Then Sean McGrath fesses up to his Python habit: "I know I should be invoking a WF [well-formed] parser on the content.xml string but gee Ma, I've got work to do." ...

Ian McDonald's brilliant new novel,
River of Gods: Bollywoodpunk

Ian McDonald's brilliant new novel,
River of Gods: Bollywoodpunk 06/12/2004 05:23 PM
I just finished reading Ian McDonald's latest novel, "River of Gods," and my mind is whirling. River is the story of India's 100th birthday, when the great nation has fractured into warring subnations on caste, religious and cultural lines. Like McDonald's other great novels, the story is beyond epic, with an enormous cast of richly realised characters and a vivid, luminous vision of techno-Hinduism that beggars the imagination. Take, for example, Town and Country, a soap-opera acted out by AIs (or "aeais") who lead double-lives -- each AI character has another role, as the actor who plays the character, in a "meta-soap" where their squabbling, indiscretions and marriages are tabloid fodder for the soapi magazines that dote upon them.

This is just one of dozens of conceits in a novel that combines the best themes from books like Out on Blue Six and Desolation Road, handles them with the masterful hand visible in Scissors Cut Paper Wrap Stone and the Sturgeon-award-winning Tendeleo's Story, and folds in all the contemporary themes in sf like the Singularity and the cratering of cyberpunk memes and spits out a 575-page epic that I couldn't put down until I'd finished it.

Ian McDonald has been one of my favourite writers for some 15 years now, and the amazing thing is, he's getting even better. Link

News.com: The Google Gods: Does search engine's power threaten Web's independence? Just in time for Halloween! Only a few years ago, when traffic was more evenly distributed among search services, Web sites clamored to get free listings from familiar names such as Lycos and AltaVista. But the dot-com collapse led portals and search engines to sell sponsored links and license editorial results from a third party--a market that Google, based in Mountain View, Calif., has come to dominate since its founding in 1998. [...] Google software engineer Matt Cutts said that the search engine business is healthier and more competitive than ever, with many niche providers and international forces. "What we worry about is providing the best results to users; we don't worry about market share," he said. "That will all work itself out." Thanks, Konstantinos!...

Explosive sink and toilet plunger is a
gift from the gods

Explosive sink and toilet plunger is a
gift from the gods 08/16/2004 08:18 PM
I went to Home Depot over the weekend to buy two dollar's worth of hardware (pins for door hinges) and walked out with over $100 worth of stuff, of course. My prime pruchase was something called a KleerDrain instant drain opener, which combines the fun of explosives with the satisfaction of unclogging a sink.

I was a little wary of spending $30 on this gadget, which looks like a cross-between a plunger and a pogo stick. But Home Depot had one of those videos running next to the set-up, which showed clogged sink after clogged sink giving up its precious bolus of greasy hair to the explosive force of a CO2 cartridge unleashing its entire payload at once. Watching the guy on the demo using the device, with its rifle-like kickback and puff of condensed carbon dioxide gas, mesmerized me. The next thing I knew, I was racing home with my new KleerDrain.

I could hardly wait to use it on a slow-draining sink in the bathroom. I duct taped the overflow drain on the sink, and inserted a CO2 cartridge into the Kleer Drain. I screwed on the rubber cone and then pressed it into the drain opening.

WHAM! A shower of gray grime flew out of somewhere and splashed against the walls, mirror and ceiling. I wiped the junk off my face and turned on the faucet. The water whooshed down the drain, ending with a nice sucking sound, like it was wishing there were more water it could dispose of.

I think I'm in love. Time to stock up on more CO2 cartridges. Link

Camera Phones Rival DVD Players as Fastest Growing Devices Fly Off Shelves While Prices Plummet

"Teeny camera cellphones appear to be on pace to replace DVDs as the fastest-growing consumer technology device ever.

Introduced three years ago in Japan and less than a year ago in the USA, they've caught on so fast that Nokia and other phonemakers say most new phones from now on will have built-in cameras.

'They're becoming a standard feature,' says Nokia spokesman Keith Nowak at the Comdex technology show here. Nokia, the No. 1 cellphone maker, introduced six models in the past two months. All include cameras....

To date, 80 million camera phones have sold worldwide vs. 6 million in the USA, research firm IDC says. This year, analyst Ron Glaz of IDC says more camera phones will be sold worldwide, 57 million, than digital cameras, 44 million.

By comparison, DVD players, introduced in 1997 and called the fastest-growing consumer tech device by the Consumer Electronics Association, sold 30 million players in its first three years, says researcher In-Stat/MDR." [USA Today, via Reit er's Camera Phone Report]

Chicago plans advanced surveillance: I don't know what's more amazing — that Chicago is going to have a network of 2,000 cameras monitoring their city streets, or that the ACLU didn't flip their lid about it.

The linchpin in the network — paid for with a $5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and scheduled to be up by March 2006 — is software designed to detect "suspicious" activity.

For instance, if someone left a suitcase in a stairwell, the software would engage any camera within range and alert a worker at the emergency operations center. It would do the same if an individual rushed up to another and dragged him away. A series of cameras could track fleeing criminals, and 911 operators would be able to give police descriptions of suspects.

But that seems to have gotten in the way of Samantha Robichaud's promotion at a McDonald's in Northport, Alabama. Samantha Robichaud was born with the Sturge-Weber syndrome that resulted in a purple birthmark covering her face known as a Port Wine Stain. She joined McDonald's as a cook in August 2000, "premised upon the assurance that she would have the opportunity for promotion to management". Eligibility for a management position entails proficiency in handling several areas of the restaurant, including the front counter. But she was removed from the front counter by the manager who countered she might "make babies cry or scare customers off". After being told that in January 2001, she kept to herself over the next few workdays, when the manager eventually informed her that her quality of work had declined. She quit the next day and filed a complaint with the EEOC.
