The lemmings go over the cliff, or the
inmates are driving the bus

The lemmings go over the cliff, or the
inmates are driving the bus 03/16/2003 04:52 AM
As you may be able to tell from the links that I have selected tonight for the Midnight Blog, I am feeling fairly disheartened, too disheartened to do much original writing. Once I again, I find that my writing, which starts off being about technology and its effect on people, people and their use of technology, my voyages of discovery on this crazy thing we call the 'Net, and the fun random stuff that crosses through my brain, ends up focusing on politics, writ large. I don't know how not to write about politics, as we go to war. I feel like I am living in Europe in the summer of 1914 after the assassination of the archduke Franz Ferdinand, and I am watching the troops mobilize across Europe for a quick fight to "show who is right," and I know how it is not going to turn out. History has many more examples of wars with different outcomes than their instigators' intended than it does of wars that turn out as planned. It is not going to be a short glorious war, although the opening stages may look like it. One billion Muslims may not rise up at once, but they are not going to be happy with Christian occupation of the Islamic heartland, and some of them will find nasty ways to express their unhappiness. It is not going to be the war to end all wars, nor will it make the world safe for democracy. Like all wars, it will brutalize the participants and bystanders alike. In this case, both sides will probably make use of advances in military technology to commit new barbarities. So it was particularly disheartening to read this brilliant article, Just the Beginning, Is Iraq the opening salvo in a war to remake the world? by Robert Dreyfuss. Dreyfuss looks at the intellectual godfathers who agitated for a war against Iraq in the 1990's, neoconservatives like Richard Perle, Michael Ledeen, Reuel Marc Gerecht and Douglas Feith, most of whom are now in or associated with the Bush administration. As Dreyfus documents using their own words, they see the war against Iraq as just the first step in a war to remake the Middle East by militarily attacking or otherwise overthrowing the governments of Iran, Syria, and Saudi Arabia. They want to see a Middle East dominated by an alliance between the United States and Israel, backed by overwhelming military force. They either ignore the fact that being democratic does not mean being pro-American policies, something that should be self-evident to even the most ignorant person by now, or they are clear that what they are after isn't democracy -- they would be just as happy to have authoritarian pro-American rulers. And they are prepared to have America go to war to install satraps for the new American empire. Some quotes:

"I think we're going to be obliged to fight a regional war, whether we want to or not," says Michael Ledeen, a former U.S. national-security official and a key strategist among the ascendant flock of neoconservative hawks, ... the very logic of the global war on terrorism will drive the United States to confront an expanding network of enemies in the region. "As soon as we land in Iraq, we're going to face the whole terrorist network," he says, including the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and a collection of militant splinter groups backed by nations -- Iran, Syria and Saudi Arabia -- that he calls "the terror masters." "It may turn out to be a war to remake the world," says Ledeen. ... In their book, The War Over Iraq, William Kristol of The Weekly Standard and Lawrence F. Kaplan of The New Republic write, "The mission begins in Baghdad, but it does not end there. … We stand at the cusp of a new historical era. … This is a decisive moment. … It is so clearly about more than Iraq. It is about more even than the future of the Middle East and the war on terror. It is about what sort of role the United States intends to play in the twenty-first century." ... "Nostalgia for the last shah's son, Reza Pahlavi … has again risen," says Reuel Marc Gerecht, a former CIA officer who, like Ledeen and Perle, is ensconced at the AEI. "We must be prepared, however, to take the battle more directly to the mullahs," says Gerecht, adding that the United States must consider strikes at both Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps and allies in Lebanon. "In fact, we have only two meaningful options: Confront clerical Iran and its proxies militarily or ring it with an oil embargo." ... Perle called on Israel to work with Turkey and Jordan to "contain, destabilize and roll-back" various states in the region, overthrow Saddam Hussein in Iraq, press Jordan to restore a scion of its Hashemite dynasty to the Iraqi throne and, above all, launch military assaults against Lebanon and Syria as a "prelude to a redrawing of the map of the Middle East [to] threaten Syria's territorial integrity." Joining Perle in writing the IASPS paper were Douglas Feith and Wurmser, now senior officials in Bush's national-security apparatus. ... Chas Freeman, who served as U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War, thinks it will be a disaster. "This outdoes anything in the march of folly catalog," he says. "It's the lemmings going over the cliff."

Required Reading, especially for anybody who thinks this war has anything to do with freedom. Like Chas Freeman (a brilliant diplomat, one of the US' best), I am convinced that the insane asylum inmates have taken over the bus that was transporting them to the loony bin, and they are driving the bus over the cliff. Unfortunately, we are on the bus too. What is a concerned citizen to do? I I write my Congresswoman and Senators, to support their opposition to the war, I write in this weblog, but I fear that all this writing is just preaching to the converted. The inmates have taken over the bus, and there doesn't seem to be anything we can do to stop them. Instead, we just watch as the bus goes over. I wonder if this is what it was like to watch the troop trains scurry across Europe in August of 1914, knowing that death and destruction were on their way, but feeling powerless to stop them. Suggestions for meaningful action welcomed.

NY Times: Before You Buy Into That I.P.O., Search 'Lemmings'. "The company's valuation is clearly based more on the hype factor than business fundamentals," said Ashok Kumar, a technology analyst at Raymond James & Company. Unlike many of the Internet companies that came to life at the end of the last decade, Google turns a sizable profit ($79 million in the second quarter of 2004, up 147 percent from a year earlier). But Mr. Kumar nonetheless concluded that its pricing "harkens back to the late 90's boom."

