Gareth
Branwyn points us to some spectacular spleen-venting over the case
of Alzheimer's that America appears to be having over Ronald Reagan's
presidency. Tom Carson in the
Village Voice. Sorry for the
spoiler, but here's the final line: "The best that can be said for
Ronald Reagan is that, if George W. Bush gets re-elected, we may yet
end up missing him."
Ronald Reagan is the man who destroyed America's sense of reality -- a
paltry target, all in all, given our predilections. It only took an
actor: the real successor to John Wilkes Booth. In our bones, we had
always been this sort of bullshit-craving country anyhow, founded on
abstractions: not land (somebody else's), not people (Red Rover, Red
Rover, send Emma Lazarus right over), not even shared history
(nostalgia isn't the same thing, and try pulling that Civil War
Shinola anywhere west of the Rio Grande). Just monumental words and
wordy monuments, with two convenient oceans between them and
circumstance; from Nat Turner's status as three-fifths of a man --
even though we ended up hanging all of him -- to Reagan's child
Lynndie England (b. 1983, the year we invaded Grenada and lost 241
Marines in Lebanon), any shortfall could be blamed on something lost
in translation. But it was Reagan, whose most profound Freudian slip
was the immortal "Facts are stupid things," who beguiled us into
living in the theme park full-time, and so much for the Declaration of
Independence's prattle about "a decent respect to the opinions of
mankind" -- actually the only time we ever expressed much concern for
those. Since his 1980 opponent, Jimmy Carter, was about the sorriest
embodiment of the reality principle imaginable -- Three's Company's
Mr. Roper on the world-historical stage -- facts didn't have a prayer.

06/14/2004 03:33 AMSome people take sleep very seriously. Not getting enough sleep is
much more dangerous than most people realize, but it's become more
common in our society for people to be chronically sleep deprived.
The problem is apparently quite an issue in Japan, where Matsushita
has
developed a $30,000 sleep room system designed to help
ease you into and out of sleep. The system includes an automatically
adjusting bed, a TV showing soothing images, a sound system playing
relaxing sounds and (my personal favorite) a bed designed to massage
you gently into sleep. The system can be used for a cat nap or a full
night's sleep. Either way, it appears that folks in Japan are quite
excited about this sort of research - as an associated picture with
the article shows

LazyWeb, while you sleep
04/10/2005 02:16 PMI often have dreams that feature technology ideas, but I don't
always remember them and more often than not they're just goofy ideas.
This morning's dream is somewhat in the goofy category but might be
useful to some, and since I remember all of it in detail I'll relate
it here.
So I'm stopping by Andy's office
in Santa Monica to go have lunch (I think I was on a roadtrip in my
dream), and while he steps away to grab his jacket I notice there's an
IM window scrolling past with loads of text. When he gets back a few
seconds later I ask him what that is, and he says he's watching the
Simpsons over IM.
I say "you're doing what? how?" and he explains it, and this is way
more detail than I normally remember in dreams, but I thought it was
such a cool idea I think I kind of "saved" it so I would remember
later. So he goes on, explaining how he built a chatbot that is wired
to a stream of TV closed captioning, so you add captionbot to your
buddy list, then talk to it. You ask it what's on TV right now, and it
returns a list of shows, you pick a show and it starts streaming out
dialogue from characters, directly via closed caption data. "It's like
watching a show in text" I say and then we go off to lunch.
And that's all I remember. Andy built a really cool text
adventure bot last year, and TVeyes is basically Technorati for TV
(though they predate Technorati by several years), searching caption
histories for words or phrases. I doubt you can get real time caption
data and I'm not even sure if reading a tv show would be interesting,
but I figured I'd share the dream with everyone, in case someone feels
like building it.

Dead pixels instead of dead trees
12/22/2004 01:49 AMI love books, I love browsing stacks, I love libraries, I love
Powell's in Portland, I like collecting books, I always have a stack
nearby to read, I love looking through picture books, and I love books
even though I didn't really become much of a reader until the end of
my college years (I never read for fun until then). Plunging into the
Internet fed my book addiction further, as I had to read dozens of
computer classics to get up to speed and stay ahead of the curve.
Every computer desk I've had until recently was flanked by bookshelves
loaded with titles.
Earlier this year, I remember hearing Cory
Doctorow give a talk about how ebooks were going to rule the world
and folks would abandon the printed page for the laptop screen. I
thought it was a good talk, but I felt the thesis was a bit ahead of
its time. There's really no comparison between curling up with a book
and a blanket in front of a fireplace, versus trying to read thousands
of words on a screen.
Last weekend I was doing some house cleaning and I kept finding
stacks of books. A stack next to the reading chairs.
A stack on the coffee table. A stack beside my bed. All these stacks
contained books I bought in 2004, but never read. Some, I got halfway
through, but even more I got maybe ten pages in. A few I never even
cracked open.
When I think back to the last three books I enjoyed, they were all
heard on my iPod,
while on a road trip. I can't recall the last book I finished in
my hands.
I'm going to take a holiday trip soon to a fairly remote location
where there's not much to do besides read. I'm going to sit and read
the
only book I've wanted to read this year, and I have a feeling it
might just be one of the last dead tree books I read for a long
time.
As much as I didn't agree with Cory back during his E-tech talk,
I'm finally realizing it's coming true in my own life. I read
thousands of words everyday on my monitors and I rarely take time to
read anything on the printed page, and there's no sign of reversal on
that trend. The scariest thing for the bookfan inside me is that I
don't think it's bad thing, either.
Long live the ebook. Long live the audiobook. So long, dead
trees.
