Christopher Albritton has done some great reporting from Iraq, and his blog gives a real taste of what life is like for American soldiers, Iraqi citizens, and of course American journalists. Through the wonder of the internet, we are getting the opportunity to read something like Michael Herr's Dispatches as they are being written. One of his posts at the beginning of this summer, Heart of Darkness, made incarnate all the fears that I expressed at the beginning of this war about having an monolingual, English-speaking, predominantly Christian, understrength army, not trained for occupation, occupying an ethnically, politically and religiously divided Arabic country in the Islamic heartland: a recipe for disaster. Albritton wrote: Violence, too, is never distant. A few days, there was an IED attack against an American humvee near the Interior Ministry. It killed one American soldier and wounded three others. We were on our way to the Oil Ministry and we detoured to the site of the attack. As I rushed up to the cordon, I yelled out to the soldiers that I was press. They responded by waving me away. I tried to ask one soldier a few questions about what had happened. Traffic streamed around us and cars horns beat out a cacophonic concert. “Can’t talk to you, sir, go away,” he said. “Well, where was the attack?” I pressed. “I said go away,” he growled. “Can I speak to your commanding officer? Who is he?” “He said get the fuck out of here!” a second soldier screamed and both soldiers pointed their weapons at me. There are few things more threatening than seeing scared and pissed-off American soldiers pointing weapons at you. The Iraqis know this feeling well. I quickly retreated and returned to the car, shaken at the Americans’ hostility. This feeling of trusting no one has gotten to me; it’s palpable and the constant vigilance is exhausting. My mood is black and I can feel a depression that is never far away. Not writing for the blog is a source of guilt, too, but TIME has kept me so busy with stories that don’t bring me in touch with average Iraqis much. I’ve been moving between the CPA and the former members of the Governing Council. I also can’t seem to get excited over stories of abused Iraqis. There are so many and they have a numbing quality. Also, the hostility I...

Phil Ringnalda: Sam will be delighted to know that they validate out of the box. Charles will be delighted to know that they include both Last-Modified and Etag headers, and apoplectic over the way that when presented with the proper If-Modified-Since and If-None-Match headers to reply to a request with a 304 Not Modified, they instead return a 200, with the exact same Last-Modified and Etag headers, and the exact same content. I would share Charles's concern.  On the plus side, I'm pleased to see utf-8 used consistently throughout (in both the content and the HTTP headers, and in both the html and feed).  I'm also delighted to see feed autodiscovery being used. If you have an aggregator, or are running one of those popular planet* type of sites where you republish a combination of the feeds of others, then you really should make sure that you pass these aggregator tests.

Are bl0gs just?

Are bl0gs just? 01/08/2004 08:04 PM

Lou Marinoff described one definition of Justice as "doing the right thing at the right time." He continued by explaining that it means you have to define "right thing".

There are at least eleven ways of being right.

1. deontology - rules tell us what is right and wrong
2. teleology - The end justifies (or sanctifies) the means
3. virtue ethics - goodness comes from virtues, which are like habits
4. humanistic existentialism - what we choose to do determines what we value
5. nihilistic existentialism - "God is dead." And we killed him. So all moral bets are off
6. analytic ethics - "Goodness" cannot be defined or analyzed
7. correlative ethics - every right entails an obligation, and vice-versa
8. sociobiology - ideas of "right" and "wrong" are motivated by our genes
9. feminist ethics - women have different moral priorities: e.g. ethics of caring
10. legal moralism - if it's legal, it's ethical
11. meta-ethical relativism - each situation has its own unique ethical dimension

Aeons ago, Clay asserted that power-laws existed in blogs and that it was in-equal but fair. Maybe he is basically being a deontologists with a bit of legal moralism thrown in. The rules are fair so it's OK. Marko (a philosopher among other things) asks the question, "So the interesting question this raises is: What are the principles if satisfied that would show the blogging world to be a just institutional structure? And the meta-level question: How would we justify these principles to each other?" I know that Marko is an expert on "justice" and my simple explanation above is far to simple, but this dialog about whether blogs are fair, good or just forces us to examine what we mean by fair, right and just. I think that in order for us to justify these principles, we might need to define Virtue. (Since defining "right" is so difficult.) According to Lou:

Aristotle said that Virtue is the Golden Mean between two extremes. It was all about balance. "Rational" comes from "ratio". The idea was to triangulate from two extremes of vice. For example, Courage is the mean between cowardice and rashness.

I know Dave Winer likes the word "triangulation" and the blogs are good at that. Is it possible that blogs can help us get out of the echo chamber and achieve the Aristotelian Virtue of the Golden Mean? (I know many people disagree with this, but I continue to believe as I argued in my Emergent Democracy paper that this is possible.) da nah expresses her opinion that blogs are not an equalizing technology and that it is the a technology for the privileged. To her, fair (and probably just) isn't about having rules that are difficult to game, but rather about being available and designed to promote equality. She is probably more of a teleologist with a bit of correlative ethics and feminism thrown in. (Sorry, just playing with the labels a bit. Don't mind me.)

To finally tie it into the discussion about technological determinism vs social constructivism, I think we need to be aware that we have an active effect on how the architecture of this technology evolves. I don't think we can yet "show the blogging world to be a just institutional structure", but rather we can try to determine what is just and strive to make the blogging world into something we feel is just. This requires us to dive into some of the questions that even Aristotle didn't answer. What is right? What is just? Hopefully the tools themselves will help guide this discussion, but rather than be nihilistic or deterministic, I think we should be actively involved in a dialog that best represents a consensus of our views. In order for this to be just, we must try be as inclusive as possible of everyone and on this I agree with danah. The tool is not yet inclusive. I think that blogs are right in many ways, but are far from right in many others. How can we try to make blogs as right and just as possible. I think that this is the question that faces us today.

The Democrats have sent a msg to the faithful (including me) drawing our attention to some bad taste going on over at the W blog where they're quoting part of a Jack Dunphy column at Nationnal Review Online. The part quoted on the Bush site makes fun of the fire fighters and police officers who have come out in support of Kerry, saying that they're beer-bellied poseurs, not the working class, straight-talkin' rank and file. Big deal. It's some rabble-rousing flamery along the lines of calling Dean a Birkenstock-wearing, brie-eating, Volvo-driving, effete Liberal. It reads as dumb and emotive, but,...

Xeni Jardin: On today's edition of the NPR program "Day to Day," I explore the odd universe of MP3 blogs with with host Noah Adams. On these personal websites, music lovers trade and comment on rare finds, mashups, and unusual twists on familiar favorites -- and recently, major record labels have been taking notice in an unexpected way. During the radio segment, we'll play a few funky tracks scraped from the blogs, should be fun. Link to online archive for today's NPR "Day to Day" segment on MP3 blogs.
(Thanks to BoingBoing reader Skye Ashebrook for pointing me to tons of great, lesser-known MP3 blogs, and to Jason Schultz of the EFF who provided astute tech law insight for this story.)

Blogs + MLM, Argh 01/23/2004 02:18 PM
There was this message on the phone wanting to talk to me urgently; which has been happening a lot since I’ve been job-hunting. It was a fellow high up in EcoQuest International, who sell air-fresheners. He had a deal for me: he’s planning a “Dealer Education” tour up here in Canada, and if I could drive people to some of his sessions, he’d put me upstream from them in the MLM food chain. What’s old is new again. Or something.
