Post-Tsunami Reconnect project

Post-Tsunami Reconnect project 12/29/2004 02:36 PM
Xeni Jardin: Author and wireless geek Mike Outmesguine announces a disaster relief project aimed at bringing connectivity to tsunami victims cut off from communications services by the disaster.

I am working to organize a disaster relief effort to help those affected by the Indian Ocean tsunami. I'd like to send wireless equipment and expertise to damaged areas to help reconnect the people. I'm still working out the details and will update you as more develops. It will be organized with folks from the Southern California Wireless Users Group, SOCALWUG and other wireless groups that wish to participate. I started calling it the Post-Tsunami Reconnect.

Xeni Jardin mentioned the effort today on Fox News Channel during an interview about bloggers and the tsunami. I will have a video excerpt available soon. Here is a statement I sent to the Center for International Disaster Information about the effort:

"We are a Southern California based user community of experts and advocates of wireless data communications. Wireless community members supplied technical expertise and wireless equipment for the Florida hurricane relief efforts and to military personnel stationed in Iraq. We would like to organize, collect, and deliver wireless data equipment to disaster relief workers and others in the affected region to help maintain a high level of communication and internet access ability. We would also be able to send engineers into the area to help bring connections online."

For more information or to discuss a donation of funds, equipment, or your expertise, contact Mike Outmesguine by email "mo at wifi-toys.com" or voice: +1-818-889-9445 ext. 102

Wireless Laptops Popular at Taylor! 05/20/2004 05:22 PM

Steve Oberg, Electronic Resources Librarian & Assistant Professor at Taylor University, posted the following statistics to the WEB4LIB mailing list today.

"Taylor University's Zondervan Library serves a mostly undergraduate student population of about 1,700. We have four wireless-enabled laptops available for checkout for general purpose uses including web browsing and library research. Our spring term is ending and out of curiosity I decided to tally up the circulation stats for them. It seemed by my observation that they were quite heavily used, in spite of the fact that we also have a large computer lab and several thin client workstations, but I wanted to know specifics.

I found out that for the spring term (about 90 days in length), three out of the four laptops averaged close to 170 checkouts each. The fourth laptop was out of commission for most of the time. The total number of circulations for all of them was just under 500. I'm a mathematical ignoramus but I think that averages out to about 5 1/2 circulations per day."

Lesson for all types of libraries: those kids are going to get out into the real world (public libraries) and the work force (special libraries) and their kids (school libraries) are going to expect wireless access. And that's not even counting today's adults that are already sitting at Panera every morning, surfing while sipping.

And they're all getting used to access information anywhere on portable devices.

They are coming... to your library....

Blowback: The Cost And Consequences of
American Empire plus War And Conflict In
The Post-Cold War, Post-9/11 Era 03/13/2003 10:25 AM
Chalmers Johnson is an provocative proponent of the American Empire theory, indeed. Here are excerpts from his Blow Back: The Cost And Consequences of American Empire

I heard Johnson interviewed on Episode II, War And Conflict In The Post-Cold War, Post-9/11 Era of The Whole Wide World

The Cold War and its central conflict - the physical and ideological battles between the United States, the Soviet Union and their proxy states - imposed a certain logic and consistency on the world. Take that away and add the bloody wars in the Balkans, Africa and the Middle East in the ‘90s as well as the terror attacks and warnings of more recent times and you get a very confused picture of a world at war. Is this breaking storm in Iraq about oil, democracy, freedom, empire, culture, water, diamonds, modernizing Islam or nation building in the Middle East? Some, one or all of these things?

It was an excellent program and well worth your listen, either by RA now or mp3 later. (From listening to the radio)

More about Spotlight

More about Spotlight 07/12/2004 07:13 PM

In reading John Gruber’s Spotli ght on Spotlight today, I was struck by something interesting:

One implication of Spotlight’s file-centricity is that its ability to search “email” might not apply to clients other than Apple Mail — it’s the fact that the new Tiger version of Mail stores each message as a separate file that allows Spotlight to effectively return individual mail messages as search results. No other major mail client uses a one-message-per-file storage format.

