Let Us Swim Upstream

Let Us Swim Upstream 07/15/2004 02:00 PM
Now that we're at the point of talking about how people are living a broadband life, isn't it about time we addressed the question of why all that bandwidth is focused downward? The internet is a communications medium, not a broadcast medium, and for people to really adopt broadband and all it can do, it's time that the broadband companies realized that people want upstream bandwidth as well. Notice that two of the only things that have been mentioned as "killer apps" for broadband, file sharing and VoIP, both involve upstream bandwidth as well as downstream. Yet, we're still in an asymmetric bandwidth world.

Aqua FM Swim Snorkel Radio

Aqua FM Swim Snorkel Radio 06/03/2004 03:11 PM

Although it won't do you much good once you get under enough water to soak up all the radio waves, the Aqua FM Swim Snorkel will let you surface surfers listen to FM radio while you float, making it easier to ignore God's beautiful undersea creation. Even better, the Aqua FM snorkel uses no earphones, and instead uses bone conduction to pass the audio signal through your teeth right into your dome. And if you want to test the range of FM underwater, feel free; the radio snorkel is waterproof to 33 feet.

Update: I just called the manufacturer and yes, this will play Air Supply just fine. Why do you guys keep asking me that?

Teaching CSS: there's a long way to go

Teaching CSS: there's a long way to go 11/19/2003 01:41 AM

This email to the css-discuss mailing list does a great job of describing the confusion and frustration that still confronts traditional web developers who are only just starting out on the road to mastering CSS. When you've "got it", it's easy to forget how much of a paradigm shift it is away from old school table methods. Here's an extract:

Step Eight.

Just when you think you're settling down into a slow and steady learning curve, this is about when you start getting emails from everyone who uses your site describing all kinds of variations on your layout as it has been interpreted by their varying browsers and platforms. This stage is the most important of all, the one where you realize that CSS support is far, far more random than any HTML workarounds that you've been dealing with for the (insert personal experience here) years you've been making web pages.

(Excerpt from an email from a user of one of my sites: "the new color and stuff on the homepage looks good, except on my computor [sic] some of the pages are cut off at the bottom and have big gaps in them")

Maybe a good analogy to make here is one with Linux: both are great in principle, but if you aren't comfortable with what you are doing you can run in to a whole bunch of problems. I wouldn't recommend anyone who is still on the CSS learning curve to move a big commercial project to pure CSS, just as I wouldn't suggest a Linux newbie start hosting their own internet facing server.

At any rate, it's obvious that we as a community still have a long way to go in creating useful resources for people who want to make the switch to CSS.

Blogpoly: From Monopoly to Blogpoly

“It is just a game. It is fun to use the board to lay out the Blogosphere Ecosystem. It helps me to think and learn about blogging culture by transforming the original game into this version. I had to think about which company and enterprise to choose and set up first on the board. The space is limited, so I picked well known names in blogging industry. Besides the private properties, there are two public utilities--the water works and the electric company. Then I thought of ‘Wikipedia’ and ‘Creative Commons’, and then a few more, making ‘criminal’ into ‘spammer’, ‘free parking’ into ‘free hosting’. ‘Chance’ and ‘community chest’ become ‘comment’ and ‘trackback’. Fun -- yes? There is not much difference for me transforming the game than writing a poem, using similes, metaphors and symbols.” [littleoslo, via Boing Boing]

This is a nice, visual representation of bloggy and social sites/services. It could serve as an interesting conversation piece in training classes, especially tech CE events.

Teaching the Test in Texas

Teaching the Test in Texas 12/03/2003 12:14 PM
Teach ing the Test
As a student at Jefferson Davis High here, Rosa Arevelo seemed the "Texas miracle" in motion. After years of classroom drills, she passed the high school exam required for graduation on her first try. A program of college prep courses earned her the designation "Texas scholar." At the University of Houston, though, Ms. Arevelo discovered the distance between what Texas public schools called success and what she needed to know. Trained to write five-paragraph "persuasive essays" for the state exam, she was stumped by her first writing assignment. She failed the college entrance exam in math twice, even with a year of remedial algebra. At 19, she gave up and went to trade school.

This doesn't look good for our new, unfunded, "Leave No Child Behind" education bill. Smells like another bait and switch to me.
