" 04/13/2005 11:46 AM
He was fond of reading Proust and Dostoevsky. He studied the Bhagavad Gita in Sanskrit, painted landscapes in oil, and flirted with Marxism. His mannerisms -- such as saying "Gee!" when pondering some scientific marvel -- were contagious. And when the US government decided to incinerate hundreds of thousands of fishermen, housewives, cooks, potters, and Zen monks as a decisive blow for peace in 1945, he told the commanding officers on the mission, "Don't let them detonate it too high . . . or the target won't get as much damage." He was J. Robert Oppenheimer, the mild-mannered destroyer of worlds who led the Manhattan Project, portrayed in a new biography called American Prometheus.

Dalí Centennial

Dalí Centennial 06/13/2004 04:54 PM

Salvador Dalí, were he still alive, would be 100 years old this year. There is an anniversary exhibit until the end of June at the Vanha Satama in Helsinki of some of his works which, if you admire his work, will be very appealing. I managed to get a free pass for 2 at the Helsinki tourism office when I noticed the passes sitting next to the brochure for the show, so if you want to save yourself 10 or 20 euro, a stop by the tourism office is a good idea. The exhibit has a lovely mixture of lithographs, sculptures and tapestries, including the Gargantua and Pantagruel series which is really clever and brilliant if you're familiar with the book. However, all of the works are for sale, so if you think that paying 10 euro for a high-end museum cum art gallery of reproductions is a bit much, you're probably right. Get a free pass or just visit some of the local galleries who seem to always have Dalí artwork for sale and, as far as I know, don't charge you to browse. Of course, if you have 444,000 euro burning a hole in your pocket, you can purchase the above sculpture and not really dither over the entrance fee. :)

The subway centennial

The subway centennial 05/04/2004 03:11 PM

You have until the end of the year to check out the New York Public Library's exhibit, The Subway at 100: General William Barclay Parsons and the Birth of the NYC Subway, but why wait?

Celebrating the centennial of the opening of the New York City subway system in 1904, this exhibition both salutes William Barclay Parsons, the first chief engineer of the subway, and recognizes the importance of the subway system to the life and growth of the city.

Sounds great, and since the subway is one of my favorite things about New York City, I'm keen to learn more about its construction and history. I'm adding this exhibit to my to-do list.

Robert Creeley (1926-2005)

Robert Creeley (1926-2005) 03/30/2005 09:15 PM
Robert Creeley, one of the most exquisite and influential poets of our era, died this morning at age 78. I'd link to a story, but it's not in the news yet. This is a note from one of Robert's friends: "American poet Robert Creeley passed away this morning at 6:15 am in Odessa, Texas, where he was fulfilling a Residency at the Lannan Foundation. (Mr. Creeley was a recipient of the Lannan Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award.) His wife of twenty-eight years, Penelope, and son Will and daughter Hannah were at his side. The cause of death was complications from respiratory disease." Though a comrade and muse for Beat Generation writers like Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac, Creeley was much less well-known, and had a style rather unlike theirs, distinguished by extreme economy of words and an understated approach toward emotion. Creeley was often cited as a pioneer by the so-called language poets, and his most creatively generative friendship was with another poet's poet, the late Charles Olson. Creeley's subtlety and balance will be missed.

Mike and Robert 05/20/2004 05:34 PM

I met some folks yesterday whom I haven't seen for a long time: Peter Yared, whom I worked with at NetDynamics, and Mike Boich, whom I worked for at Radius.  Peter Yared was CTO of Sun's Liberty division and Mike, founded and headed Radius, Rendition, and Eazel.  He is now a VC at Alta Partners where Robert Simon, a long time friend, also works.

I forgot to take Peter's picture but here is Mike and Robert.

Robert Kennedy, Jr.

Robert Kennedy, Jr. 11/25/2003 08:39 PM

Robert Kennedy, Jr. - Interviewed at Salon.com...

