Tom DeLay thinks of the children. The GOP House Leader is attempting to create a charity fund for abused and neglected children. Oh, the fund also pays for "late-night convention parties, a luxury suite during President Bush's speech at Madison Square Garden and yacht cruises" during the 2004 GOP convention. Unlike election funds now restricted by Campaign Finance law, donations to DeLay's semi-charity will be tax-exempt, and of course completely unreported to election officials. (NYT Link)

A foundation has been established to help the Iraqi orphans that survived the January shooting (earlier Mefi thread) by American forces. There's also more recent information about the shooting in this Newsweek article. Check out this BoingBoing post to read an e-mail from the photographer that witnessed the shooting and is now establishing this foundation.

Fund established to help Iraqi orphans

Fund established to help Iraqi orphans 03/24/2005 08:15 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: In January, I wrote about the tragic shooting of an Iraqi family by US soldiers that orphaned nine children. Today, a Boing Boing reader named J. Tony Smith emailed me with some good news. The photographer of the heart-stirring images reports that a fund has been established to benefit the children. The following is from an email that the photographer sent to Tony and other people who were moved by the photos.

I'm Chris Hondros, a photographer for Getty Images, and if you're getting this email you wrote me in the aftermath of the terrible incident I photographed in Tal Afar, Iraq, in January.  If you recall, five children were orphaned by U.S. troops who mistakenly shot up their car when they approached a foot patrol.  The pictures of the incident have run all over the world and already done much to address the issue of checkpoint shootings in Iraq. 

Many of you expressed a desire to help the family; I'm happy to report that a website for donations has now been set up, www.hassanfamilyfund.org.&# 160;  Money donated to the cause will first go to arranging medical care for Racan, a boy in the car who's spinal column was damaged by one of the bullets and will never walk again unless treatment outside of Iraq is arranged for him.  (Humanitarian workers and others in Iraq are working toward this now.)  Excess funds will go to the extended family (the Hassan's had nine children) and to civil projects in Tal Afar itself, most likely a school built to commemorate the deaths. Any help you can give will be appreciated.

Saving TiVo

Saving TiVo 08/30/2004 12:15 PM

I'm quoted in this Kin Girard article in this mnth's issue of Business 2.0. Only problem is - you can't see the entire article unless your subscribe.

Oh well.

Anyway - here's the opener to the article.

It's been written off by the experts. But thanks to a Silicon Valley software legend, the company that invented digital video recording says it's about to change the way we watch TV -- again.

By Kim Girard, September 01, 2004

Obituaries for the nearly departed TiVo Inc. (TIVO) have been written up for months now, all ready to go when the sad day comes.

They're poignant, these eulogies. There's the part about how feisty little TiVo created a beloved and revolutionary product -- the digital video recorder -- on a shoestring. The word TiVo, like Google and Xerox (XRX) and only a handful of other product names, went on to be used to describe what the gadget does -- in this case, learning what you like to watch, recording similar stuff for later viewing, and allowing you to pause or otherwise time-shift live action. TiVo promised to transform television, advertising -- hell, the culture itself, not least by sparing humanity from having to sit through commercials. Alas, it burned through $567 million between 1999 and mid-2004, and was run down by huge and ruthless competitors that mimicked its technology. But take heart, the eulogists conclude: TiVo will always be with us -- as a verb, if not a company.

There's at least one problem with that scenario, however. His name is Arthur van Hoff. He's an obscure but revered high priest of software coding. And he thinks he's devised a way to pull TiVo back from death's door.

[Business 2.0]

Here's my quote:

" 'Strangeberry works and it's totally cool', says Marc Canter, co- founder of Web media tool maker Macromedia, who was given an early view of the technology."

It does. I am. Here comes TiVO - again.

The only question remains - is it pronounced TeeeeeeVOH or TehVoh. Inquiring minds wanna know.

Saving Energy Without Derision

Saving Energy Without Derision 09/18/2004 01:15 PM
Xeni Jardin: BoingBoing reader George W. Maschke says,

Saving Energy Without Derision (5 mb PDF) is a new (and free) e-book by former Sandia National Laboratories senior scientist Dr. Alan P. Zelicoff. This book is intended to be a real-world, no-nonsense, thoroughly documented collection of easy-to-implement recommendations to help the average thoughtful person to pick the "low-hanging fruit" of conservation and renewable energy. The author is after the easy 75% of actions we can all take (but almost uniformly ignore) that most certainly make a difference in energy costs (after all that's what most people care about) and adjuring a bit of unnecessary adverse impact on the environment (which a few folks actually think is important beyond the mere dollar valuation).

The author (who welcomes comments at zalan8587@qwest.net) intends to continuously update the book (consistent with readership interest) and address many new topics. For example, next on his list is an analysis of the economics and scientific basis of fuel-cell vehicles powered by hydrogen. (Bottom line, he maintains, is that it's a cruel hoax and energy disaster, and far less useful than, for example, heavy hybrid automobiles that get about 50 - 60 miles on an electric charge alone -- which accounts for more than 85% of driving in the US and elsewhere on a daily basis -- and which are available now.)
