Kevin Kelly's True Films reviews 09/22/2004 02:38 PM

Mark Frauenfelder: Kevin Kelly has compiled a bunch of reviews of documentaries on his Cool Tools site. I want to go out and get every one. He just sent out the latest batch to subscribers to his Cool Tools mailing list, which he hasn't put on his site yet. I'm sure he'll get around to it soon. In the meantime, here's an excerpt from one of his latest reviews (for Colonial House):

The premise is somewhat familiar now. Take a hopelessly modern family and stick them in the past, as authenticated by historians, and make them live with only the tools and resources available centuries ago. In this case, the modern Americans are sent to live in the summer of 1628, on a forested island off of Maine. Their task: build a new world colony that can both survive and pay back its investors in England. ... Cameras record every detail as the pudgy newcomers scrounge for food, learn how to farm Indian corn and build with the most rudimentary tools, all the while wearing appropriate clothes, slowly starving, and assuming appropriate roles such as indentured servants with astounding ease. Who knew how easy devolution was?
(You can subscribe to the Cool Tools mailing list here. It's free, but you have to send him one review for Cool Tools to get on the list!) Link

James Patrick Kelly, my friend and mentor, is one of the finest short story writers working in science fiction today. His stories are like perfect little gems, and his advice on story-writing was the most important artistic advice I've ever received.

Which is a preamble to some of the best news I've ever imparted: Jim Kelly is releasing audiobooks of his stories on teh net under a Creative Commons license. I know what I'm gonna be listening to before bed and on the tube this month. Link

Congratulations, Kevin


Congratulations, Kevin 03/17/2005 03:47 AM

So Kevin Martin has been named the new Chairman of the FCC. This is not exactly a surprise, although I'm a bit curious why it took so long -- there must have been some Congressional horse trading in the background.

As a told a reporter earlier this afternoon, Kevin has all the tools to be a successful FCC Chairman. He knows the agency and the White House, and he's more flexible and intellectually sophisticated than people give him credit for.

On the other hand, Martin has his work cut out for him. Michael Powell is a tough act to follow. And many critical issues raised during Chairman Powell's tenure -- from regulation of voice over IP to spectrum policy to universal service reform -- remain unresolved.

Moreover, to be an effective FCC Chairman in the 21st century, you have to grok technology. Deep down, you have to appreciate how quickly the world can change, and how many of the assumptions the communications industry is based on will likely be overturned. This doesn't mean being a professional technologist. Powell got it. So do some executives who come from the telephone business, like Jim Crowe and Dave Dorman.

Martin is certainly smart enough and interested in what the tech sector thinks, but the question is whether he's willing to step out of the FCC's Beltway box. Listening to what the telcos say about fiber deployment isn't the same thing as promoting technological innovation. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Kevin Sites dispatch from Tikrit:
"You're Either With Us..."


Kevin Sites dispatch from Tikrit:
"You're Either With Us..."
11/18/2003 02:03 PM
NBC combat correspondent Kevin Sites has just posted a new update to his blog, live from Tikrit. Excerpt:
So in some ways, embedded in this unit, I begin to feel I've betrayed the people that depend on me to be skeptical; to question the dominant powers and institutions of my nation and the actions it undertakes in the name of its citizens. I am not a military or American cheerleader, not a mouthpiece signed on some institutional agenda whether I believe in it or not. I am here to ask the hard questions of the people who make the hardest decisions; ones that result in people dying or people being killed. I must remember as one journalist advised, "write in your notepad every day 'I am not one of them.'"

But in this room, where every piece of information is broken down quantitatively--number of patrols, number of raids, number of IEDs (improvised explosive devices), number of detainees, number of weapons -- and put back together in the form of a task completed or a mission to be accomplished, Operation Thunder Road, Operation Ivy Cyclone, the problems and solutions seem remarkably clear an seductively simple. (...)

Image above: Al Auja is the birthplace of Saddam Hussein. The community here was very pampered during his rule. But now U.S. forces feels it's a nest of former regime loyalists and anti coalition fighters. It's wrapped the entire town in triple layered razor wire. Male residents must register and carry ID cards. There is only one checkpoint that all four-thousand residents must enter and leave through. This man was already cleared to exit, but spun his wheels in anger on the way out. A U.S. soldier had a bead on him with his M-16 before he stopped his car. The second search was bit more invasive.

