Eldred Told Not To Hand Out Walden At
Walden Pond 07/19/2004 04:54 PM
Eric Eldred (of Supreme Court fame) recently went to Walden Pond to hand out free copies of David Thoreau's "Walden," which is very much in the public domain these days. He was quickly told to stop because he did not have a permit to hand out free books. The park supervisor claims they told him to leave because handing out free books might interfere with the business prospects of the "Shop at Walden Pond" which sells copies of the book. The executive director of the Thoreau Society, which runs the shop, didn't seem to mind, and the whole thing is somewhat farcical given the nature of "Walden" anyway.

I've always admired Tim Burton's imagination and enjoyed his movies, even if many of them are uneven. Since I missed Big Fish when it was in theaters last year, I've been looking forward to seeing it on DVD. Well, last night I finally watched it - and now I really wish I'd seen it on the big screen.

Forget the poor reviews. This was - by far - his best work, and ranks as one of my favorite movies. Watch it if you get the chance!

(Yeah, I know this has nothing to do with my software, but I'm a movie buff as well as a software guy, so what the heck...)

The Starving Ocean : A large collection of articles by Debbie MacKenzie on the death of the ocean. The idea is that removing most of the fish from the sea might be sort of bad for the marine ecosystem as a whole. Her writing style is a bit kooky, but she has been right on some points (ie. the Grey Seal thing). Oh, and fishing is also responsible for the rise of atmospheric carbon dioxide.

This USB Fish Tank comes with 2 properly buoyant plastic fish and motorized tank complete with cool blue LED. After you fill the tank with appropriate amount of water, drop in the two fish, plug it into an empty USB port on your computer or USB hub than watch the fish go.

The city of Commerce is just fifteen minutes down the freeway from Hollywood, but the Commerce Casino is a thousand miles away from Odessa. There's no alley to walk down, no bouncer to deal with, and you're more likely to talk to a valet than a crackhead on your way into the club.

From The Standard, we drove across the 10 and picked up the 5 in the East LA interchange. Even though it was after ten, it was backed up like rush hour. I pointed at a sign that advised 45 MPH on the turn.

"Since I was sixteen, every time I pass that sign, I laugh. I don't think 45 has ever been a reduction in my speed through here." I said.

Vodafone May Have Bigger Fish To Fry -
Or Not 02/10/2004 05:32 PM
Talk about surprise endings... The big story everyone's been focused on in the wireless world over the past few weeks is the battle for AT&T Wireless. Everyone's been watching what Cingular, DoCoMo and Vodafone are going to do. The latest rumor, though, is that Vodafone might have even bigger ideas in mind. Instead of just looking at the $4 0 billion they might spend on AT&T Wireless, they're exploring the possibility of a $ 150 billion hostile takeover bid of all of Verizon - not just the wireless part (of which, they already own 45%). The plan would then be to sell off the boring non-wireless part of the business and then have full control over Verizon Wireless. Om Malik thinks that this is just a ploy by Vodafone to keep Verizon quiet and willing to buy out Vodafone's 45% of Verizon Wireless without trying to jack up the price. That definitely makes the most sense. Vodafone can do a lot more in pushing their "global" vision with AT&T Wireless (which uses the same network technology as Vodafone around the world) than with Verizon Wireless.

See Inside Your Fish Tank

See Inside Your Fish Tank 03/17/2005 03:52 AM

So we missed this when Red Ferret Journal first talked about it last week, but shiny shiny just picked it up, bless their hearts. The Underwater Tank is an aquarium with a reverse periscope, allowing you to peer into the hearts and souls of your fish, with a feeder positioned right near the scope's lens, letting you watch them eat.

The periscope lets you inspect your fish at their own level, and a fish feeder has been positioned right by the scope's lens, so you can watch your fish feed. Use slow gentle movements so you don’t create turbulence in the water and disturb or frighten your fish.

Or you can look at this the way I do: as a $50.00 Fish Blender.

HHmm - something I have to ask Euan about when I see him on Sept. 13th.....

This from Slashdot.....

bus_stopper copies and pastes: "The BBC is quietly preparing a challenge to Microsoft and other companies jostling to reap revenues from video streams. It is developing code-decode (codec) software called Dirac in an open-source project aimed at providing a royalty-free way to distribute video. The sums at stake are potentially huge because the software industry insists on payment per viewer, per hour of encoded content. This contrasts with TV technology, for which viewers and broadcasters alike make a one-off royalties payment when they buy their equipment." We've mentioned this project before but this story goes into a bit more depth about the goals and motivations of the developers.

CNet: Video codecs battle for prime time. "Experts expect the biggest codec battle to be fought in the cable and satellite business, which has relied on MPEG-2 compression technology for more than a decade. The stakes are highest in this industry because the compression technology will help with the efficient delivery of billions of hours of content viewed every year and define the way people watch television."
