Shanghaied in Portland
Shanghaied in Portland
06/30/2004 10:55 AMMy
post about CIncinnati's abandoned subway reminded BB reader Colin
Sheridan of Portland's Shanghai tunnels. During the 19th century, this
was the real underbelly of the city. Sailors would get drunk, drugged,
and dragged through the underground tunnels to the port where they'd
be sold to a ship captain as slave labor. By the time the poor saps
awoke, they were already at sea. These days, tours are available and,
of course, there's even a
Shanghai
Tunnel bar.

Portland Airport Gets Free Wi-Fi
07/28/2004 09:53 PMNigel Ballard of Personal Telco reports that Portland International
Airport will have free Wi-Fi: Ballard told an audience at a meeting of
the community wireless group this evening that the Port of Portland
will turn on 25 access points by Oct. 1 to offer free service at gates
and check-in areas. They're committed to covering the cost of
operation for the first year, and then re-evaluating whether fees
would be added. Ballard is part of the Portland Telecommunications
Steering Committee, and an active community networker and commercial
infrastructure builder....
Portland Continues Wi-Fi Push
Portland Continues Wi-Fi Push
11/11/2003 03:11 PMThe Portland Business Journal has another long article about the city
of Portland’s plans to attract Wi-Fi networks and Wi-Fi companies: The
Portland Telecommunications Steering Committee, a group of city
government and business leaders pushing Wi-Fi in Portland, hope that a
Wi-Fi cloud will cover not just downtown but the outlying suburbs. An
Intel exec is part of the group and Nigel Ballard hopes that Intel
Capital might encourage some of the wireless startups it funds to
relocate to Portland. Portland has been really ambitious in its
encouragement of Wi-Fi and I hope it spells success for the city. In
typical Portland fashion, the leaders hope to use Wi-Fi to bring more
business to the city but only as far as that can benefit citizens--the
leaders almost always talk about ensuring some degree of free access
on the Wi-Fi networks....
The Portland Pattern Repository
The Portland Pattern Repository
12/25/2004 05:30 PMCunningham & Cunningham, Inc.: This is
apparently the first wiki ever produced — the wiki seed from
which all others grew, if you will. It's also known as the Portland
Pattern Repository.
It's kind of the oracle of all things wiki. There are pages on wiki
and Extreme
Programming philosophy, like the theories of Wabi Sabi (something all
developers would use more of), Once and Only Once,
and the Open
Closed Principle.
It's very long on theory and a bit shorter on practical programming
techniques, but still very much worth browsing from time to time. Go
there for a dose of The Big Picture every once in a while.

Portland Network Receives Grant for
Multiple Radio Unit Project
04/19/2004 07:01 PMNorthwest Academic Computing Consortium (NWACC) provides grant to
pilot project to build mesh/backhaul/longhaul box: The project is
backed by the Portland Research and Education Network (PREN) which is
working with JoeJava's Nigel Ballard to develop the MRU. This grant
brings their total research money to $30,000, which is enough to build
out and test a significant network. There are many facets to the idea,
which combines three radios: a WiMax one for long-haul (currently
being provided in a similar-but-pre-WiMax state), one for mesh
backhaul among devices using 802.11a, and one that supports 802.11b/g
for local client access. Nigel's goal is a self-contained
environmentally protected NEMA4 case...fed by internal deep-cycle
batteries, a photovoltaic solar panel, with the main feed being AC
power. Ideally, this could become the way in which the less-developed
world unwires itself for data, voice, and media....

Eugene, Oregon, Wants Downtown Wi-Fi
Eugene, Oregon, Wants Downtown Wi-Fi
03/27/2005 06:15 PM
The city's daily newspaper urges Wi-Fi
rollout: I grew up in Eugene. This is a fairly
conservative paper in a pretty liberal town. And there's no
sock-puppet talk here. Just a concern about keeping Eugene, a kind of
island in the middle of the state with a large liberal-arts
university, on track to keep the economy humming. They don't suggest
city-wide Wi-Fi, but downtown Wi-Fi for free, which is a good starting
place to understand usage.
Eugene's downtown used to be cited by city planners because in the
1960s, they converted from a street-based downtown to a
pedestrian-only one. Streets were paved over. Remarkably, shoppers and
businesses slowly fled downtown into surrounding areas and the Valley
River Center Mall a few miles away on the other side of the Willamette
River. A few years ago, the pedestrian mall was ripped out and life
has slowly returned to downtown.
Oregon Gets Biggest Hotspot
Oregon Gets Biggest Hotspot
02/10/2004 02:40 AMIt's always worrisome to qualify networks as the "biggest" but in this
case I'd bet that eastern Oregon really does have the biggest hotspot
in the country: Yesterday, Boardman and Hermiston, Ore. turned on a
600-square-mile hotspot. The network came about through a
public/private initiative and was built by EZ Wireless. The network
will be used by the Morrow County Emergency Management and Chemical
Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program, the police force, and
citizens. Initially, it will cover 600 square miles which includes
four counties and seven cities, some in Washington. The second phase,
which should be complete this summer, will add another seven cities.
The press release isn't online and any news organizations in the area
either don't post the stories online or require subscriptions from
visitors wanting to read the stories online....

