Russia School Standoff Ends With 200

AP - The three-day hostage siege at a school in southern Russia ended in chaos and bloodshed Friday, after witnesses said Chechen militants set off bombs and Russian commandos stormed the building. Hostages fled in terror, many of them children who were half-naked and covered in blood. Officials estimated the death toll at more than 200.

Dead pixels instead of dead trees

Dead pixels instead of dead trees 12/22/2004 01:49 AM

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.

Dead Like Me - Dead or Alive?

Dead Like Me - Dead or Alive? 02/01/2005 09:59 PM
In television these days, there is hardly a show that doesn’t have the blood flowing or the boobies showing. It is hard to find a show that makes it on wit alone. Till a few weeks ago, I thought I had found the saving grace with Showtime’s original show, Dead Like Me. I guess a few executives didn’t share my opinion. The fight is far from over though. In the past shows would have died…

I'm extremely tired - I have slept only a couple of hours in the past couple of nights.

Still, I feel as if there was something in the air. A lull before a storm. A pause between moments. There are signs of transition: things you see, things you hear, things you read. Things you feel. Things you have done.

I have a feeling that something will change soon. Hard to say in which direction.

Could be the spring, too.

A picture that tells the whole story: Where the US budget deficit is headed. From the NYT, link courtesy What Would Dick Think. The Next Great Distraction: We seem to be lurching from one short-term crisis (most of them manufactured, like the US social security 'crisis'), and blithely ignoring the longer-term threats that continually sit just outside the edge of our attention. While Bush is likely to keep his countrymen distracted for at least four years by stealing their social security and planning his next imperial adventure in Iran, the rest of the world is likely to be distracted by another crisis that is just waiting to happen -- a global pandemic caused by new strains of influenza jumping the species barrier. We've brought all these crises on ourselves -- overpopulation, overcrowding, and reducing the diversity of life on Earth to the point all the nodes of the ecosystem are rendered horrifically fragile. But the greatest danger us that these short-term crises are tangible and demanding of immediate attention, distracting us from making even an iota of progress on the critical but not yet urgent issues like global warming. Voyeur's Delight: Opentopia is an open source directory of some weird and wonderful online stuff. Its newest feature is online webcams where you can see what's happening in various public places all over the world. First one to spot a terrorist wins a prize. Thanks to The Pre-Surfer for the link. How to Be a Consultant: Also courtesy of Presurfer, this site humourously and candidly tells you what you should do, and not do, to succeed in the wacky world of consulting. Hilarious and very true advice. What First Amendment?: A recent exhaustive survey suggests most American schools don't teach students what the First Amendment is, or why it's important. Not surprisingly, therefore, it also finds most students don't know, or care. Dave Gets Another Blog Award Nomination: How to Save the World has received a lot of award nominations, but its lack of focus generally means that it just doesn't 'fit' in any of the categories well enough to compete with single-subject blogs. For example, recently I was nominated as 'Best Single-Subject Blog', prompting one voter to ask me "which of the 40 subjects you write about is this referring to?" I've also been nominated recently as Best Canadian Blog, which is remarkable since I almost never write about Canada. Needless to say, I'm still award-less. Now I've been nominated for Best Business Blog, and while that's not all I write about, at least I have a whole category on the subject. Since some of the other nominees are promoting their nomination to stir up votes, I thought I'd at least make an attempt to try to win one award. If you think my blog warrants consideration as Best Business Blog, please take a look at the nominees and consider voting for me here.

It's Lönnrotin/Kalevalan Päivä again and this year, aside from promising myself that I will read the Kalevala straight through, I will finally learn how to say Lönnrotinkatu without writing it down for the taxi driver who invariably gives me the "where in the fuck?" look or explaining that I'm talking about the street between Bulevardi and Kalevankatu, the one that begins with 'L' and ends in 'u'. I think it is the only street downtown that has L or Lö as the first letter[s]. My life is full of small, insignificant, yet daunting ambitions.

A few of the bloggers writing so well about the role of individual and community take Doc and me to task (or, better, to school) for portraying the Internet as a world of ends when in fact those ends are joined in webs of personal connection. Of course that's right. And since Doc is the "Web is a conversation" guy and I'm the "Small pieces loosely joined" guy, we're on record as agreeing with that insight. So why do we misleadingly talk about "ends" in World of Ends? Good question... First, that's the language in the paper from which...
