I'll be mostly talking about Just A Geek, but I'm sure I'll geek out about Linux, my frustrations with my iBook, how cool it is to be a TotalFarker, and this cool wind-up Bender I have on my desk.

I'm on from 7PM to 8 PM Pacific. This handy link has all the listening details.

Marketers take note

Marketers take note 03/19/2003 10:42 PM

One thing I can't get out of my mind as we approach an impending war (in just 8 hours!) is the supreme display of marketing prowess on the part of the Bush Administration.

We were attacked by a rogue terrorist group on September 11, 2001. It seemed clear to me at the time that there would be a worldwide police action to find them and deal with them. It was six billion vs. a few hundred (a couple thousand, tops?). That wasn't the approach however, and we ended up bombing Afghanistan in an attempt to kill all the operatives that were still in the country. Perhaps it was the cold war era leaders in the administration, but even though we were attacked by a terrorist group and not a country, we decided to limit our actions to a response in another country.

But here's where the marketing comes in. We're not sure if we got the one guy we were looking for. After a few months, this country seems to give up on getting him, but instead of discussing failure, the conversation is shifted. We now need to remove another dictator that has been problematic in the past. Without much in the way of evidence of current wrongdoing, and in some cases outright lying, the majority went along with it. Not only was the conversation shifted, it remains shifted and the administration is achieving the goals it clearly set out to accomplish.

I don't know if you noticed, but this is huge. Imagine a marketing group saying that in 6 months, no one will talk about Google.com any more, we'll all be discussing Teoma or All The Web for anything search related, even though they don't have very many compelling reasons you should do so. Then imagine them pulling it off, and six months from now no one cares much for google.

Kudos to the Bush Adminstration for pulling off one of the biggest strokes of marketing genius I've ever seen.

A Note on Security in PHP

A Note on Security in PHP 01/05/2005 04:43 PM
The PHP Development Team has issued an important statement that deals with the security of PHP, and of PHP-based applications. The trigger for releasing this statement was the growing misconception in the PHP community regarding recent security problems, which exploited bugs in PHP applications, rather than bugs in PHP itself. It's a recommended read for anybody using PHP.

Quick note

Quick note 02/17/2004 02:28 PM
I'm so thoroughly jet-lagged that I am not finding this funny anymore (though I am pretty sure all my readers are). I woke up at 1 pm today (and I am rather lucky I did not have any meetings in the morning) by not waking up to the alarm clock. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that my alarm clock (and my cell phone) are still living in US time... So they would've woken me up at around 6 pm.

Oh, BTW, Loïc Le Meur really nails it. This is exactly what ETech was like. Smart guy - and no, he is not really stealing that G5, even though we all have photographic evidence of it.

Quick announcement:

Anne had lots of Marathon stuff written up (we compose everything offline in Textedit) and the fucking computer locked up. Like a bonehead, I'd forgotten to save it (along with some other important stuff) so it was lost.

I tried cashing in all my computer geek points to resurrect it, but it was DC 45, and all I got was a modified 8.

So that's been set back at least a few days. We both know how many of you guys who supported us and Kris are looking forward to the story wrapping up, but I hope you'll bear with us a little bit longer while our Real Lives take up most of our attention.

Upcoming events of note

Upcoming events of note 06/03/2004 09:56 PM
June is always a time that's slightly crazed for me (in a good way): it's the month when I celebrate both my birthday and my wedding anniversary; plus it's solstice time, when the days are longest and (for light-seeking souls like me) spirits highest. It's also the period, in the trough between Memorial Day and the start of high vacation season, when lots of events get planned. Here's some that are on my horizon: This Sunday I'm heading off to the Wall Street Journal's "D" Conference, run by Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg -- featuring, among others, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Last year, I understand they shared a stage (I wasn't there to confirm the executive convergence). We'll see if that tradition continues.

Next Friday, the same Long Now Foundation series that hosted Brian Eno's amazing talk last fall will present Bruce Sterling, at Fort Mason in San Francisco. If you've ever heard Sterling's seemingly free-associational -- but really, I'm convinced, carefully choreographed -- riffing, you know it's a treat. The topic? "The Singularity: Your Future as a Black Hole."

