I hope this is the most clever of clever pranks . . . because it's much, much better that way.

"The JL421 Badonkadonk is a completely unique, extremely rare land vehicle and battle tank.

[snip]

Standard drive is an air-cooled, 6hp Tecumseh gasoline (unleaded only) engine, with centrifugal clutch, giving the Donk a top speed of 40 mph. This vehicle is not licensed for use on public roads, and is intended as a recreational vehicle only.

1 person recommended Star Wars A New Hope 12" Figure: Obi-Wan Kenobi Tatooine Encounter instead of JL421 Badonkadonk Land Cruiser/Tank"

"Since ALA, we all have known that the Canadian library schools are really putting out some top librarian talent. But who knew they had a fashion sense as well. The students from the SLIS at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia are hawking some mighty fine librarian t-shirts, possibly ones even too racy to wear to work. And, 'action figure' aside, my favorite one has to be the NLA shirt." [librarian.net]

Filelist and Wishlist

Filelist and Wishlist 05/09/2004 07:55 PM

My recent burst of interest in P2P networks stems from the idea of sharing wishlists which I mentioned in my comment about CleverCactus Share.  Diego expressed some enthusiasm about the idea so there is a good chance it will appear in ClearCactus Share.

But my mind is already leaping forward exploring generalizations and mutations of the basic idea of sharing and seemlessly integrating the capability into the operating system.  To power this exploration, I am asking questions like:

• What is a file?
• What does it mean to share?
• How can I share something without having it?
• How can I share nameless, locationless, temporary, and formless objects?
• What if everything is shared by default?
• What if bots are loosened into the shared space?

Many of the answers seem to point to a need to review some basic assumptions pounded into us by file systems and databases like names, locations, queries, etc.

If you drag a file from here to there, people expect the object to move from here to there and also expect the operation to take some time.

If the object is a wish, meaning it will arrive sometime in the future, dragging it from here to there could mean it should be moved there when it arrives.  That's like an instruction.  But people usually don't give instructions to empty air.  Is it better to introduce a bot-like objects or should future actions or 'promises' be turned into an object?

There is also the problem of having too many P2P networks.  They can be abstracted or hidden behind other shapes and forms.  At that point, even services like eBay and Amazon can be thrown into the mesh.  An auction involves someone wanting to sell something they either own or can provide.  Drag and drop this from here to there and eventually a real-world object is 'downloaded' to someone's doorstep.  All this is nice except abstraction and usuability don't often walk hand-in-hand.

I know that I am overstepping the bounds of practicality in many areas, but overreaching is often useful when searching through the solution space.  Anyway, these are kind of things I occupy weekends with these days.

Wishlist: Google Newsreader

Wishlist: Google Newsreader 06/19/2002 01:10 PM
David Cancel writes in to say that he'd be willing to pay a monthly/yearly fee to be able to read the Google newsgroups with a regular newsreader. Unfortunately, as stated in the FAQ, this is not currently possible. I agree, there are many nice newsreaders which are more convenient for comprehensive newsgroup reading (as opposed to simply searching, which Google Groups is great at) which I would like to use to read these groups. As it stands, I can't remember to go back to the websites and check them each day.

I've created a Perl script that generates an RSS feed from your Amazon wishlist contents, including prices and Amazon book links. Fixed the ISBN/ASIN bug, now defaults book links to ISBN.nu instead of Amazon (for cheaper purchasing).

Today as I sent an IM to a friend correcting a their/there/they're use in a blog post, it reminded me that I should post a lazyweb request for an MT plugin I've always wanted.

I want a MT plugin that will let a select group of my closest, most trusted friends correct typos in text and URLs on my blog posts and republish their changes without my intervention. If I'm gone for a couple days and improperly used your when I meant you're, I'd love it if a friend fixed that while I was away. I first got the idea when I was trying to think of ways to make Orkut or Friendster useful. If there was some API to those apps that let MT know if someone was a best friend or life partner-level connection, they could be granted temporary edit rights on my blog (maybe Flickr's API could let this work for people I designate as a friend and family member, which seems to be the closest form of relationship there).

Ideally, I'd like an easy way to say that 4 or 5 people I trust could make edits. And I suppose the edits should be checked before and after, with a certain byte count limit, lest you allow your friends to completely rewrite your post. An email telling me what took place would be nice, but I'd like my friends to go ahead and save their changes, with a way for me to rescue the earlier pre-edit entry just in case.

Actually, maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to allow anyone to suggest an edit on the post, sending me an email, with a one-click way to approve or disapprove it. Maybe after a random stranger has properly corrected me half a dozen times, I could elevate their status to having republish rights on the edits so I wouldn't have to approve them anymore.

A plugin like this would basically wiki-ize the weblog world, allowing readers to participate and correct small mistakes. I often write in margins of books and email authors all the little typos I found while reading their novel, but this would put that kind of power right into anyone's hands. In the world of programming they say "given a million eyeballs, all bugs are shallow" and maybe in this case, given a million editors, all typos will be fixed.

It can't be impossible to make this happen, right?
