New Municipal Reports Debunk Network
Failures
New Municipal Reports Debunk Network
Failures
04/11/2005 01:03 PM Remember how the anti-municipal sock puppets and ideologues keep
citing the same failures? They're not failures. In fact, they're
generally successes. You hear Tacoma, Wash.; Ashland, Ore.; Braintree,
Mass.; Marietta, Georgia; and others bandied about as failures that
have drained taxpayer inputs and failed to live up to their financial
projects. As I discovered when starting down the research path on this
two months ago, those networks are successes: the numbers that "prove"
their failure are typically cherrypicked from early construction
stages or even take numbers that were planning figures and weren't
used during the approval stages by voters, city councils, or boards of
directors. The people at Free Press have released a comprehensive
report, "Telco Lies and the Truth about Municipal Broadband Networks,"
(PDF) that includes the first-hand research that the authors of the
reports that declare these networks failures never did. The Beacon
Hill Institute report last spring, for instance, cites a number of
cases using newspaper article, defunct Web sites, and early projects
and apparently never actually spoke to the network operators about
details. (I take the report apart in a post a few weeks ago.) All
academics will tell you that primary sources are how you do it. If you
talk to a primary source and they have publicly available
documentation to back up what they say, then you can confirm or reject
the contentions of that primary source. You can bring in other primary
sources who have opposing views and facts. But if you rely on second
or third hand reports, you will invariably produce conclusions that
are poorly founded. The Free Press counters the misinformation that's
been provided in two ways: first, by showing the fruit of the poisoned
tree, a several-year-old report that gets cited today as if the
information is contemporary (and it was bad back then, too); and,
second, by using primary sources to show how each of these networks is
producing the kinds of financial results that should encourage this
sort of local development. A second report, "Connecting People: The
Truth about Municipal Broadband," (PDF) handles the arguments about
whether municipal networks improperly take the role of private
enterprise in a new and unique way and suck the revenue and
development that comes from private infrastructure into a municipal
maw. This report also tries to address misinformation about the way in
which these networks operator, historical antecedents about
municipal...

The Notebooks of Leonardo Da
Vinci
Day-by-day Da Vinci. Read the pages of the Notebooks by
RSS, one at a time. (Credits.)
I want to read the Notebooks, but there are 1,565 pages and I have
too much else to read.
At a page a day it would take a little over four years, but be
manageable.
Fortunately Project
Gutenberg (who make freely available online out-of-copyright
books) has created a text version of the Notebooks of Leonardo Da
Vinci. You can download
it. It lacks the illustrations of the original, but it's Good
Enough.
Using this site, I can read one page a day using my RSS News
Reader. Find an RSS News Reader. I started at page 1 on May
30th, 2004. I'm now on page 10. You can either read along with me, or
start reading at page 1 today.
Subscribe to one of the following two feeds (copy and paste the URL
into your Reader):
¨ Start reading today (starts at page 1): http

¨ Read with me (starts at page 10): http
://interconnected.org/home/more/davinci/2004-05-30.rss
Whichever feed you choose, the fifteen most recent pages are shown
(so you can get a little behind and still catch up).
To see what you're getting yourself into, read page 1
now, or a random
page.

07/03/2004 01:40 PM
Today's New York Times has a feature about
how Italian scientists built a working model of "L'automobile di
Leonard da Vinci," a self-propelled vehicle powered by a motor made of
coiled springs. Pushing the machine backwards or turning the wheels
counterclockwise would wind up the motors like a toy car that you pull
back and then release. The car has no seats and was designed as a
special effects prop for a theatrical production. It's currently on
display at the
Institute and Museum
for the History of Science in Florence.
"While a scale model of the Da Vinci-mobile has been
observed... to move, change direction, start and stop - thus proving
that the design works - the full-size model weighing hundreds of
pounds is seen, even by its own builders, as too hazardous to set
loose on an unsuspecting public."

Rebuilt Da Vinci Self-Propelled Wagon
Rebuilt Da Vinci Self-Propelled Wagon
07/03/2004 11:36 AM
The Times has a
great article about a modern-day recreation of a design by Leonardo Da
Vinci -- a three-wheeled wagon that may not only have been the world's
first self-propelled vehicle, but possibly one of the first computers.
Powered by a wound spring, tensed by pushing the wagon backwards, the
range of the device -- which has been rebuilt for the Leonardo museum
and library in Vinci, Italy -- was only about 40 yards. Not enough for
a trip to the trip to the store, but enough, perhaps, to move a prop
across a stage by itself.
