Paul Ford on Google's "Don't be evil"
motto 09/01/2004 05:26 PM
Of course, you don't arrive at a morally profound motto like “don't be evil” without some serious thought. Here are some of the mottoes that Google tried out and rejected: Google! Dance with the devil, but go home before it gets serious. Google! We won't commit genocide in most circumstances. Google! Don't eat no babies. Google! We could do good, but we're like, whoa. Google! Begone, demon! The Banality of Google...

Computing Pioneer Bob Bemer Passes On

Computing Pioneer Bob Bemer Passes On 06/25/2004 08:53 AM

Let's take a moment to honor Bob Bemer, the man who, among other things, invented the ASCII character system, named COBOL, put the backslash into mainstream use, and developed what became the ESC key. He died yesterday at 84 after a battle with cancer. Both technologies -- or at least the technology and the concept, I guess -- have changed the way we compute. If it weren't for people like Bemer, relative dabblers like myself wouldn't have had such great hobbies and careers these last few decades.

Bob Bemer, we give you a hearty :wq! May your compile be without error, and may your shell be always 80 characters. ^D

Half-male, half-female, all crab

Half-male, half-female, all crab 06/17/2005 03:35 PM
David Pescovitz: Fishermen caught a crab in the lower Chesapeake Bay that's literally half male, half female. Among other differences, male blue crabs have deep blue claws while females' claw tips look like they were painted with red nail polish. The fishermen noticed that this particular crab had one of each. Researchers at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science say that the condition, known as bilateral gynandromorphism, is caused by a "chromosomal mishap." Studying the rare animal could increase understanding of crab sexual development and breeding behavior. From the Washington Post:

Before turning over the crab to the scientists, (boat captain David) Johnson and other watermen conducted their own experiment into its sex life, with bewildering results. They dropped a female crab, which was just about ready to mate, into its tank.

First, the half-and-half crab cradled the female under his legs, as a male crab would do in preparation for mating.

Then, the crab seemed to lose interest in the female and let her go, Johnson said.

Then a day later . . .

"He ate half of her," Johnson said.

the mile of the century Fifty years ago today, Roger Bannister, the first man to break the 4-minute mile, and John Landy, who beat his record a month-and-a-half later, squared off in Vancouver BC to determine who was the fastest runner in the history of the world, in what is arguably the most dramatic sporting event of the 20th Century. The record for the mile has gone down astonishingly through the years, but are there limits on how low it can go? (View video of the historic Bannister vs. Landy matchup here.

New original sf on Futurismic

New original sf on Futurismic 07/01/2004 03:34 AM
Futurismic, the excellent sf writers' group blog that's been publishing original fiction, has just published a new story by Ruth Nestvold, an excellent up-and-comer. Jeremy sez, "Also, we opened up our second reading period for new fiction from now until July 31. We pay US$100 per story. Guidelines are at http://www.futu rismic.com/about/guidelines.html and the submission form is at http://www. futurismic.com/contact/index.html#submit"

The reasons I volunteered were hardly simple. When are our motivations ever straightforward? I wanted to prove my own theories of gender and identity, solve one of those big riddles of the universe — are men and women really from different planets? is it nature or nurture? — but there was also the simple element of curiosity. No one had ever acquired both the body and the brain of the opposite sex. And I admit, being the first had a strong attraction for me, doing something that would earn me a place in the history books, put me next to Doreen Kimura and Sigmund Freud.