cause an ear-piercing 120dB alarm to blare forth, hopefully scaring
the attacker away before you do permanent damage to your taut,
muscular ears.

Oregon Mall Goes Wireless
Oregon Mall Goes Wireless
02/18/2004 01:17 PMCedar Hills Crossing, a mall in Beaverton, Ore., is now covered by
Wi-Fi: Access is free to visitors and the network is co-sponsored by
Personal Telco. Without interesting applications for visitors, I'm not
sure how useful this network will be. I don't often carry my laptop
with me when I'm shopping. There is a restaurant here that's covered,
however. Plus, this would be a good place for customers to use
services that let them scan bar codes and compare products and prices.
Best Buy, Borders, and Office Depot are in this mall so those stores
might be able to think up some useful applications for the network.
The University Village and Bellevue Square malls in the Seattle area,
both somewhat upscale places, have full coverage with Cometa. But they
also have individual coverage (free and fee) in individual properties
throughout. It's unclear whether those two malls have seen any change
in visitors or usage -- they haven't discussed it, and they may not
even be able to track it....
No on 36: Help save Oregon marriages
No on 36: Help save Oregon marriages
09/20/2004 02:33 AMPlenty has been written about the mastery of language in use
by conservative think tanks these days and I'm reminded of it every
time I turn on the news or watch a discussion show featuring
conservative guests. I used to discount the importance of language and
framing of issues as overly simplistic, but this really is the death
of liberals right now. It's in the liberal nature to tell both sides
of the story and/or go for a nuanced discussion of issues, but people
don't have time or energy to keep those kinds of things straight on
hundreds of subjects in the news. I'm constantly impressed by
conservatives that can gain traction with somewhat crazy ideas, but do
it using such simple language that leaves little room for
interpretation.
One instance that is driving it home for me is seeing signs for
prop 36 in Oregon. Proposition 36 is the vote on a change to the State
Constitution, to clear up the ambiguous language that says "anyone
over 18 can marry..." so that is says "A man and a woman over 18 can
marry..." I hear the issue is currently polling at around 50%-50%,
which surprises me because I thought gay marriage had zero chance of
survival in the wild, but looking at the signs it's clear that the No
side's language isn't helping them, while the Yes side is killing
it.
The No on 36 folks have
these complicated signs that say "no on constitutional amendment 36"
and although the NO and 36 are the biggest things on it, it still
requires them to push a negative with a screaming NO on it. The color
is drab and you can't read the words "constitutional ammendment" from
a car. The Yes folks have a great distilled message, with multiple
colors. It says "One Man. One Woman. Yes on 36." It's simple, concise,
and gets the point across without the need for a five-syllable word.
So here's the thing: why don't liberals champion the power slogan?
Why can't liberals drop the "yeah, but..." from everything they want
to say? Conservatives never feel the need to spell out the specifics,
or the drawbacks, or the exceptions, while liberals are almost happy
to do it. It obscures the message when you have to add "yeah, but..."
to everything you say.
Here's my suggestion for the No on prop 36 folks: Go simple. Your
new slogan is "Support Marriages. Support Families. No on 36." That's
it. You don't have to explain these are new marriages or expanded
definitions of family, just go with short, emotional slogans. People
love marriage. People love family. A no vote on 36 means thousands of
marriages don't have to be dissolved.
Just as a conservative might repeat the phrase "Progress in Iraq"
over and over, you could easily spin gay marriage as a way to
encourage more marriages, help create more happy families, and help
spread love instead of hate. And when your opponents try to point out
"but! but! you're going to ruin civilization!" you can ask they why
they hate the institution of marriage, why they want to deny love, and
why they want to break up families.
And you can't argue with that on a 2 foot-by-3 foot sign at
60mph.
