"A young French couple has been charged with a crime for not preventing a friend from driving while very drunk, and thereby provoking an accident in which five people died, their lawyer said on Monday." You think that's wacky, check this part out: "According to the daily France Soir, the case is especially ironic since Jean-Sebastien and Angelique have both been the victims of drunken drivers, with the latter confined to a wheelchair since the age of 16."

Take Me Home, I'm Drunk: The Killer App
For Mobile Phones? 04/16/2004 06:32 PM
The BBC is reporting on a new prototype piece of software designed for some students for smart phones that would act as a "student companion" of sorts. It apparently has a variety of features (not very many of which are described in the article) to help with both academic and social lives. Of course, the feature that (not surprisingly) gets the most attention is an application called "Take Me Home, I'm Drunk" which, when started, calls a taxi company and notifies them of the student's location - and their home address. People have always said that it would be the vices such as porn and gambling that became the "killer app" for mobile phones. Now, perhaps, we can add alcohol to that list as well.

1st Workshop on Friend of a Friend,
Social Networking and the Semantic Web

1st Workshop on Friend of a Friend,
Social Networking and the Semantic Web 06/21/2004 01:50 PM

Call for papers, come for the party or just come and hang out.

You can't be a decent standard if you don't have a conference.

Topics

The FOAF (Friend of a Friend) project explores a unique combination of themes from social networking, search engines, knowledge representation and software development. FOAF was designed as a practical experiment that would highlight the technical, social and business challenges raised by the next generation of "Semantic" Web technology. Over the past few years, the FOAF developer community has been working on standards-based techniques for publishing and harvesting machine-readable descriptions of people, the links between them, and the things they create and do. The working assumption of the project is that such techniques will underpin the deployment of the next generation of Web technology, W3C's "Semantic Web". The FOAF project was created in the expectation that these machine-readable descriptions will grow, as the Semantic Web platform matures, to cover companies, organisations, documents, groups, products, file sharing and many other aspects of life, both online and off. The time has come to evaluate these assumptions in the context of the opportunities and challenges presented by the rise of FOAF and the Semantic Web.

Social networking is a recent topic gaining much interest and publicity. Social networking sites are community sites where users can maintain an online network of friends or associates for social or business purposes: whether looking for a job, reconnecting with old friends, moving to a new area, or dating. Most of these sites are based on a centralised architecture: all users' descriptions are stored in one big database. There is, however, growing user and business interest in portability between such sites, and for sophisticated "single sign-on" mechanisms that reduce the need for data re-entry, while allowing users to manifest different aspects of themselves in different contexts. FOAF-based import/export allows such sites to address user demand for control of "their" data; however, many deployment, privacy, authentication and engineering issues have not yet been fully explored. To what extent do mechanisms such as FOAF change the environment they attempt to describe? How can the visibility of personal data be restricted to certain audiences? How can businesses make money when their customers can migrate to new services with increased ease?

This workshop on FOAF, social networking and the Semantic Web provides a first chance to discuss the unusual combination of perspectives - academic and scientific, engineering, social, legal and business - drawn together by these trends. The workshop aims to bring together for the first time researchers interested in the effects, analysis and application of social networks on the (Semantic) Web as well as practitioners building applications and infrastructure. The workshop will also try to give a snapshot of current developments, as well as setting a roadmap for the future of both FOAF and social networking - especially in the context of the Semantic Web.

Topics of interest for full papers include, but are not limited to the following:

* Social network metadata standards
* Trust issues in social networks
* Profiles of FOAF, subsets, mapping to other vocabularies and formats
* Federated digital identity, single sign-on (decentralized identity management)
* Business models for the Semantic Web (life after banner advertisements)
* Integration with desktop and mobile applications (chat, IM, P2P, Bluetooth, address books, RSS/Atom)
* Privacy, etiquette and best practice issues for aggregators
* Infrastructure for social networking
* Applications of online social networking
* Knowledge management with social networks
* Mathematical analysis of social networks
* Exchange of social network information
* Applications of online social networks
* Shared annotations
* Use of digital signatures and encryption with RDF/XML
* RDF-based search engines, data harvesting and syndication
* GUIs (browsers, editors) for FOAF and Semantic Web data
* Formalisms that address practical problems of heterogenous changing data
* Pragmatics of sharing data schemas across subtly different datasets

Today's news oddity: In October 1973, U.S.-Soviet tensions were peaking over the Arab-Israeli war, and British Prime Minister Edward Heath's office called the White House just before 8 p.m. to ask to speak with Nixon. "Can we tell them no?" Kissinger asked his assistant, Brent Scowcroft. "When I talked to the president, he was loaded." It's funnier if you read the above in Kissinger's voice.

World Record for Drunk

World Record for Drunk 12/20/2003 05:03 PM
"The unidentified middle-aged man was unconscious but stable after a blood test showed 7.22 parts per million of alcohol, police spokeswoman Ieva Zvidre said. An average person would vomit at around 1.2, lose consciousness at 3.0 and stop breathing at a level of about 4.0 parts per million, Zvidre said, adding: 'This is one for the Guinness Book of Records.'"

Now, just because they used that term, you know someone's going to try and break it.
