Gay marriage compared to box-turtle
marriage in Senate, Daily Show replies

Gay marriage compared to box-turtle
marriage in Senate, Daily Show replies 07/19/2004 02:52 AM
In a fit of astonishing lunacy, Texas Senator John Cornyn tried to explain the need to ban gay marriage in the context of the social harm that would accrue from allowing men to marry box turtles ("It does not affect your daily life very much if your neighbor marries a box turtle, but that does not mean it is right...Now you must raise you children up in a world where that union of man and box turtle is on the same legal footing as man and wife"). Jon Stewart's Daily Show segment on this statement is nothing short of brilliant. Let's hope it gets enough airplay to cost Cornyn the election (and possibly get him institutionalized somewhere...).

Flu Season! Wabbit Season!

Flu Season! Wabbit Season! 12/02/2003 01:03 AM
Everybody in southern California seems to be falling ill, so I'm sure it won't be too long before I'm KO'ed as well. Perhaps if I keep enough green "liquid death" (read: NyQuil) coursing through my veins, the bugs will remain at bay? Taste is the first thing to go when I get sick - which would explain my sense of humor as of late. I've moved my home office mini-television into the bedroom in preparation for the inevitable. Even if I don't become the next witless victim, I'll be able to fall asleep to Drew Carey reruns and wake up to Battlestar Girlactica promos. With red hot Wi-Fi, I'm also able to stay connected while under the covers. Adventure Elf, here I come!...

tis the season: II

tis the season: II 12/25/2004 05:20 PM
So here's something cool that I'm happy to be able to announce. Five years ago, I published Code. It's time for an update. But rather than update in the old fashioned way, Basic Books has agreed to the following: Beginning in February, we'll be posting Version 1 of Code to a Wiki. "Chapter Captains" will then supervise updates and corrections. Depending upon the progress, sometime near June, I will take the product and edit and rewrite it to produce Code, v2. The Wiki will stay live forever (under a Creative Commons license). The edited book will be published in the fall. I have donated my advance for Code, v2 to Creative Commons. All royalties beyond the advance will be donated as well. At this point, we're collecting "Chapter Captain" (CCs, of course) volunteers. CCs should be expert in the subject of the chapter, and willing to work through the Wiki to produce an updated chapter. (Here's the table of contents.) My aim is not to write a new book; my aim is to correct and update the existing book. But I'm eager for advice and expert direction. If you're interested in volunteering, email me at this address. I am grateful to Basic Books to allow me to try this experiment. I worked very hard five years ago to learn enough to write Code. I'm extremely eager for the book to gain from the collective wisdom of at least part of the Net. No one can know whether this will work. But if if does, it could be very interesting.

"I'm just a student, so I don't have a lot of money to blow, but I donated $165 to EFF, Public Knowledge, and Creative Commons."

So writes Michael-Forest Meservy in an email, inspiring the following plea: I'm extremely honored to serve on the board of five extraordinary organizations: Creative Commons, EFF, Public Knowledge, Public Library of Science, and the Free Software Foundation. If you can follow a student's lead, I'd be grateful. These are five amazing organizations that need your support. Ask yourself this: How much did I give to the monopolists this year? We'd be happy with 1/10th of that.

Compliments of the Season

Compliments of the Season 12/24/2004 01:14 PM

« Hauskaa Joulua / Merry Christmas / God Jul »

For everyone whom I would have liked to send a Christmas card to this year but didn't, Happy Seasonal Non-denominational Greetings. Well, except for the Santa and the Hauskaa Joulua bit. :) I like sending snail mail cards as it's the one time of year that I have a reason to put something in the post to everyone I know. I'm not big on Christmas, but the season does have a few bits worth having. I found a lovely tiny book about 37 pages long in Hagelstam's bargain bin a few months ago on the history of the Christmas card titled Compliments of the Season which you can read here. It's short and covers the rather recent tradition of the cards which first appeared in 1846. The book is old enough to find the writing style and language also very interesting. The Victorians are to blame for many things but they did get a few things right. I wonder what they would make of the dreaded, and usually dreadful, family update christmas letter many US families put into the mail every year. Perhaps channeling Jane Austen might improve them.

We set the date for getting the puppy; 16 January, which seems like an eternity away. The breeders have taken to calling him Jarmo which is a fine name but a bit too close to Jarkko I think as it's difficult enough at times to keep man and beast distinct in my mind. Fortunately, Jarkko doesn't shed. :)

Start of the Season

Start of the Season 11/14/2003 01:45 PM
It is believed the decorated Christmas tree originated in 16th century Germany. In Italy, children place their Christmas letter under their father's plate. Lucy wants real estate for Christmas in 'A Charlie Brown Christmas.' Nutcracker figurines originated in Germany in the 1700s. 'Jingle Bells' was originally called 'One Horse Open Sleigh.' December 25 was chosen for the celebration of Jesus' birth by Pope Julius I in the 4th century. Just a few random facts from the 'Sounds of the Seasons' channel on digital cable, which will be on in my office for the next month and a half. I can't help but love this stuff! There are a billion religions on this planet, so I'm "forced" to celebrate the pop culture aspect of these winter holidays - so as not to offend anybody. Don't be a Grinch! My stocking will be full this year, and I can't wait....

