Geek Conferences: Nothing to Fear but
Fear Itself

Geek Conferences: Nothing to Fear but
Fear Itself 02/16/2004 05:37 AM
Is the O'Reilly Emerging Technologies Conference elitist? This question seems to be stirring up the blogosphere, and causing lots of good people who I read and like to throw verbal bricks at each other. I thought that as someone who is clearly not a member of the blogging elite, I might have a useful perspective to offer. Is the conference elitist? Of course it is - and no, it isn't. Both are true. It is elitist in the sense that it requires interest, knowing that the conference is going to happen, and being able to come up with the large amounts of time and money to attend. This rules out a very large proportion of the world. However, if someone is motivated and willing to rough it, it is possible to attend the conference for a lot less money than the standard cost of the conference and swanky hotel. In my case I found cheap late night flights on Southwest, stayed in a very cheap hostel (though not as cheap as the hacker loft crash pad), and got a free pass to the conference by writing and asking Tim O'Reilly nicely for one -- I saw other free passes being given away via the Wiki. So the money doesn't have to be the huge barrier it seems like at first, but attending does require a bit of luck and or chutzpah, geographical proximity, and being willing to stay in considerably less than stellar accommodations. The conference can also feel elitist because so many of the people who attend know each other. Many of them have long-standing professional, technical and personal ties (and ongoing feuds). If, like me, you are somewhat reticent by nature, you don't have ties to lots of people at the conference, and you don't have any particular product or idea to promote, it can be easy to feel intimidated or like an outsider surrounded by insiders. For instance, one day of the conference I ran into Dan Gillmor, Doc Searls, Micah Sifry and Scott Rosenberg at a cafe next door to the conference. I read 3 out of 4 of them regularly, I respect their work a lot, and I would have enjoyed sitting at their lunch table and listening to them talk. Did they invite me to join them for lunch? Of course not, no more than I would invite a random stranger I saw...

Libraries Have Nothing to Fear [about
RSS] but Fear Itself 07/14/2004 01:32 AM

Fear of RSS

"However, whether or not to use RSS on your site should no longer be an option. I believe it has become a necessity if you wish to compete with others in your industry....

For many users today, bookmarks have become useless since we have too many of them. Bookmarks allow for information overload just as easily as RSS does, but the difference is that RSS allows updates through all that information overload. A bookmark gets hidden, but if you update your site then the RSS feed will reflect that and tell the reader its time to view the content....

With the plethora of sites around fighting for the mindshare of your readers becomes essential. Why lessen your chances by not including a RSS feed? That opens the gates for everyone else to increase their readership. RSS feeds create more opportunities and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages." [BusinessLogs, via del.icio.us/tag/rss]

Welcome to Your Disease Risk, the source on prevention. If you were looking for Your Cancer Risk, don’t worry. You’re in the right place. We’ve simply expanded. Now, in addition to cancer, you can find out your risk of four other important diseases and, as always, get personalized tips for preventing them. Your Disease Risk is an educational website developed by the Harvard Center for Cancer Prevention. Based at the Harvard School of Public Health, the Center promotes prevention as the primary approach to controlling cancer and other chronic diseases.

The Your Disease Risk site began as the Harvard Cancer Risk Index, a pen and paper cancer risk assessment tool first put together in the mid 1990’s by the Risk Index Working Group at Harvard University. In 1999, the Risk Index was adapted to the Web as Your Cancer Risk. Then, to give even greater emphasis to the importance of healthy behaviors, Your Cancer Risk was expanded to include assessments for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and osteoporosis. The expanded site was renamed Your Disease Risk and offers the follows risks assessments online:

What's Your Cancer Risk?
What's Your Diabetes Risk?
What's Your Heart Disease Risk?
What's Your Osteoporosis Risk?
What's Your Stroke Risk?

A disease in the Breedster ecosystem... 04/25/2004 07:14 AM

There's so much I could write about Breedster if I had the time. I could write about the interesting way it handles new members (you have to put work in to getting food and finding a partner before you can create a new user account and plug someone into it). I could talk about the possibilities of gaming / message-board overlaps and some of the slightly-abortive work that Cal and I did on the not-open-for-business The Mafia Game site. I could talk about the gaming aspects of maintaining a community and the congruence between gaming rule-sets and political rule-sets. I could write about lots of things. There's loads of stuff I could talk about that's interesting (to me) here. Instead I'm just going to report that a friend of mine has just contracted a disease in the game - they've released an infestation that can affect your bug's digestive tract and make it harder for you to build up enough strength to fornicate. Watch out everyone, there's infected poop about. This is a disease of the colon that could (and please forgive me for this) run and run!
