Every nation an island

Every nation an island 06/17/2005 04:28 PM

« The boat quay on Koivusaari in late spring. The round disk just to the left of the point light is illuminated in the darker months with what I think is the phase of the moon since it often corresponds to the moon when it isn't too cloudy to compare them. [In fact, if anyone from the boat club knows about the lunar light and can confirm or deny my supposition, send me an email as I've been wondering what its story is for quite some time.] »

A long quiet weekend of laundry, cleaning, reading, scanning the backlog of photos, baking coffeecake and watching Jarkko play WoW. I was very amused when he wondered if the player with the nick 'Koskenkorva' might be Finnish. Uh...yeah, very probably. :)

I was also pretty amused by a Dubai land development called The World" which features a few hundred island nations for sale to those who have always wanted to, say, own Finland. A thinking person probably wouldn't blow a few dozen million bucks on a sandbar with services in the Arabian Gulf after seeing what is happening to Tuvalu and other similar islands. I suppose there will be at least a symbolic swallowing of 'The World' by the sea when the time comes which will be fun to watch on CNN.

John Cleese explains Backup Trauma in a hilarious satire that almost makes me want to cry at the end. For every twat in the technorati who likes to prattle on about 'innovation' and 'emerging technologies' I'd like to make them be tape monkeys for a week or two. I get pretty irate when recycling old ideas with different software passes as innovation while we're still dealing with the same damn hardware that we've been dealing with for about 20 years. The only difference is that it's smaller and faster and holds a lot more data. It's like saying the cup holder in your car is an innovation for automobiles. Mostly, it's just a frilly distraction from the fact that it's still just a combustion engine that works very much like the one your grandparents drove. I'd pay good money to see Charles Platt scream "Where's the innovation?!" in tech conferences these days.

The news usually provides daily affirmations as to why I left the US, but the article Soldiers of Christ I might tide me over for a few months.

Welcome To Big Brother Island

Welcome To Big Brother Island 05/04/2004 01:40 PM
Wired News is talking about a tourist island in Maine that is being blankete d with security cameras, motion detectors and sensors all tied back into a computer with some artificial intelligence to keep out the "bad people." Yes, it sounds like the pitch for a bad movie combining sci-fi with reality television ("Dave. You've been electronically voted off the island. Dave."). The folks behind the project, however, claim that privacy is a "two way street," suggesting that sure, you're being monitored by a computer, but at least it means you'll feel safe that you're not being stalked by a rapist. The system is designed to recognize regular "good" visitors to the island and let them on without any problems. However, the "bad" people who dare to sneak up via kayak will be shot on sight (well, maybe not that drastic...). Still, as a last ditch effort to ward off complaints, the folks behind the project say that, if anything, they're helping to bring up discussion issues around surveillance and privacy rights.
