In the aftermath of the tsunamis that devastated Asia in late December 2004, observers pointed out that lack of official, credible information gave victims and governments in the area little prior warning of the impending disaster. Although still in the developmental stages, a partnership of the Global Disaster Information Network (GDIN) and the Organsation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is creating an information system that may significantly reduce the impact of future natural and manmade disasters. Native American Pueblo and Navajo Nations in Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado are providing pilot sites for the GDIN system. [PRWEB Jan 5, 2005]

A Gateway to disaster?

A Gateway to disaster? 09/26/2004 12:51 PM
There was a time, once, when I didn’t need a computer. Somehow, a pen, some paper and a word processor were enough to get my words across — and if you had asked me what a gigabyte was, I would have simply walked away, confused. My, how times have changed. When I was entering college, computers were just beginning to hit the mainstream, and I can remember using my friend’s Performa to get those last-minute term papers written. To be honest, I wasn’t particularly impressed … which is not to say I was unimpressed either; I was merely a clueless word-processing neophyte who saw a computer as a logical transition from an electronic typewriter. To be honest, the first time I really noticed a computer was when a friend of mine brought home his brand new Gateway desktop. Between the cow-spotted box and the bright screen (at least as compared to my friend’s Performa), it was my experience with Gateway that convinced me to buy my first computer. Then, three years later, I bought a Mac, and I never looked back. Gateway, however, has, and it's not a <A HREF="http://www.pcmag.com/slideshow/0,2394,l=135602&s=400&a=1356 03,00.asp">pretty sight</A>. So, what happened. In 1997, Gateway was at the top of the charts, but by 1998, they had crashed — in more ways than one: Its stock plummeted, its designs faltered, its creativity suffered, and its outlook turned oh so bleak. Now, if the stock drops a dime, that's 2 percent of the company's worth. It's unfortunate how these things happen to tech stocks. More than any other sector, the tech market’s volatility have kept investors at bay for years, wary of even the slightest fluctuation in earnings or sales. On a good day, it's enough to drive a CEO to drink; add a high-priced Google and a bloated Apple to the mix, and there might be a few job openings in upper management. Seriously, though, these types of booms and busts are most certainly cyclical, and every few years a stock comes along that performs better than the rest, with numbers breaking recent company highs and products that have got everyone talking. Kinda like Apple. Kinda like now. In February 2001, after cutting some 3,000 jobs, icing plans for 60 retail stores and drastically cutting its number of possible PC configuration, Gateway announced that it was "shifting back to primarily selling computers, after pursuing a strategy aimed at selling services and peripherals, so-called 'beyond-the-box' revenue. Executives said Gateway will focus on selling computers first, instead of pushing a combination of products from the outset." Which is to say that Gateway shifted away from a profitable sub-business to refocus its efforts back on its bread and butter. So too, with Apple and iPod. I've written several columns examining Apple and iPod: Some have explored Apple's shift from manufacturing computers; some have suggested making iPod its own brand, but throughout it all, the iPod has carried Apple through supply slumps and sales speed bumps. The truth is, without iPod, Apple’s stock wouldn’t be anywhere near $40. Tech stocks have proven that investors cannot live on computers alone. Of course, if anyone can do it, Apple can. While Gateway still hasn’t found the formula that made it so popular in the mid 90s, Apple continues to push ahead, straddling two markets with dexterity, and (thus far, anyway) succeeding at both. But it remains to be seen whether the iMac will sell. And after nearly 16 months, the Power Mac doesn't have much more juice than it did upon its introduction. Whatever happens with the fourth quarter (which ends Thursday), it seems as though Apple doesn’t have too much to worry about at the moment. But eventually, a decision will need to be made — Gateway chose poorly and has never recovered. Somehow, I think Apple will get this one right.

On Monday I announced that 100% of my revenue from FeedDemon and TopStyle this week will go to disaster relief, but I'm far from the only software developer making a contribution. Here's a list of other developers who are donating from their earnings:

• Fog Creek Software
• Blogjet
• iPodderX
• Whirling Dervishes and Neobyte Solutions

If I missed anyone, let me know by posting a comment or trackback and I'll update this list.

Greg Hughes is right:

"This is the right time to stop what you normally do, get out of your little digital world that you assume is all-defining and all-encompassing (it’s not, really) and come back to reality...Very real people are experiencing very real pain, and you can do your part to help them recover."

Until the end of the month, everything I earn from TopStyle and FeedDemon will be donated to the International Red Cross to help those affected by this disaster.

Shuttle disaster down to bad glue

Shuttle disaster down to bad glue 08/14/2004 08:10 AM
Just over a year and a half ago, a 'suitcase sized chunk of foam' broke off and did serious damage to the space shuttle Columbia. Hitting the shuttle's left wing, its damage would cause the shuttle to break up on re-entry. The investigation into the disaster has recently completed its work, and has come to a conclusion on exactly what happened.

The Columbia Accident Investigation Board concluded that the fault was not with the foam, but with the way it was applied; by hand and stuck on with glue guns. The process left many places still exposed, allowing liquid hydrogen to seep in. As the hydrogen warmed up, it expanded, causing the pieces of insulating foam above it to pop off, with seemingly lethal force.

NASA officials commented that “It was not the fault of the guys on the floor; they were just doing the process we gave them." NASA are now attempting to get the fuel tanks recertified, and ready for space flight. The tanks now face tighter regulations. At $40 million per tank, they represent a massive investment for NASA.

Disaster Relief News 01/06/2005 09:25 AM
I just heard on the news another reason to give as much as you can to the tsunami relief effort. Congress is well on its way to approving legislation to allow all money donated to a recognized charity by January 31st to be 100% deductible from LAST YEAR’S tax bill. It’s not the reason to donate, but since it may not end up costing you anything out of your pocket, it could well be easier…

Even as a grim collage of mounting insurgent attacks, civilian beheadings by terrorists, and the general spread of chaos continues to darken the long shadow that's fallen over Iraq, the Bush campaign is launching a new TV ad focused on some other really, really important stuff. It seems they have a problem with their opponent's choice of leisure sport, and what it might say about his integrity. In the new spot, titled "Windsurfing", BC '04 cleverly flogs its Kerry flip-flopper theme, this time by showing Kerry tacking back and forth across the water, and announcing "John Kerry: whichever way the wind blows."
