Sure, it isn’t a peek at what has got to be the most intriguing offering to come down the old Hasbro pike, but the image above does shed a little light on the direction the toymakers are going with the new The Original Trilogy line. Coming from a very reliable source, this logo is almost certainly the real deal (though it may only be used for promotion), and with the truly vintage feel it has, there is little doubt the figures that will come in this series will be just as cool…

Ate too much meat, drank too much alcohol, and met an surprisingly large number of interesting people. (Thanks to everyone - especially all the beautiful maidens on Friday - and apologies for being so subdued most of the time. I really did enjoy myself, even if I didn't always look the part. :)

I have the most distressing possible week coming up I can think of (barring accidents). Why is work always so hectic around this time of the year?

Perhaps I need a walkabout. Something in me wants to just go.

Wired's things of the past

Wired's things of the past 11/05/2003 03:00 AM
Phil Gyford -- late of Wired UK -- has come up with a list of things that Wired magazine has called "a thing of the past." Wired was the first mag I ever found that put its full text online in a searchable archive: clearly, this is the kind of thing that fulltext-search was meant to enable.

Incessant calling and voicemails might become a thing of the past
Long delays in counting absentee ballots would be a thing of the past
Housework is already a thing of the past
In just 20 years, chores will be a thing of the past
Hard landings would be a thing of the past
Paying royalties for George Gershwin tunes could become a thing of the past
Remembering long lists of website passwords [will be] a thing of the past
Chronic insomia could be a thing of the past
Could the deafening roar of gas-powered engines become a thing of the past?
Entertainment as a passive group experience is a thing of the past

Condemned To Repeat The Past?

Condemned To Repeat The Past? 04/13/2005 06:17 AM
Last week, I mentioned one of the lessons learned from Andy Kessler's newest book, How We Got Here: A Slightly Irreverent History of Technology and Markets. I've just finished reading it, and just in time, as well, since you can now check it out for free. While the hard copy version doesn't come out until June, Kessler is releasing the book for free download off his site in e-book form. If you read his previous book, Running Money, you might even recognize a few short passages in the new book. In Running Money, Kessler goes through his own experience figuring out the mental model that guided his investment philosophy in technology -- and part of that included a brief history lesson in the start of the industrial revolution. HWGH is basically an extended version of that history lesson, written in the same light tone -- designed to be the basic, quick history manual that anyone in the tech world (in just about any capacity, from engineer to business to investing) should read. Indeed, we're already seeing startups and companies making business decisions that seem like they're following the same bad footsteps companies took only five years ago. Is it any surprise that some are repeating the mistakes of 200 years ago as well? One of the worst things in the tech and business world these days is that many people can't view trends out past a quarter (or they simply extract one single trend, without recognizing how others impact them). Any intelligent business person needs to recognize how trends play out in the long term, and how they interact with each other. HWGH gives you plenty of trends from the past few centuries to help guide you into that longer term thinking.

Moving Past GormanGate

Moving Past GormanGate 03/14/2005 06:22 PM

Indulge me for a moment while I play catch-up and note that I, too, have added the “Blog Person” button to the right-hand column on my web site, right above the “RSS bigot” one. I note this mainly because some folks have wondered where it should link to, and I’ve chosen to point to a Technorati search for “michael gorman bloggers.”

Lots of people sent me links to the controversy while I was out sick (thanks!), and others have asked for my opinion on the whole thing. I think you know where I stand, and I don’t really have anything to add that is more complex or eloquent than what has already been written. I don’t think Gorman should resign, but I do worry that he has alienated a large contingent of people who could have helped both him and ALA in general. My biggest fear, though, is that he doesn’t even realize this (kind of like another president we all know), which doesn’t bode well for the coming year.

However, I’m not writing this to re-hash the debate. Instead, I think it’s time to move past GormanGate and look to the future, let bygones be bygones, and maybe even make a little money. You see, I think we’ll probably see many more Gorman editorials as he becomes the official President of ALA. Therefore, I think we should kill two birds with one stone and start a pool to guess what his next topic will be. This will allow us to prepare for the worst, while also providing financial gain for the correct prognosticators.

Of course, this won’t be easy, as there are so many different possibilities. I’m having a difficult time choosing just one:

• No serious conversation has ever occurred over instant messaging. Academic thoughts written as text should be read sequentially, providing a reflection period for each and every sentence in order to understand its full significance.
• No serious music has ever been listened to as an MP3. I doubt that these digital music downloaders have ever listened to an entire album in order, let alone a symphony. Don’t even get me started on MP3 audiobooks, girlfriend!
• No serious information has ever been transmitted over a cell phone conversation. To be properly savored, like fine wine, conversation must take place sequentially and in person. Otherwise, meaning and context will be completely lost to the listener, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the information being conveyed. Even the act of ordering a pizza requires close human interaction in order to demonstrate the urgency and complex nuances necessary to obtaining the best possible convergence of toppings and crust.

Add your best guess and place your bets!

The future and past of journalism

The future and past of journalism 06/05/2005 11:34 PM
Scott Rosenberg has written a very nice essay on the future of journalism in the age when anyone can publish. He has caught the moment that we stand in well, with the old media monopolies dying but not dead, and the new media struggling to be born, but not clear what it will be born as. He captures well a phenomenon that experienced in my teens and will never forget, the experience of having someone report on something you know well, and discovering how flawed and human supposedly authoritative institutions like major newspapers are. In my case, I was living in Niger in West Africa, and I once met the Washington Post journalist who was responsible for covering the entire continent of Africa (which is by itself an amazing fact). He spent 5 days in the country and then left, not to return again for a year or so, and on the basis of those 5 days wrote 5 or so articles on events and trends in Niger, each of which contained things stated as facts that I thought were patently false. It was a good learning experience for a future political activist. I suspect that, in spite of the many reasons why the existing institutions and practicioners of journalism should be able to see the writing on the wall, we are entering another period of Schumpeterian Creative Destruction. I also suspect that what arises from the ashes that we will recognize as journalism will arise from the mix of new sources like blogs, group blogs, indymedia, PLOS, Kuroshin, etc. not from the transformation of existing institutions....
