Gay marriage compared to box-turtle
marriage in Senate, Daily Show replies 07/19/2004 02:52 AM
In a fit of astonishing lunacy, Texas Senator John Cornyn tried to explain the need to ban gay marriage in the context of the social harm that would accrue from allowing men to marry box turtles ("It does not affect your daily life very much if your neighbor marries a box turtle, but that does not mean it is right...Now you must raise you children up in a world where that union of man and box turtle is on the same legal footing as man and wife"). Jon Stewart's Daily Show segment on this statement is nothing short of brilliant. Let's hope it gets enough airplay to cost Cornyn the election (and possibly get him institutionalized somewhere...).

Redefining magazine advertising 07/09/2004 06:27 PM
In the magazine publishing industry, there’s a clear correlation between the size of the audience to which a publication caters and its advertising revenue potential.

Redefining Privacy In An Age When All Is
Known And Searchable 05/04/2004 03:09 PM
While lots of people are complaining about this or that "privacy" question (see the overhyped discussion about Gmail and privacy), some are pointing out that people are focusing in on minor issues and i gnoring the very big questions concerning privacy. There's no doubt that the rise of big databases and better searching techniques means that information is being collected and connected like never before. However, instead of just focusing on whether or not Google should place contextual ads in our email, shouldn't we take a step back and look at the bigger questions about who has control over your information? The article linked above tries to re-frame the debate, saying that we first need to have that discussion, and set up a framework which will allow people to better deal with the more specific minor issues like ads in our emails.

Redefining "Quick Search" - IE Plug-in
for Searching Library Catalogs! 12/03/2003 01:51 AM

It's all in the WebPaths, baby...

"From blogdex to Veen to del.icio.us to this wonderful search plug-in for IE – mahvelous!" [jenett.radio]

Give me a moment to think of a word to write other than "WOW!"

Click on the last link in Joe's post if you are a Windows + Internet Explorer user and you like searching library catalogs. While there are several pre-configured search engines available at the site, the Searchy plug-in turns out to be another pipeline into online catalogs that sits completely outside the library world. Like LibraryLookup, anyone can configure the plug-in to work with any OPAC that allows the appropriate type of search strings, and the site even provides a Plug-in Generator.

For example, I played around with SWAN's keyword search and created a registry plug-in that allows me to type searches directly into the address bar in IE. After installing it, I can now type "sk celtic music" and the results of the search in SWAN load in the browser window. In fact, I just tested "sk pirates of the caribbean" and after a few clicks I'm now the 47th hold for the DVD!

I can also configure similar searches for title, author, subject, etc. ("st" for title, "sa" for author, "ss" for subject). I think the keyword plug-in should be visible to you on the Searchy page if you scroll down to "SWAN" - give it a whirl! The installation instructions really are as simple as they sound. (Do note that this installs into the Windows registry, though, so play at your own risk.)

SWAN runs Innovative Interfaces software, so I know III catalogs will work with this. We'll have to test others. I'm no Windows expert (not even close), but theoretically a library should be able to make plug-ins pre-configured for its catalog available from its own web site, right?

Very cool!

What I'd say about gay marriage

What I'd say about gay marriage 07/13/2004 10:08 AM
If I were John Kerry, here's what I'd say about the gay marriage amendment in a debate: There he goes again. George Bush — the uniter, not the divider — is using this issue as a wedge to drive Americans apart by making this complex question of morality, religion, states rights, and love into a simple yes-no, "you're either with us or against us." Americans are smarter than that, Mr. President. We can handle tough questions in all their complexity. And, frankly, it's a failure of leadership and of vision that you can only see things in black and...

A flautist and violinist played Baroque duets ("Music courtesy of the Brookline Music School") in the front corner of the lobby of the Brookline Town Hall. "Let me get rid of that for you," said a woman wearing an orange GLAD t-shirt, taking an orange rind from the tiny hand of a four year old on the shoulder of one of his fathers. GLAD was there to hand out roses, serve pastries, and applaud. There were no crowds of anonymous well-wishers, unlike last night's festival in Cambridge, just clusters of couples with their family and best friends. Terry, the mother...

May 17 is the first day same-sex marriages are allowed in Massachusetts. Anyone else feel like celebrating together? How about this? We show up en masse at our local town halls. We each come with a bouquet of flowers or two. As the couples leave, we each give one flower to each couple. Other ideas?...

Fafbl0g on gay marriage

Fafbl0g on gay marriage 05/26/2004 09:11 AM
On Fafblog, a very funny fake interview with James Dobson, leader of the anti-gay-marriage nutbars "Focus on the Family":

FAFBLOG: So! How's the Family?

JAMES DOBSON: The Family is in deadly danger, Fafnir.

FB: Danger? Oh no! I like families!

JD: Yes, danger from the homosexual agenda which has been trying for decades to destroy it.

FB: I never knew homosexuals had an agenda! I just thought they were ordinary people who were easily stereotyped as lovers of musical theater.

JD: So they and the gay-controlled Hollywood elite would have you believe. But the Forces of Gay are now closer than ever to destroying the divine institution of the civil marriage certificate, and with it, the family itself.

Love and Marriage

Love and Marriage 01/07/2004 04:23 PM

Made it back from Mexico City this afternoon.  The only unhappy event during the trip was finishing reading the massive Pe loponnesian War and failing to find a good English bookstore.  I ended up settling for an Agatha Christie novel: Lord Edgware Dies (1933).  A married Peruvian woman sitting next to me disagreed with this discourse by Hercule Poirot, bachelor detective:

"Often I have observed that it is a great misfortune for a man to have a wife who loves him.  She creates the scenes of jealousy, she makes him look ridiculous, she insists on having all his time and attention.  Ah!  non!  it is not the bed of roses."

And combining the earlier themes of MIT students and ghetto humor, this just in from a 6.171 student...

"Yo Mama so stupid, she took a rigid body mechanics class because she wanted to meet hot guys."

(We will leave this contributor anonymous so that the MIT administration does not begin disciplinary proceedings...)

Gay marriage satire

Gay marriage satire 07/27/2004 01:18 PM
The Fafblog continues its reign as the funniest political satire blog on the Net with today's post about gay marriage in the form of a mock-interview with the Family Research Council's Dr. James Dobson:

[JD]: The legality of gay marriage sent out powerful shockwaves of destructive gay energy throughout hetereosexuality. Without an amendment to the constitution specifically barring homosexuals from obtaining marriage rights, this destructive Gay Force rampaged throughout the Traditional Family Nexus, corrupting it and turning thousands of upright, decent, missionary-position-loving straight couples into deranged, out-of-control mutant gay perverts.

FB: This is horrible! What in your scientific opinion as a doctor can we do to stop this?

JD: Well, humanity's only hope at this point lies in the Marriage Protection Act, which would strip federal courts of the ability to review the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act. That way if the draconian anti-gay laws we need turn out to be unconstitutional, we'll never know, because the courts won't be able to stop them.
