How to Explain Everything

How to Explain Everything 05/22/2004 12:58 AM
Part 1: Decisions, Decisions. Are you going to eat out tonight or cook at home? Will you watch a TV program or read a book? Will you study something tonight or will you go out with friend? Do you go out every night or do you save up for a car? Do you get into a relationship or keep things casual? All of these questions are the subject of economics. Do you just flip a coin every time you need to make a decision? Sometimes? Only when there's really no difference between the choices to you? How do you balance unlimited desires with limited resources? In the big picture, economics is the study of choices. While many think of it as the study of making money, it isn't. It's just that most choices hinge around money because of what money is, but that's jumping too far ahead. If you want to understand how the world works -- how you and everyone else make decisions -- economics provides a lot of insight. This is the first in a series.

Ever since switching jobs a while back, one of the questions I'm asked most often by co-workers and friends I don't see that often is... What exactly is your job, anyway? The funny thing is that I've never had a short answer for it. Instead, I have to rattle off a medium sized list of loosely related things I end up getting involved in. And people seem generally puzzled at first but eventually say, "oh... that's kind of cool." Reading...

Wishing For A Video Game To Explain
Cancer To Kids

Wishing For A Video Game To Explain
Cancer To Kids 06/28/2004 05:22 AM
Every time you hear about the Make-A-Wish Foundation, it usually involves a kid who wants to meet an athlete, musician or movie star. Those requests probably aren't all that difficult to fulfill. However, when Ben Duskin, a child with Leukemia, decided he wanted a video game that could teach children what cancer was all about, it turned out to be a fairly difficult request. Eventually, though, the Foundation tracked down a game programmer from LucasArts who worked with Ben to create the game he wanted and which he hopes will help other kids understand what they're going through. They're now offering the game as a free download off their website. It doesn't sound like the most sophisticated game, but obviously that's not the point.

Orkut members launch Orkut Paranoia

Orkut members launch Orkut Paranoia
community about Orkut TOS on Orkut 02/10/2004 10:42 PM
Geez. My head is spinning. Anyway, BoingBoing reader Adam fields points us to a new "Orkut community" (one of many online affinity groups within the social networking service), called "Orkut Paranoia" (link requires free membership). Adam says, "This formed out of some interesting discussion we've had about what's going on... summarized in this blog post:"

1) Orkut claims irrevocable unlimited license rights to everything you post. Most people don't understand what that means. One example of this is that many of my friends have posted pictures that I've taken. This is probably not a problem, generally, but they've granted Orkut a license to use them without consulting me, and created a legal tangle should I have a problem with that, forcing me to have to perform a legal struggle with Orkut, because of their unwitting actions. I think this is rude behavior on the part of Orkut, but their prerogative to demand.
2) Orkut may share personal information with Google in an unrestricted way. Google is unwilling (so far) to discuss what use they may make of that information.
3) Google's privacy policy possibly has some holes in it with regards to data collected by way of means other than use of the google.com website.

I suspect that Orkut is a way for Google to gather personal information about their clientele for marketing purposes, and to try to form a more solid relationship beyond "I just use Google for search because it's convenient". This is not terribly nefarious, but the kind of data that could be collected to do so has wide potential for abuse, and people should be aware that that's what's going on. Some may not care, but many people I know are signing up without reading or understanding the implications of the above three points.

Arabeyes celebrates third anniversary

Arabeyes celebrates third anniversary
with IRC 'evolution' party 07/29/2004 08:21 AM
The date is 7/29, 1200 - 2359 UTC. The place is irc.freenode.net, #arabeyes. Arabeyes is self-described as "a Meta project that is aimed at fully supporting the Arabic language in the Unix/Linux environment." Since Arabeyes began, there have been several Arabic Linux distributions released, KDE has become usable in Arabic, plenty of work has been done on Mozilla and OpenOffice.org, and Linux has started to become recognized as a useful operating system in Arabic-speaking countries, at least among the geek-cognoscenti crowd. This year's IRC event celebrates all this. 17 guest "speakers" are scheduled, and you may want to drop in and meet one or more of them even if you don't speak Arabic; Linux and open source transcend linguistic, cultural, and geographic boundaries, and it's good to support advocacy efforts no matter what language or country they're in.

GoGo Kidz Carseat Roller

GoGo Kidz Carseat Roller 06/24/2005 04:01 PM

My wife has been eyeing strollers with an intensity that I've only seen in gadget freaks. Therefore, this one is for you pregnant ladies out there. Wave your hands in the air. But not too quickly, because you don't want to strain anything. Here, just sit down. Did you take your vitamins today?

The GoGoBabyz GoGo Kidz Travelmate is a removable set of wheels you can attach to your car seat for maximum portability. Instead of lugging around a seat, a stroller, a baby bag, and one of those phlegm removing bulb-things, you can just drag a lot of this stuff behind you.

[For clarity's sake, please assume that all baby posts are by me, John, re: my wife, Joanna. I know it gets kind of weird with this Economist-esque no byline thing, so just use this rule of thumb: Baby == John. - John]

Company Claims Orkut Stole Orkut Code

Company Claims Orkut Stole Orkut Code 06/30/2004 07:19 PM
It's not like it's particularly difficult to write a social networking systems. These days, at the rate new ones are coming out, it practically seems like a typical first year CS student's project. Still, a company named Affinity Engines that builds social networking products for universities (that just so happens to have been founded by Orkut Buyukkokten - the creator of orkut.com) is now suing Google for stealing their code. From the article, it sounds like they have a pretty solid claim. First, it's obvious that Orkut had access to the code. He even continued to work on it while he was at Google. According to the lawsuit he promised repeatedly that he wasn't going to work on a similar app for Google, but then did so anyway. The real damaging point, however, is that Affinity Engines claims they've found nine identical bugs in Orkut that are also in their own system -- which certainly makes it quite likely the basic code is the same.

Well, this thing seems to be taking off. Nat threw in the first invite, so I signed up, and another half-dozen or so folks have fired off invites. This is another one of those networking site things, and I've decided that while I'll go accept invites from anyone I know (I really need to get a picture up--I'd throw the rainbow parrot pic I use for iChat, but the TOS seem to indicate that'd be ill-advised) I don't think I'm going to go to much trouble to actively go search people out. These things are always interesting to look at,...

Orkut 01/23/2004 04:12 PM

I awoke this morning to an explosion of invitatons to a new social network called Orkut.

Lots of things to say about it - first and foremost that it's a really clean, functional and exciting site!

Second - when I tried to join Orkut - I clicked on the 'Join Orkut' button and it told me - "Sorry you have to be invited into Orkut."

"Oh" I said.  "Then why is there a button saying "Join Orkut?"

That's pretty strange.

Now - the next thing is that Orkut is (apparently) created by Orkut Buyukkokten, who works at Google and just happens to be the guy who created the oriignal social network for Stanford - which is now part of Affinity Engines (who have a new CEO - BTW.)

Orkut has a pretty conspicuos message at the bottom saying "In affiliation with Google" - so if I was a betting man, I'd say Google decided NOT to buy Friendster - 'cause they got their employee Orkut - to roll their own internal system - which (just happens) to be called Orkut.

That said - let's just hope that Orkut will support FOAF - so we all can live happily together.

Orkut has Communities in it - so I created a few myself.

Here we go!