Kevin Sites in Iraq -- "Toppled"


Kevin Sites in Iraq -- "Toppled" 04/12/2004 11:33 AM
Blogger and MSNBC combat correspondent Kevin Sites has returned to assignment in Iraq after a short break home in the US. A year ago last Friday, the famous statue of Saddam Hussein in Baghdad was toppled; Kevin has posted a new essay about the state of Iraq since then. But in light of the multiple hostage situations in Iraq right now, I want to mention one thing that he does not. This also marks the one year anniversary of his capt ure and subsequent release by Iraqi Fedayeen soldiers. We're glad that this story ended with Kevin free and unharmed. Snip from his latest post:
How did things turn so bad so quickly--in which a scattered insurgency gains broader support and the coalition Shiite alliance begins to crack? Some critics say it's a combination of a year of mismanagement by the Coalition Provisional Authority in which the lives of most Iraqis have not improved much since the reign of Saddam Hussein and the hardball tactics of occupation military forces that are alienating the people they were intending to help.

One member of a Ramadi-based Sunni insurgent cell who calls himself "Continuous Jihad" says the Coalition hasn't delivered on anything. "They break into houses in the middle of the night and arrest innocent people," he says, "and they've given us less then we had under Saddam. People are jobless, they distort our religion, and they're taking our oil and living in Saddam's palaces. Nothing has changed. They've become like him, yet they pretend they're here to help us."

Kevin Werbach's Radio Revolution


Kevin Werbach's Radio Revolution 01/16/2004 11:01 AM
The New America Foundation is offering up a new report written by Kevin Werbach called "Radio Revolution: The Coming Age of Unlicensed Wireless": The 52-page report offers a great history of spectrum regulation in this country as well as a good overview of the different types of wireless technologies used to date. But perhaps the most interesting parts describe a vision for the future where unlicensed spectrum and adaptive mobile phones rule the day. If a bunch of policy changes are made and technology continues to develop, Werbach describes a day when virtually anyone who wants to could have their own broadcast network. Then not only could anyone create content to broadcast to anyone, but people could use wireless devices to watch an instructional video to learn how to change a tire, for example, on the spot. A lot of the applications he envisions could be available in the near future with higher-speed networks that are in the works, but the content on the planned networks (particularly 3G networks) may be limited and expensive. He sees a much more open world where the creation and access of content is available to almost anyone....

Kevin Sites bl0gging from Thailand


Kevin Sites bl0gging from Thailand 12/29/2004 08:31 PM
Xeni Jardin: Blogger and NBC combat correspondent Kevin Sites was in Southeast Asia on a break from reporting duties when the tsunami disaster took place. He's now in Thailand, reporting -- and back on the blog again, dispatching photos and first-person accounts. Snip:
One-hundred and fifty-nine pine coffins have been stacked in the garage -- many of them big enough to hold refrigerators -- built to accommodate the now bloated and rapidly decomposing bodies inside.

Thai soldiers, wearing surgical masks, race against time to arrest the process -- before the bodies become impossible to identify.

In a well-choreographed drill -- they use hammers to smash square blocks of dry ice, carrying the shards on sheets of plastic and dumping them inside the coffins with the remains. They work at a very high tempo -- almost as if they were trying to rescue the living -- rather than preserve the dead.

On the sides of the coffins are photographs of the deceased as they were found, special attention paid to jewelry or tattoos, anything that can help in identifying who they once were.

The pictures are grisly -- bruised, blackened, bodies misshapen from the ferocious force of an angry ocean and all that travels with it. Old, young, small, large, South Africans, Australians, Canadians, English, Thais –- all victims of the earth's unrest on a day when she seemed to have precious little mercy.

Can Kevin Martin Grok Technology?


Can Kevin Martin Grok Technology? 03/17/2005 03:26 AM
As was widely expected, Kevin Martin will be taking over as FCC chair following Michael Powell's tenure. There's been lots of chatter about this, and the general consensus seems to be that Martin will be both good and bad in some ways. However, the most perceptive point may be from Kevin Werbach (who worked at the FCC), who points out that the real trick for an FCC head is to "grok" technology, and not to be a politician. So far, it's not clear that Martin meets that criteria. The FCC position is really a technology job, not a political one -- and playing politician over technologist will end up creating many more problems than it solves.
