04/21/2004 10:39 PMSeveral people have pointed to
Planet
Sun, a rather good aggregation of all the known Sun bloggers.
It’s done by David Edmondson, whose own
uncollected thoughts is well worth visiting. Also
worthy of note in recent days is Mike Duigou on
Complexity, which
totally captures the mental pain consequent on confronting a big new
hairy URI. (But that whole Java.net space is organized in a weird way
that I don’t quite get; hmm...). Also,
Planet Sun is a
clever name... for the next such project how about
Set the

The Intimate Planet
The Intimate Planet
02/01/2005 09:55 PM As usual, I'm writing this in the sky, flying from New York City to
Rio de Janeiro this time. Below me, Amazonia is waking to first light.
Only three days ago, I flew from London to New York. It has become so
routine for me to dash across half the planet that it feels a bit like
commuting. Or taking some kind of rapid horizontal elevator. While I
haven't entirely lost my sense that such mobility is a miracle, most
people take for granted that about 95% of the earth's locations are,
at most, a day a half away from them. Now we measure distance in money
not time. The rigors of the road, so daunting even 75 years ago, are
less an obstacle than the cost of the ticket. Marco Polo would be
stunned. As with most miracles, the functional elimination of distance
became invisible to us almost as soon as it happened. The planet
shrank by several orders of magnitude and most of us adapted at once.
But I had an experience - or rather, two experiences - the night I
arrived from London which made it seem that the earth had shrunk to a
point of global intimacy. Indeed, they felt like that first mystical
moment the Internet provided me many years ago, when I realized that I
could type "telnet" at a terminal prompt and cause any number of hard
disks to spin all over the world. In any event, I was sitting at my
desk in New York on Wednesday night, writing a BarlowSpam, when Skype
started to emit the old-fashioned bell tone that signals a request for
a voice chat. I looked at the window associated with the request and
saw a bunch of Chinese pictograms where the name should be. Some kind
of Asian chatspam, I figured, and I ignored it. A few minutes later,
it rang again. The name of the caller was "Kitty11_3". There was also
a text chat box on the screen, also from kitty11_3 which read, "I need
a friend." I was skeptical. I figured that "Kitty," or whomever, was
probably looking for "friends" to come see her "relax" in her web-cam
equipped "bedroom." But I took the call. A delicate Asian-sounding
voice came from someplace in Cyberspace. "Will you talk to me?" she
said. "Why?" "I want to practice my English." "Why me?" "Because your
name is John. I think that anybody named John speaks English." I
remained skeptical, but further conversation convinced me that she was
telling the truth. She really had no idea who or where I was and had
plucked me at random from all the Skype users named John. Kitty11_3
turned out to be a 22 year old girl from Hanoi, who, like her father,
works for the state-owned oil company. She had managed to get five of
her neighbors in the Hanoi suburb where she lives to go in on a DSL
line and WiFi which she had set up herself. Her boyfriend is off in
Korea getting a master's degree in telecommunications. She has three
sisters, and her real name is Vu My Dung. Here is a picture of her
family (at her eldest sister's wedding.): She's the one in red on the
right. We talked for a long time, in voice, text, photographs, and
URLs. I sent her to my home page, so that she could find out more
about me. Then I helped her set up an account on Tribe.net, so that
people could find out more about her. She sent me a picture of her
boyfriend and the dreams they made together. Her spoken English did
indeed need practice, but she wrote English with correct lucidity. We
talked a lot about politics and economics in Viet Nam. She said she
made the equivalent of about 100 dollars a month, that her family was
very poor but middle-class by Vietnamese standards, and that they love
each other so much that they feel very lucky anyway. Her father had
been in the army, making me think that, had things gone a different
way, I might have been put in a position to kill him, thus eliminating
the possibility of this conversation. I reflected that there are some
who visit this blog who even now would think me cowardly and
unpatriotic for having refused to be put in that position. Toward the
end of this conversation, I got another invitation to converse from
the mystery person with the Chinese ideograms for a name. This time
they were accompanied by a text chat box referring to its initiator as
"Christine". I answered in text, while continuing my conversation with
"Kitty." As soon as Kitty and I signed off, I "rang" "Christine." She
was, believe it or not, also a twenty two year old from Asia who
wanted to practice English. My suspicion that this might be some kind
of a scam had dissipated with getting to know Vu My. Still, I began to
think my name might be on some list of easily-distracted English
speakers, possibly with a penchant for young Asian women, but they
both swore to me that there was no such list and that they had
parachuted onto my desktop entirely at random. I believe them. They
both seem utterly without guile, and they gave every evidence of being
genuinely surprised at what their random troll through Skype's waters
had fetched up. Christine is Christine Zhang, a business student in
university in Shenzhen,Guangdong Province, just north of Hong Kong.
Christine speaks extraordinarily clear English, though her writing
needs some practice. (I suspect that Vu My has an advantage with
writing in that her language is phonetic.) We went through the same
rapid process of getting to know each other. She told me that she
dreams to go to Harvard Business School, which she thought was a long
shot for someone from a provincial Chinese university. It didn't seem
so ridiculous to me. She is obviously very smart and possesses...

