Me Too CD Kiosk Company Thinks They've
Come Up With Something New 07/07/2004 04:38 AM
Reporters have no sense of history. For years, we've been pointing out all these breathless articles about "burn-on-demand kiosks" for either software or music in retail stores. Every time, a reporter insists its such a brilliant new invention, ignoring every other time it's been created in history -- perhaps because every time it's been created in the past, it fails. Having worked with a few of these companies quite a few years ago, it's pretty obvious why they fail. Well over a decade ago there was a company doing exactly this called Personics (though, they started with mix tapes in an age before CDs). While they did run into problems dealing with the music industry, logistical issues were a large part of the reason they never went very far. First, using the devices takes time. So, if you're in a store, that means you either need an awful lot of these devices, or you end up with people waiting around to use the machines when they could be at home downloading music the easy way. Next, kiosks in stores break. People bang away at them and they break. Maintaining the machines is insanely expensive. It always makes it nearly impossible to make any money off of these machines. So why is it that the press loves to write the same story every few years when a new company makes all the same mistakes? I have no idea. This time, they try to spin the story as a "legal way to download music." Of course, there already are plenty of legal ways to download music that don't involve having to stand around in a store using a busted grimy computer.

As a boy living just outside Newark, Delaware my favorite college team was the Fightin’ Blue Hens. I remember well when they won the Division II championship.

I also remember hating their various rivals—Temple, Lehigh, Villanova, and, most especially, Colgate.

Gimme a C! Gimme an O! Gimme an L! Gimme a G! Gimme an A! Gimme a T! Gimme an E!

What does that spell?

Toothpaste!

Anyway, now the Hens will face Colgate in the Division I-AA championship this Friday.

Go Blue Hens!

(It’s not lost on me that a fightin’ blue hen doesn’t sound as ferocious as a lion or a bear. Oh well. I probably shouldn’t mention, but I will, that the football team for the nearby high school is the Ballard Beavers. “You better get outta my way Mr. linebacker or I swear I’m gonna build a dam in this creek.”)

Meet Mia

One bit of joy amidst the sadness of leaving Creative Commons is the opportunity to introduce you to Mia Garlick, our new General Counsel. Mia is an IP expert who just recently came to CC from the Silicon Valley branch of the top-notch law firm Simpson Thatcher and Barlett, which she joined after getting her LLM from Stanford (specializing in Law, Science, and Technology). Before coming to the States, Mia had a far-ranging and powerful IP and media law practice in Australia, her home. I've gotten to work with Mia over the last two weeks and am wildly excited both for the staff and for her, as the great CC experiment continues to expand. Mia's strengths in media, international law, and science fit the organization's future needs to a T, and her quick wit and energy will make her a blast to work with, inside CC and out. Congrats and best wishes to you, Mia!

Meet Irene

Meet Irene 07/05/2004 04:11 PM

« A picture of a sentraalisantra [telephone operator] from Lapijoki, a small town in western Finland just north of Rauma, in the late 1930s or so. You can just feel the telephone wires burning with gossip. The deckled edge of the photo is especially nice since such touches aren't offered in modern photo prints. »

We went to Vammala with Jarkko's parents on Saturday for a big book sale, the Vanhan Kirjallisuuden Päivät. It was possibly the most crowded old book sale, outside of the Hay Festival, that I've ever been to as it was pretty mobbed which wasn't helped by the crappy rainy weather that kept everyone indoors. It's an annual event so I'm looking forward to next year's sale as we had a great time pawing through the tables of books when we could get close enough to them.

I think there must be a healthy number of postcard collectors in Finland judging by the number of booksellers who had a rather large selection of vintage postcards and paper ephemera to choose from, including the picture of Irene, the sentraalisantra in the center of Lapijoki, above for a euro. I picked up 2 interesting collections of postcards from Czechoslovakia and Pärnu, Estonia for just under 2 euro and a number of other Finnish postcards from the early 1900s. A particular series of postcards printed by Suomen Kuvataide Oy in the 1950s has consistently caught my eye but I can't seem to find much out about the company or the postcards from that era. I added to my collection a postcard of the Rautatieasema which still looks much the same today.

Linux desktop viability myths exploded 08/05/2004 03:43 AM
If you look on the Web you can find many examples of experts claiming that Linux is not ready for the desktop. Headlines like Why Windows still beats Linux and Why Linux isn't ready for the Desktop are all too common. In some cases, the commentators have valid points, but often they perpetuate myths that simply are no longer true -- namely, that Windows is easier, and that Linux application software is lacking. The problem is, the pundits are comparing apples and aardvarks.

I guess it's the perfect media player to showcase these TV spots -- Windows Media feels like it was invented by eastern european scientists who had KGB agents holding guns to their heads.

The WSJ reports on a service in the Czech Republic that lets users sell their Wi-Fi connections to their neighbors (link good for seven days): This offering isn't as good as a similar one from WideNet and Wia in the Czech Republic which will do the billing for customers. The WSJ article covers a company called CzFree.net which requires customers to buy over $800 worth of gear and then allows them to sell connections to their neighbors. There is no mention of CzFree.net handling the billing, which I think is pretty key. I wouldn't want to have to deal with trying to make my neighbors pay me for something. Also, it doesn't appear that CzFree.net has a deal with a landline broadband provider, like WideNet does, which makes the legality of reselling connections questionable....
