I love books, I love browsing stacks, I love libraries, I love Powell's in Portland, I like collecting books, I always have a stack nearby to read, I love looking through picture books, and I love books even though I didn't really become much of a reader until the end of my college years (I never read for fun until then). Plunging into the Internet fed my book addiction further, as I had to read dozens of computer classics to get up to speed and stay ahead of the curve. Every computer desk I've had until recently was flanked by bookshelves loaded with titles.

Earlier this year, I remember hearing Cory Doctorow give a talk about how ebooks were going to rule the world and folks would abandon the printed page for the laptop screen. I thought it was a good talk, but I felt the thesis was a bit ahead of its time. There's really no comparison between curling up with a book and a blanket in front of a fireplace, versus trying to read thousands of words on a screen.

Last weekend I was doing some house cleaning and I kept finding stacks of books. A stack next to the reading chairs. A stack on the coffee table. A stack beside my bed. All these stacks contained books I bought in 2004, but never read. Some, I got halfway through, but even more I got maybe ten pages in. A few I never even cracked open.

When I think back to the last three books I enjoyed, they were all heard on my iPod, while on a road trip. I can't recall the last book I finished in my hands.

I'm going to take a holiday trip soon to a fairly remote location where there's not much to do besides read. I'm going to sit and read the only book I've wanted to read this year, and I have a feeling it might just be one of the last dead tree books I read for a long time.

As much as I didn't agree with Cory back during his E-tech talk, I'm finally realizing it's coming true in my own life. I read thousands of words everyday on my monitors and I rarely take time to read anything on the printed page, and there's no sign of reversal on that trend. The scariest thing for the bookfan inside me is that I don't think it's bad thing, either.

Long live the ebook. Long live the audiobook. So long, dead trees.

I Feel So Used

When Search Engines Become Answer Engines: This is depressing, but no-doubt true.

A major change over the years has been a declining emphasis on using search to identify good sites as such. Rather than hunt for sites to explore and use in depth, users now hunt for specific answers. The Web as a whole has thus become one agglomerated resource for people who use search engines to dredge up specific pages related to specific needs, without caring which sites supply the pages.

I hit and run — I look for answer in Google, visit the page to get the answer, and never even take stock of where I am in the Web. I think Nielsen has good advice for converting users:

Embellish the answer with rich "see also" links to related content and services. Global navigation won't do the trick; answer-seekers will ignore it. Remember, they are not interested in your site. But contextual links will make the most eager users dig deeper -- and the eager ones are the people you'll want to keep as prospects for your for-pay services. See-also links can be embedded (as I've done here) or you can place them at the end of the article, where they serve as a follow-up call to action. The latter gives you the opportunity to let people know that you're actually selling something, and not just handing out free information.

Th at's certainly how the GOP convention seemed to me, though maybe I'm just too "sensitive." But this certainly was a different convention from the GOP convention at which I was a member of the Pennsylvania delegation (indeed, the youngest member of any delegation) in 1980. That the was the Party of Jack Kemp. This is the Party of Zel Miller (!).

Feel Your Text Messages

Feel Your Text Messages 04/22/2004 08:00 PM
Researchers in Germany have developed a new system to feel text messages. It's almost as bizarre as it sounds. It's not quite braille for mobile phones. The idea isn't to translate entire messages but to give general feelings based on specific keywords, which are then sent to tiny fingertip sensors to indicate the general meaning of a message. Thus, it can be used to indicate a meeting between two people at a certain location by sending the message "you, me, location." Of course, the learning curve on this seems likely to make sure it's not used very widely. You need to learn to understand the tactile "melodies" it gives, you need to program it to understand certain words and associate them with specific tactile signals, and you need to tell others messaging you to use the specific keywords that set the thing off. And, of course, you have to wonder how many times you'll be in a situation where you can't just glance at the screen and get the point of the message instead of needing to read the message by feel. The researchers seem to recognize it isn't entirely practical - saying that it can be used for art-installations or for basic communications for those who are deaf or blind, rather than as a true replacement for basic text messaging. Still, it seems like one potential interesting use is moving more into the traditional haptics/feedback world, where it could be used to give people specific signals. For example, in a car, if a lane departure warning system senses the driver is drifting out of their lane, the steering wheel could return a specific "tactile melody" that would alert the driver to move back into their lane - though, again, perhaps a audio alarm would be more effective.
