I'm a bit of a reluctant tourist. I enjoy the work I do, the music I'm lucky enough to perform and create and I live in San Francisco, which is an endlessly entertaining city. Nonetheless, I find myself here in Hong Kong International Airport en route to Vietnam and, it's to be hoped, that my narrower points of experience will be broadened. My first bit of adjustment.

Me, My Mobile and I 

"A new generation of mobile users are becoming so emotionally attached to their phones that they cannot live without them.

This is one of the key findings of a study into how people use their mobile phones entitled Me, My Mobile and I.

The annual study from research firm Teleconomy reveals that 10 to 14-year-olds - dubbed M-Agers - are rapidly becoming the most sophisticated users of phones.

Even toddlers are able to tell the difference between incoming phone calls and text messages said Professor Michael Hulme, chairman of Teleconomy....

'They are growing up ready to take on these services,' said Prof Hulme....

Phones are rapidly replacing address books, diaries, watches and alarm clocks as people turn increasingly to their handsets to help manage their lives." [BBC News, via textuall y.org]

An admittedly small study group, but the findings are well supported elsewhere. The two killer statistics, though - and the ones to which libraries need to pay particular attention - are that "32% see phone as tool rather than intimate object" and "85% of children had personalised phones."

It's not like these things are going away, you know.

Edmonton today; Yellowknife tomorrow

Edmonton today; Yellowknife tomorrow 06/22/2005 02:22 AM

Quick trip update for friends and family...  The trip to Edmonton was uneventful except for some strong headwinds in flight (almost 40 knots) and gusty surface winds (20 knots gusting 25 was typical for most of the landings from Winnipeg and onward).  Jeff Foster, the Cirrus authorized service guy here in Edmonton, turned out to be quite the craftsman like a lot of aviation mechanics.  The plane seems to be holding up very nicely after 60 hours on the clock.

The weather forecast for the next couple of days is pretty good so Alex and I should be able to make it to Yellowknife and Inuvik as planned.  I booked the last dog-friendly room in Yellowknife a few hours ago and if we can't find one in Inuvik we'll just pitch the tent next to the airplane and eat granola bars (if living out of one's car is a badge of honorable poverty among singer/songwriters what can one say about living out of an airplane?).

Nearly everyone in Canada has asked about Alex.  Aside from the dog-curiosity the main difference between a Canadian city and a U.S. city seems to be that the Canadians have groups of working-age men hanging around downtown.  Unlike the U.S. the Canadians have a welfare system for men of working age and furthermore that welfare system has no time limits.  So a lot of guys choose to let others pick up the slack while they hang with their buddies and drink beer.

Aviation here is fairly similar to the U.S. but slightly less formal and much less busy.  One can listen to an MP3 track all the way through on a Center frequency before being interrupted by a radio call from an airliner checking in.  At the aviation museum here in Edmonton one of the guides talked about how crazy busy the Edmonton airport was during WWII when they were doing training here and also ferrying 8000 planes over to the Russians.  "We had 850 operations [takeoffs and landings] one day during the peak!" he noted.  For comparison Logan airport in Boston has 2000 operations per day and Teterboro, NJ, a NYC-area airport for private planes, has nearly 600 per day.

I will be spending the rest of the night spraying permethrin into my clothing to repel the mosquitoes and other nasty bugs up there in the NWT.

Los Angeles Times - Machete in hand, Batire Baramo steps out of her mud hut before dinnertime and begins whacking at the base of a struggling young tree. ? A cornfield lies nearby, every stalk stunted and barren. A coffee bush wilts in a patch of earth so dry that each footstep kicks up a puff of gray dust. ? Roots and stems from the false banana tree — so named because it never bears fruit — are all there is for dinner today. Batire will pound them into a pulpy mush that offers little real nutrition but at least will quiet the hunger of her husband and seven children. ...

Tough on Terror, or Tough on Liberty?

