01/16/2004 10:59 AM Thanks much to the 20 or so geeks who came out to The House of Orient
last night for the Geek Dinner. I snapped a few pics that didn't come
out terribly well. Oh, and you'll see a few folks have already pinged
the original post with TrackBacks to their write-ups too. As others
have noted, most folks seemed to know fewer than 4 or 5 other people
there, so there were a lot of interesting discussions. Several

be a fine idea, and the person I’m visiting said he’d even
organize it if there was any interest. So if this sounds like a good
idea, drop me a line; remember,

12/26/2004 06:51 PMI read that Robert
Scoble had announced a geek dinner at Cheesecake Factory for Thursday
night. Hored memories of bland over priced food rushes into my
mind, so I called Robert and said "Dude - come on, we can do better
than that! This is San Francisco!"
So first we tried Betelnut, but settled on
Lulus.
This is where Joi had a dinner a while back and we (Broadband Mechanics) had a X-mas
party there back in '99 - right before.....
So please join us Thursday night.
Last time there - it was a serious schmooze fest.

be held at Chaat Cafe - in
the shadows of Mascone - only a block away from Lulus. A virtual
upheavel erupted after my absurd suggestion to have a party at
Lulus.
But "no" - they complained, "it's too expensive, too
hoidy toidy!" they claimed.
"But it was OK for Joi, Sifry, Kim and Howard and all these
other coolio A-Listers, so why isn't it good enough for us?" I
asked?
Oh well - whatever.
So $5 wraps it is.
Thursday night - 6 PM. Be there or be square.

Replay Radio geek solutions to geek

Replay Radio geek solutions to geek
problems
09/21/2004 06:38 AMThe building I work in does not receive Radio receptions real good.
The guys and I in the office like to listen to a particular radio show
and we knocked our heads together for a while trying to figure out how
to improve the reception. Fixing the reception problem proved to be
impossible but we did find a geeks way to fix the problem.
I purchased Replay Radio and set it up at home to record the
network stream of the program. It saves the recorded stream in MP3
format every 30 minutes and dumps it in a directory that I have mapped
to a FTP server. I have a standard FTP client running on my desktop
that downloads the MP3 to my laptop which is connected to the network
and we load the MP3 up and listen to the program time delay.
My work does not allow for streaming audio. So to avoid confusion I
asked permission to do this via our IT department and promised to keep
the file sizes under control. They thought it was cool and gave the
thumbs up. It worked out so well that several departments do the same
thing and we have 2-3 national talk radio programs to listen to each
day. Albeit time delay but it works. [Replay Radio]
" Replay Radio is an incredibly easy way to record radio
broadcasts. It's like a "TiVo DVR" for the radio. Just pick your
favorite radio show, or select a station and a time range, and Replay
Radio records it for you. Hundreds of shows and stations are
pre-programmed, making recording as easy as point and click."

« A shrine to candle wax in the restaurant Kynsilaukka, the Finnish
equivalent to the Stinking Rose. »
I've begun to notice that restaurants and just about any place that
offers food and tables almost always have newspapers and magazines for
their patrons. These are, I presume, for those who are alone and want
something to read while eating instead of staring at the walls. Given
that a large percentage of the population in Finland lives alone, it
makes a certain amount of sense, but I still find it odd to gaze upon
a sea of tables occupied by people trying to read and stuff their
mouth at the same time, something I find quite difficult to do. I
don't remember too many places in the US, other than diners or
breakfast houses, that would offer newspapers for the patrons.
I always used to get take-away whenever I had no companion to dine
with as I viewed restaurants as a place to be social and would feel
very awkward were I alone. Sometimes I would take a book with me to a
local pub where I would sit at the bar, order a beer and a burger, and
read a little bit until someone would ask about the book or about work
or whatever just to start a conversation. I suppose I admire the
wherewithal it takes to take yourself out to eat, but there's
something incredibly lonely about it, too. Finns likely don't even
notice the silent ones in the corner munching away over the paper and
even if they did they'd likely think they want to be left alone. I
suppose they have to believe that.

Spam for dinner
01/22/2004 03:02 AMI'm at a dinner where we're talking about spam. There are high
level execs from many of the companies involved in email. One person
said that he thought we've seen the worst of spam and that it's
getting better. It's too bad I can't quote people with attribution,
because I think this is a totally unreasonable position.
We've now moved on to Internet governance and as usual, I haven't
heard a single opinion that convinces me that email isn't broken and
that it isn't just getting worse. We talked about pay to send, better
filters, re-inventing smtp, regulations... all of the usual. Yet
another fruitless discussion about spam. (yafudas). 17% of legitimate
email is not delivered. 81% of people in a recent survey are afraid of
false positives.

On my last night in Amsterdam for this trip, I had dinner with
Adam Curry at a meat house that reminded me of a bar in Mazomanie, WI,
many many years ago. We had meat and beer. So did everyone else.
It's really interesting walking around Amsterdam with Adam, who
is a very famous person here. People stare at him. Ask for his
autograph. I get some of the reflected glory, who is that guy with the
rock star? It's a pretty unusual thing for me.
Anyway, we talked about next things to do. It was good to get
some one-on-one time with Adam this trip. Now it's off the Schipol,
the Amsterdam airport, to go back to Boston, and whatever adventures
await me there.

Joe also told me about his cross country trip to relocate from

that the most fascinating bloggers find most fascinating. (Did that

Here is a conversation from the near future:
Bob: I am reading Don Park's Visual Thinking now. It's really
good.
Joe: Is that Park with an 's'?
Bob: No, just Park. Here. [Bob beams Joe Amazon URL]
Joe: Hmm. Reviews look good. OK, I ordered it.
Bob: ...
Joe: ...
On the surface, there seems to be nothing wrong. But notice
the type of question
being asked. With information at your fingertip, the need to
ask for information from
another person diminishes. So instead of asking about the
book, Joe is asking
about query terms. He could have also said “Could
You?“ and Bob
would have interpreted it as request to beam URL or search words.
I don't know about you, but it seems like technology is eating away
at the meat of
everyday social life, leaving just the bare bones.
In respect to blogging, I wonder how blogging affects a person's
life. More
opinionated? Less inquisitive about other people's opinions
because they are
already exposed to a wide range of opinions online? Nice
chewy topic I think.
