Zen and The Art of Telephone Manners

Zen and The Art of Telephone Manners 05/27/2004 01:43 PM

How to make friends by Telephone: Boing Boing linked to this today.

When my grandparents did some housecleaning a few years ago, they offered me this instructional booklet entitled How to make friends by Telephone and asked if I'd be interested in it. I estimate it to be from the 1940�s — it's from an era when it was still proper to capitalize Telephone...

Now, this is a neat little thing in its own right, but what's neater is the fact that technology has allowed us to do this at all. This guy has taken a relic from the past, cleaned it up, made a permanent record of it, and put it in a place where everyone can see it.

It may be very Zen-ish to think about it, but this little booklet had an effect on me and made me stop and think about communications in general.

That's cool, but cooler still is the fact that this little ray of sunshine into my day could have happened at all. God bless the Internet.

Just a couple of data points. I spent an hour talking to Henry Story in France this morning, he’s doing some work on BlogEd and given the obvious pain around Web authoring, maybe we should be looking closer at that. Oh, Henry and I didn’t use the telephone, that would cost money, we chatted face-to-face across eight timezones via iChat AV, which is of course free. Other telephony news: I have a Vonage phone on my office desk, and now Vonage tells me that for an additional C$12.50/month, I can get a SoftPhone< /a>. If I do, then my computer will have a phone number... that phrase somehow resonates; I don’t think I understand what it means yet. Meanwhile, Russell Beattie has been telling us about the present and near-future (1, 2, and 3) of wireless. It seems to me that the whole world-wide telephone business has been smashed into little pieces and thrown up into the air, and who can tell what it’s going to look like when it all lands.

On the Monday Podcast, Our Geek mentioned that his back pain was causing him quite a bit of discomfort, so when I seen this article I thought it would be a good idea to share it with you, it’s from Wired News and it’s called "The Painful Truth"

“Because nerve blocks affect a precise area of the body, they fall under the category of regional (rather than general or local) anesthesia. An elementary form of regional anesthesia is already widely used in maternity wards: the epidural block, employed to numb the pain of labor and achieved by injecting analgesics and narcotics along the spine.”

No pain, no gain, they say, and when it comes to real pain, the inverse is true as well. "We now have research indicating there's a memory of chronic pain," said Dr. Doris K. Cope, director of chronic and cancer pain for the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. It changes the genic code sometimes, it changes the biochemistry, and it causes new proteins to be formed." Or in other words, the more pain you have, the more pain you have. (More on this.) It's no wonder, then, that more money is spent on pain relief than any other medical problem, and that there has been so much p ain research and so many clinical trials revealing such painful facts as redhead s feel more pain, men feel less pain, and that there's a genetic difference between tough guys and wimps. (Much more pain inside.)

Total Pain of Using

Total Pain of Using 08/16/2004 04:09 PM
TCO or "Total Cost of Ownership" is a notion that one can calculate (with some accuracy) the complete cost of owning something, including all the weird side effects of acquiring and owning that thing. For example, I can by a new 3.2GHz notebook for $2,000 and it comes with Windows XP. But odds are that I'll spend 20 hours in the first year dealing with device drivers, spyware, and viruses. If I value my time at $50/hour, then the total...

The Pain of Text

The Pain of Text 01/22/2004 02:12 AM
Yeah, this stuff's all getting cranky. Deal. :) At the moment, I'm trying to work on specifying text stuff for Parrot. Not simple, of course, because text is such a massive pain. Right now I'm just trying to sort the various functions on characters and strings into the right spot so they can be properly overridden, thumped, assaulted, and generally beaten about. If you've been following along, you've no doubt seen the rants about text, so I won't reprise them (much) and instead go for the actual useful bits. As far as I can tell (and this is all welded...

Authoring Pain

Authoring Pain 07/20/2004 06:25 PM
The person from the General Counsel’s office called to talk about some legal/regulatory stuff we’re pulling together, and she asked how it should be delivered. I said it would eventually end up on the Web, so why didn’t they write it as a web page. She sounded uncomfortable: “I don’t know how we’d do that,” she said. At the same time, I’m hearing private gripes from our internal writing community, from the President to the marketers to the Solaris geeks, about how their writing tools stink. The state of Web authoring tools is kind of like the state of what we used to call “Word Processing” twenty years ago when I was getting into this business. If everyone’s going to write for the Web (and it looks a lot of people are going to) we need the Web equivalents of Word Perfect and Wordstar and Xywrite and Microsoft Word, and we need them right now. The Atom protocol will give them a standardized way to push the content online, and the fact that it’s all open formats will make it real hard for a monopolist to scoop out the market. So, who’s building them?

Beam of Pain

Beam of Pain 06/07/2004 10:56 AM
A roundup of new weapon technologies in this Sacramento Bee piece:

Test subjects can't see the invisible beam from the Pentagon's new, Star Trek-like weapon, but no one has withstood the pain it produces for more than three seconds. People who volunteered to stand in front of the directed energy beam say they felt as if they were on fire. When they stepped aside, the pain disappeared instantly.

