God has a good case for a libel suit based on the Bible, according to ventriloquist and long-time Tigger voice Paul Winchell: "The Old Testament maligns the meaning of God and deprives us of a loving image. There is no doubt in my mind that Scripture defames the essence of God." (11-29)

about OpenOffice.org 06/15/2004 11:43 AM
If the success of an open source project can be measured by the number of third-party books about it, then OpenOffice.org is thriving. Not only is OpenOffice.org represented by a dozen books and pieces of training material on Amazon.com, but interest in OpenOffice.org is widespread enough that each of the books is geared to a slightly different audience. This article gives an overview of four of the current OpenOffice.org books, ending with a suggestion of which to buy for your own needs.

Accessibility Checker Recommendations

Accessibility Checker Recommendations 06/17/2005 07:17 PM

Among TopStyle's validation tools is integration with the Bobby accessibility checker, but I've received word from Watchfire that they've discontinued their free web-based Bobby service. So, I need to find a replacement, hopefully in time to include in TopStyle 3.12.

Personally, I've found the accessi bility checks built into CSE HTML Validator Pro more than sufficient for my needs, but I realize some TopStyle customers would like integration with a free web-based checker as well so I'd like to continue to offer this feature.

Since I don't have much experience with these tools, I'm open to recommendations from TopStyle users. Note, though, that whatever service I integrate with must be able to accept the HTML document via HTTP post (ie: application/x-www-form-urlencoded) rather than just through a public URL.

On MediaUnbound and recommendations
engines... 04/22/2004 09:21 AM

I've been playing with a demo over on MediaUnbound, which is a music discovery engine that runs in Flash and assembles pseudo-radio players that are designed to meet your every musical need. The concept isn't particularly new, but I have to say I was impressed by the quality of the recommendations and - more importantly - by the process by which the recommendations were made.

Human beings have a tendency towards self-deception and care (to a greater or lesser extent) about the groups of people they are considered to be associated with. They care about how they are being compartmentalised or categorised by those around them and this - for the most part - is the way that most recommendations engines work: demographics, categorisation, association. In real life, people are reticent about revealing tastes that they're slightly ashamed of and happy to own up to tastes that fit in with popular opinion or with the opinion of the subculture that they most heavily identify. Because of this, telling people what they might like is inherently a judgement by association - and if people aren't comfortable with the way that the system has 'judged' them (either it seems clumsy and overly simple or it judges them to like music or books that are associated with cultures that they find tacky or crass) then they're simply not going to be interested in hearing what it has to say. That's as true online as it is when you recommend a song to a friend and they say that they don't really like "that kind of music", whether they've heard the song or not.

My experience with MediaUnbound has been better than with most other recommendations engines. Like the best LiveJournal quizzes the options you are provided with seem designed to make it a little more difficult to associate the choices you are given with 'types of people' you might or might not like. And the results give the impression of being satisfyingly varied between genres, cultures and styles allowing you to determine for yourself which recommended songs you think are central to your recommendations (ones you're proud of or that you know you like or might find interesting) and which you can self-group as more peripheral (ones you're ashamed of or don't like). Add that to a generally pretty reasonable success rate and generally you can't go that wrong... Here are a selection of some of the songs it thinks I'd like (I'm not going to tell you which ones are accurate or not - judge me as you see fit):

Sonic Youth: Silver Rocket
Porno for Pyros: Pets
David Bowie: Jean Genie
The Third Sex: At Least I Got Some Cool Clothes

Drat, here I am about to leave for Munich in a few hours, and I just now remembered I hadn't posted asking for recommendations of what to see while there. I'm sure I'll find some Internet connection when I arrive, so go ahead and let me know what I can't afford to miss during my brief sojourn to the Bavarian capital. Neat architecture, pretty scenes, and cool cultural suggestions are appreciated. And of course, if there's something I just shouldn't miss (a museum? a food? a beer?), let me know. Thanks.

I'm in the market for a cheap US dial-up internet provider. I'm connected via broadband most of the time but I really need to get a backup modem account. In the UK, dialup accounts are available for free with the cost of the phone call as the only charge applied. I haven't heard of any similar deals in the states, so I'm looking for recommendations. I won't be using it very often so the cheaper the better.

Book Publishers Selling Direct - Pissing
Off Book Retailers

Book Publishers Selling Direct - Pissing
Off Book Retailers 02/13/2004 05:52 AM
One of the struggles that companies have as distribution and sales mechanisms change is handling legacy channel conflict issues. Dell became huge by selling direct to customers, but when rival Compaq started to move in that direction, their retail partners freaked out - and Compaq had to scale back their plans. It appears that book publishers are now going through the same process. They've realized that if someone is looking for info about certain books on their site, it makes sense to also offer them a chance to buy it. However, it's pissing off retailers, who don't want to hear that their suppliers are competing with them. Retailers say a reasonable compromise would be having the publishers point to the retailers, which was my first response as well. However, then it becomes a political situation of who do you link to and why? There's also the fact that this makes for a less enjoyable consumer experience. I know that, more than once, I've been annoyed at online sites where I go for info on buying a product, but when I try to buy am given a big list of retailers instead of a way to buy right away.
