Composer Johann Sebastian Bach and writer Johannes Wolfgang von Goethe were also in the running. Adolf Hitler and other Nazis were excluded from the poll.

Now and again, when I have time, I like to write little funny stories. I don’t actually have time to write one right now, but I figured I’d point to a few of them, in case you’re relatively new to my weblog and may have missed them.

Here’s one, probably the most popular, on doing bong hits with Bill Gates.

My personal favorite is on how it’s so hard to teach squirrels to play baseball.

Here’s my BBEdit song.

Here’s one on the inherent evil of that Three Dog Night song Joy to the World.

Then there’s my list of top ten really mean put-downs.

Though it’s not terrifically funny, I like it as a rant: how I don’t want wearable computers.

Here’s a post on how I like to say inappropriate things. I compare a part of my anatomy to a roll of duct tape.

Another personal favorite is Frank, a fable.

Last week, Salon documented the "opportunity costs" of the administration's decision to invade Iraq -- what the country could have done instead with all the resources we've committed to the war so far. Depressingly, the list of under-funded projects includes many vital domestic security programs that would seem to be far more effective in contributing to the safety of the United States than the toppling of Saddam Hussein -- for instance, bolstering the security of sea ports, airports, and fully funding police and fire departments.

Sesame Street's greatest moments


Sesame Street's greatest moments 04/07/2005 09:52 AM
Cory Doctorow: 25 Of My Favorite Sesame Street Memories is a lovely, lavishly illustrated essay that's pretty much what is says on the label: wistful funny essays about 25 great moments in Sesame Street history.
Guy Smiley has a huge & rather odd resume. Among the shows he's hosted are one in which a baby has to pick out its grandmother among an old lady and a mustachioed man & dog with wigs on, one in which all the correct answers are "Triangle," & the "Here Is Your Life" series of reunion specials. Anyone & anything, from an oak tree to Forgetful Jones had their own "Here Is Your Life" special, but my favorite was the one for Sneaker, an old, worn out, red Chuck Taylor lost in the back of a closet until the day Guy Smiley decided he deserved a tribute. Sneaker was visited by his designer, his shoemaker, his owner (represented by her bare feet & legs rolled up like she's expecting a flood in her closet), & his left counterpart (who was bought by a sculptor & bronzed as part of an abstract statue).

In the end, Sneaker found himself lonely after reliving his memories, & wasn't looking forward to an eternity at the back of the closet. That's when Oscar shows up & offers to add Righty to his rotten sneaker collection... but not before he receives a complimentary memory book & official Guy Smiley ankle bracelet!

Sneaker makes the list mostly because gutting the soles of my old Chucks & gluing two halves of a ping pong ball onto the tongue is on my eternal to-do list.

Competing in High Gear

"Innovative, enthusiastic and excited about their profession, 'the new generation of librarians is really starting to take hold,' said Steven Cohen, a law librarian at Rivkin Radler in Uniondale....

One time he was able to help the firm get a jump on a case when he discovered an article that reported one of its clients was being sued, before either the client or his lawyer knew about it. 'I printed it out and I ran down the hall and handed it to his attorney and said, 'They've been sued,' he recalled. The attorney was able to inform the client before he found out from someone else and get right to work. 'The lawyers were running down the hall screaming, 'Cohen did it! Cohen found the case!' That was a good day. It is so great being able to bring them the information.' " [Newsday]

Blogging at ALA Midwinter - Be a Part of it

I will be working with the Public Library Association on an official weblog (you heard that right - official). We will be kicking it off by reporting on PLA-related events at ALA Midwinter. This is going to be huge. Very huge. There will be photographs. There will be interviews with presenters, attendees, exhibitors, and PLA members. There will be reports from the meetings (if allowed), keynote addresses, dinner meetings and networking functions. There will hopefully be special reports from committee members. My point? We're going to blog it and we're going to blog hard. And, we're going to do it right.

Why do I say we? Because I need your help.

I am looking for a bunch of people (20 or so) who will be willing to report on the conference and post to the PLA blog....


