Get Up, Stand Up 05/09/2004 12:18 AM
I was at a conference near Washington recently, attended by a sampling of geeks from across the intelligence community; every three-letter agency you’ve ever heard of plus lots of military and some law enforcement. They were talking about deploying computer applications and, one after another, described about how they would “stand up” the document repository or the search engine or the message router or whatever. Over the years I’ve heard a lot of people talking about working on a lot of application deployments, but this usage is new to me. I wonder if it’s a defense/intelligence thing, or something that’s out there in the corporate world too, these days? It works well in conversation, so I think it may spread.

So, where do we stand on this?

running to stand still

running to stand still 02/05/2005 09:48 PM

Sketch's vet told me that his lungs are clear, he's bright and active, and he's looking strong . . . but his kidney levels are still elevated from the lasix, and he isn't eating.

It really worries me that he's not eating, but I hope it's just because he's tired of being in the hospital, and he wants to come home and sleep on my his bed.

They told me that I should come down and visit him, because maybe he'll eat for me. Sketch has always been a stubborn cat, but he's extremely affectionate, and I'm hoping that when I get down there and give him some love, and tell him how excited we all are for him to come home, he'll perk up and chow down.

I'm scared. I don't like it that he's not eating.

Stand Alone journalism

Stand Alone journalism 06/25/2004 01:34 PM

Standing room

Like some other well-known bloggers before her, Chris Nolan is working on turning her blog into more of a revenue-generati ng business. I like Chris's stuff, even as I sometimes disagree with it, because it's sharp and unpredictable and rooted in her years of experience as a reporter, and so I wish her well in her efforts to sell ads and subscriptions.

Lord knows it's not an easy road. Reading Chris's manifesto for "Stand-Alone Journalism" -- she argues that's a better label for what she does than "blogging" -- brought me back to some distant memories from the dawn of the Web. After learning HTML and participating in the San Franciso Free Press experiment, I thought to myself, hey, there's nothing to stop me from starting my own publication on the Web!

So I did. In January 1995 I took a week's vacation time from my job at the SF Examiner and published a site. I focused on what was then quaintly known as "multimedia"; I called it Kludge, as a nod to its essential clumsiness and improvised nature, and I posted an issue. This was years before personal content management software, needless to say; it's all just cruddy hand-coded HTML and crude self-designed graphics. But the articles weren't so bad (hey, here's an interview with Marc Canter! Here's a satirical take on the CD-ROM explosion/implosion!).

What I quickly realized was that, as much fun as writing, editing and designing all that material was -- bringing me back as it did to my teenage roots in mimeograph publishing -- it was just the beginning of getting a Web site going. If I was serious about making it something more than a labor of love -- if I wasn't going to do all that work on my vacation days -- I'd need to figure out how to get people to visit the site, and how to sell ads, and so forth. My best efforts involved dumping a pile of flyers in the lobby of a multimedia conference at Moscone Center. (While I was doing that, a couple of guys named Jerry Yang and Dave Filo stood at a booth under a big Yahoo banner, giving away T-shirts.)

After briefly toying with the notion of applying to AOL's Greenhouse program for funding, I thought, nah. When David Talbot started talking about a new publication he wanted to create, I helped persuade him that he should do it on the Web instead of in print. Salon turned out to be a great place for me to write and edit and build Web sites without having to wear all the hats myself (though there have certainly been times during the last decade when my pate has felt a little crowded).

Today, would-be "Stand-Alone Journalists" can rely on much better software tools to create and publish their work. They can plug into far better organized online networks to spread the word of their activities. And they can even turn to simple plug-in approaches to advertising, like AdWords or BlogAds, to try to bring in some cash. But being a "Stand-Alone Journalist" still requires a combination of journalistic and entrepreneurial traits that's rare. Being a good journalist requires the ability to not mind pissing people off sometimes (Nolan, whose career has had its share of controversy, is no shirker in this regard); being a good entrepreneur demands the ability to charm people as often as possible. Both pursuits, of course, demand persistence, patience, and, in the face of indifference, a stubborn belief in the value of one's undertaking.

When I read Nolan's proposed label for the solo-blogger-journalist, the first thing that popped into my mind was the famous quote from Ibsen's Dr. Stockman in "Enemy of the People": "The strongest man in the world is the one who stands most alone." Standing alone has many wonderful advantages -- it's a stirring posture. But remember what happens to old Dr. Stockman: He is right to blow the whistle about the polluting of his town's waters, but he's dreadfully naive about the world around him, he's ultimately ineffective, and he fails to accomplish much besides his own martyrdom.

So I'm not sure the "Stand-Alone Journalist" label is one that will stick. The linked nature of the Web is ultimately even more important than the independence of the blogger. Standing alone is useless without being connected.

Which Hotspot Networks Still Stand?

