Losing the War

Losing the War 12/28/2004 05:28 PM
Losing the War, an insightful memoir by writer and journalist Lee Sandlin. Note: It's not about Iraq. Or is it? "A year later, in the second winter of the invasion, as the army inched forward on a final, desperate push into Stalingrad, a daring joke began making the rounds in Germany, a mock dispatch from Stalingrad HQ: 'Today our troops captured a two-room apartment with kitchen, toilet, and bathroom. They have succeeded in retaining two-thirds of it despite fierce counterattacks by the enemy.' Few of the tellers realized just how accurate this description was. Jo hn Keegan, in his book The Second World War, quotes a German officer's description of the fighting in the city: 'We have fought for fifteen days for a single house with mortars, grenades, machine-guns and bayonets. Already by the third day fifty-four German corpses are strewn in the cellars, on the landings, and the staircases. The front is a corridor between burnt-out rooms; it is the thin ceiling between two floors.' This was where Hitler's vision of the world finally foundered. After striding like a colossus over a continent, the German army was in the end unable to force its way up a flight of stairs."

I think I may be losing it.  I wrote two posts today but trashed them both because I didn't want to bother with the backlash.  Fear is something I have a good handle on, but not the lazyness.  In one of the two posts, I pissed liberally on good people like Dave, Joi, Tim O'Reilly and companies like Microsoft, Google, Six Apart, and O'Reilly.  The other post was about why I may be a racist.  Saucy topics indeed, but my lazyness got the better of me.  I hope I get better soon.

Losing place

Thoughtful essay by Paul Goldberger (the New Yorker's architecture critic) in Metropolis magazine about how cellphones are uprooting and altering how we connect to the world around us:But the cell phone has changed our sense of place more than faxes and computers and e-mail because of its ability to intrude into every moment in every possible place. When you walk along the street and talk on a cell phone, you are not on the street sharing the communal experience of urban life. You are in some other place--someplace at the other end of your phone conversation. You are there, but you are not there. It reminds me of the title of Lillian Ross's memoir of her life with William Shawn, Here But Not Here. Now that is increasingly true of almost every person on almost every street in almost every city. You are either on the phone or carrying one,...

Popular Science magazine gives us the following five things You Didn’t Know You Could Do with RSS:

1. “Package Deliveries
2. Library Books
   “ Avoid late fees and fruitless trips to the library with ELF (libraryelf.com), which generates a feed to inform you when books you've requested are available at your local branch (including a link to operating hours) and when your checked-out books are almost due.”
3. Local Weather
4. TV Listings
5. Yourself” [via del.icio.us/merlinmann/ 43folders]

I love the ELF and even subscribe to the service myself, but how does it make your privacy-loving, patron-protecting, librarian self feel that a company in Canada is providing this service that gets highlighted in PopSci instead of you?

Failure is not an option, it's mandatory. "For more than three decades, the Republican Party has relied on the "culture war" to rescue their chances every four years, from Richard Nixon's campaign against the liberal news media to George H. W. Bush's campaign against the liberal flag-burners. In this culture war, the real divide is between "regular people" and an endlessly scheming "liberal elite." This strategy allows them to depict themselves as friends of the common people even as they gut workplace safety rules and lay plans to turn Social Security over to Wall Street. Most important, it has allowed Republicans to speak the language of populism."

An opinion about how the surety of losing wins votes for the Republican party.

Is The US Losing Our Tech Edge By
Keeping Others Out?

Is The US Losing Our Tech Edge By
Keeping Others Out? 04/22/2004 09:27 PM
There has been a lot of talk recently about whether or not the US is "losing our technology edge." Some people blame offshoring, while others blame our education system. In something of a combination of the two, Thomas Friedman's latest Op-Ed piece for the NY Times suggests that our recent border crackdown is causing foreign students to study elsewhere, rather than come to the US for their education. Over the last couple of decades, many of the best technology minds have been foreign-born individuals who came to the US for their education and stuck around to work here afterwards. Some stay permanently, while others learn here and then go home - but often use their American experience to build relationships here that help businesses in both the US and their home country. Now, however, with students not even coming to the US, tech companies that are hiring abroad say it's not just about cheaper labor, but the fact that there are more well educated technology leaders coming from other countries. Of course, this is a long term strategic question, and in an age when political policies are all soundbites and "what will get me elected" no one has time for such long term thinking.

In a recent post, Marc mentions that I changed my photo. Yes, the old one was like 6 or 7 years old, and didn't show the fluffy whiteness of my 50 year-old goatee. Also -- more importantly -- I've dropped like 40 pounds.

PS The piece he mentioned (Gmail is Truly Amazing) was penned by our guest author, Greg Narain, who doesn't even have a photo on the blog, yet. (Greg... got a photo?)

Mutilation losing favor in Africa

Mutilation losing favor in Africa 06/08/2004 06:30 PM
Female genital mutilation is a blight on women's lives in many parts of Africa. Today's NY Times has a story, "Genital Cutting Shows Signs of Losing Favor in Africa" by Mark Lacey, that gives grounds for optimism:

Slowly, genital cutting is losing favor. Parliaments are passing laws forbidding the practice, which causes widespread death and disfigurement. Girls are fleeing their homes to keep their vaginas intact. And the women who have been carrying out the cutting, and who have been revered by their communities for doing so, are beginning to lay down their knives.

AP - Disney may want to forget "The Alamo." The much-hyped historical film, which cost as much as $140 million to make and market, met box office disaster during its opening weekend, pulling in only $9.1 million and leading some analysts to trim second-quarter earnings estimates for The Walt Disney Co.
