Wireless vs. Rush Hour

Wireless vs. Rush Hour 05/20/2004 02:19 PM
My latest article for TheFeature.com is online:

"Each year, Los Angeles drivers spend a combined total of 9,000 years stuck in traffic. Cell phones make it much easier to suffer through the brutal traffic jams that are the bane of city life around the world. Fortunately, wireless technology can also shorten the waiting game of freeway commuting.

From Los Angeles and Seattle to Berlin and Tokyo, city planners and researchers are deploying a slew of wireless sensors, smart street signs, and real-time data services for mobile devices to help manage traffic flow and inform drivers about what they'll face on the road ahead."

Debian: Where should
wewe should go from
here? 06/17/2005 06:46 PM
Debian sarge has finally been released -- now what? If you ask me (and you didn't, but I'm going to tell you anyway), Debian should have two overarching priorities for the next release: 1. putting a timed release cycle in place, so what happened with sarge never happens again; and 2. keeping the growing family of Debian derivatives united around a common core -- namely, Debian itself. What's at stake? If we don't do something about both of these problems, actual and potential, Debian will be irrelevant by the time etch is out.

Iraqi first strike before the American
first strike? 03/15/2003 04:09 AM
ABC news is reporting that the US is worried that Iraq may strike first before we can strike first. I don't wish any harm on the American troops overseas (or on the poor Iraqi soldiers either, for that matter), but the logic of the outrage about this escapes me. We are proclaiming our right to strike preemptively and unilaterally, where we see a threat that might appear in the future, and we are actively preparing to strike at Iraq. What logic allows us to be outraged if Iraq reacts to this threat by striking at the troops ringing her borders? Incidents like these are why the Europeans have concluded that Americans have gone off their rockers....

The Tube Lamp

The Tube Lamp 08/30/2004 08:08 AM

I'm sort of in love with this Tube Lamp by Nik Willmore, which is a really dangerous thing since he lives and works right here in New York. At $225, though, it's almost cheap enough to just get and justify as a heirloom or something. Here's your inheritance, kids, and it glows!

Oh, and if you are worried about getting one just because the bulbs might burn out, apparently the 25-watt tubular bulbs can be gotten almost anywhere, even Home Depot. And of course, you can't forget the finishing touch - the control knob is a chromed replacement for a Fender Telecaster.

Tube escalators to get video ads

Tube escalators to get video ads 04/04/2005 08:05 AM
Cory Doctorow: The London Underground railway (AKA "the tube") has the world's most amazing escalators -- escalator after escalator, ear-poppingly-long marvels of diagonal transport. It's common to see advertisers buying up an entire escalator's worth of ad-space, producing a kind of public transit Burma Shave moment, with each installment heaving into view as the escalator carries you upward.

Now Viacom is piloting video ads -- with audio -- on flat panel displays on the tube escalators. Given how many stickers, blobs of strategically placed chewing gum, and markered-over bon mots you see on the paper ads, this seems an extraordinarily expensive proposition. Yet it does open up the possibility of some pretty cool little films that are optimized to be played in a series of diagonally placed screens to a moving audience. It remains to be seen whether any of the advertisers will rise to it, or whether we'll just get shorter TV commercials.

In a few weeks, Viacom Outdoor plans to start installing 66 screens in the London Underground that are essentially video posters with changing text and animated images. The animated signs are made of liquid crystals that realign under electrical stimulation.
