BBC Journalist and blogger Stuart Hughes says:
The Olympics were a huge success for NBC.200 million viewers. A "halo
effect" that boosted other channels and programmes. An estimated
$60-70 million profit (Source: Hollywood Reporter) Before the Games started,
NBC boast
ed of the depth and breadth of its coverage.1210 hours of
events.103 commentators. 28 Olympians on the commentary team. A week
from now, I'll be heading back to Athens for Greece's second
remarkable major sporting event of the year. The Paraly
mpics will boast:4000 athletes. 140 countries represented.525
gold medals at stake. 19 sports. There will be no American TV coverage of the
Paralympics. Let me repeat that. There will be NO AMERICAN TV
COVERAGE OF THE PARALYMPICS. Not one hour of live coverage.
Not one commentator. Not one Olympian on the commentary team. Nothing.
This at the same time that a record number of journalists are
preparing to cover the Paralympics.

Where Was FERC When the Lights Went Out?
08/06/2004 09:40 AMSF Chronicle: Death Star' trader admits manipulating California
market. The Enron Corp. energy trader who devised the notorious
"Death Star'' scheme to bill California for fictitious electricity
pleaded guilty in a San Francisco court to a federal fraud charge and
admitted plotting to manipulate the market during the state's energy
crisis.
Who else should be indicted? An e-mail
correspondent this morning points to one of the worst offenders in
this scandal: the
Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, where inaction in the face of utter sleaze
is a way of life.
Instead of helping California and the other states that got screwed by
the bandits at Enron and other energy companies, FERC has consistently
stiffed the victims, offering a tidbit here and there but essentially
doing nothing serious.
FERC keeps insisting that it's on the case. We'll need some actual
evidence one of these days.
Too many Christmas lights?

12/10/2003 07:56 PM Is there such a thing as
too many Christmas lights? I love seeing
lavish
displays of lights at Christmas time. Some folks like a few
old-fashioned
Christmas lights and some like to deck the halls in a blaze of
glory
(this one boasts 700,000 lights). And
how
much does it cost to run a fabulous display?

If you haven't already, go check out our new venture, Bryght.
What is Bryght? Bryght is all of the following:
1. "The Salesforce.com of community content"
2. Content
Management System + Community Blogging System + Email + DNS + Domain
Name Registration + much more (see our features page for more
details)
3. A hosted website service for communities, corporations,
organizations and individuals built using the open source Drupal
system.
What is the relationship between Bryght and StreamLine? None, other
than the fact that I work on both :-) !
Seriously, StreamLine continues to resell Blogware blogs to individuals
and Bryght is focused solely on hosted Drupal sites (with domains,
email and DNS as well).
Why Blogware blogs? Because Blogware is still the best individual
hosted blog service out there.
Why Bryght? Because Bryght is the
best hosted website service for communities.

Control TiVo, Lights With Your PSP
Control TiVo, Lights With Your PSP
04/19/2005 08:47 AM
Myriad hacks are
emerging for the PSP as eager tweakers have their way with the black
box. Add to the list the ability to control your home automation
system (and TiVo) wirelessly. Liquidice explains:
I now
have the ability to turn my lights on and off. [I] have full control
(Play, Stop, Pause, Menu) of my DVD player, TIVO, and High Def TV, all
wirelessly from my PSP. ... I put an image map on [some] graphics and
created some HTML pages which are hosted on my WACI NX server. The
links are crafted so that when the PSP highlights and clicks on a spot
on the image map, it instructs the WACI NX server to send an IR signal
to my A/V equipment or triggers it's relays to cut power on the
lights.
While he doesn't have step-by-step instructions,
he explains his methodologies pretty clearly, and mentions that an
official Sony web browser for the PSP will make things much
simpler.
(#gizmodo frequenter AMIB points out (with some
sass, it's noted) that the PSP isn't so spectacular in this feat
because all the heavy lifting is handled by the home automation web
server. A valid point, by way of saying any device or code that can
make a GET request to a web server can accomplish the same
thing.)

The end of the light bulb?
E. Fred Schubert, a professor
at
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
"claims to have invented a 99-percent efficient reflector
that promises to speed the replacement of light bulbs with
LEDs." According to researchers, this could happen
within the next five years. The current prototype
is bankrolled by
the ARPA and The National Science Foundation
"recently award Schubert's team a $210,000 grant to create in
three years a commercial version of his patented omnidirectional
reflector."
"Schubert claimed that lighting accounts
for 25 percent of U.S. electrical energy consumption. Since white LEDs
emit more light per dollar and generate less unwanted heat, they are
potentially a major energy saver." (see EE Times
link)
Meanwhile, some of the oldtimers
seem to be pretty refractory.

Red traffic lights in Naples
06/05/2004 03:58 AMI heard from one of our hosts last night that when driving in
Naples, "there are three kinds of red lights. Some you must stop at or
you will die. Some provide advice to be careful. Others are merely
decoration." Seriously though, I have never seen so many drivers
completely ignore traffic lights in my life.

Ibiza Outdoor Lights with Speakers
Ibiza Outdoor Lights with Speakers
03/31/2005 07:08 PM
Italy's Oluce
has unveiled their new line of outdoor lights called Ibiza. The Oluce
fixtures are made out of white, weatherproof polyethlene and feature
an integrated speaker. They're not wireless, sadly, with a separate
stereo cable included. The speakers also only put out 20 watts, so
this might be the type of fixture for your local dark (yet
style-conscious) parking lot instead of your own backyard. Available
now, if you can hunt down an Oluce distributor.

Variable Intensity Brake Lights
Variable Intensity Brake Lights
08/10/2004 11:31 PMHere's an idea. Why not design brake lights whose intensity varies
depending up on how hard the driver is stomping on the pedal? It might
help ease some of the overreaction I've seen on various highways and
interstates in the last few years. According to a quick search, this
isn't a new idea. But why it it only mentioned on the expensive 5
series BMW cars?...