I remember where I was when THEY killed his uncle.I was a freshman at the University, playing chss in the student union, and I distanced myself from the horror by declaring "That's politics."  I dropped out of school and went to San Francisco a few months later.  I read Ayn Rand, drank chianti, ate bread and cheese, hung out in North Beach, and later in the year I hung around the edges of the Republican convention, celebrity spotting.  I was appalled by Goldwater's nomination.Even then, before the CO and CO2 had risen to levels that threaten human survival, I was pretty well convinced that nuking the DMZ would be a bad thing for the enbvironment and every living thing on the planet.  I wasn't yet 21 so I wasn't faced with the choice of voting for Johnson (who many of us suspected had a hand in the dirty deed on 11/22/63) and voting for Goldwater (who many of us believed was crazy as a loon).

I don't remember where I was on April 4, 1968 when THEY killed Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.I was in school, I know.  Two months later when THEY killed Robert Kennedy the whole thing was at such a bizarre level that reality was suspect.  And I watched and I protested and I made loud ineffective noises.  There were optimists among us who went "clean for Gene" McCarthy. It was a lost cause. 

From the day after King's death through the end of 1969,  the Black Panther Party was decimated by the FBI.  There was no effective news coverage of the events.  It wasn't until the National Guard killed white students at Kent State in the spring of 1970 that our national consciousness began to shift.  And even then, people were reluctant to call Richard Nixon a liar. 

We were saturated in the truth and nobody would print it.  Today, conditions are a lot worse.  Robert Kennedy, Jr. is doing what he can on the environmental front.  Here's some of what he has to day in the Salon.com interview: 

Why isn't the media being more of a watchdog...

The consolidation of American media over the past decade or so has dramatically diminished the inquisitiveness of our national press. There are now only 11 companies that control virtually every radio outlet, every TV outlet and every newspaper in our country. And because of that media consolidation, the news bureaus are no longer run by newspeople. They are now corporate profit centers. Most of these companies have liquidated their foreign bureaus, because they're expensive to run. That's why you can't get foreign news in this country; you have to go to the BBC. And they've liquidated their investigative journalism units, because that kind of reporting is also expensive. So news has become the lowest common denominator, which is why you see sensational crime coverage, you see Laci Peterson and Kobe Bryant all the time, you see celebrity gossip, which is really just a form of pornography. And you see murders, which is really just another form of pornography. You just see notorious crimes, and you don't really see much substantive news anymore.

The Tyndall Report, which is the service that analyzes what's on TV, recently surveyed the environmental content on TV news and of the 15,000 minutes of network news that aired last year only 4 percent of them were devoted to the environment. And this is at a time when we have a president who is dismantling 30 years of environmental law, and when we are going through a global environmental crisis, including mass extinctions comparable to the disappearance of the dinosaurs. Global fisheries have dropped to 10 percent of their 1950s levels, the ice caps and glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, and one out of every four black children in New York has asthma.

Today, while hundreds of thousands of britons protested the presence of George W. Bush, American media focused all its bandwidth on Michael Jackson.

Robert Crumb -- The Master

Robert Crumb -- The Master 03/31/2005 12:10 PM
The Guardian has created an entire section on their web site dedicated to Robert Crumb, everyone's most loved/hated cartoonist and the star of Terry Zwigoff's amazing 1994 documentary "Crumb." Its well worth a look.

Interviewer: What are the purposes of satire? Crumb: To give us all relief from these taboos and these nervous tensions where things can't be talked about. So humor and satire are a safety valve for releasing these nervous tensions. But there's such a thing as cruel humor. A lot of old time humor is based on making fun of some ethnic group - it's not so funny for us any more.

And in case you're in the dark on who R. Crumb is, try this.

Robert X. Cringely on Palladium

Robert X. Cringely on Palladium 07/02/2002 01:44 AM
This week, Microsoft announced Palladium through an exclusive story in Newsweek written by Steven Levy, who ought to have known better. Palladium is the code name for a Microsoft project to make all Internet communication safer by essentially pasting a digital certificate on every application, message, byte, and machine on the Net, then encrypting the data EVEN INSIDE YOUR COMPUTER PROCESSOR. Palladium compatible hardware (presumably chipsets and motherboards) will come from both AMD and Intel, and the software will, of course, come from Microsoft. That software is what I had dubbed TCP/MS.

The point of all this is simple. It may actually make the Internet somewhat safer. But the real purpose of this stuff, I fear, is to take technology owned by nobody (TCP/IP) and replace it with technology owned by Redmond. That's taking the Internet and turning it into MSN. Oh, and we'll all have to buy new computers.