Steven gets one of the biggies! Help him out, because this will be the start of something big. Congratulations, Steven - way to go!

I used to be famous


I used to be famous 03/06/2004 01:49 AM

A picture named nut.gif [Scripting News]

Back in the late 80's and early 90's - I used to be famous.

Since I left Macromedia in 1991 - I have been investing in and building what I believe in - which turns out to be something called "digital lifestyle aggregators".

And now it looks like the rest of the world has caught up to me.I have developed this uncanny knack of clearly seeing what baby steps are necessary to 'boil this ocean' and I'm hoping that by building alliances, deals and incestuos relationships I can bring a rebirth to my company - Broadband Mechanics - in 2004.

Laszlo is shipping the rich media platform - we were working on for years, while Tribe has shown what coolio social networks can be like, and a business model which can anchor a federated social network.  Tony Perkin's AlwaysOn Network is proving that social networking is just a raising of the bar - and that it effects ALL markets, while the system I just designed for XXXX (can't disclose yet!) will finally show the world what digital lifestyle aggregation is all about. 

This is all a culmination of what I've been working towards for 13 years.  And if you think about it - the timing is just perfect - right about.......... now. No I mean....... now. Now.

Well - whenever it comes, we're not too far off right now - if you just combine:

- PeopleAggregator, WebOutliner

- MediaChest, Flickr, Orkut, Tribe, Ryze, Yafro, Fotonotes, Fotolog, ODDpost,

- W4, blogrolling, technorati, Internet Topic Exchange, AlwaysOn Network Zaibatsu

- RVW, ENT 1.0, OPML, XML-RPC, RSS

- UpComing, ecto, FOAF-a-matic, Laszlo's SoundBlox

- TypePad, Blogware,

- Windows Longhorn, Apple's iLife

- Yahoo Groups, MyYahoo, Yahoo Mail and Launch (or yah - don't forget GeoCities)

Hopefully all of these web servcies, tools and systems will inter-connect together - to provide us with the future we all deserve and need.

This time around it's got to be based upon an open, decentralized, semantic, service oriented, fun world.

Scott Adams, of Dilbert fame, wants a cat locator (easily done); Electronic Frontier Foundation co-founder John Perry Barlow wants a brain implant that can replace all the gadgets he has to carry around; sports commentator Cris Collinsworth would like to be able to take the TV shows he's recorded on his TiVo on the road with him (that's coming); and Moby, who is mainly famous for owning a cafe in New York that we happen to live above, just wants to see recreational drugs that aren't dangerous or addictive.

It the feed is valid, but NetNewsWire does something strange, then let us know about it: it’s mostly likely a bug.

But if the feed is not valid, you have a few options for fixing it:

1. If you’re running your own software, then you may have a bug to fix.

2. If you’re running someone else’s software, but you’re using a customized template or script to generate your feed, check your work.

3. If you’re running someone else’s software, but you haven’t customized anything, report a bug to the person or company who created your software. Be sure to include the URL of your feed, so they can validate it too and see what the problem is. (Important: be nice. Software has bugs. Most developers are conscientious and work hard at fixing bugs.)

Steven Levy on Trusted Computing


Steven Levy on Trusted Computing 12/11/2003 09:38 AM
Steven Levy, author of Hackers and Crypto, has a fantastic piece on Newsweek's site about the potential dangers of Trusted Computing.
How could the freedom genie be shoved back into the bottle? Basically, it's part of a huge effort to transform the Net from an arena where anyone can anonymously participate to a sign-in affair where tamperproof "digital certificates" identify who you are. The advantages of such a system are clear: it would eliminate identity theft and enable small, secure electronic "microtransactions," long a dream of Internet commerce pioneers. (Another bonus: arrivederci, unwelcome spam.) A concurrent step would be the adoption of "trusted computing," a system by which not only people but computer programs would be stamped with identifying marks. Those would link with certificates that determine whether programs are uncorrupted and cleared to run on your computer.
