Well colour me yellow and black, I've just become the latest member of the web standards project! I've been an avid supporter of the web standards movement for over a year now - in fact, my first ever entry linked to their launch of Phase II. It's a great honour to be a part of something I've supported for so long and I hope to become heavily involved in the Learn campaign, which aims to provide resources to developers who want to learn to use web standards effectively. I'm joining a truly talented team and I look forward to helping encourage web professionals to adopt standards and make the web a more interoperable place.

Billy Hoffman wondered what was encoded in the mag stripe inside his various cards. A friend had a reader, that he got from Germany for about $300. He discovered that some encoded his social security number for no apparent reason. a mag stripe is PVC, magnetic particles and glue. The particles are arranged in magnetized vertical strips. There are 3-4 tracks on each. Stripe 1 can have 100 characters, stripe 2 can have 40, and stripe 3 is journalized. (I'm not sure why journalizing it is useful.) There's nothing available for reading cards except expensive, proprietary models. So Billy wrote...

Jody Radzik's new bl0g critiques gurus

Jody Radzik's new bl0g critiques gurus
of all spiritual stripes 03/19/2005 03:02 AM
David Pescovitz: For more than a decade, my friend Jody Radzik has dropped countless spiritual mindbombs on me. In fact, he's probably the only person that holds my interest in such matters. He has a wonderfully-open mind, but he's certainly no sucker. Jody's an intrepid explorer, always ready to dig into a belief system but never afraid to knock a guru off his or her throne with a brilliant and witty observation. In fact, his new blog--guruphiliac--is about just that. This week's posts include the likes of subway-gassing Aum Shinrikyo guru Shoko Asahara's prison proclivity to "wearing diapers and mumbling incomprehensibly" and news of Hindus pissed off at a Ford commercial where Shiva discusses how owning the car is good Karma. From the guruphiliac mission statement:

"While we understand that gurus are held sacred by many, they are also public figures deserving of scrutiny. Our primary aim is to inject a little humor into what can be an excessively self-righteous enterprise, and to illustrate the primary truth that no matter how divine their devotees believe them to be, gurus poop on the same pot we do."

Changing The Inbox 06/03/2004 10:47 AM
Email is widely considered the "killer app" of the internet, but some are wondering if it's getting a bit worn around the edges. While stories about how spam is killing email can be found almost anywhere, some are suggesting that email has many other problems as well. Now, it appears that just about everyone is trying to "reinvent" email - but you have to wonder just how far it should go. While improving the interface can be good, it's always difficult to make major changes to something that people feel so comfortable with. Email does have its limitations, but so many people have already adapted to them, that forcing them to change again (unless it's done very well) may create more problems than it solves.

The Changing Face Of News

The Changing Face Of News 05/21/2004 02:26 PM
Remember all those people complaining about big media consolidation, and how all those big media companies control what people think? It seems those people forgot that we have many more media choices than ever before. Just a couple weeks ago, even CNN (owned by big media) admitted that people were going elsewhere for their news - because broadcast media just didn't cut it any more. Now, here's an editorial basically saying the same thing: big media isn't giving consumers what they want, and those consumers are going elsewhere - and aren't necessarily going to return. Of course, this brings up a fine-line issue, because he basically says that people want rumors and gore. However, if (as some major media players said) the response from major media is to tell people "you can just get that on the internet," they will - and they might wonder why they need major media at all. Of course, this result should be the most frightening for everyone. Major media does serve a purpose. The reporting they do is often useful and insightful - much more so than lots of independent sources. But, those major media players need to learn that the news world now includes both types of sources, and they need to figure out how to work with them. The editorial linked here suggests that news sources can become "the ratifiers of the news" rather than "the gatekeepers of the news" - taking all the "muck" that flows on independent sites and blogs and adding both context and factual reporting to back it up. Of course, that would require a shift in mindset. Most news organizations still hate to admit that there exists any other news organzations in the world and that (oh my!) some of their viewers/readers might actually use them as well.

But, an interesting point out there suggests that this has already been implemented by Apple: the sl eep-light on the latest iBook and eMac.

The Changing Nature Of Radio

The Changing Nature Of Radio 04/18/2005 04:16 AM
It's no secret that what we once thought of as "radio" is changing drastically. Already, there are things like satellite radio and digital radio -- and there are those who consider file sharing, podcasts and music players like iPod as "the next generation of radio." Two more examples are about to hit the market, suggesting that this next generation for radio is also getting fairly crowded. First will be Motorola's new iRadio service, which we saw launched at DEMO in February (for the first time -- apparently this second launch is... um... just 'cause). The idea is to have the mobile phone be the core of the audio experience. You can download audio files directly to the phone, and then either listen to them directly off the phone, or use Bluetooth to stream the songs through your car stereo or home stereo. It's a neat idea, but it'll be a few years before it gets anywhere near realistic/useful. How many people actually have Bluetooth enabled car stereos or home stereos? Yes, Motorola will offer an adapter, but you also need to buy their special phone, which doesn't really seem to hold that much data -- so it all seems a bit limited. Then, you've got the launch of visual radio, which is basically just trying to update existing FM radio with things like song information and album art. It seems like a fairly weak attempt at updating radio in the face of a lot of competition, but it's hard to see it having much of an impact, considering the competition should be able to keep doing much, much more.
