Milne heirs don't own Pooh

Milne heirs don't own Pooh 01/22/2004 03:35 PM
AA Milne's granddaughter has had her bid to recapture the licensing rights to Winnie the Pooh denied by a UK court. The Milne heirs licensed the rights to Pooh to Disney, only to discover that Milne had previously sold them to his literary agent, who is now suing Disney for all they're worth. The UK court ruling is the latest setback on the way to what could be the Disney company's financial ruination for (ironically!) trademark infringement. Link

And projects just go on and on and there's no resolution to them whatsoever and it's quite normal for them to take every working hour of the day and it's just as normal for you to have no real sense of what you've accomplished at the end of the day. I'm in a bit of a funk at the moment - trying to get some sense of what I'm accomplishing and how to accomplish it better - how to make something truly worthwhile and valuable. A lot is going out the window while I try to make better sense of everything. Back shortly...

Queen Elizabeth Pooh-Poohs Sony Remotes

Queen Elizabeth Pooh-Poohs Sony Remotes 06/24/2005 04:03 PM

Wow, Sony can't catch a break. First the Queen of England buys an iPod mini. Then, at a luncheon with new Sony CEO Howard Stringer—a known Englishman Welshman (Welsh, English, whatev! Don't make us bomb you.)—the Queen chided him for making products that are difficult to use. "I have a lot of trouble with your remote controls," she's quoted. "Too many arrows."

What Queen Elizabeth II neglected to admit, however, is that due to the long history of in-marriage in the Hapsburg line, she has only a single lobster claw at the tip of each arm.

Sony products are too much trouble - The Queen [Macworld]

The Washington Post gets it

The Washington Post gets it 06/09/2004 06:03 AM
Much of what civil libertarians feared about this administration turns out to be have been true. As the Washington Post points out in today's lead editorial, Legalizing Torture: This week, thanks again to an independent press, we have begun to learn the deeply disturbing truth about the legal opinions that the Pentagon and the Justice Department seek to keep secret. According to copies leaked to several newspapers, they lay out a shocking and immoral set of justifications for torture. In a paper prepared last year under the direction of the Defense Department's chief counsel, and first disclosed by the Wall Street Journal, the president of the United States was declared empowered to disregard U.S. and international law and order the torture of foreign prisoners. Moreover, interrogators following the president's orders were declared immune from punishment. Torture itself was narrowly redefined, so that techniques that inflict pain and mental suffering could be deemed legal. All this was done as a prelude to the designation of 24 interrogation methods for foreign prisoners -- the same techniques, now in use, that President Bush says are humane but refuses to disclose. There is no justification, legal or moral, for the judgments made by Mr. Bush's political appointees at the Justice and Defense departments. Theirs is the logic of criminal regimes, of dictatorships around the world that sanction torture on grounds of "national security." For decades the U.S. government has waged diplomatic campaigns against such outlaw governments -- from the military juntas in Argentina and Chile to the current autocracies in Islamic countries such as Algeria and Uzbekistan -- that claim torture is justified when used to combat terrorism. The news that serving U.S. officials have officially endorsed principles once advanced by Augusto Pinochet brings shame on American democracy -- even if it is true, as the administration maintains, that its theories have not been put into practice. Even on paper, the administration's reasoning will provide a ready excuse for dictators, especially those allied with the Bush administration, to go on torturing and killing detainees. Perhaps the president's lawyers have no interest in the global impact of their policies -- but they should be concerned about the treatment of American servicemen and civilians in foreign countries. Before the Bush administration took office, the Army's interrogation procedures -- which were unclassified -- established this simple and sensible test: No technique should be used that, if used...

Mr. Werbach Goes to Washington 02/18/2004 10:48 AM
I've been invited to testify next Tuesday before the Senate Commerce Committee on voice over IP.  I'll post more details when I get the formal invitation. 

I expect a more challenging environment than the FCC hearing in December. Some members of Congress are worried that, unless VOIP is subject to legacy telecom regulation, grave damage will be done to universal service, public safety, and national security.  This is simply not the case, but the concerns raise legitimate issues.  We need to separate fact from fiction, and social policy from the demands of special interests.

Want a job? Move to Washington, DC
area. 04/09/2004 04:11 PM

According to this Washington Post article, the unemployment rate in the DC area is the lowest in the nation.  In the well-educated Maryland and Virginia suburbs unemployment is between 1.6 and 2.2 percent, ridiculously low compared to the national average of 6.6 percent.  Best of all the standards for working hours and difficulty are set by the federal government.  A doctor I talked to said that she went to work for the Food and Drug Administration:  "It felt like a 2-year vacation compared to working in a private practice.  The funniest part was that the people who worked there complained about how hard their jobs were."

More Fiscal Recklessness from Washington

More Fiscal Recklessness from Washington 09/23/2004 09:08 AM

NY Times: Deal in Congress to Keep Tax Cuts, Widening Deficit. Putting aside efforts to control the federal deficit before the elections, Republican and Democratic leaders agreed Wednesday to extend $145 billion worth of tax cuts sought by President Bush without trying to pay for them.

The irresponsibility of these folks boggles the imagination. We know the Republicans have long since abandoned any sense of seriousness on this issue, but to see the Democrats -- who were the party of fiscal responsibility in the 1990s -- go the same way is disheartening. It's not a tax cut. It's just a delayed tax increase. For our kids.

Where in Washington, D.C. is Rev. Sun
Myung Moon? 06/23/2004 08:20 PM
BoingBoing reader Adam Rakunas says:

So, last March, a bunch of Congresscritters and religious leaders held a little ceremony in the Dirksen Senate Office Building for Sun Myung Moon, head of the Unification Church, owner of the Washington Times, and an all-around peach of a guy with a messianic complex like you wouldn't believe. During said ceremony, Moon and his wife are wrapped in ermine robes and crowned by an Illinois Congressman. The video appeared on the Church's site, some blogs found it, it got yanked, and now John Gorenfeld, whose site tracks Moon, has the video and has cranked out a BitTorrent of it. They can take away our press, but they can't take away our Torrents!

Link to your tax dollars at work heralding Rev. Moon's "declaration of God's fatherland and the era of the peace kingdom, the realiziation of God-centered families, and true peace."

Remote Washington Reservation Gets Wi-Fi

Remote Washington Reservation Gets Wi-Fi 04/09/2004 03:57 PM
Indians who live on the Sauk-Suiattle reservation in the Cascade mountains now have Wi-Fi covering the reservation: Twenty computers have been donated for residents. The project was initiated by the Economic Development Corp. of the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians. The same group also built a portal and planned to bring broadband access to the Makah Indians using Wi-Fi. In this case, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Verizon Avenue took part in building the network and donating computers. The Economic Development Corp. sponsored computer training for residents. I wrote a story about the Makah network and found that the idea here isn't to just deliver Internet access but to open doors for the reservation residents. Residents can take online educational courses and possibly work remotely for companies. One reservation in Eastern Washington built a sophisticated telephony network on the reservation in hopes of attracting some company to build a call center there as a way to create jobs. Otherwise, most residents must leave the reservation to find work. Eventually, the Economic Development Corp. plans to bring Internet access to reservations throughout the northwest and link all the networks together as a way to share ideas among reservation residents and build a broader community....