I haven’t looked into Spotlight in any depth (and, if I had, I couldn’t talk about it). But, if it’s true that Spotlight only looks at files, then this creates an interesting dilemma for all the developers whose apps don’t use individual files.

NetNewsWire, for instance, does not use a separate file for each individual news item. And NetNewsWire isn’t alone, of course—in fact, I think there’s a trend toward more and more apps like this, apps that store chunks smaller than most web pages and files. (What Anil Dash calls a Microcontent Client.)



And now for some trivia...

Little-known fact—years ago, back in 1996 (I think), Ranchero Software had a product named Spotlight. It was a search engine for websites: it used Frontier (which was freeware then) and Filemaker Pro and ran behind WebSTAR and similar HTTP servers.

Spotlight cost $99, and it didn’t have the success that, say, NetNewsWire has—but we did get an “It Shipped!” plaque from Apple, signed by Heidi Roizen. (I think. My memory may not be completely accurate on some details.)

Which is to say nothing in particular, except that the name Spotlight is pretty good for search technology. (And I highly doubt that we were the first ones to use it.)



At the time our company may still have been known as World Wide Power & Light. (Another piece of trivia.) We stopped using that name because it was way too long and because someone else was using it too. (Oops.) (We had a weird domain name: wrldpwr.com. One of those domain names that takes a half-hour to explain out loud.)

Here’s an old logo we never used:

No one could have taught me that in a classroom. <div class="infobox">What is your favourite food?</div> My favourite food is sushi. I like my sushi like I like my women, naked on a bed of rice, minus the rice. <div class="infobox">Do you have any pets?</div> I have a wild cat that goes by the name Kittay, there are some pictures of her in my gallery. I also have some fish but they come and go, so no need mentioning them. <div class="infobox">What is your favourite kind of fish?</div> To eat or to appreciate? <div class="infobox">Appreciate!</div> That would have to be the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a, hands down. <div class="infobox">What is the one urge you often get but never act on?</div> I guess since this interview is PG, it would be breaking stuff. I used to have a terrible temper as a kid, and my parents would send me to my room. I would get so upset that I would start smashing my own things, which would just make me more upset. I am glad I fight the urges to smash stuff now since I now work at a glass desk, that could be a expensive temper tantrum. <div class="infobox">What brought you to Spymac?</div> Macworld NY did in 2002, as well as the iWalk. I think I was in the market for a new laptop, and I wanted to find out if I should buy then or wait for an update, so through my research I stumbled upon Spymac. I used to go to other rumor sites, but never did they have a forums where I could nag people about when I should by my new PowerBook. <div class="infobox">What is your favourite Spymac forum?</div> The mod board, with the stripper pole and the... oh, you mean a public one? I used to like the RLD a lot, but you can only read about the same thing so many times, and I also found out way too much about other members - you just dont need to know how many anatomically correct chunks of rubber some people have. So I guess my favorite forum is the <a href="http://www.spymac.com/forums/threadlist.php?catid=9" target="_blank">Lounge</a>, since it's laid back and just general discussion. <div class="infobox">How do you like working at night time for Spymac?</div> I am being paid for being on Spymac, how do you think I like it? <div class="infobox">Have you made many friends through Spymac?</div> I have made several friends from Spymac. It has such a strong community base that I dont know how anyone on here couldn't make a ton of friends. <div class="infobox">Why didn't you join the rest of the Spymac team in Boston for Macworld?</div> Many reasons. Most importantly it was my girlfriend's birthday that weekend, and someone had to hold down the tech support fort. <div class="infobox">Which three Spymac members would you want to meet?