Martin Luther King's kind of
bureaucracy: the FAA

Martin Luther King's kind of
bureaucracy: the FAA 06/22/2005 02:23 AM

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." -- MLK, August 28, 1963

In the last couple of weeks I applied for a National Science Foundation grant (to go to Antarctica as part of their artists and writers program) and an FAA flight instructor's certificate, both of which involved cumbersome Web-based application systems.  The NSF won't let you proceed with any application unless you tell them your race, your sex, and your "ethnicity" (Hispanic/non-Hispanic).  They say that they won't look at an application unless the cover sheet includes an explanation of how you are going to spend the money in a way that helps what they call "underrepresented groups" (i.e., you're supposed to say how you are going to hire people with particular skin colors or sex chromosomes).

In using the FAA system a few days later it struck me as odd that they didn't ask my race, sex, or ethnicity.  In fact this might be one of the last government agencies that handles applications for its services without regard to race, sex, or ethnicity.  The FAA doesn't say "We really like your skin color, Mr. Airline Transport Pilot certificate applicant, so for you we're going to cut the required number of hours of experience from 1500 to 500."

[In case you're curious, the NSF won't let me know for some weeks but folks who've gotten the grants say that one is almost always denied as a first-time applicant.  I passed my flight instructor test with the FAA examiner (3.5 hours of oral exam plus 1.7 hours of flying a rented Piper Arrow with retractable landing gear).]

Steve Jobs, the "king of digital cool"

Steve Jobs, the "king of digital cool" 11/17/2003 12:45 PM
By raising Apple's mind share, pushing the innovation envelope, and being the "king of digital cool," Steve Jobs has been included in CRN's Top 25 Executives of 2003 list. On the back of strong digital lifestyle offerings like the iPod and iTunes Music Store, Jobs has made Apple a household name where digital music is concerned, and again forced competitors to copy Apple's products and business ideas in order to remain in the game. Jobs is the driving force behind most decisions...

My 3 Sons 06/20/2004 05:17 AM

My eldest son Aryeh graduated from 8th grade last week.

That was the same day my laptop lost it's second hard in 6 months.

So it's taken me this long to let you all know how proud I am of Aryeh. His brothers Jacob (L) and Aron (R) are flanking him.

A new Probe Droid has just been launched; as we received quite a bit of reader feedback on this when it was first announced, we thought it would be a good idea to see where collectors stand on Hasbro's decision to use the same body for two seemingly unrelated figures; Tanus Spijek and J'Quille. It's a practice use for such characters as Lt. Dannl Faytonni and Achk Med-Beq, as well as the new Imperial Dignitary figures, but has Hasbro gone too far this time? Look for the new Probe Droid ballot now and cast your vote today!

Are there any other good chronologically-arranged artist's websites out there? Or do painters habitually avoid them to prevent the detection of similarities and obsessions?

Interviews With Martin Fowler

Interviews With Martin Fowler 12/31/2002 01:58 AM

In this six-part interview, which is being published in weekly installments, Fowler gives his views on many topics, including refactoring, design, testing, and extreme programming.

In Part I, Fowler makes the business case for refactoring and testing, and describes the interplay between refactoring, design, and reliability. In Part II, Fowler discusses design principles of avoiding duplication, separating presentation and domain logic, being explicit, and describes how refactoring depends on code ownership. In Part III, Fowler differentiates between planned and evolutionary design, suggests that focusing on superficial problems can lead to the discovery of substantial problems, and claims that doing a good job won't slow you down.

In Part IV, Fowler discusses design decay, flexibility and reusability versus complexity, four criteria for a simple system, and interface design. In Part V, Fowler describes the unhurried quality of test-first design, defines monological thinking, and distinguishes between unit and functional testing. In this final installment, Fowler describes how to balance maintainability and efficiency and create tunable software, and discusses the role of patterns and the Agile Software Manifesto.

The Martin Government Is Toast

The Martin Government Is Toast 04/07/2005 10:28 PM
One the one hand, you’ve got a minority government that’s just been caught laundering a million bucks through corrupt ad agencies back into its own coffers. On the other hand, you’ve got a weak and divided opposition; I for one am unconvinced they’d govern better. Doesn’t matter; when a government acts this badly it just has to be spanked, pour encourager les autres. Go on Stephen, Jack, and Gilles, pull the damn trigger already and let’s have an election and give the Liberals a dose of opposition. It’ll make us all feel better, and our politics are strongly enough centre-loaded that it’ll be hard for the next government to do too much damage. It’ll probably be another minority government anyhow, which is probably a good thing at this stage.

ISC Pre-conference session with Martin

ISC Pre-conference session with Martin 05/14/2004 03:37 AM

I'm here in Switzerland at the University of St. Gallen ISC-Symposium again. I spoke at a leadership session last year about Emergent Democracy, but felt I didn't get the most out of the conference because I didn't get a chance to get to know the students who were attending, which is why I came. The 200 or so students attending this conference are chosen from hundreds of paper submissions from all over the world and they are an diverse and interesting group. In the addition to the students, there are a lot of government and business big-shots, but I get a chance to hang out with most of these guys at other conferences. I later found out that my friend Martin has been giving the pre-conference talk to just the students to prepare them for the conference and he said that this was a blast because he got to know the students.

This year, I asked the organizing committee and was able to get them to let me participate in the pre-conference too. Martin and I got a chance to do our respective rants about politics, racism, war and a variety of other topics. We asked the students to talk about what they thought was wrong with the world and their respective regions. It was quite enlightening and we had a great mixing dinner afterwards. There were people from just about every region, but the small number participants from the Middle East and North America was interesting. I could tell that the students were actively networking and I think this process can form the basis of a really important channel of communications for the future.

I talked a bit about the possibility of using social software to support this sort of global networking so I hope everyone takes a look at blogging, wikis and other tools.

Can Kevin Martin Grok Technology?

Can Kevin Martin Grok Technology? 03/17/2005 03:26 AM
As was widely expected, Kevin Martin will be taking over as FCC chair following Michael Powell's tenure. There's been lots of chatter about this, and the general consensus seems to be that Martin will be both good and bad in some ways. However, the most perceptive point may be from Kevin Werbach (who worked at the FCC), who points out that the real trick for an FCC head is to "grok" technology, and not to be a politician. So far, it's not clear that Martin meets that criteria. The FCC position is really a technology job, not a political one -- and playing politician over technologist will end up creating many more problems than it solves.