Last year, the Digital Storytelling Festival in Sedona was a blast. I can't make it to this year's event -- June 10-12, in Sedona once more -- but it promises to be even better, with J.D. Lasica talking about his "DarkNet" project and lots of other folks presenting their work.

Finally, Supernova returns to the Bay Area June 24-25. A year and a half ago, Kevin Werbach's first conference served as a great intro to the issues around Wi-Fi, Web services, and other grassroots-driven, geek-centered technologies whose adoption has begun to fuel a new wave of Silicon Valley buzz. It'll be interesting to see where Werbach takes these subjects now that it has begun to move from the edge to the mainstream.

An old note from my journalist course

An old note from my journalist course
days... 12/17/2004 06:42 PM

So years ago I did a journalism course and one of the early lessons in news reporting was just an exercise in trying to collectively define news. It was a pretty heavily-directed effort, and I think it had to be, because like many other things that we're so used to in our everyday lives, it's weirdly difficult to explain to people. Anyway, I'm cleaning up my flat and I find the definition that we came up with on a piece of notepaper, and I'm looking at it and I'm thinking: "This is actually quite interesting - and possibly quite useful for people who are setting up subject-based weblogs". So here it is:

"New information of significance, interest or relevance which affects the lives or interests of a particular group of readers / listeners / viewers"

It's not perfect by any means, but it gives you some places to start when you're thinking about what to write. Know your audience, make sure you're giving them information, and make sure that the information is actually going to matter to them. It's not exactly revelatory information, but I figured someone out there might find it useful. And now I've transcribed it onto the net, it means that I can throw away the piece of paper!

Love note to a cigar

Love note to a cigar 08/31/2004 10:09 AM
Cory Doctorow: Ben Hammersley -- gentleman adventurer, RSS hacker, dog-nut and committed smoker -- has taken on a cigar company as a sponsor on his blog, and is reviewing their wares, writing these over-the-top love-poems about cigars:

Lighting was smooth, though there was a little channelling (caused, I fear, by my own cackhandedness rather than any rolling fault, but easily rectified). Impressively firm ash, with the typical Nicaraguan whiteness to it, and solid to at least two inches. It’s a medium smoke, a good newspaper and coffee smoke, with non sense of bitterness at all. Indeed, once up to cruising speed, it’s rather blissful: it draws very well, doesn’t linger on the palate, but it calls to you from your hand. Fruity, perhaps, with a slight hint of spice, but nothing too post-prandial. The Sumatran wrapper gives some sweetness, and the ligero filler the complexity and the ummmph. In all, bloody nice.

Note taking in the Google age 08/05/2004 07:34 PM

I had a breakfast meeting with Professor Hirotaka Takeuchi about my doctorate program and I was taking notes in my moleskine notebook. I was jotting down just names and keywords and I think the professor thought it was a bit odd. I realized later that taking notes with intention of googling for everything is very different than taking complete notes. I had never noticed that I had started doing this.

Note to geeks: look beyond the end of
your nose 04/18/2005 02:51 PM

I know this has been going on for quite a while, but recently I've seen so many examples of it that I feel like stating the obvious that so many seem to be missing. Every time I see the new term ajax talked about online, there's a harsh knee-jerk programmer/geek reaction. "We don't need your stinking labels" and "XMLHttpRequest is a perfect fine name and has worked for years" are things you often read. On some level, these reactions are to be expected when you give a new label to an old technology, but lately, those reactions have been drowning out more substantive discussions.

But what baffles me most is that programmers are missing the big picture. Yes, XMLHttpRequest has been around for years, and ajax is just a pretty term for DHTML and javascript, but the beauty of the term ajax is that we now have an easy way to sell the technology. I know engineers have a natural fear of anything and anyone in the marketing world, but now that managers, VC, and funders all know what ajax is and that users want that kind of application interaction, they're much more likely to pay for it.

When a programmer drops the umpteenth comment on a weblog saying the term ajax sounds stupid and is unnecessary, they don't seem to realize how much more business they can pull in (if freelancing) or how they could score a raise (if salaried) if they would just add it to their next web application. Yes, the term is simply a marketing one and yes the technology has been around for a while, but it has been misunderstood and/or unknown until now. Ajax now means more money will funnel to your projects and users will prefer your products over the competition. In the end, the more people that use and understand what "ajax" means, the better off you'll be as a programmer.