</div> Meeting anyone would mean revealing my true self, and since the world isn't ready for me yet, I'll stay in hiding. <div class="infobox">If you had to be stuck on an island with three Spymac members, who would you choose?</div> I guess I would be stuck on there with AtariST, and a bottle of scotch. With Atari, I know we wouldn't be lost on that island for long, we'd be picked up pretty quick, and the scotch would make the awkwardness of just the two of us seem non-existent. What happens on barren secluded islands, stays on barren secluded islands. <div class="infobox">What kind of music are you into? Who is your favourite musician?</div> I am a huge fan of music, I like all genres, but if I had to pick a single one to top the list it would be hip hop. It is the biggest cultural movement since Rock and Roll in the late 50's early 60's. On top of it all stands Kanye West. It's about time we have someone with something to say other than they're gonna kill someone else. <div class="infobox">Would you ever pose nude for a magazine such as Playgirl or else for a large sum of money?</div> The adult industry already has a hedgehog, and well lets just say I'm not sure I could compete with his, um, "gifted" genetics. Although if I did, I think my back drop would be a funeral. You don't see enough naked people at funerals. I think it would really lighten things up a bit. In fact, that's a great idea, my funeral's dress code is gonna be birthday suits. That will take some of the attention off the dead guy in the box. <div class="infobox">When you first joined Spymac you had a reputation for causing a bit of trouble and you were sometimes a bit of a jerk. You later became a Forum Moderator and now you're working for Spymac. What caused this change in attitude with you on the site?</div> Hey now, are you saying I'm no longer a jerk? Well, when I first came to Spymac I figured I would stir up the pot a bit. I remember I used to rouse GadgetDon real good in the shouts about religion, and now I'm working with him. I guess the reason that I turned the leaf, so to say, was cause I was just too damn good at skirting the line and figured that if I could be so damn good at being bad then I might as well give the friendly thing a whirl. It's a lot better, cause now the shock factor is back when I want it, and now they pay me for being a jerk if I need to be. Hell, how can I complain with that? <div class="infobox">Your avatars are great! You should get some additional ones. Where did you get them?</div> <a href="http://www.spymac.com/member.php?memberid=2794" target="_blank">TimTheEnchanter </a> was kind enough to make them for me on his own time, he is a tremendous artist and was kind enough to do so, if you would like to see more contact him cause I know I sure do. <div class="infobox">If you could live at any time, past or present, what would you choose?</div> I think I would pick present day - I like things how they are. <div class="infobox">If your home was on fire, what would you grab on the way out?</div> If my home was on fire I would probably only grab my cat and my tower. Nothing pisses me off more than loosing my bookmarks and if I lost my MP3s I would have no reason to live. <div class="infobox">If you could be someone else for a day, who would it be and why?</div> I think I would be some real trashy female celebrity; maybe Paris Hilton or Britney. I'd run around all day doing all the things I have always said I would do if I were a girl, which would probably land me in the slammer. That would be OK since there are plenty of nasty things I could do in there still. Always wondered how easy it would be to be a girl and "get" your way out of jail. <div class="infobox">If someone gave you a few million dollars, how would you spend it?</div> On the market and make a few more. <div class="infobox">If you could see anyone in concert (time-travel is permitted), who would it be?</div> Wow, now thats a humdinger of a question. I would have to say Yo-Yo Ma, that would be one hell of a concert. Haha, all jokes aside, probably everyone at Woodstock in '69, especially Jimi Hendrix's rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.

