A Long Dying Done...

A Long Dying Done... 04/24/2004 12:42 AM
Spalding Gray, as my friend Mountain Girl said, had a very long dying. Part of him died colliding with a mad cow veterinarian in Ireland during the summer of 2001. A lot of him died in cranial surgery on the Upper East Side in September of that year. He literally died in New York Harbor in January. For many, he conclusively died only when his mortal shell surfaced near Greenpoint last month. For myself, I laid him to rest, as much as I ever will, a week ago in the Vivian Beaumont Theater. I have surpassed the usual lifetime quota of memorial services by some long measure but I don't know that I have ever attended one that felt more appropriate to the essence of its focal missing person. Spalding Gray was as present as anyone so absent could possibly be. He was present in the monsoon deluge that soaked me on the way to Lincoln Center. It was a rain where you could drown by looking up, as turkeys are said to sometimes do, and it leaked in streams through the aging 60's roof of the Vivian Beaumont, pooling in several areas of the stage but missing the lonely oak table and its empty chair. He was present in elegant clarity of those who rose to remember him. He was present in their humor and their melancholy, their heartful candor, their diversity. And it was a motley crew it was, ranging from fellow monologuist Eric Bigosian to musician Laurie Anderson to actor Eric Stolz to poet Bob Holman to composer Philip Glass playing a musical sigh for piano and clarinet, to Judy Collins leading us all in "Amazing Grace." There were some perfect moments, like when essayist Roger Rosenblatt, perfectly manicured and patrician, recalled Spalding's prodigious farts. Or when his very close friend Robby Stein talked about Spalding, the weirdly great dad, and you could see his results so clearly in the shy, impish smile that his son Theo wore when he mounted the stage. He provided some of those moments himself, though various video clips from his monologues, his stage performances, and a wonderful out-take from a Barbara Kopple documentary which, though shot after his accident, made it clear that the old Spalding was still with us until his second surgery in September of 2001. In it, there were dogs howling in the background, and his visible appreciation of them reminded me of the time that he convinced me and another friend to bay like wolves with him in a fancy Tribeca restaurant. And a whole table full of Wall Street swells howled back. He will have another memorial service for family and close friends in Sag Harbor on May 15, and I expect that the virtual monument you are building here with your comments will continue to grow. But I'm am going to get back to blogging about other things now. I'm very glad that I was able to provide a place for this to happen, but I feel like it's time for me to move on. In closing this chapter, here are the brief remarks I read at the Vivian Beaumont, condensed in part from things I've said here. I've said my piece and I will let Spuddy rest in his....

WebMonkey is Dying

WebMonkey is Dying 02/17/2004 04:58 PM

Webmonkey, RIP: 1996 – 2004: WebMonkey is where I learned everything I told the interviewer I knew in the three weeks between the job interview and my first day. My first relational database design came from a tutorial on this site.

Webmonkey, the site that turned humble Web developers into attention-grabbing authors, said last week it is closing down following a round of layoffs in the U.S. division of its parent company, Terra Lycos (also the parent company of Wired News). Judging by blog posts and e-mails, the site's fans aren't surprised. Still, they're sad to see the end of an era.

Why the Windows API is Dying

Why the Windows API is Dying 06/17/2004 06:45 AM

How Microsoft Lost the API War: This is an incredibly long, but very interesting, article from Joel Spolsky in which he explains why the venerable Windows API is dying. He spends 6,252 fasinating words and a couple of dozen tangents getting to this point at the end:

[...] Microsoft's API doesn't matter so much. Web applications don't require Windows. [...]

I'm actually a little bit sad about this, myself. To me the Web is great but Web-based applications with their sucky, high-latency, inconsistent user interfaces are a huge step backwards in daily usability. I love my rich client applications and would go nuts if I had to use web versions of the applications I use daily [...]

None of this bodes well for Microsoft and the profits it enjoyed thanks to its API power. The new API is HTML, and the new winners in the application development marketplace will be the people who can make HTML sing.

He also says this about .Net, which will make my friend Matt feel happy and vindicated because I razz him all the time about being a Microsoft whore:

Much as I hate to say it, a huge chunk of developers have long since moved to the web and refuse to move back. Most .NET developers are ASP.NET developers, developing for Microsoft's web server. ASP.NET is brilliant; I've been working with web development for ten years and it's really just a generation ahead of everything out there.

There you go Matt, now leave me alone.

The Dying Art of Bullet Making

The Dying Art of Bullet Making 06/24/2005 07:07 PM

Who knew that bullet making was quickly becoming an old fashioned activity? I you want a low tech how-to, this one’s for you: “Like darning socks, making bullets is a dying art. Used to be just about everyone with a need for ammo poured their own, using iron or even wooden molds. These days only a few diehard hobbyists still do it, and they use aluminum molds. But even fewer people still make silver bullets….

Now The Cassette Tape Is Dying?

Now The Cassette Tape Is Dying? 06/17/2005 03:33 PM
Earlier this week, we thought the VHS tape was dying, but that turned out to be a slight exaggeration. However, the VHS's older brother, the audio cassette tape may actually be on its last legs. The article notes, of course, that when the recordable cassette tape first came out, the recording industry freaked out and claimed that it would be the death of music (sound familiar?). Instead, it helped grow the music business, in part because of the ability for people to create mix tapes and give them to others to help introduce them to new music.

CDs Dying Out, But So Are Many Music
Downloading Stores 01/26/2004 03:29 AM
I doubt this is all that surprising to most people, but Forrester is predicting a shift from the CD to buying downloadable music, while at the same time predicting that about half of the current music download stores will go out of business by the end of the year. I think they're being a bit optimistic on both predictions. I'm still not convinced the CD is going to go away that quickly. While I also agree that many of the music download stores aren't long for this world, I'd be surprised if most of the current ones didn't at least make it through a year - but perhaps not much longer than that.

“Dying stars, called planetary nebulae, very often have rings such as those seen in this image, astronomers have found. This photo depicts the Cat’s Eye Nebula, one such dying star. It’s 3,000 light years away. The rings, found in at least one third of all planetary nebulae, may be the key to explaining the final “gasp” of the central star as it bursts apart. Scientists describe these rings as a “nested Russian doll” structure, but…