The long-range column of millimeter-wave energy is known as the "Active Denial System" for its ability to prevent an aggressor from advancing. Senior military officials, who plan to deliver the device for troop evaluation this fall, say years of testing has produced no sign it will lead to health effects beyond perhaps causing skin to temporarily redden.(...)

But in an era of secret interrogations of al-Qaida suspects and revelations of U.S. abuse of prisoners at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison, Executive Director Doug Johnson of the Minneapolis-based Center for Torture Victims is skeptical. "It seems fundamentally a weapon that's designed to create a great deal of pain and fear," Johnson said. "The concern I would have is ... once this kind of technology is available and there's a perception that it's safe and nonlethal, it seems like a natural device to be used in interrogations.

Are telephone callers journalists?

Are telephone callers journalists? 03/14/2005 05:45 PM
Despite its having been on the table for at least six years now, this question of whether bloggers are journalists won't seem to rest, and now that the courts are getting involved, we don't have much choice but to revisit it, as Slashdot, among many others, has done today. Dan Fost's San Francisco Chronicle story provides a good summary of the issue, as Apple Computer pursues its suit to get some bloggers to reveal the sources of anonymous information they published. But the article misses the most basic distinction at work here.

A blogger is someone who uses a certain kind of tool to publish a certain kind of Web site. The label tells us nothing about how the tool is used or what is published. We went through this discussion a decade ago, when people first started asking whether Web sites were journalism. To understand this, just take the question, "Are bloggers journalists?" and reframe it in terms of previous generations of tools. "Are telephone callers journalists?" "Are typewriter users journalists?" "Are mimeograph operators journalists?" Or, most simply, "Are writers journalists?" Well, duh, sometimes! But sometimes not.

That is the only answer to the "Are bloggers journalists?" question that makes any sense. Bloggers sometimes engage in journalism, just as they sometimes engage in diary-writing, art-making, essayizing and many other forms of communication.

This answer is inconvenient, as we face the question of whether bloggers should receive the same legal protection as more conventionally defined journalists; it doesn't provide a clearcut legal rule. But, let's face it, legal protections for journalists have always involved a certain fuzziness. Since, thankfully, the U.S. government doesn't legally charter journalists -- that would be difficult to square with the First Amendment -- everyone is free to apply the label to themselves. You don't need a journalism degree, either. (I've been a journalist for three decades and I don't have one.)

You can try to define journalists by applying the filter of professionalism, by seeing whether people are actually earning a living through their journalistic work -- but then you rule out the vast population of low-paid or non-paid freelance workers, and those who are not currently making money in their writing but hope to someday. Apparently most of the existing shield laws use some version of the "you are where your paycheck comes from" definition of journalist (see Declan McCullagh over at CNET for more). That's one good reason for thinking that they might need some revision.

There's a good definition of "journalist" sitting right at the top of Jim Romenesko's journalism blog today (is pioneering blogger Romenesko a journalist?), where CNN/U.S. president Jonathan Klein says: "I define a journalist as someone who asks questions, finds out answers and communicates them to an audience." By that standard, a hefty proportion of today's bloggers qualify.

Does this vast expansion of the journalism population mean that the courts and legislatures are going to have second thoughts about protecting the confidentiality of journalists' sources? Perhaps -- and maybe those shield laws need tweaking or amendment, given the transformations underway. But any attempt to draw a narrow line around the journalism profession in order to preserve those laws is doomed to fail. There is no way to draw that line -- income level? circulation? corporate size? forget it! -- that is not ridiculous on its face.

So we're left with the pathetic spectacle of beloved Apple Computer chasing down some bloggers to find out which of its employees leaked some early peeks at product information. Apple may win, and the laws may contort themselves to exclude the vast new throngs of online journalists from the protected club. But is there any doubt that, in the long run, it's Apple's dam-building effort that's doomed? Whether protected by law or not, the teeming network of the blogosphere is not going to shut down, any more than online music file sharing could be ended by the legal campaign against Napster. In this sense, the whole "journalists or not?" debate is an irrelevant, backward-looking theological dispute.

[I wrote this post this morning but the computer that I run Radio on died for some reason, so it's going up late, and with some revisions...]

Jawbone Telephone Headset

Jawbone Telephone Headset 06/10/2004 07:55 AM

Wow, from the tenor of their press release you'd think these guys conquered cancer or caught a fly in some chopsticks or something, what with their 'revolutionary's and their 'radical's and their 'breakthrough's; I was all hepped up, but it turns out the Aliph Jawbone is just a telephone headset, and a wired one at that, designed to filter out background noise and provide clear voice pickup even in noisy environments like trading floors. Now if Aliph had a commercial where this long-haired muscle man cleaves through legions of Canaanites with a giant-sized version of the headset, only pausing to look at the camera, covered in gore, as he raises his oversized Jawbone headset to heaven where, panning up, we see God dialing a number (maybe eating a hoagie and he has a Jets jersey on), and then right in the middle of battle Samson gets a call on his Jawbone headset and God can totally hear him above the din of battle, well, that'd be the sort of fucking awesome that's going to sell a $150 headset, people.
