But everyday is Halloween! 09/01/2004 10:09 AM
David Pescovitz: An idiotic principal at a middle school in Kansas is cracking down on goths, sending them home if they dress in a way that may "disrupt the school environment or impede learning in the classroom." Principal Cherle Crain's quotes in this MTV.com article are amazingly asinine. Here's my favorite:

"Last week, a parent told me her two kids were talking about this at dinner," Crain said. "And one of them said 'I'm so glad Ms. Crain did this, because a Goth sat behind me last year and every single day he'd hiss at me like a snake.' And that impeded his learning."

Everyday Apocalyptic

Everyday Apocalyptic Focusing on the epiphanic quality of apocalyptic insight, Dark draws on the wisdom of popular culture-including The Simpsons, Beck, and Coen brothers' films-to expose the "moral bankruptcy of our imaginations." I have no idea what any of this means.

Everyday is Monday

Everyday is Monday 02/01/2005 10:11 PM

I had a week of Mondays last week and Friday had an added bonus of being both Friday and Monday at the same time due to the holiday on Thursday. From Monday onward, I seemed to fumble everything from the complex to the simple. I patched the system a bunch of the CPAN sites run on, as well as this blog, only to have it come up perfectly but be unable to log in to the system because sshd decided it didn't want to run so I have to wait until Ben can get to the console and start it for me, hopefully soon. I spent the weekend away from computers to try and change my system karma. :)

I've scanned all the pictures from Tunisia and have been sifting through them and whenever sshd comes back online, I'll put them up on the system.

PHPlist: Not your everyday Mailman

PHPlist: Not your everyday Mailman 08/27/2004 01:37 PM
Like many (if not most) open source developers, I use Mailman, the GNU mailing list manager, for all of my newsletter requirements. Recently, however, I began playing with a different one-way announcement-type newsletter mailer. It's called PHPlist, and as you might guess, in contrast to Mailman, it's not Python powered. Beyond the language difference, it adds a number of useful default features, including email from RSS feeds and sophisticated user management that really extends the power of an announcement-based mailing list.

Also, I love that there's a bonus "b" in the term "web blogs." Ha!

"Everyday Hackers" in the Boston Globe

"Everyday Hackers" in the Boston Globe 04/19/2004 12:24 PM
A Boston Globe article, "Everyday Hackers" by Robert Gavin, talks about the phenomenon of bringing hacks home to the citizen engineer. The article is nice enough to weave into the story the O'Reilly Hacks series I spend much time on, our new Hacking Projects for Geeks series, Paul Graham's "Hackers & Painters", and Ready Made magazine.

Today, a growing hacker culture is not only reclaiming the original meaning of the term but also applying its can-do ethic far beyond computer code to embrace everything from home electronics to home improvements. Just as the first hackers looked at behemothcomputers and rudimentary programs and insisted, "We can make them better," so are modern-day hackers looking at a wide variety of products, services, and materials and saying, "We can make these better, too."
...
Said Dornfest: "The difference between a hacker and consumer is a consumer says, 'I wish it would work this way.' A hacker says, `I've got a screwdriver and a few minutes.'"

Over the past week I have been really sick with the Flu, my doctor sent me home for 3 days bed rest, and yet I felt I needed to complete my podcast in the middle of being absolutely miserable. I will probably someday listen to those 2 shows and say what was I thinking.

With that being said I knew the shows were about 50% of were they should be quality wise and the perfectionist in me said don't release them, but hey I said their are thousands of people out their counting on my show to come out Tuesday and Friday mornings so no mater what I better get myself behind the Mic and do a podcast.

Is it worth it, I say absolutely, I received over 200 e-mail's from listeners wishing me well, and you know that is powerful in it's own way.

This morning I received a particular nice e-mail from a listener/reader who just happens to be a Mac user, heck even I can say that I am a mac user, the old habits die hard and I temper that with, I use both operating systems with equal pleasure.

This note made me realize that people are starting to get to know Todd the Geek here at Geek News Central. It has become apparently obvious to me that not only is the weblog important but as equally important is getting all of you to know me better, and I think thru the Podcast that is happening. But for the special person out there today that made my day, Thank you I really appreciated it.

Never fear though I will be back in prime form on Tuesday with more personal highlights and stimulating news commentary. Back to the normal record and post no more editing out coughing and all that other nasty stuff..

New "everyday neuroscience" book from
author of Emergence

New "everyday neuroscience" book from
author of Emergence 01/16/2004 11:35 AM
Steven Johnson, the guy who wrote the brilliant Emergence (a book whose lyrical description of emergent phenomena in ant-colonies inspired both my forthcoming novella Human Readable and the ants that crawl over Appeals Court, the sequel Charlie Stross and I wrote to Jury Service, which will be published as a fix-up novel by Argosy in just a couple weeks), has a new book out: Mind Wide Open: Your Brain And The Neuroscience Of Everyday Life, which he describes as:

...an attempt to look systematically at the question of what brain science can tell you about yourself as an individual. There are a number of great books that ask questions like: How did the brain evolve? Or: how does the brain work? This book asks a related, but more intimate question: how does your brain work? In what ways can science shed light on your own personality traits, emotional habits, mental blindspots or strengths? In the book I've set myself up as a kind of guinea pig for this experiment: I take a number of tests that evaluate different cognitive faculties; I do a number of explorations with neurofeedback; I help design a series of fMRI experiments on my own head. I also have conversations with some of the world's leading brain scientists, who function as guides through this amazing inner landscape.
