Sad month

Sad month 06/25/2004 12:46 AM

On the 10th, one of my good friends, Mannojo Nomura of the 300-year old Izumi school of kyogen passed away suddenly. He was 44. His father and grandfather were both Japanese living national treasures and he was scheduled to take his grandfather's Manzo Nomura title in January. Our family house in Iwate used to have a no/kyogen theater and we had hosted his family in the past many years before I was born. A few years ago, Mannojo and I met up through Enjin 01, a cultural non-profit organization that we are both on the board of. He was always very cheerful and thoughtful and we talked a lot about rebuilding our family relationship. We had planned to travel to Iwate together soon. I'm really going to miss him...

Last week the grandmother in the house next door passed away and we had the first funeral in our little village. The village is still mourning the loss. Although I didn't know the woman, I can feel the mourning in the air.

Then, the day before yesterday, Kazuo Sato, the CEO of Net One Systems passed away. I met Mr. Sato through Osamu Sawada who used to be our COO at Neoteny. Mr. Sawada will be taking the CEO role now at Net One Systems. Mr. Sato and I met several times and I remember him being extremely driven and generous. We had agreed to go to dinner sometime and discussed working together more closely, but we had both been busy and hadn't gotten around to it. Net One Systems is one of the largest and fastest growing network solution providers and Mr. Sato is famous for building the extremely successful company with his focus and strength of character.

I'm sorry for clumping three obituaries together in one post, but they're all fresh in my mind right now...

I don't know much about rap, so I enjoy perusing the 50+ song archive chock full of chestnuts like "Runaway," "Rawhide," and "Love Shack." Send in your requests now.

$6 month for nothing?

$6 month for nothing? 02/10/2004 02:51 AM
I’m intrigued by the idea of taxing people $6/month so that music downloading would be otherwise free and unrestricted.

The big drawback is that I don’t want to download any non-free music, and I’d resent paying the $6 for something I don’t want. I’m not sure that fogeys like me really want to subsidize the music habits of teenagers.

It sounds like a way for the music labels (which produce a nearly uniformly boring product) to be ensured of making a profit and getting my money. They have no interest in creating something I personally would like—and they’d have even less reason to try, since they’d be getting my money anyway.

But I must be missing some larger point about society or copyright law or something. Feel free to enlighten me.

P.S. I like music—that’s not what this is about. In fact, I just bought a new Stratocaster.

I personally believe that meetings that go on for hours without a single break should be banned. There's no time to do your email (which normally takes an hour or two), nor there's any chance to just... relax. So people drudge along, trying to keep together whatever strings of consciousness they still have after a few hours, and nobody really remembers afterwards what was decided, because everyone was forced to do multiple things at the same time. The world does not stop for the meetings, as much as we would like it to.

On a completely different note... I wrote a short thing about the art of letting go, after many long discussions with friends, who have opened my eyes to see whole new worlds. In a few weeks I'll consider it completely crap, and use printouts for target practice, but for the moment it says - in an awkward, clunky sort of way - some things that I have learned. Hope you like it.

BlackBoard one month after IPO

BlackBoard one month after IPO 07/30/2004 12:03 PM

Business Week has an article about BlackBoard 's financial stamina, following its June initial public offering ( IPO ). The perspective is financial, rather than pedagogical.

Blackboard's co-founders are young and are focused on building a company that can react with rapidly to what customers want. Jim Kabbani, former director of worldwide sales at Blackboard, says "There is constant improvement of product." Kabbani says when he worked at the company, which was created in a rowhouse in Washington, D.C., it was part of the fast-moving dot-com culture. He notes that unlike other startups at the time, it remained nimble enough to survive the depths of the bust.

One Month with SpamSieve

One Month with SpamSieve 03/06/2004 01:59 AM

This is a follow up on my experience with SpamSieve installed as a part of MailSmith from Bare Bones Software:

First off, let me say that Mailsmith is truly a wonderful email client. It fits my needs perfectly, and fits my style or reading, writing and archiving email.

SpamSieve is truly an outstanding addition to MailSmith. After a week of use, it had learned how to handle spam for me quite well. After a month, I'm nothing short of stupified at how well it does its job.

Statistics since 2/1 (the day I installed it):

Noah Shackman noticed a Canadian Press report saying that the Navy can't seem to find their Battlespace Preparation Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (PDF format). The bright yellow BPAUV weighs 800 pounds, is 122 inches long, 21 inches in diameter and was last seen off the coast of Norway where it was taking part in a military exercise. The BPAUV was built by Bluefin Robotics where you can find more photos and video of the robot sub. The Navy's highly automated and futuristic-looking HSV-2 Swift vessel is still out looking for the little lost robot.
