419 Scams As A Way Of Keeping Up On
Current Events 04/14/2004 11:51 AM
I'm beginning to think that it could be an interesting subject to study what cultural/national situations are referenced by 419 "advance fee" scam emails. While the most common such email comes from Nigeria, they've adjusted over time to pick up on other countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan. Now, they're trying to pick up on events, like the Olympics. They all look pretty much the same, though - and if you're pattern matching ability is so weak that you can't realize this is the exact same scam you've got other problems. Still, some people continue to fall for such scams on a regular basis.

Brian Foy: "Now that I have Panther, I can play around with Image Events. Prior to this, I used Perl to read in an image from my phone, scale it to 320x240, then add a black border around the image. Now Applescript makes this really easy. Cobbling together a couple of scripts from the Apple web site, I get the job done in a very Mac like way."

Upcoming events of note

Upcoming events of note 06/03/2004 09:56 PM
June is always a time that's slightly crazed for me (in a good way): it's the month when I celebrate both my birthday and my wedding anniversary; plus it's solstice time, when the days are longest and (for light-seeking souls like me) spirits highest. It's also the period, in the trough between Memorial Day and the start of high vacation season, when lots of events get planned. Here's some that are on my horizon: This Sunday I'm heading off to the Wall Street Journal's "D" Conference, run by Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg -- featuring, among others, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Last year, I understand they shared a stage (I wasn't there to confirm the executive convergence). We'll see if that tradition continues.

Next Friday, the same Long Now Foundation series that hosted Brian Eno's amazing talk last fall will present Bruce Sterling, at Fort Mason in San Francisco. If you've ever heard Sterling's seemingly free-associational -- but really, I'm convinced, carefully choreographed -- riffing, you know it's a treat. The topic? "The Singularity: Your Future as a Black Hole."

Last year, the Digital Storytelling Festival in Sedona was a blast. I can't make it to this year's event -- June 10-12, in Sedona once more -- but it promises to be even better, with J.D. Lasica talking about his "DarkNet" project and lots of other folks presenting their work.

Finally, Supernova returns to the Bay Area June 24-25. A year and a half ago, Kevin Werbach's first conference served as a great intro to the issues around Wi-Fi, Web services, and other grassroots-driven, geek-centered technologies whose adoption has begun to fuel a new wave of Silicon Valley buzz. It'll be interesting to see where Werbach takes these subjects now that it has begun to move from the edge to the mainstream.

Events are coming into focus

Is it me - or are Events suddenly becoming the 'micro-content' of choice nowadays?

E ric Rice:

It's a dorky post, but this one's for John. To celebrate, here's the iCal link for the Dodgers' Calendar.

The new eVite - from the Wash Post.....

But needless to say momentum has been building for years behind a standard for events. UpComing.org needs to break out beyond it's current data silo.

So I guess the question is: "where's OpenEvents?"

Upcoming events in Keene, NH 03/22/2005 05:12 PM
In the fall of 2003, the Many-to-Many blog announced Andy Baio's upcoming.org, a collaborative event calendar. Ray Ozzie noticed, and asked a bunch of questions about calendar formats and mechanisms for syndicating and aggregating events. I weighed in with some examples of the XHTML microcontent techniques that I was (and still am) exploring. But eighteen months later it's clear that we were just philosophers debating how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. None of our arcane technical discussions really mattered because upcoming.org hasn't gone viral the way del.icio.us did. This isn't just my own observation. Recently someone in Edinburgh asked: "Why is upcoming.org not more popular?" ...

World Events Database

World Events Database 08/10/2004 05:43 PM

Here's something they need to add to Wikipedia: a world events database. So many notable things happen in the world from day-to-day that it'd be nice to have a database of them, a running record, a blog, if you will.

Wikipedia has yearly and daily entries, like Laci Peterson murder trial (actually, I don't need to know this, because my wife is glued to CourtTV and keeps me updated whether I like it or not, but it's an example...). With a flat database table and a good keywording system, I could look these all up and connect to the related Wikipedia entries.

Thoughts on this?

What's the best approach for events and
schedules?

What's the best approach for events and
schedules? 05/23/2004 03:19 PM

Here's another good Scoble post.  I am TOTALLY interested in contacting this guy.  I would NEVER have found out about this - if it wasn't for Robert and his 1,400+ feeds.  Thanks Robert.

Alex proposes RDF extensions to RSS to handle schedules.

Alex Kolesnichenko has a proposal for RSS 1.0 and Atom that is interesting -- he's trying to find a way to send schedule information down via syndication feeds.

Syndication experts? How is this approach? Is there a simpler way to do it?

[Scobleizer: Microsoft Geek Blogger]

Now we just gotta figure out which is a better approach - this or ESF?

Lorraine Breen of the IEE writes, "I am organising a robotics lecture, presented by Ian Watts from Robot Wars, in Birmingham, UK on Thursday 10 March 2005." The lecture is titled, "Robots in Action" and deals primarily with the control systems and power source of the radio controlled vehicles used on the Robot Wars and Battlebots TV shows. There may also be a guest appearance by a Dalek. Meanwhile, Malika Andress of The National Space Centre in Leicester writes, "The National Space Centre is looking to host a Robot Month in May.
