Reason interviews John Perry Barlow

Reason interviews John Perry Barlow 08/12/2004 04:36 PM
Reason has published the best interview with John Perry Barlow I've read. He talks about becoming a reality TV star, a Democrat, and getting busted for marijuana possession at an airport.

I have grave misgivings about John Kerry, but I certainly don’t have misgivings about Kerry that equal the terror I have about another four years of Bush. What he’s done to aspects of the Constitution that are there to assure individual rights is breathtakingly bad.

...

I had a conversation with Kerry. It was pretty disheartening. I asked how he felt about civil liberties. He said, "I’m for ’em!" That’s great, but how do you feel about Section 215 of the Patriot Act? He said, "What’s that?" I said, it basically says any privately generated database is available for public scrutiny with an administrative subpoena. He says, "It says that?" I say, "You voted for it!"

Reason: John Perry Barlow 2.0. "We’ve got two distinct strains of libertarianism, and the hippie-mystic strain is not engaging in politics, and the Ayn Rand strain is basically dismantling government in a way that is giving complete open field running to multinational corporatism."

Dan Bricklin points to Chris Daly's Are Bloggers Journalists? Let's Ask Thomas Jeffeson. Here's a snippet that Dan pulls out of the article: Common Sense and other pamphlets like it were precisely the kind of political journalism that Jefferson had in mind when he insisted on a constitutional amendment in 1790 to protect press freedom — anonymous, highly opinionated writing from diverse, independent sources. In historical terms, today's bloggers are much closer in spirit to the Revolutionary-era pamphleteers than today's giant, conglomerate mainstream media. Both Chris' piece and Dan's discussion of it are well worth reading... [Technorati tags: blogs bricklin...

John Perry Barlow's Trial Commences

John Perry Barlow's Trial Commences 12/17/2004 06:42 PM
John Perry Barlow's trial commences and is commented upon by Seth David Schoen. A most interesting paragraph was: "First follow-up question: If you think a bottle contains an improvised explosive device, is it appropriate to shake it? No, that's almost the worst thing you can do. Second: Is it appropriate to open the bottle? No, that's the worst thing you can do. The defense then argued that Ms. Ramos could not really have believed that the ibuprofen bottle in question contained an improved[sic] explosive device, because she had testified that, on removing it from Barlow's bag, she became suspicious of it, then shook it, and then opened it. These actions were the most dangerous actions she could possibly have taken if she really believed that the bottle might contain explosives..." Followup for this post.

RNC-NYC: report from John Perry Barlow's
dance protests

RNC-NYC: report from John Perry Barlow's
dance protests 09/01/2004 05:11 PM
Xeni Jardin: Follow-up on this previous BoingBoing post from Cory: Link. As he steps out the door to "lead another sortie of dancing fools out into the streets of Manhattan," John Perry Barlow reports on the dance protests he's been organizing this week in NYC:

After four missions, Dancing in the Streets has exceeded my fondest expectations. It was my objective, as it usually is, that we afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted, and this is what we have been doing by all appearances. We generally make the credentialed Republicans we encounter visibly nervous and spread good will and humor to most of the rest, including the police, who could well use it at the moment. People dig it when they see other people dancing in incongruous places. The most surprising people will join in, falling on the dance with a kind of hunger.

Republicans were hard to encounter at first. They are being quarantined behind the blue membrane of the NYPD (for whom my affection and respect has only increased through this experience). In addition, they spend much of their time inside the Garden having a lot less fun than we were. (As several of them told us.) Levels of engagement have increased with fine-tuning. The results vary, ranging from the Stepford husband whom we made so nervous that he walked into a plate glass window to the sweet young delegate from Oklahoma who tore off his tie and joined us for the balance of the evening.

We've had many interactions with the police. They certainly weren't interested in arresting us, though they kept us moving. Several of them said wistfully they wanted to join us. In general they only interfered because they are trying to maintain as familiar a peace as they can. Major variations from standard reality worry them. But not enough to go maximum on us.

washingtonpost.com - VATICAN CITY, April 4 -- Tens of thousands of mourners, some weeping, some praying, streamed through St. Peter's Basilica on Monday to view the body of Pope John Paul II, lying in state by the altar of the huge Renaissance house of worship. Out of sight, Roman Catholic leaders began meetings that will eventually lead to the selection his successor.

Wikipedia Reinvents

Wikipedia Reinvents 05/31/2004 11:29 AM
Wikipedia has reinvented itself. It now supports discussions about any article, and provices an easy way for users to look at previous article versions. Maybe it could do this before -- but my memory and the Google cache lead me to think not. To the jaded eye, this looks like just a software upgrade. But the implications are greater than that. Wikipedia is the great white hope for free (as in freedom) information on the web, and this ups the ante. My big questions: Can they handle the load? And how long before anyone notices?

Team Jefferson, Linux, and Tommy

Team Jefferson, Linux, and Tommy 06/17/2005 07:11 PM
A LinuxPlanet article gives a fairly complete account of Team Jefferson and their Linux-based DARPA Grand Challenge robot, Tommy. Paul Perrone and the other members of Team Jefferson have chosen Fedora Linux as the high-level OS for their robot. There are also embedded micro-controllers handling lower-level functions. Linux is commonly used in robotics aplications but Team Jefferson is unusual in that the chose Java as the development platform for both the Linux box and the microcontrollers. This "might raise a few eyebrows. After all, traveling at 40 miles an hour is no place to get stuck doing a garbage collection pass."

Here I am, in the lobby of the highly attitudinal W Hotel in San Francisco, creating my very first blog entry. Joichi Ito, a blog sensei if ever there was one, is introducing me to the Blogosphere. I'm wary. Am I too old a dog to blog? Am I actually too sick of things virtual to plunge myself deeper into electronic immateriality? We'll see. But, I am motivated. For years, I've been sending out BarlowSpams and then privately enjoying the responses, both from friendz and friendz of friendz. Now I will have a place to pass to these on to our little community and, with luck, grow this into something besides my own little personality cult....
