list, and bam, I show up on his list of "great sites, mostly
web related, that I have found through my server logs." This is
such an honor, and a surprise. I'm glad there are people out there
that get something from reading my weblog. Thank you, I truly
appreciate it!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone, and thanks for reading my weblog.

12/19/2004 03:18 PMI just had the honor of introducing some extraordinary people to a
Silicon Valley audience. They were Jim Hake, CEO and founder of
Spirit of America, which I
wrote about last spring. His operation is bringing help
from U.S. citizens to people who need it in Iraq and Afghanistan, and
it's worth your time to look at it.
The stars of the lunch program, however, were Omar and Mohammed Ali,
two of three brothers who have been writing the
Iraq the Modelblog for
over a year. It's an on-the-ground look at conditions they're seeing
in a nation that's seen so much horror.
They're working on a citizen journalism project for coverage of the
upcoming elections. I wish them well on that and hope I can help in
some small way.
They have a leg up on this project because there's a new
Arabic-language blogging tool, funded by
Spirit of America, which will host blogs -- free of charge -- for
people in the Arabic-speaking Middle East. Nice work by all.

Tomorrow night's edition of "
Nightline&quo
t; on ABC will be a departure from the norm: the entire program will
consist of Ted Koppel
reading the names and showing the
pictures of more than 700 US servicemembers killed in Iraq since
March 19, 2003.
Here's
an interview with the Nightline executive producer whose idea it
was.
The idea is
not without controversy: Lisa de Moraes of the
WaPo decries it as "a cheap, content-free stunt designed
to tug at our heartstrings and bag a big number on the second night of
the May ratings race." (Is this
really Nielsen-bait?)
And the
Sinclair Broadcast Group,
which owns eight ABC affiliates, is
refusing to air the
broadcast, calling it "motivated by a political agenda
designed to undermine the efforts of the United States in
Iraq."

04/22/2004 05:19 PM Chrysalis previews their WiFi Seeker, a keychain sized device for
instant Wi-Fi signal finding: Chrysalis sent me a demo unit of its
just-unveiled WiFi Seeker, which they designed to differentiate
80211b/g networks from other devices. Two previous Wi-Fi signal
finders fell short in ways the Seeker does not. The Kensington WiFi
Finder is relatively large (credit card sized) and scans before
displaying the results instant of a constant active scan--but it can
tell Wi-Fi from junk. WFS-1 from SMart ID is much cooler offering a
no-industrial-design-intended box with instant scanning--but which
"hears" all 2.4 GHz signals the same. object

codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" height="196"
width="232" align="left" hspace="4"> Push the button on the WiFi
Seeker and it scans briefly, often under a second, before displaying a
signal strength in zero to four LEDs. Keep the button held down and
it's a Wi-Fi dowser, allowing you to move around and see immediate
response to different signal strengths. It's more directionally
sensitive than the WFS-1. Chrysalis will sell the device starting in
June for $29.95. Earlier, PC Tel has said they would make the device
available to their customers, so one presumes that Chrysalis can sell
custom branded versions of the device....

Traffic signal prankster
06/22/2005 01:49 AMDavid Pescovitz:
A prankster in Sunnyvale, California has been toying with traffic
lights across the city for three months. Police say he or she has
turned them to face the wrong way, altered the timing, and made them
flash red in all directions. From the San Francisco Chronicle:
"There is evidence that whoever is doing it knows what
they're doing," (city spokesman John) Pilger said. "The evidence
suggests they're an electrician or have that background. This isn't a
high school prank."
Further puzzling investigators is the fact the traffic trickster used
a cherry-picker truck to reach an overhead signal spanning a busy
intersection -- apparently without anyone being any the wiser, Pilger
said. What's more, the practical joker has effortlessly opened the
control boxes that contain the signals' electronic guts.

The Last Samurai and the Japanese code
of honor
The Last Samurai and the Japanese code
of honor
04/09/2004 03:56 PMI just finished watching The Last Samurai. I'm not going to comment
on the acting or the historical accuracy, but rather on this notion of
a code of honor. Several people told me to watch it because they were
impressed with the code of honor in the film. I think there is
something comforting about codes of honor and people get goose bumps
when they see movies where heros die for honor. Some people identify
with the heros as they reflect on the unfairness and loneliness in
their own lives. A friend of mine manages the rights to Musashi by
Eiji Yoshikawa, which is one of Japan's most famous heros. He used to
get calls almost every year from CEOs of companies wanting to make the
film because they realized that THEY were Musashi.
The most honorable person I've ever known is my mom. She didn't
talk about or whine about honor. She was just honorable. In my
experience, the more people talk about honor, the less they know about
it and are either using it as a way to try to convince you to trust
them or trying to convince themselves or something. Some of the
stupidest mistakes I've made in friendship and business have been when
I have assumed that people spouting off about codes of honor would
actually adhere to them. "Don't you trust me?" "Just trust me."
Bah.
So I'm quite skeptical about Japanese honor. Sure, I bet there were a
lot of honorable people though the history of the Samurai, but I see
honor every day and they don't make movies about it. So stop making
movies about Japanese honor or we might start believing it.
I'm not bashing the notion of codes of honor in organizations since
I think it's often necessary to try to aspire to and enforce higher
level conduct in these organizations, but having a code doesn't mean
everyone will adhere to it and such codes probably cause these
organizations to be more trusted than they should.
