David was one of two best men at our wedding three years ago. He and I used to go hillwalking in Scotland most weekends about 10 years ago, he was always the 'expert' between us, I was always the kind of guy who would ask "How much further?", a question to which David would almost always lie about when answering.

But the thing about mountains is the view from the top almost always makes up for the feeling you get on the way up, the feeling like you just punctured a lung. A bit like life. David climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania a month ago, a recent lifetime ambition of his and this is him near the summit. Looks like it was worth it.

Bioengineered household appliances 07/24/2004 12:59 AM
Faux company "Geniecorp" makes creepy, icky, biogenetically-engineered household appliances for happy mutant homes of the future. "Lick-n-Span," "Alarm Cock," and "Lhasa Mopso" are but a few. Link to the online shopping mall, full of funny, handsomely-designed Flash animations -- it's all a clever promotional tease for this self-published book. (Thanks, Howard)

Paul O'Neill has backed off from some of the statements I quoted a couple of days ago. Of course, this has resulted in a few e-mail lectures from people who kindly advise that I should just shut my stupid Hollywood liberal mouth and move to France. I'm not planning any relocation, or any self-censorship in the near future, so If you're one of those readers, I kindly advise you to go listen to Rush and come back tomorrow.

washingtonpost.com - More companies and consumers, especially in urban areas, are tapping into VoIP. That's shorthand for "voice over Internet Protocol," which is nothing more than industry lingo for a simple but extraordinary concept: using the Internet to make telephone calls.

Sex toy tech-art from discarded
household gadgets 06/23/2004 02:11 PM
Ian Haig is an Australian geek pervert artist who makes wacky, futuristic sex toys from used tech stuff: discarded vacuum cleaners, food processors, and the like. Many of the passers-by who wandered into his booth at the recent Erotica LA expo assumed the devices were intended to be used. A scary prospect, given their appearance, but some people will get off to just about anything. Thankfully, Haig makes the devices for observation only. Think of it as socio-sexual nerdist commentary, with tongue planted firmly in cheek. And just be grateful nobody's trying to stick one of these up your nether-regions.

I shot a couple of photographs of Mr. Haig and his "Futurotica" tools at Erotica LA: one, two.

Link to Haig's Futurotica website with image gallery and background. Link to Fleshbot's coverage.

Los Angeles Times - SOWETO, South Africa — When the first breezes of black freedom rustled across this country, Danny and Gwendoline Maimane had big dreams: More money. A better school for their children. A lift out of this dusty township into one of the lush Johannesburg suburbs reserved for whites. And, maybe, a little more respect.

I can finally buy one of these USB fans for the impending summer, because Thanko has finally done something (slightly) useful with them. They slapped a 7-in-1 card reader or 4-port USB hub inside. The "USB Fan with Card Reader" and "USB Fan with USB 2.0 Hub" are each available in Japan for 2,980 yen.

After last year's Directory Experts Conference (put on by NetPro in Ottawa), HP's Wook Lee became a minor celebrity for his haiku (and senryuu, see "An ode to an identity management problem," link below), which he used to brighten up his talk on "Active Directory Restore Mode" (without the humor this subject would be guaranteed to put people to sleep). Could he top that this year? Indeed he could, both in subject matter as well as in doggerel.
