Hourly shots of coffee beat a cup

Hourly shots of coffee beat a cup 05/17/2004 01:12 PM
Tossing back two shots of coffee each hour may provide more sustainable stimulation than gulping down a large cup in the morning, scientists from Rush University Medical Center report in the journal Sleep. In the study, sixteen men stayed in windowless rooms for nearly a month while the researchers screwed with their circadian rhythms. From a Scientific American article about the findings:

"In the new study, the scientists... tested the effects of administering an hourly, low dose of caffeine equivalent to about two ounces of coffee to one group, while the second group received a placebo. The caffeinated men performed better on cognitive tests than the control individuals did, and dozed off less often. And though they received the same cumulative dose as subjects in previous, single-dose studies, taking many small doses minimized some of the negative side effects that caffeine can have, such as tremors."

Nurses Bidding On Their Work Schedule,
Hourly Pay Rate

Nurses Bidding On Their Work Schedule,
Hourly Pay Rate 12/08/2003 04:53 PM
When I was in business school we had a convoluted computerized bidding process (on a Vax) to get into various classes. Now, with the success of eBay, it seems that everything is becoming auctionable. A hospital in upstate NY is using an online bidding process to fill open schedule spots for nurses. The nurses get to log in, see what timeslots are open, and bid how much they'd want to work those hours. If they match the necessary qualifications the lowest bidder wins. The nurses find that they can make more money than their standard wages (or augment their standard wages) by picking less desirable times to work (which sometimes are more convenient for them). The hospitals save money by not having to hire outside nurses (at much higher rates) to fill open timeslots.

Prix Ars Electronica prizes announced

Prix Ars Electronica prizes announced 05/05/2004 08:10 AM

The winners of the Prix Ars Electronica have been announced.

I was on the Digital Communities jury this year for Ars Electronica. Thanks to the two jury pre-selection and final jury process, we were able to spend a lot of time on the 60 or so entries that were selected from hundreds of submissions by the first jury. We had an awesome jury. The final jury was me, Andreas Hirsch, Shanthi Kalathil (co-author of Open Networks, Closed Regimes: The Impact of the Internet on Authoritarian Rule), Jane Metcalfe (co-founder of Wired), Dorothy Okello (Coordinator of the Women of Uganda Network), Howard Rheingold (the Smart Mobs guy ;-) ) and Oliviero Toscani (The guy who made the controversial Benetton ads). We gave our two Golden Nica cash prizes to Wikipedia and The World Starts With Me. I'm sure everyone knows Wikipedia. The World Starts With Me is a project from Uganda.

"The World Starts With Me" is a sex education and AIDS prevention project that simultaneously gives young Ugandans the opportunity to acquire Internet and computer skills. The program is aimed at school children and young adults. To reach this target group, 52 "Telecenters" (facilities equipped with IT infrastructure including PCs with Internet access) have been set up throughout Uganda. The program focuses particularly on 12- to 19-year-olds, with the objective of improving their understanding of sexuality. The website features a very attractive, inviting design and takes a playful approach to mediating complicated content, which is presented in a way that enables young people to recognize situations confronting them personally in their everyday lives. This program is very popular in Uganda and is being used in many schools and institutions.

Now if only "The World Starts With Me" would make a wiki page...

Creative Commons won the Net Vision Golden Nica. Yay! (I wasn't involved in that jury and this was a pleasant surprise.)

Our honorary mentions were:

• Cabinas Publicas de Internet


• Children with Diabetes


• Daily Prophet - Very cool work based on childrens' derivative works based on Harry Potter


• DakNet: Store and Forward


• Del.icio.us


• Djursland.net


• iCan


• kuro5hin


• Kythera-Familynet


• Lomography


• Nabanna


• NYCwireless


• Telecentre Communautaire Polyvalent Tombouctou


• Wikitravel - I love their Creative Commons license which allows commercial use with attribution.

Journalism

Pulitzer Prizes Show Strength of Big
Journalism 04/09/2004 04:00 PM

Check out the winners of the 2004 Pulitzer Prizes. Ask yourself if bloggers, even though they do great work, could have pulled off the kind of journalism that turned into some of these winning entries, such as:

The New York Times' brilliant expose of worker mistreatment by a rogue company;

The Toledo Blade's series on atro cities during the Vietnam War;

The Los Angeles Times' in-depth examination of the Wal-Mart phenomenon. Reporting and editing of this caliber is why I hope Big Journalism survives and, despite its failings, thrives in the emerging world of grassroots journalism. Again, congratulations to all winners. The work makes me proud to be a journalist.
