Email After Death

Email After Death 11/10/2003 11:02 PM
Well, if we've really reach ed the internet's promise, then it should be no surprise that we start seeing bizarre internet services showing up again. I'm pretty sure I remember an identical service during the boom years, but now there's a new service to send out emails after you die. You can log in and type in messages to various loved (hated?) ones. They promise that the messages won't be delivered prior to death (and, yes, you can adjust the messages over time... if you remember to do so), but you can imagine how some of these could be a bit embarrassing if they get delivered too early. It's also not clearly explained how the service determines that you've died. I assume that someone needs to know you've signed up for the service and tell them - but that certainly leaves the service open to abuse as well.

Near-Death Company Springs To Life,
Thanks To Found Patents

Near-Death Company Springs To Life,
Thanks To Found Patents 03/31/2005 07:20 AM
Dan writes "Ampex is another company resorting to an arsenal of patents to keep themselves alive. Now, their stock price price has taken off." This story is an interesting one. The company has been around for quite a long time, and obviously has done some very innovative things over the years. However, its patent windfall seems like a fluke. It certainly doesn't sound like any of the companies they've convinced to cough up these millions of dollars really made use of these patents -- they just came up with the same concepts independently. That, of course, demonstrates the weakness of the patent system. The point of the patent system is to publicize the info, so that others can build on top of it, while compensating the original creator. The problem, though, is that if innovations are done entirely separately of the patents in question, then you could easily make the claim that the original patents aren't valid. They should only have been granted if they were "non-obvious" and if others are coming up with the same thing independently, it's difficult to claim it wasn't obvious to the skilled practitioner. Either way, while the article suggests Ampex is trying to build a business model out of this, it's hard to see how it's sustainable for more than a few years. Sure, they're creating a licensing program, but the patents will run out in a few years -- and they realistically lucked into this patent windfall. They've just been hanging onto them for years, and suddenly noticed they were relevant. That's not a sustainable business model, but a lucky windfall.

PC Mag Says Death to 802.11b (Almost)

PC Mag Says Death to 802.11b (Almost) 04/29/2004 04:15 PM
PC Magazine rounds up several 802.11g routers, and says they're cheap enough, they're good enough: 802.11b no longer enjoys a large enough (or any) price differential for quality Wi-Fi gateways that include WPA encryption support, PC Mag says. So while you can still find 802.11b devices on the market, they recommend new gear have 802.11g built in. The overall package of reviews and related stories in the issue starts here; use the table of contents at the right of that story to navigate through their guide to 802.11g, advice for buying, and reviews of individual routers. The Linksys WRT54G gets top marks for 802.11g with a score of 4.5 out of 5 points; but six other gateways received 4 of 5 points, showing how the entire Wi-Fi world has matured into more usability....

Being towards death

Being towards death 06/25/2004 10:37 AM
Being towards death Hanan Cohen intertwines the mortality of blogs with our own mortality: We think that we will live forever. We think that the files we have stored on machines powered by electricity will also live forever. Our files have no other purpose than to be online. We think that if our files are not available to the web, they are dead. In a way, thinking about the death of our files is like thinking about our own death. Meanwhile, over at Ereignis, the English-language Heidegger site, there's a link to Christopher Ellis' article that argues that Heidegger's ideas...

Death be not proud

Death be not proud 12/19/2004 02:59 PM

« Nathan Wood, Marine LCpl age 19, in Kirkland, WA. »

Aaron Huey sent me this photo that is featured on Sunday's Seattle Post-Intelligencer's front page and asked that I share it. My father was a Marine in the signal corps in one of those wars few remember and even fewer remember what the war was about. Fortunately, he didn't come home in a box as this teenager did. There just aren't words that describe what war is really all about better than a single picture. War is death. Death of people you know and love. Something to think about this week as families come together for Thanksgiving, some with an empty chair or two at the table.

I took this photo yesterday at the funeral of Nathan Wood, Marine LCpl age 19, in Kirkland, WA. Nathan was killed November 9 in Fallujah. His best friend, Garrett Ware, also a marine fighting in Falluja, was injured and sent home with a purple heart. In this image Garrett hugs Nathan's father, Rex Wood, at the funeral in Kirkland yesterday.

The Web Death Penalty

The Web Death Penalty 01/22/2004 02:10 PM
There are a few things that a Web site can do that are unforgiveable and should not be forgiven. For example, I just unsubscribed from MacNN (as in CNN, get it?) because on one too many occasions, I followed a pointer there and there was this fiolently offensive banner ad, flashing multiple colors at a high rate of speed, and saying “If the link above is flashing, you have been selected as a Winner! Claim here.” First of all, this is a lie, I have not been selected as a winner. Secondly, it hurts my eyes. Any Web site that runs this ad will receive no more visits from me, it is way, way, way beyond the bounds of what’s acceptable.

After 14 years of highly successful nationwide tours that began the trend of the multi-stage, summer super rock fest, Lollapalooza 2004 has been cancelled due to low ticket sales. I went to a 1991 show, and attended half a dozen other similar fests in the past ten years, but as I've gotten older I've become a bigger fan of the intimate club vs. the gigantic rock festival. Still, Lollapalooza being cancelled comes as a shock, especially considering the stellar line-up on both stages.