Which Hotspot Networks Still Stand? 05/19/2004 01:26 PM
With the slow rundown of Cometa's clock starting today, which companies remain standing?: I do have a little ego, and my article in Feb. 2001 in The New York Times was the first comprehensive piece written in a major publication about the nascent Wi-Fi hotspot industry. Several companies were striving to raise funds into the mouth of the dotcom collapse, which claimed bloated business plans or too early attempts to capitalize on a technology that only a small number of laptop users had access to. While researching the story in Dec. 2000, I spoke to the chief marketing officer of the Aerzone division of Softnet. Three days after I spoke to him, Softnet pulled the plug because they couldn't raise the funds to perform the build out that they'd contracted with airlines and airports to handle. The firms I interviewed for the article were Wayport, Surf and Sip, Global Digital Media, AirWave, SkyLink (not quoted), and MobileStar. Let's start in reverse order. What's clear from examining each of these firms is that execution and timing mattered as much in 2001 as they do today: controlling costs and building out a robust network in the right place can only go so far: users who pay are still required. MobileStar: While initially well funded, MobileStar had extremely high run rates. I's technical standards were top notch, but expensive, and expenses ran far ahead of any potential revenue. They went bankrupt late in 2001 and had their assets purchased by T-Mobile HotSpot. The company reportedly went through as much as $90 million in investment income while producing no more than a couple million in revenue. T-Mobile has continued to use its brand name and high-level partnerships to run what is generally considered to be an excellent network that's overprice for day use, but not far out of scale on their unlimited monthly plans with one-year commitment. Sky.Link Internet Plus: A promising Canadian firm with hotel and airports service, the company disappeared abruptly a few months after my article came out. It resurfaced briefly with fewer locations before taking a final plunge. Its history and disappearance are a mystery. AirWave: AirWave was a small San Francisco Bay Area set of hotspots in restaurants and coffeeshops that decided that the software they'd written to manage access points was a better product than the hotspot business. In 2002, they exited hotspots, spinning off their locations to...

Pa t Buchanan has realsed a new book called &q uot;Where the Right went Wrong" just in time for the Republican National Convention. The politics of war in the U.S. must make strange bedfellows if Pat Buchanan, Lou Rockwell and more recently Rep. Doug Bereuter of Nebraska can have anything in common with Moveon.org and Common Dreams. What does it mean for such a notable Republican to publish an anti-war book and be this critical of President Bush? Will moderate Republicans stay at home, vote third party or even switch to John Kerry? A growing trend or blip on the radar? [More inside]

Can iPod stand on its own footprint?

Can iPod stand on its own footprint? 09/18/2004 12:52 PM
A recent <A HREF="http://www.forbes.com/technology/2004/09/17/cx_ah_0917tente ch.html">article</A> on Forbes.com about the Apple/Beatles lawsuit contains an interesting footnote that brings to light and an more interesting question: Can the iPod name survive without the Apple brand? While the reverse is already being tested by Hewlett Packard, it remains to be see whether any of Apple's products can survive without their namesake. For all of Apple's unique and unmistakable designs, what would happen if the Apple was removed from the front of the iMac? Or the 23-inch Cinema Display? Or the back of the iPod? Forbes seems to think that a move away from the Apple name and symbol "would harm its prospects not one bit. "The iPod brand is turning out to be as powerful a brand name as that of its corporate parent. By itself, it's also free of any expensive encumbrances involving musicians who haven't done anything terribly interesting in the last few years (i.e., The Beatles)." The iPod name is certainly strong enough to exist on its own, but would there be any benefit (aside from the Apple/AppleCorps dispute)? Could Apple create better computers — or better music players — if the pressure was off to do both under the same moniker? I'd like to personally think not, and with the unveiling of the latest iteration of the iMac, it seems that Steve Jobs & Co. can certainly do both, and do it well, if not borrowing from the other side along the way. The iPod is as much Apple as it is its own individual namesake, but splitting the two would likely cause separation anxiety for one — or even both — parties. It's not secret that the iPod has brought Apple back to major player status, and while it may be true that Apple the computer company has ridden Apple the music company to new heights, they most certainly need each other to survive. I mean, just take a look at <A HREF"www.apple.com">Apple.com</A>�

Stand Up for Your Fair Use Rights

Fair Use Gets Fair Play on Capitol Hill

"This Wednesday, May 12th, marks the first time since the DMCA was enacted in 1998 that Congress will hold hearings on legislation to reform it.

The Digital Media Consumers' Rights Act, or DMCRA, has three important goals:

#1: Warning: You're About to Pay Full Price for a Hobbled CD....

#2: You Get to Reclaim Fair Uses of Digital Media That You Already Have in Analog Media....

Among other things, this would mean that:

a.) when most scholarly communication, publishing, instruction etc., takes place using digital media/online, our ability to share knowledge and learn from one another won't be a distant and fast-fading memory;
b.) when researchers want to 'tinker' to advance our scientific knowledge, they won't face a significant barrier -- like the repeated threat of litigation; and
c.) when librarians seek to preserve our history in digital media, they won't have to wait three years at a time to beg the Copyright Office for the narrowly defined technical ability to do so.

#3: These Will Be Real, Not Phantom/Illusory Fair Use Rights....

There are a few other hot spots for discussion of this bill; check them out, and if you decide that you want Congress to consider the public's rights in digital media, let your representatives know you support it." [Copyfight]