« Otava curled up on the couch and looking adorable at six
months. »
Since the weather was abnormally lovely over the weekend we spent
most of it outdoors with Otava. On Saturday, we were taking a rest on
a bench in the woods when a pair of small dogs walked by and, of
course, started growling at Otava. After a few hilarious minutes of
growling on one side and bewilderment on the other, the micro-dogs
trotted on. After they had gone I chuckled for a few minutes as it hit
me that George Lucas had seen this dog when he thought, "Aha! That's
what an Ewok should look like!" I always wondered why the Ewoks growl
in the movies and now I know. The Ewoks are just small dogs who are
still short and annoying even on two legs. Gee, talk about a planet
best avoided. Planet of the Anklebiters.
Sunday we went down to the rocks, a.k.a 'beach', on Suomenlinna and
there were quite a few swans floating around near to the shore. Otava
somehow got the bright idea that he should try and catch one of them.
He stood watching them from a rock for a while and then dove to the
next rock in hopes of getting closer to his desire. When he pulled
himself up, the male swan arched his neck and hissed menacingly
towards Otava even though it was far enough away to feel safe from
this amateur canine. We were very amused but Otava sulked for most of
the rest of the afternoon. I'm hoping that the pictures I took of him
and the swan turn out well as it really was pretty funny. :)

When I finished making the interactive
version of my neighborhood tour, along with a screencast, it was clear that Google Maps is every bit as revolutionary as my
first instincts told me. Not because Google invented a new geospatial
engine or compiled better data. They didn't. But simply -- and yet
profoundly -- because Google Maps is a framework we can all use to
annotate the physical world.
In the very near future, billions of people will be roaming the planet
with GPS devices. Clouds of network connectivity are forming over our
major cities and will inevitably coalesce. The geoaware Web isn't a
product we buy; it's an environment we colonize. There will always be
markets for proprietary data. But the real action will be in
empowering people to create their own services, with their own data,
for their friends, family, and business associates. Google Maps isn't
just a service, it's a service factory.
Radical openness is the key. It's been only two weeks since it
launched and already the colonization has begun. Thanks to open XML
data formats and open Web programming interfaces, people have figured
out how to animate routes, create custom routes with their own GPS
data, and display GPS data in real time.
Microsoft could have enabled these same kinds of things years ago. Its
TerraServer has been up and running since 1998. But despite Steve
Ballmer's infamous monkey-dance chant, developers haven't flocked to
TerraServer. What's Google's secret? Web DNA and no Windows tax. [Full

12/19/2003 07:35 PMAirDefense monitored the air at Wi-Fi Planet and found a huge number
of security breaches: The company saw 21 attempted man-in-the-middle
attacks, of which 16 were successful. The rest of the numbers are
pretty shocking. In just one day, AirDefense also found 75
denial-of-service attacks targeted at APs, 125 attempted identity
thefts by spoofing MAC addresses and 24 fake AP attacks. With that
kind of activity, you'd better use the best security options you've
got. But most people didn't. Only 6 percent of corporate email
downloads used a VPN and 89 laptops were configured to allow ad hoc
networking. I think this kind of data is an argument for not using
Wi-Fi in an environment like Wi-Fi Planet unless you know how to
secure your laptop....