Tough on Terror, or Tough on Liberty? 12/12/2003 10:06 PM
Reports, including this one from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, on a study on the prevalence of terror-related crime hit the wire services several days ago but have received relatively little attention in broad circles. The new study, done by the TRAC research center at Syracuse University, shows that federal investigators have recommended the prosecution of an estimated 6,400 people on terrorism charges since September 11, 2001. Out of 6,400 cases, just 879 have been convicted. Of these, 184 have been convicted of "international terrorism" and the remainder for related charges. Overall, only 123 received significant sentences (over one year in prison) and only 23 were sentenced to five years or more. Also, convictions for "international terrorism" had a median duration of just 14 days, indicating that the vast majority of these convictions were for very minor crimes. The linked story quotes Charles Pena, director of a libertarian group. "It bothers me that we would round up whole bunches of people without an idea about whether they really are a terrorist . . . It certainly is valid to ask whether the whole war on terror is successful."

Times Were Bad, VCs Get Tough; Times Are
Good, VCs Get Tough 05/20/2004 01:05 PM
After the bubble popped, many VCs practically stopped all investing. In the cases where they did invest, they often put in incre dibly onerous terms that gave the VCs a lot more power than they might have deserved (though, some VCs will disagree with this). Of course, now that times are getting better, people are saying that VCs are tightening terms again - so as not to get burned. What this really means is that many VCs are looking for any reason to make the terms more in their favor. Times are bad? Terms need to be tighter. Times are good? Terms need to be tighter to make sure they don't go bad again. The obvious response, of course, is that it is the VC's job to get good terms - but if those terms cause more problems, it's a strategic mistake. If entrepreneurs feel that their VCs are ripping them off, it defeats much of the purpose of getting that VC money in the first place. Besides, as the startup market picks up again (as it's doing) this becomes less of an issue. Already, we hear stories about VCs offering ridiculous valuations to companies because they're in a "hot" space. When competition for the hot startups increases, VCs are suddenly willing to make the terms a bit more reasonable.

Weak Defense...But Getting Better

Weak Defense...But Getting Better 12/18/2003 03:40 PM
Worried about your wireless network's default security? You should be. Wireless networks send their data in the clear through walls and ceilings, and can be picked up with sensitive antennas -- much more sensitive than the ones your equipment uses -- miles away. With this kind of transparency, you need to protect the data on your network, even if you're a casual home user. The only tool for consumers and small businesses until mid-2003 was the built-in WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption that's required as part of the Wi-Fi certification program. But security experts have shown numerous flaws in WEP that prevent it from providing even a minimal reliable level of security for serious applications. Businesses had a strapped-together system they could use called 802.1X/EAP, but standardization for securing it (a separate problem), missing clients in older machines, back-end server requirements, and its reliance on WEP all prevented widespread adoption. Fortunately, in November 2002, the Wi-Fi Alliance, a group trade that certifies 802.11a, b, and g devices as interoperable, released an interim replacement for WEP and other aspects of Wi-Fi security that will change the landscape. This new standard is called WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access). WEP's Weakness WEP's initial goal was to provide a level of security that conformed to the difficulty of tapping Ethernet network traffic. In the case of wired Ethernet, you would need physical access to a network to sniff packets and intercept data. WEP's minimal security should have met at least that level of protection. Unfortunately, WEP failed because of flaws in the conception and implementation of the protocol. Some of these flaws were a result of computational limits when the specification was being developed: the number crunching expected to be available on the Wi-Fi cards was orders of magnitudes lower than that available even in 1999. Other flaws had to do with then-current export restrictions on strong encryption, which limited one flavor of WEP to just 40 bits. Several articles appeared on Aug. 4, 2001, about an academic paper authored by notable encryption and security experts which that explained how insufficient randomness and insufficient key space meant that a cracker could sniff relatively few packets to crack a WEP key -- just a few million packets of data at most (or a few tens of thousands at least) using software that showed up a few days after the paper was released. The paper and subsequent...
