Partycar in SF this evening

Partycar in SF this evening 01/23/2004 02:20 PM
Are you in the Bay Area today? Join a bunch of hackers and geeks and BoingBoing freaks for a spontaneous, digitally-organized BART party. Pole dancing is inevitable. At left, Macki from Rotten.com practices.

An anonymous partycarster says, "The last car on the BART is always the party car. Critical mass transit. Friday, Jan 23rd - 16th/mission BART - Richmond train departing at 5:30 if you miss that train, get the next one. bring music, visuals, people."

Link. Anthem. Hey, we could do this in Los Angeles, too -- if anyone could figure out where the mass transit was.

Another quiet evening.

A fun (yet testosterone filled) evening

A fun (yet testosterone filled) evening 07/08/2004 10:14 PM
I like cooking for friends. Even if the friends drag me out to the Finnish summer night to celebrate afterwards. But there was still something that nearly (but only nearly) made me sad this evening.

I don't really go out much these days. It never was really my thing, you know. But for the past week or so, I've felt rather happy and willing to party, so I was easy prey for beautiful ladies, who wanted to dance and party with me. So we danced, and talked, and drank, and had fun. When the inevitable and dreaded no-more drinks sign arrived, we stood next to the dance floor, feeling generally good. Then a man, taller and more handsome than me, approached us.

"You know", he says to me, "you are far too fat."

For a second, I am speechless. Then I just squeeze the two lovely ladies next to me closer and say firmly: "Yeah, I know. But it works for me." And grin heavily.

"You should really lose some weight", the man continues and turns away.

I let the smile of victory to spread on my face. The short manly fight for power has ended in me (us) winning - something that rarely happens. It feels good, in some primitive sort of way. His words cannot really hurt me: I know what I am and who I am, and that cannot be taken away from me with mere words. Especially with the words of a drunken nobody. From his simplistic (and probably very drunken) point of view I had two women, and he had none. So the only thing he could do was to try and hurt me somehow.

So bloody sad.

Evening pre-flight notes

Evening pre-flight notes 08/11/2004 01:02 AM

After reading the News.Com roundup of mostly negative blogging hype, I called up Charles Cooper, and arranged to meet with him at 3PM at the CNET offices, which are just two or three blocks from my hotel in the Mission District of San Francisco. Dan Farber, an old friend from PC and Mac days was there too (he works at CNET now). We talked about blogs, I tried to communicate that some people (like myself) take weblogs seriously. If we didn't do a good job, we want to know. But if we did a good job, and people say we didn't, we're like everyone else who takes pride in their work. We don't like being ridiculed, made fun of, or minimized. I told Charles I remembered when the mainframe computer guys sniffed at our "micro" computers. They said our little computers would never match the power of their big ones. It didn't turn out that way. We don't talk about Control Data, Univac, or even DEC anymore, except in a historic sense.

The turn to blogs is very much like previous generations of the computer revolution. Everything computers touch gets disinter mediated. The expertise of connections is something that is easily replaced by computers. Human insight, intelligence, innovation, those are things we do. But with the aid of ever more powerful and inexpensive tools, we can do more with less. So it seems the role of bloggers must expand over time, if it didn't that would be to deny Moore's Law. Sure not every blogger is a visionary and willing to work hard to have the honor of being first. But as I told Charles, decisions are made by those who show up. It didn't take that many people to start the personal computer revolution, and even if just a few bloggers do excellent work, the die will be cast, the precedent set, the future clear.

At lunch with Craig Cline, we talked about the next BloggerCon, and as I've discussed with everyone I've met with on this trip about the conference, we talked about The Question. What will we try to figure out at this conference? I like to frame each conference that way. Even if we don't answer the question, we at least have a framework for discussion. After much back and forth, here's what we came up with: What are the different kinds of blogging? By asking this question, we actually make a statement -- that there is more than one kind of blogging. A student's blog is likely to be different from a preacher's. How? A reporter's blog different from a librarian's or a historian's. Never mind listing all the different kinds, what are some of them? These questions don't have finite answers, so it makes sense to have a conference around them, one where everyone can make a contribution.

As with the April conference, the cost to participate will be $0. It will be an un-conference; that means no speakers, no panels, no audience. I have already started to recruit discussion leaders, that will be a continual responsibility of mine, and if experience is a guide, I'll be doing that all the way up to the conference day.

When will it be? Either before the election or after. We'll try not to coincide with major religious and national holidays, and other major events that bloggers are likely to want to participate in. It will be on a weekend.

We will seek sponsorships. We've already had one offer, which we gladly accepted. We will ask people who usually pay to go to conferences to make a financial contribution. But we won't need a lot of money. Stanford Law School has graciously offered the use of its facilities. It's not the same kind of venue as Harvard Law School, but we'll make it work. There will be more tracks, and most of the sessions will be smaller.

I've bought the domain bloggercon.org, that's where the site will be. I plan to move the existing site from the Harvard server to that location, and then start building the grid for the next conference. This trip, which is about to end (I return to NYC early Wednesday morning) was a blazing success. Thanks to the people at Microsoft, especially Robert Scoble and his family, for being such generous hosts. Thanks to Lauren Gelman at Stanford for helping us with the new conference. I had a great trip. The next stop is NY and then after that, points west or south. We'll see!

It's mostly composed of clips from Q&A sessions from his visits to various college campuses. Not only is it very entertaining, but you also get some real insight into what shaped bits of his movies. That reminds me, I need to buy several of his...

Dean fundraising is on fire this evening

Dean fundraising is on fire this evening 02/10/2004 02:48 AM
Too little, too late? I hope not. Dean For America, in a sharply focused campaign to win Wisconsin, is enjoying what will likely end up being its single biggest fundraising day. As of 7pm EST, they have raised $537,643 from 7,432 contributors (an average contribution of $72). Jim Moore's following it. And Peter has actually contributed to it. Is Dean dead? Maybe, but let's hope not. PS: I'm watching CNN and CNBC and so far no mention of this. You would think after all of the major news networks fucked up so badly in their coverage of Dean, they'd do...

Gathering at Children's Hospital blood

Gathering at Children's Hospital blood
donation center this evening 06/22/2005 02:23 AM

Some friends and I are gathering at Children's Hospital at 5:30 pm to donate blood.  I thought I'd invite local readers of this blog to show up as well.  The center tends to be less busy after 4 pm and you can walk in any time up until around 6:30 pm (they close at 7 and the process takes about 30 minutes).  You get free parking in the Children's garage (across the street), a T-shirt, and name-brand snacks.  The technicians at Children's are much more skilled than the Red Cross staff (i.e., you won't have holes in your arms) and the environment is much more pleasant than a university blood drive.  Finally this saves Children's Hospital from having to pay the Red Cross $200 for a pint of blood and cuts out a lot of middlemen.

[Remember that having lived for extended periods of time in England or other mad-cow areas is disqualifying as is having been to a malarial region in the last year (even places you might not think of as malarial, such as rural China).  Statistical risk factors for HIV infection are also disqualifying.  Call the number listed on http://www.ch ildrenshospital.org/help/donate.html if you're in doubt.]

Asimo in motion 12/29/2004 10:00 AM
David Pescovitz: I love this video of Honda's new-and-improved Asimo robot running. He moves like a cute old man chasing a bus. From the press release:

"The combination of newly developed high-response hardware and the new Posture Control technology enables ASIMO to proactively bend or twist its torso to maintain its balance and prevent the problems of foot slippage and spinning in the air, which accompany movement at higher speeds. ASIMO is now capable of running at a speed of 3km/hour. In addition, walking speed has been increased from the previous 1.6 km/hour to 2.5 km/hour."
