Following Six Apart is like watching a
train wreck in slow motion 09/01/2004 06:04 AM
Today Mena posted that Anil Dash got re-organized again. He was given his 3rd title that I know of for this year. Now he has the newly created position of VP of the Six Apart Professional Network. Congratulations, I hope. It isn't being advertised, but as an incentive to join the Professional Network, Six Apart is currently giving away 5 author commercial licenses for MT 3.1 to people who sign up for TypeKey, then for the Professional Network, then fill out their survey. Not a bad deal. Six Apart also announced that they released a new version of Movable Type, 3.1 and promptly got slammed for releasing a version with incompatible features. According to Brandon Fuller you can have your old plugins or dynamic pages, but not both, at least not without a lot of tweaking. The only exciting new features for users besides dynamic pages that I saw are delivered by plugins supplied by SixApart that SixApart is explicitly disclaiming any support for, which makes them a lot less appetizing than they might otherwise be. Personally, while delighted to have a licence to 3.1, I'm happy with my combination of pMachine, Wordpress and MT 2.661, and I'm in no hurry to upgrade my MT installations from 2.661, and judging from the other preliminary comments I've seen it doesn't seem like a lot of other people are as well. Ouch. This is sad. When Six Apart has a bad year, it's bad. I really liked Ben and Mena when I met them at Supernova 2002, and they have hired some people I really respect, but I have to say that following Six Apart this last year has been like watching a train wreck in slow motion. I hope that early impressions of this release are wrong and that their luck turns soon....

Chinese Movie Industry Recognizes Movie
Watching Is A Social Experience

Chinese Movie Industry Recognizes Movie
Watching Is A Social Experience 03/22/2005 05:03 PM
Yesterday we noted that the MPAA and movie theater owners were whini ng about how much people coming in an taping movies was hurting their business. The obvious response, we pointed out, is to recognize that going to the movies is a social experience. It's not just about the content (though, that is important), but the overall experience. If they improved that, then people would want to go -- even if they could score the same movie off the internet or a cheap DVD bought off the street. While the folks in Hollywood refuse to entertain this idea, someone (anonymously) in the comments to that story pointed to an article in China noting that this is exactly what Chinese movie theaters have done. After years of declining attendance, they finally shaped up and made going to the movies cool again. They improved the overall experience, putting in better equipment and more comfortable seats. They improved the sound and the lighting as well. It sounds like they also made some theaters to be more like bars, to help attract young adults away from traditional bars. Yet the supposedly "creative" movie people in Hollywood insist "nothing can be done" to get people into the theater.

Winter approaches in Alaska

Winter approaches in Alaska 12/17/2004 06:36 PM

A friend in Alaska sent this email in response to a postcard from warm sunny Greece:

"So, you are there...and... well...we are here... in the snow, sleet, rain, pestilence, fog, and darkness.  What more can be said?  The dogs are howling, the bears are hibernating, and we are hunkered in our camp, slowly cooking cassoulet while riding out the storm.  In fact, it has been so bad here that one of our local judges, Sam Adams, age 47, died of a heart attack while on a moose hunt a week ago, and he had to stay put with his hunting party for a few days before the clouds could clear and the plane could land. Can you imagine being one of the guys around the fire, wondering whether to put cards in Sam's hand, or look for another moose, etc."
