The iPod Moment 06/04/2004 11:46 PM
“From the moment I saw it, I was stunned,” says Moby of the iPod in Rolling Stone’s current cover story, “50 Moments That Changed the History of Rock & Roll.” The story continues, “By the end of 2003, the iPod has become a cultural phenomenon. Close to 3 million of the devices have now been sold, and they’re expected to soon outsell portable CD players… ‘I never used to see people walking around listening to music on the streets,’ said Moby. ‘Now everywhere I go, I see the iPod’s white headphones.’”[Jun 4]

That magic moment

That magic moment 03/26/2005 09:34 AM

Here's a photo James Hong shot at PC Forum. As James describes it:

I HAD to take a picture of this potentially historic moment.. Kim Cameron (Microsoft) and Mitchell Baker (Mozilla) discussing the possibility of cooperating on Open Identity!! Do it guys!! It'll change the world and make the Net feel safe again.

Craig Burton has his own version of the story.....

Doc Searls arranged a meeting yesterday beween Mitchell Baker and Kim Cameron to discuss the possibility  of Mozilla supporting Kim's Open Identity System. Since the meeting was at the PC Forum, and I live in Scottsdale, I was lucky enough to be sitting at the table during the event. It was so cool when Mitchell groked what Kim was proposing.

Of course she didn't make any commitments, but it was obvious that her wheels were turning. I think history was made. Wouldn't it be cool if Firefox supported Kim's Open Identity System, It felt like a real magic moment.

If I were Mozilla, I would jump all over it!

Later: James Hong was also there and took a photo of the moment. He posted the uri in the comments but I thought it should be up front. Thanks James!

And Doc puts it this way (on his IT Garage):

If you're wondering about the power of podcasting, stay tuned for what's happening to bring identity to the suite of Internet services. (for details on the meaning of that phrase, see Craig Burton's Internet Services Model). Back on December 31, Steve Gillmor convened a Gillmor Gang podcast of a conversation about identity. On the 'cast were Craig, Kim Cameron, Dave Winer, Drummond Reed, Marc Canter, Bryan Field-Elliot, Phil Windley and myself. (For more background on the 'cast, see this post here.) There were so many on the 'cast that it became known as The Gaggle.

The conversation continued, to say the least.

So in other words - if you ever wondered whatever happened with FOAFnet and my identity efforts, I've been working the back channels, insider games and politics of the Commons - trying to make sure everyone was talkng to each other.

Our own solution is Sxip Networks - but anyone should be able to use their own solution, and plug into a 'identity backplane' that.....

OOoppps - we're still not ready to announce - yet. Stay tuned till DIDW in May. It'll be big.

The only bummer was that Dave Winer wasn't there. His concerns on Microsoft drove us to create this 'bottoms up' effort. Clearly MS will worry about the top-down ramifications of their actions, but 'we're' helping them - from the bottom up.

Maybe Dave can come to DIDW this year?

The format is extremely simple -- read one randomly selected Lowbrow Moment, hit reload, read the next one. What's Lowbrow about? It's about hard-earned street wisdom and raunchy sex; it's about drunken violence and heroic feats of masturbation. If your life is particularly Lowbrow, feel free to share, but beware of imitators.

Moment of Cy Twombly zen

Moment of Cy Twombly zen 06/05/2005 11:42 PM
Xeni Jardin: From a New York Times article on a retrospective of the artist's work in Houston:

He sat facing the gallery's largest painting, an allegory of Orpheus' trip to the underworld, 13 feet high and a whopping 52 feet long. Painted between 1972 and 1994, it has been called by assorted names, including, "Say Goodbye, Catullus, to the Shores of Asia Minor" - a reference to the Roman poet who, like Mr. Twombly, deftly mixed learned allusion and earthy expression.

With evident pleasure, the artist recounted the painting's effect on a young Frenchwoman who visited the gallery some years ago. The lone guard found her standing in front of the vivid whorls, scattered verses and bright splatters of color, totally nude.

"Right here in this room!" Mr. Twombly affirmed. He was delighted, he said. "Wouldn't you be? That's pretty good. No one can top that one. Come on. How many people ?"

His words then evaporated like the mysterious markings that twitter across his works before seemingly lifting off and wafting away.

The guard, Guillermo Leguizamon, recalls gathering his wits and telling the museum visitor, "I can admire your beauty, madam, but if you don't put on your clothes, you'll be more famous than Cy Twombly himself." She dressed and departed, leaving a message in the guest book: "The painting makes me want to run naked."

Death: The Decisive Moment 08/05/2004 05:44 PM

« Henri Cartier-Bresson behind his Leica. »

I heard the news that Henri Cartier-Bresson died while we were in Prague. His style was distinctive and his aloof intimacy with those he captured on film are a precious record of the passage of life where he happened to chance upon it. Documentary photography has always produced the most interesting photos because they tell a story and he wasn't just a photographer, he was a brilliant storyteller. The Guardian has a story about his life and Magnum has a retrospective in photos. May he rest in peace and his immortality be assured in his photographic stories for generations to come.

I'm worn out from 4 days in Prague where it was warm and mobbed by tourists and tourist traps. Note to self: next time, visit in the winter when it will still be warmer than Helsinki and have far fewer tourists. It was good to see the familiar Finnish landscape below the wing as we were landing, but I want to know why Finns seem to have this rather odd habit of applauding the piot upon touchdown since the pilot can't hear them and, well, I'd prefer no encores. Judging by the sea of lost baggage at Vantaa, it's good we didn't return yesterday when there was a baggage handlers 1-day strike. I'll have the photos developed and will write more detail on Prague in a few days.

A funny moment at ETech

A funny moment at ETech 02/11/2004 09:50 PM
I'm sitting behind Cory Doctorow at ETech listening to some guy drone on and on about Web Services. It's the end of the day and it's a very boring presentation. So I browse my home page, and see a newswire story about the CIA website posting asking for help finding Weapons of Mass Destruction. I browse the CIA site, and sure enough, it is there. I check the url on Technorati, to see who has blogged it. To my surprise, it doesn't look like anyone has. It seems like an appropriate post for ETech, since as well as being an amusing act of desperation, it is an innovative public use of technology by the CIA, so I stick something on my linklog, The Midnight Blog, about it. Then it occurs to me that Cory might be amused, but I don't want to interrupt him from his notetaking, so I send him something via the form on boingboing. About two minutes later, I see him open up the CIA site on his laptop, chuckle, then open up Blogger. Sure enough, 3 minutes later the link is up on boingboing. I'm sure it will be through the blogosphere by the morning, with all kinds of intelligent commentary that I was too tired to add. The tools and the velocity of information flow available today are amazing, even if the purposes they are put to aren't always that important....
