Philly WiFi: The Gloves Come Off

Philly WiFi: The Gloves Come Off 03/14/2005 06:12 PM

It has been interesting to watch the debate progress over the city of Philadelphia's plan to create a city-wide outdoor public WiFi network. The project generated a lot of attention when first announced. At that time, Verizon and Comcast didn't have much to say about it. Then word leaked out that a bill in the Pennsylvania legislature would prohibit Philadelphia and other cities from engaging in such projects. (After a firestorm of protest, Philadelphia got an exception.)

Now that the city has moved along with its plans, the incumbent phone and cable companies are hard ening their opposition. They are talking as though the governing is nationalizing broadband access. Nothing could be further from the truth. The city of Philadelphia is doing what cities do -- look for ways to provide valuable services to its citizens, when the market doesn't meet the entire need. It isn't killing off private competitors. City-run public housing competes with private real estate, and city buses compete with private cabs, but no one seems to have a problem with that.

What gets lost in this debate is that the city and its citizens will benefit in many other ways from a ubiquitous public WiFi network. The city spends millions of dollars on wireless networks for police, fire department, and other city departments. This will decrease costs and greatly increase capabilities for those service. For example, think of how city building inspectors could use the network to access plans and send filings back in real-time. And that's just the start.

Let's not allow reflexive opposition to "bureaucracies" to kill a worthwhile program. Sometimes governments do good things too.

The topic got around to DRM (digital restrictions management), of course, and the panelists' answers were -- to put it mildly -- unsatisfactory.

Why do houses have more than one room?

Why do houses have more than one room? 07/31/2004 05:40 PM

In http://ph ilip.greenspun.com/materialism/house-design/ (commentable) I put forth some ideas for building houses that are designed for single people.  The document asks the questions "Why have more than one room if you live alone?", "What about creative space if you don't have an office or studio?", and "Is it feasible to build an industrial loft in the middle of the woods or suburbs?"

Comments appreciated, especially from folks with some experience in architecture or construction.

Hotels That Spy On You When You're In
The Room 06/08/2004 02:05 PM
There was an urban legend story that made the rounds a few months ago about how those hotel room keycards contained private info about you on the magnetic strip. This was quickly debunked, but that doesn't mean there aren't other privacy questions involved with staying in a hotel room. While this NY Times article starts off with that urban myth, it then follows it up with stories about how certain hotels do track when you enter or leave a room. It's not entirely clearly how they know when you've left the room (since you don't use the key when you leave, and it's unlikely - at this point - that they're using RFID chips on the cards to check where you are) but it does raise some privacy issues. Should the hotels you stay in be able to track you so closely? What's to stop them from adding that RFID chip as well? In the past we've written about practical reasons for having such info, such as keeping the heat off when no one is in the room, but adjust it when people are checking in. However, the privacy concerns of being tracked everywhere you go in a hotel could become a concern for many travelers who aren't comfortable with the idea.

A Web Room With A 3D View 06/22/2005 01:52 AM
Ask anyone why they spend an inordinate amount of time at a certain Web site and typically the word "addictive" gets brandished about. That's the word that "Chimahead," the chief roadie for the band Nightmare Prophecy used when describing his attraction to the 3D Web sites at Gogofrog.com. And it would appear he is not alone with people from around the world building 3D webspaces and sharing a common attraction to the unique form of expression the 3rd dimension offers.

Like some other well-known bloggers before her, Chris Nolan is working on turning her blog into more of a revenue-generati ng business. I like Chris's stuff, even as I sometimes disagree with it, because it's sharp and unpredictable and rooted in her years of experience as a reporter, and so I wish her well in her efforts to sell ads and subscriptions.

Lord knows it's not an easy road. Reading Chris's manifesto for "Stand-Alone Journalism" -- she argues that's a better label for what she does than "blogging" -- brought me back to some distant memories from the dawn of the Web. After learning HTML and participating in the San Franciso Free Press experiment, I thought to myself, hey, there's nothing to stop me from starting my own publication on the Web!

So I did. In January 1995 I took a week's vacation time from my job at the SF Examiner and published a site. I focused on what was then quaintly known as "multimedia"; I called it Kludge, as a nod to its essential clumsiness and improvised nature, and I posted an issue. This was years before personal content management software, needless to say; it's all just cruddy hand-coded HTML and crude self-designed graphics. But the articles weren't so bad (hey, here's an interview with Marc Canter! Here's a satirical take on the CD-ROM explosion/implosion!).

What I quickly realized was that, as much fun as writing, editing and designing all that material was -- bringing me back as it did to my teenage roots in mimeograph publishing -- it was just the beginning of getting a Web site going. If I was serious about making it something more than a labor of love -- if I wasn't going to do all that work on my vacation days -- I'd need to figure out how to get people to visit the site, and how to sell ads, and so forth. My best efforts involved dumping a pile of flyers in the lobby of a multimedia conference at Moscone Center. (While I was doing that, a couple of guys named Jerry Yang and Dave Filo stood at a booth under a big Yahoo banner, giving away T-shirts.)

After briefly toying with the notion of applying to AOL's Greenhouse program for funding, I thought, nah. When David Talbot started talking about a new publication he wanted to create, I helped persuade him that he should do it on the Web instead of in print. Salon turned out to be a great place for me to write and edit and build Web sites without having to wear all the hats myself (though there have certainly been times during the last decade when my pate has felt a little crowded).

Today, would-be "Stand-Alone Journalists" can rely on much better software tools to create and publish their work. They can plug into far better organized online networks to spread the word of their activities. And they can even turn to simple plug-in approaches to advertising, like AdWords or BlogAds, to try to bring in some cash. But being a "Stand-Alone Journalist" still requires a combination of journalistic and entrepreneurial traits that's rare. Being a good journalist requires the ability to not mind pissing people off sometimes (Nolan, whose career has had its share of controversy, is no shirker in this regard); being a good entrepreneur demands the ability to charm people as often as possible. Both pursuits, of course, demand persistence, patience, and, in the face of indifference, a stubborn belief in the value of one's undertaking.

When I read Nolan's proposed label for the solo-blogger-journalist, the first thing that popped into my mind was the famous quote from Ibsen's Dr. Stockman in "Enemy of the People": "The strongest man in the world is the one who stands most alone." Standing alone has many wonderful advantages -- it's a stirring posture. But remember what happens to old Dr. Stockman: He is right to blow the whistle about the polluting of his town's waters, but he's dreadfully naive about the world around him, he's ultimately ineffective, and he fails to accomplish much besides his own martyrdom.

So I'm not sure the "Stand-Alone Journalist" label is one that will stick. The linked nature of the Web is ultimately even more important than the independence of the blogger. Standing alone is useless without being connected.

Micros copic fragments of plastic are a "major pollutant", floating in the ocean, settling on seabeds, and washing up onshore - with unknown consequences for marine ecosystems, according to a new study. "We've found this microscopic plastic material at all of the sites we've examined," [lead researcher] Dr Richard C Thompson [of University of Plymouth, UK] said. "Interestingly, the abundance is reasonably consistent. So, it suggests to us that the problem is really quite ubiquitous."