Records from the trash: rescued audio

Records from the trash: rescued audio 08/23/2004 06:36 AM
Cory Doctorow: Great LiveJournal post about one person's garbage-picked record-album habits:

And if something is not my cup of tea, I try to pass it on. For example, I'm not a huge fan of hip-hop, though I certainly like some of it. Whenever I show up at my local with a pile of records I've scavenged, Andre, one of the barmen, will probably say, sounding genuinely offended, "How come you never get any for me?" A few months ago, I spotted a gigantic stack of mostly hip-hop 12-inches awaiting the Sanitation Dept. I grabbed a gigantic pile, as many as I could carry, and made my way back to the bar, where I'd just seen him. "Hey, Andre, I got a present for you…" I said, and dropped the discs on the bar. "I'll be right back--there's more." It was worth it just to see the startled look on his face. (Out of the whole bunch of maybe 250 I kept about 8 or 10.)

And then there are 78s, which most people don't have the machinery to play. I've become interested in old 78rpm records ever since my father gave me his collection of jazz records--as well as a turntable to play them on--not long before his death. While there were some LPs in the bunch--and some of those were amazing ones--the majority of the collection consisted of jazz 78s, mostly from the 1940s, but some dating back as early as 1929, which means I'm the third generation to own them, since my father was only 15 that year and obviously acquired those records secondhand.

Insurance Company Offering eBay

Insurance Company Offering eBay
Insurance 11/17/2003 04:17 AM
Everyone has heard about various eBay scams, and it's making people increasingly nervous to buy or sell products on the site. So, along comes an insurance company to try to help alleviate some of the problems. They're offering a form of eBay insurance, though it might not work the way you would expect. It's targeted at eBay power sellers who are willing to give up a small percentage of each sale for the right to display a "BuySafe" logo. The logo is supposed to link to a site that will verify that the logo has been approved. The insurance company (Hartford) then insures that the buyer will either receive the good - or the money they paid for the good will be returned. Of course, they'll only handle claims that occur within 30 days of the sale, so if the seller keeps telling you to hang on a little while longer, you might be out of luck. Also, eBay offers their own service like this, but the fine print is a killer. While the service promises to refund up to $1,000, it isn't $1,000 per purchase, but $1,000 per seller. So, if (as did happen) a seller with such a logo scams people out of a million dollars, the company would split $1,000 among all the victims. Not particularly comforting.

Tsunami tales

Tsunami tales 12/28/2004 05:19 PM
Behind the doleful ticker tape of news stories about rising death counts in Southern Asia, the Web is humming with firsthand accounts of the tsunami's wave of destruction. One of the most compelling is a string of ongoing dispatches from BBC reporters in affected areas. On Tuesday, for instance, Roland Buerk in Sri Lanka notes that tourists who were killed are being placed in mass graves alongside native inhabitants who have also perished. "Apparently the people who are burying them are trying to make a note of where the graves are," he reports, "and if they find a passport they are taking a note of that too, in the hope that perhaps one day those remains might be returned to their home countries." Buerk's personal account of when the tsunami first struck him in a Sri Lanka beach house is also striking. "We swam out of the room neck deep in water, forcing our way through the tables and chairs in the restaurant and up into a tree."

The Register reports on a story that ran in a magazine called Computing Which? that details failures to get standard Wi-Fi gear from different manufacturers to interoperate: The editors tried to set up a Linksys 802.11g router and a Netgear bridge but couldn't get the two devices to interact. Eventually one Netgear help desk agent told the writers the products could be incompatible. It doesn’t appear that the original story is online so it's hard to know more about this trial. It sounds as though the aim of the report was to test how easy or difficult it is to set up wireless networks. The writers concluded that it's too hard to use. It would be unfortunate if the industry has a hard time attracting additional users because the products are inoperable and difficult to use....

Wayport is just one of a handful of companies announcing new places to find hotspots over the last week: Visitors to San Francisco's Moscone Center will be able to get access from Wayport in common areas and meeting rooms by the spring. Most of the conference center will be covered by then with the rest coming later. A slightly different clientele will likely be using a new hotspot in Philadelphia. The mayor announced that the city will set up a hotspot in Love Park. Apparently the park used to be filled with skateboarders who were recently banned from using the park. But a compromise is being worked on that will allow skateboarders during certain hours. They'll now be able to tote their laptops to the park as well. In other city hotspot news, San Jose is planning a big bash Thursday, March 11 at 11:00 at the Circle of Palms to celebrate San Jose's downtown Wi-Fi service. The mayor and members of the Silicon Valley Wireless Communications Alliance will be there. Demonstrations of the service will be available and the new Downtown Wi-Fi portal will be launched. Finally, for those iPass customers who have been waiting for the iPass/T-Mobile agreement to come to fruition, the wait is over. Starting today, iPass users will see 4,200 T-Mobile hotspots in the iPass directory of available access sites. IPass customers can also find more information about those and all iPass broadband access sites now that iPass has licensed a directory tool from JiWire. IPass customers will be able to view maps of where the hotspots are and read detailed information about the venues that offer the hotspots. The tool includes information about all iPass broadband locations, wired or wireless, around the globe. JiWire is a Wi-Fi Networking News partner. The announcement about the T-Mobile sites isn't available online and JiWire doesn't seem to have posted its news release on its site yet....

Tales from the Mental Hospital. "I fought them the best I could, but it was no use at all. I was rather quickly overpowered and dragged inside. A smart person would have just given up at that point, but at the time I was by no means a smart person. I started pulling and struggling to get these guys off me. This only made the situation worse, as I was forced down onto the floor of the wing so the nurse could come and administer the ever popular needle of Ativan into my ass cheek. I continued to try and fight, until a rather large fellow named Abdullah decided the best way to keep me down would to be to use his knee to pin my head to the rug."
