05/21/2004 05:31 AMTen of 14 counties that had their e-voting machines decertified by the
state are close to meeting the secretary of state's stipulations for
recertification. Some touch-screen machines will probably be ready for
November elections after all. By Kim Zetter.
On being in California...
On being in California...
03/14/2005 05:52 PMI'm on the train between Los Angeles and San Diego listening to
Orbital and overwhelmed by how alien and beautiful the industrial
landscape outside my window is. I'm travelling backwards all the way
which probably means something. There are lots full of identical
vehicles. One lot full of blue tanker trucks. Another full of white
articulated lorry fronts. Lined up and perfect. There are buildings
with connected trailers and bays numbered one to eight-eight. Train
tracks curl around them. Piles of rusting metal sit under repeating
arches. Large open machines turn into buildings with little evidence
of where one ends and the other begins. Everything's punctuated by
massive pylons and palm trees. There's graffiti everywhere, and it
doesn't look fake like it does all over London. It looks like it was
born here.
It's probably my clumsy sleep patterns that make everything here
seem hallucinogenically orchestrated. It all seems to be begging for a
soundtrack. The whole city feels like Koyaanisqatsi from the
train.
My seat on the train has a power socket by it, which I find strange
but useful. The man in the onboard café car apologised for having to
stow everything away and made a joke about bean counters. I've met a
man from two television series and found that a friend's friend lives
off internet poker. Words in roads and signs: peerless, thermo,
blister, motor, rivera, pioneer, mason, cord. Everything's either made
of wood, metal, concrete or meat. Colours come in stripes -
pink/brown, white, grey, white, pink-brown, green, yellow, dust.
One other thing I've noticed here is how strange the quality of
light is. It's about as grey and overcast here as it ever is in
London, but there's still something different about it. More
apocalyptic. Possibly it's because everything is designed to be seen
in the bright sunshine - the primal colours of signs and adverts look
like they're clashing with the world. And the buildings - designed to
contrast with the blues and whites of the normal sky - blend into it
now. It's like the natural order of the world is upside down. The smog
is interesting too - American television often looks blurrier than
Englih television. I think traditionally the resolution wasn't as
good. Still there's something weirdly true about thinking of this
place as lacking resolution. I think the smog in the air makes
everything look less defined. A clear bright day in London in the
spring makes everything seem so real. Here it makes it feel
cartoonishly beautiful. Fascinating that light quality could have such
an effect. I still remember the peculiar emotional charge that
everything had in Helsinki in spring a few years back - the richness
of the yellows and oranges - the sense that this light had something
added to it that was more fundamental than the shallow shimmers we
suffered with in England.
I'm meeting up with Biddulph
and Hammond in Oceanside in a
couple of hours. More later...

California Says No More Diebold
04/22/2004 08:00 PMFollowing story after story after story of questionable actions by
Diebold with their electronic voting machines, culminating in the news
that they
knew
they were breaking the law by using uncertified software in their
machines during last month's primaries, a commission has recommended
that
California decertify all Diebold voting machines.
Secretary of State Kevin Shelley has until the end of next week to
make a decision on whether or not to follow the recommendation, and so
far he's shown a good understanding of the issues involved (he is the
one who said
all
e-voting machines should have a paper trail). Diebold's response
is typical. Instead of admitting that they screwed up repeatedly in
very damaging ways, they claim that being decertified "doesn't solve
the problems" - suggesting that it's not their fault that they didn't
solve their own problems and went ahead with illegally using software
that hadn't been certified.

04/14/2004 11:59 AMA (being charitable) confused California Senator has proposed a bill
to outlaw Gmail because of the ads it includes in email. "We think
it's an absolute invasion of privacy. It's like having a massive
billboard in the middle of your home," she says. Even if she was
correct, which I don't think she is, why is a law necessary? If Gmail
is so clearly annoying, won't people who don't like the ads simply not
use it? What purpose would such a law serve except to take Gmail away
from those who thought the ads were an acceptable cost for the
service? Derek Powazek has responded with a letter from his Gmail
account asking for an apology. (Thanks, Chris!)...

Diebold May Be Banned From California
Diebold May Be Banned From California
12/17/2003 01:13 PMIt's looking like some of Diebold's choices may be coming back to
haunt them a bit. While they've been loudly unapologetic for security
holes that were found in their offerings (and quick to pull the legal
trigger on anyone who pointed them out), perhaps they should have
spent a little more time "doing the right thing" rather than "covering
up the wrong thing." The latest news is that California
may ban Diebold from selling voting machines in the state,
after investigating the claims that some of their machines were using
software that had not been certified. Meanwhile, Fortune magazine has
voted
paperless electronic voting as the worst technology of
2003.

I am addicted to hot shower before campfire and camping pigout plus

E-Voting Challenge in California
E-Voting Challenge in California
05/01/2004 11:51 AMMercury News: State curbs use of e-vote. California Secretary of State
Kevin Shelley on Friday banned the use of touch-screen voting machines
in the November election unless they meet stringent security measures.
He barred outright the use of a new Diebold electronic voting system
in Kern, San Diego, San Joaquin and Solano counties. Ten other
counties -- including Santa Clara and Alameda -- will only be
permitted to use touch-screen voting if they provide a paper receipt
for digital ballots cast or meet 23 security conditions, including
disconnecting the machines from phone lines and the Internet.
This is amazingly good news, and shows that Shelley has been, in
effect, radicalized by the outrageous behavior of the voting-machine
industry. The companies selling their balloting snake oil went too
far, and now they're going to have to do the right thing.
Most notably in Shelley's announcement yesterday, he said he'd
referred the case of the notorious Diebold Election Systems to the
attorney general for possible criminal, not just civil, prosecution.
The record is already clear that Diebold has -- at absolute best --
been irresponsible and has dissembled about what it's been doing in
California (and who knows how many other states).
Had Diebold not been so over the top, Shelley might have allowed the
2004 election to proceed as planned even in counties using non-Diebold
machines. The requirement for a voter-verifiable paper trail had not
been scheduled to take effect for two more years.
Now, faced with an industry that insists on pretending all is well
when all is blatantly not well, he's doing the right thing early. The
paper trail will now have to work this year, or the machines won't be
allowed.
Predictably, local voting officials -- the same people who've been so
negligent in adopting an unproven, maybe dangerous technology -- are
screaming about the unfairness of it all. They're partly responsible
for this fiasco. They should stop complaining and get to work. We're
only talking about the core of our republic here.

California, the immigrant's paradise
California, the immigrant's paradise
04/09/2004 04:11 PMThe tour of the Salk Institute yesterday reminded me of what a land
of opportunity California has been for immigrants. Jonas Salk
was the son of Russian-Jewish immigrants (bio) and
obtained enough funding from the March of Dimes to develop the polio
vaccine (perfected in the mid 1950s; our tour guide said that the
disease was due to be eradicated from the world by now but Muslims in
places such as Pakistan and Afghanistan are refusing to take the
vaccine because they believe it causes sterility). By 1960 Salk
had obtained $20 million to build the Salk Institute and hired Louis
Kahn (bio), who'd emigrated to the U.S. at the age of 5.
It seems that nearly every corner of California has been a place
where an immigrant's dream has come true.
