Just Put A Cellular Tower In The PlaneJust Put A Cellular Tower In The Plane 04/21/2004 03:53 PM In something of a followup to a post from a few weeks ago, Guy Kewney is going through every reason given for banning mobile phones on planes and explaining why it doesn't have to be true. The real issue isn't one of danger (as has been pointed out many times before), but that each phone would be contacting so many cellular towers on the ground it would cause problems for the carriers. The simple solution (mentioned in that earlier article) is to place a modified mobile cellular tower on the plane that directs all communication down in a more appropriate manner. Having found such a local tower, the phones won't broadcast out to all the other towers on the ground. Still, some are worried about the danger issue, and Kewney systematically points out why all their arguments don't make sense. Of course, none of this addresses the annoy ance issue - but perhaps we'll have airlines that advertise "no phoning" planes or zones and we'll basically be back to where we are now. King's new Dark Tower novelKing's new Dark Tower novel 06/19/2004 01:25 AM Today I finished Song of Susannah, the next-to-last volume in Stephen King's Dark Tower series, books that King started as a teenager and that he claims will end his career -- he's vowed that the final volume in the series will also be his last book. I believe him. He's doing the thing that Asimov and Heinlein did at the ends of their careers, tying in the loose ends of all his old work and name-checking and referencing all the writers who influenced him. But unlike bad end-of-career novels like Heinlein's Cat Who Walks Through Walls, Song of Susannah is a sharp and tight book, a comparatively slim book of only 400 or so pages. I raced through it in just a couple sittings, devouring the yarn at speed and wanting at once for it to be over and for it never to end. For King's Dark Tower quest is an astonishing series of novels, rich and wide and deep, drunk on prose and on the best characterization of King's creer. There's plenty King's written that I haven't cared for, but I'd crawl on glass to get my hands on the final installment of the series. This volume in the story is about itself as much as it is about the characters and their quest. King's theories on writing are very sound, and this story is as much about how we read and understand and use stories as it is a story in and of itself.
But it's never preachy and it's never dull. King's story, which has
all the hallmarks of
cliche, manages to be both startingly original and utterly sane and
crazy.
Link All Along the Google Watch TowerAll Along the Google Watch Tower 10/23/2002 12:09 PM The Google Update has become legendary in Webmaster circles. People have canceled vacations, rearranged work schedules, skipped their kids school events, ask daughters to switch wedding dates, and cut classes, just to be around when the update took place. This month we make it a bit more interesting by giving away a new Google mouse pad to who ever predicts the closest update time.
