Here's a chart showing the typical speed of various Hollwood chase-scene pursuers, from T-Rexii to Boeing 747s. There were many craptacular things to mock about The Dat After Tomorrow, but most among them was a chase scene in which the protagonists need to outrun ice. This would have been handy then.

VoIP interop: built-in or bolt-on?

VoIP interop: built-in or bolt-on? 09/15/2004 03:26 PM
Every couple of years, I wonder when voice/data integration envisioned in this 1994 BYTE cover story will finally materialize. Two years ago, I was trying out the Vonage system. This comment jumped out at me:

I spoke with the Vonage folks today about the prospects for getting direct access to the digitized voice or the SIP signalling. It's possible in theory, but in practice the packet headers are encrypted (a nice security precaution), and they haven't documented how to reproduce the decryption and packet assembly that currently happens inside the ATA 186. Right now, they're focused on building out a basic voice service. But they absolutely agree that lots of useful integration can, and eventually will, be done. [Jon Udell: Bellheads versus Netheads]

It caught my eye because lately I've been investigating Skype, which turns out to be far more proprietary than Vonage. It's true that massive adoption, such as Skype is now experiencing, has a way of trumping standards. It's also true that a viable voice-call alternative "that just works" is a necessary precursor to the new breed of voice-and-data applications that we need and want. But if cheaper calls aren't the endgame, and if it's the apps that ultimately matter most, then shouldn't the mechanisms for creating those apps be built in rather than bolted on? ...

Bolt, Beranek & Newman (BBN) Reborn

Bolt, Beranek & Newman (BBN) Reborn 02/15/2004 09:16 AM

The Boston Globe reports today on the spinout of BBN, an institution behind the birth and growth of the Internet, and the history of computing generally.  General Catalyst, Accel Partners and the BBN Technologies management team acquired the company from it's corporate parent, Verizon.

BBN employ's hundreds of world renowned scientists focused on fundamental research in communications and software technology.  Just as its work in the 1960s and 1970s helped give birth to things like TCP/IP, email, and IP routing, their current advanced research is pushing the limits of wireless computing, voice computing, distributed systems and networking, security technology and quantum computing.  Unlike other technology "think-tanks" (e.g. Xerox Parc), all of BBN's technology research is applied, mostly developed (like in the 60's and 70's) on contract from the US federal government.

Part of the mission of the "New BBN" is to more directly apply it's innovations in the commercial world.  As a member of the General Catalyst team, it will be exciting to work with this brilliant group of innovators.

Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex

Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex 11/13/2003 07:48 AM
Larry Niven's classic essay, "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex," which explores the likely outcomes of a Superman-Lois Lane union, is online, with permission:

Either Superman has gone completely schizo and believes himself to be Clark Kent; or he knows what he's doing, but no longer gives a damn. Thirty-one years is a long time. For Superman it has been even longer. He has X-ray vision; he knows just what he's missing. (*One should not think of Superman as a Peeping Tom. A biological ability must be used. As a child Superman may never have known that things had surfaces, until he learned to suppress his X-ray vision. If millions of people tend shamelessly to wear clothing with no lead in the weave, that is hardly Superman's fault.*)

The problem is this. Electroencephalograms taken of men and women during sexual intercourse show that orgasm resembles "a kind of pleasurable epileptic attack." One loses control over one's muscles.

Superman has been known to leave his fingerprints in steel and in hardened concrete, accidentally. What would he do to the woman in his arms during what amounts to an epileptic fit?

My nemesis: a 1'-high wood-and-steel
platform 04/02/2005 01:49 PM

My third flight in "Sky 12" became unexpectedly challenging when the GPS receiver for the microwave uplink failed.  Normally the transmitter automatically aligns itself to point at the TV station and send them a feed from the helicopter's camera.  It can't do this alignment if it doesn't know where the helicopter is and without its GPS the only solution is for us to aim the transmitter manually.  My supervising pilot was Rob Roberts, who has been doing this for 9 years and is an expert in every facet of the operation (see earlier story).  Nonetheless if the helicopter changes its position or orientation the transmitter will need to be reaimed.  So we are forced to do all of our filming from an out-of-ground-effect (mid-air) hover, which I establish about one minute before our signal is due to be broadcast.  Rob doubles as "talent" and is one of the two pilots qualified to be an on-air reporter, for which we have a small camera pointed inside the helicopter.  About 45 seconds before we go live, the guys back at the station say "we're receiving your feed; don't move!"  This turns out to be one of the cruelest things possible to say to a helicopter pilot.  Inset into the camera monitor on my side of the machine is a little window showing the actual broadcast coming out of the TV station and into homes.  The little picture and the producer's words serve as a constant reminder that "any kind of screw up and the screens inside 100,000 Richmond homes will go blank.  This kind of reflection turns out not to be conducive to good flying.

For the rest of the week I was able to handle most aspects of the job without too much fear or incompetence.  However at the end of every flight the fearsome dolly would be waiting.  If we just landed on the ramp it would be too hard for the maintenance guys to pull the Jet Ranger into the hangar.  So we land on a surprisingly small dolly, about 1' high, which they then tow with a golfcart-style tug.  The dolly is a few feet wider than the Jet Ranger's skids and a bit longer fore-and-aft so it shouldn't be all that tough.  However, the one thing that you are taught as a helicopter pilot is never to look down at the ground when you're trying to hover.  You always look off into the middle distance.  Looking down leads to overcontrol and wild oscillations.  Another problem is that the skids of the Jet Ranger are not easily visible to the pilot, unlike with a Robinson R22.  Finally there is the issue that if you get the helicopter into a position where it might fall off the dolly, or at least half off, there is a serious risk of dynamic rollover and having to go out and buy another $1 million helicopter.  This is the bit of knowledge that makes the whole thing hard.  If there were just some painted marks on the asphalt and the consequence of missing them were being embarrassed and picking the machine back up or buying lunch for the line guys it would be easy.  But the consequence is spectacular destruction and this ruins almost everyone's concentration.  Apparently there is an expert instructor at the Bell factory school who refuses to land on a dolly.  He doesn't have to do it regularly so he sees no need to add this kind of stress to his life on occasion.  Sadly at HeloAir one does have to do this after every flight and it turns my knuckles white.  At the end of the week I'm able to do it with only a bit of help from Rob but I would not want to try it by myself.