Mel Gibson, the Jews, Haiti, and blaming
it all on people who died 175 years ago

Mel Gibson, the Jews, Haiti, and blaming
it all on people who died 175 years ago 03/08/2004 11:03 PM

People are blaming all of the Jew-hatred in Mel Gibson's new movie on the visions of a German nun, Sister Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774-1824).  According to this article from Newsday:

The bedridden visionary, who is said to have borne the stigmata and the wounds of the crown of thorns, is a particular source of contention for Gibson because of her depictions of Jews as bloodthirsty and venal. In The Dolorous Passion, for instance, she "sees" Jewish priests passing out bribes to get people to offer false testimony against Jesus and even tipping the Roman executioners. She also describes seeing Jesus' cross being built in the courtyard of the Temple in Jerusalem.

And Emmerich's 19th-century biographer, the Rev. C.E. Schmoe'ger, wrote about how she had one vision of an "old Jewess Meyr," who confessed to her "that Jews in our country and elsewhere strangled Christian children and used their blood for all sorts of suspicious and diabolical practices."

Gibson, who carries a relic of Emmerich in the form of a faded piece of cloth from her habit, vehemently rejects characterizations of the nun as anti-Semitic.

In other news... I was listening to NPR news a couple of days ago.  All of Haiti's current troubles were being blamed on things that the French did in 1825 and this proposition was discussed seriously for 15 minutes.  Haiti does seem to be in rather tough shape, at least going by the CIA Factbook page:

"About 80% of the population lives in abject poverty.  ... The economy shrank an estimated 1.2% in 2001 and an estimated 0.9% in 2002.  Literacy rate is 53%."

Despite an HIV infection rate of 6.1% and a lot of deaths from AIDS the population is still growing at an annual rate of 1.67%, i.e., there are an ever-increasing number of Haitians to share an ever-smaller pie.  (cf. Malthus)

Perhaps there are more problems in our world of 2004 that can be blamed on those French and Germans who died circa 1825...  Anyone care to suggest some dead Europeans to blame in the comments section?

Congrats to Roland and Boris and.....

They've just launched Bryght - a Drupal hosting service. I hung out with these guys a bit when I was in Vancouver and they're certainly a compelling reason for moving there.

Vancouver is hot.

Here's Roland's post....

Our latest venture is Bryght, a hosted Drupal service, "the Salesforce.com of community content". I am working with Boris, Richard, Adrian and James on this one. Yes, we are all Bryght guys :-) !

We have taken Drupal and combined it with web hosting and email to give you a one stop shop for your community content. No IT required, no muss, no fuss! Check out The lights are on at Bryght for more background on how this started. And if you know of an individual, organization or company that could use a Bryght site, please contact us.

Whither StreamLine you might ask? StreamLine continues and it will continue to resell Blogware blogs because we still believe that Blogware is the best individual blogging platform.

My father died

My father died 09/19/2004 05:50 PM

Some people come out over the web, others have been married or given birth.

For me - I'm going to deal with the death of my father.

He died while I was in Europe and I choice to deal with his death until now - as I was in the middle of a micro-content roadshow - my self-titled quest to create new kinds of standards - surrounding people, reviews, media, events and listings.

I decided that he would have wanted it this way.

I needed to give myself some time to get over the intitial shock that my father was dead and that I wasn't by his bedside when he passed. I had just seen him a few days earlier - as I came through Chicago on my way up to Michigan to be with Lisa, Mimi and Lucy (they were staying at her mother's house in Grand Haven, Michigan - right on a bluff overlooking the lake.)

I could have gone back. I could have blown off the roadshow and stayed by his bedside. But what's the point? Would it have made his passing any easier? Maybe.

Would it have helped me deal with his dying. Probably have made it worse.

Would it have helepd the family deal with

Was I afraid to sit there and watch him die? Hell yes!

So we headed to NYC for dinner #1 - and a party after at my friend Kenny Shaffer's. Kenny's TV2Me brings U.S. television signals to Monte Carlo and Moscow for rich gamblers who can afford cable TV accounts in NYC. He'd like to be able to do this legally.

I got to meet Scott Mathews and see A my Harmon pregnant with Sasha.

I got to meet some video bloggers getting ready to deal with the RNC. And we stayed at Marc Barrot's apartment - the main guy behind WebOutliner.

The image above is my eldest son Aryeh and I.

This Thursday's Frontline on PBS is covering the modern music industry in an episode titled "The Way the Music Died". It follows the industry rise after Woodstock in 1969, through music genre changes, and eventually how Napster and the Internet changed everything. It sounds interesting for musicians and music fans alike.

Lily Cheng from Microsoft Research is talking about how people represent themselves on line. The closer the friends, the fuzzier they want the representations. We need to make social tools fluid enough to account for the way people's lives change. We need easy access to friends and people important to us. We want sponatenous interactions. Lily's group went to a mall and asked people to draw their social interactions, and gots lots of circles and lines. Microsoft studied this and built a "personal map" that clusters people based on who they send email to (TO and CC) and how...

Business 2.0's blog reports that Atkins was skinny and healthy just before he died, no matter what the scandal-rags (which have been reporting that he was 60lbs overweight with heart disease at the time of his accidental death) say. Link (Thanks, Joshua!)

Boy, Gov. George Pataki and President Bush sure talked a lot about 9/11 Thursday night. I mean, a lot. A disturbing lot. At some point, for me -- and I think it was when Pataki was still talking -- the whole parading of the Twin Towers attack stopped being about "Look how America rose to the occasion" and started being a kind of porn.