« Suomenlinna at sunset. »

A busy week and nice weather make for a dull time around here, even more dull than my 'cookery' and 'flikr crap photos' that my dear friends here complain about. :) I think we've already had more nice weather in the past few weeks than we've had in the past two years combined so the season is more manic than usual with everyone doing everything all at once, except cleaning house and sitting in front of the computer any more than one has to. :)

Kicking off the camping season

Kicking off the camping season 06/05/2005 10:49 PM

This weekend is the start of our camping season this year. This year, the first camping trip will be at the Pfiffer Big Sur State Park. We've been that five times or so but I have no problem with repeating a good thing. My wife, on the other hand, wants to try new camps. Sheesh.

My only worry is that my cigarette craving might get real bad during the trip. Last time I quit smoking for longer than a week, I stayed away for 6 months but I started smoking again while camping at Clear Lake. Oh boy, it was bad. I chewed through a full box of nicotine gum before throwing the towel in. I hope I fare better this time.

‘Tis the season to cash in those rebates

‘Tis the season to cash in those rebates 12/27/2004 03:21 PM
As the dust begins to settle on all the shiny new gadgets purchased this holiday season, the time has come to dig out the paperwork and apply for one of the many rebates being offered by more and more companies to lure customers to their products. The use of rebates is at an all-time high, especially when it comes to computer and consumer electronics purchases, finds The NPD Group's recent report, Rebates: A Consumer Perspective. Almost a third of consumers surveyed (32 percent) purchased a technology product that offered a rebate during the past six months. A closer look at those consumers' responses shows more than 25 percent of computer hardware product purchases included a rebate and 8.5 percent of respondents used a rebate to buy a consumer electronics product. The clear benefit of rebates in consumers' minds is the price reduction offered. More than half of those surveyed said rebates "made the product more affordable than expected." Rebates also spurred consumers to buy products sooner than they expected (21 percent), to buy more expensive products than they would have without a rebate offer (17 percent) and to purchase brands they would not have without a rebate offer (9 percent). While rebates are very popular, the NPD study indicates the redemption process is still a source of frustration for many consumers. The most common reason for dissatisfaction was "prefer instant cash" (35 percent). Another 25 percent said rebates are "too much work for the money" and 17 percent said they forgot to mail in or go online to redeem their rebates before the expiration deadlines. Additionally, 15 percent said it was difficult to know what to do to redeem rebates and 13 percent said they didn't have enough time to complete and submit the forms necessary to redeem their rebates.

Silly season googlebombing

Silly season googlebombing 05/24/2004 09:01 AM
Some GOPers are googlebombing John Kerry's site with the word "waffles," and Kerry's supporters are fighting back with a Google AdWord buy for "waffles" that goes to a page on Bush's waffling.

I think that this googlebombing stuff is highly overrated. For starters, who googles the word "waffles?" What should be the canonical link for "waffles?" It's really self-reflexive: the nominal point of a googlebomb is to hijack a common search-term to misdirect searchers (i.e., the neo-Nazis who bombed the string "jew"), but in fact, a single-word query for "jew" is a pretty weird thing to punch into Google: "Hmm, I wonder why my neighbor takes every Friday night off and lights a candle. Wonder if it's cos he's Jewish? I know, I'll type 'jew' into Google and see if there's anything about Friday nights and candles in the top ten results."

In fact, the point of a googlebomb is to acheive the googlebomb and then publicize it: "Look, if you search for 'more evil than satan,' you get the Microsoft home-page, hardy-har-har." But those who argue that they've scored some kind of victory here are nuts: no one searches for "more evil than satan" -- unless someone tells them that there's a funny googlebomb on the other end.

When I was a kid, we had all these "calculator games" -- addition, subtraction and multiplication routines that would yield a string on the LCD, that, when inverted, would spell out a word. I remember one "dirty" one that spelled out "BOOBLESS" (55378008). At the time, it felt like we'd really gotten one in against The Man, by somehow convincing a pocket-calculator to kinda-sorta spit out a word we weren't allowed to say in polite company, but the joke got old fast. For starters, "BOOBLESS" isn't a (very) dirty word, and more importantly, it just didn't make the calculator dirty to get it to spit this out.

By the same token, "WAFFLES" isn't that common a naked query, and convincing Google to spit out John Kerry's homepage (or an AdWord for an anti-Bush page) isn't gonna score you any points with the people looking for info on waffles -- the most it can acheive is the (very) faintly humorous spectacle of the Kerry homepage coming up on this improbable query.

Hardy har har.

The campaign has purchased Google AdWords, sponsored links that come up beside results when certain words are searched. The short links also refer to Kerry's website, but suggest users "read about President Bush's Waffles."

"When we heard people were linking the word 'waffles' with John Kerry, our thought was, 'This is ridiculous,'" said Morra Aarons, Internet grass-roots coordinator for John Kerry for President. "But our solution was to fight fire with fire."
