"Salon has a loooong interview with Eugene Jarvis, the creator of
legendary arcade video games Defender and Robotron, up today. Jarvis
talks about why he is pro-emulators, anti-Grand Theft Auto, still
focused on arcade games, and deeply worried about terrorism. It's a
good read, even if you have to watch a ten second ad to get
access."
:-)
Marc's memories.....
I met Eugene Jarvis at a bar on Clark St. in Chicago - in 1982.
We were both in the videogame business - his game
'Defender' was a lot cooler than ours -
'Prof. Pac-Man' - but he didn't seem to
mind.
And what a coincidence - had lunch with Andrew Leonard -
yesterday.
What a small world this is turning into.
Maybe I'll get lucky and run into Eugene at: the GDC or E3 - this year.
It's feeling better and better to be back in the gaming world -
after 21 years of being away.

Sydänstadin kuvia [Photos of downtown] is a nice, small photo
exhibit in the Pannuhuone kahvila on Uudenmaankatu [the mincemeat
crepes are very good, too]. If you're in the neighbourhood, go have a
coffee and a look at the photos. In spite of the photos being digital
and showing it in the enlargements, the subjects are people around
downtown Helsinki which I found very interesting. The pair of couples
in the photo above are especially well done and I think the artist
should get photo quality glossy prints and sell these two as a set. If
you can't get there, the photographer, Ukko Heikkinen, has a gallerly
online of the people of Uudenmankatu which, even with
some of the stiffness/awkwardness in a few them, is a terrific
collection of the people who live and work here in Helsinki. M-F 9-15
until Friday at Pannuhuone, Uudenmaankatu 19.

Emil Kacperski, Eugene Blagodarny and

09/18/2004 07:10 AMOne of the curious things about blog comment spam is how asymmetrical
it is. When I've had my site spammed, it feels like a desecration. If
you have ever had your house broken into, it is a similar feeling. It
is as if someone has come into your house while you were out,
defecated on the floor, ransacked through all your belongings, and
made off with your valuables. I have read some pretty impressive rants
from people after they've been hammered, and they seem to have a
similar impression. It feels like a personal affront. But it isn't.
It's just a script that somebody wrote that connects to a database
they have populated. Spammers never see our rants and raves about
their activities. But who does write and sell these scripts? I have
always been curious about what kind of scum writes and sells what must
be increasingly sophisticated scripts, so when I noticed that my
weblog was being hit repeatedly by a strange entry, www.php-soft.com,
I wondered what it was and checked out the site. It turns out to be a
vendor of comment spamming software. From the sales pitch at
http://www.php-soft.com/advanced_blog_guestbook_messages_board_submitt
er (not using proper hyperlinks for what I hope are obvious reasons):
This is the perfect unique tool that quickly submits your information
to any messages board/guestbook/blog or any other web script using the
most effective technique and offers you fantastic opportunities for
your web site promotion, increasing the link popularity of your web
project. The most effective method of increasing the link popularity
of your site is to post to online messages boards, guestbooks and
blogs (e.g. LiveJournal). I am very glad that we can introduce our
messages boards/blogs/guestbooks submission software to you.... We
have the biggest database of discussion boards, guestbooks, blogs with
high page rank. Our advanced submitter is a set of php scripts which
can easily be installed on your home PC or your hosting server. This
software is useful for any kind of data submission. You can fill the
database with information using the following methods: manually one by
one, from the list copied into textarea, from the textual file,
gathering URLs using Google search engine (enter any script name [e.g.

such scripts URLs to your database with one button click), generate

Downtown Spokane gets WiFi
Downtown Spokane gets WiFi
06/26/2004 04:29 AMAt a cost of less than US$75,000, the city of Spokane, Washington has
installed a WiFi network covering 100 blocks. Will other cities begin
creating networks like this?
Downtown Washington, DC and the new WWII
Memorial
Downtown Washington, DC and the new WWII
Memorial
06/06/2004 11:12 AMTook the airplane down to my hometown of Washington, DC for a bit
of exercise this weekend. The city was built to awe the citizens
with an inhuman scale. Plazas are vast and the Mall itself is a
forbidding barrier if you're trying to walk from place to place on a
hot or cold day (the architects who wrote A
Pattern Language concluded that no public square would be
effective unless it was small enough that people could recognize each
other from opposite ends). The government buildings are huge and
discourage casual entry by being set back from the street and not
having any retail shops on the ground floor as a commercial office
building might.
The D.C. of my childhood is vastly different from the D.C. of
today. Those imposing buildings that symbolize the government's
power are now wrapped in concrete highway barriers that broadcast the
government's fear of a lone terrorist driving a truck filled with a
fertilizer bomb. Around the Federal Reserve building, for
example, the barriers cover part of the sidewalk so as a pedestrian
you're separated from the street by a wall of concrete. The
effect is certainly ugly and it will be interesting to see what
happens if a beautiful Old World city such as Paris needs to be
secured against lone terrorists in trucks. But in a way the
cowering of the government marks the triumph of the individual in
American society. "God created men; Colonel Colt made them
equal" wasn't quite right after all. It was the terrorists who
blew up the Marine compound in Beirut and those who blew up the World
Trade garage in 1993 who actually made individual men the equals of
government.
There is one new building in Washington, D.C. that harks back to an
era when governments were all-powerful and individual men and women
subordinate: the World
War II Memorial. This is at the east end of the Reflecting
Pool and adjacent to the Washington Monument (now wrapped in an ugly
high security fence). The new monument looks as though it was
built by Soviet architects and indeed looks a lot like the WWII memorial in East
Berlin. The thing is huge and it makes one pause and
reflect... "We'd better not start any more wars or we're going to run
out of space on the Mall."
[My visit to the Memorial coincided with protests in Europe against
American power in the form of George W. Bush, visiting to celebrate
the American victory over the Germans in Italy. Picking up on
the theme of an earlier
entry, I suppose it would not have been very politic of him to
respond by saying "We're sincerely sorry for being so bellicose and
we're going to show it by giving Italy back to the Germans..."]
Overall I still love Washington, D.C. Where else can you
drive on a riverside parkway, 100-percent paid for with Federal tax
dollars, and pass adjacent signs reading "The George Bush Center for
Intelligence" and "Turkey Run"?

those from away spend $10 for 10-hour chunks of time. The coverage
extends existing service in and around municipal buildings to the
library and nearby businesses. The provider makes space available in
its office for its users, too, during its weekday business
hours--unique in my experience. The folks who run Downeast.Net have
long roots in the area that involve more convention radio broadcasting
on the FM dial. Local resident Noel Paul Stookey--he's the Paul in
Peter, Paul, and Mary--is one of the firm's owner, along with Don and

secure connections will pay for the access. It seems that so far city
leaders feel that more usage will come if they can raise awareness
that the network exists....
The Cessna flying over downtown
Washington, DC
The Cessna flying over downtown
Washington, DC
06/05/2005 11:56 PMA lot of folks up here have asked about the two-seat Cessna that
flew over downtown Washington, DC last week, spreading panic among the
bureaucrats. How could this have happened, they
wonder, imagining that the average small plane has at least
the computing and display power of a Honda Accord with the navi system
option.In reality an old plane like the Cessna 150 is worth less
than $20,000. Thanks to the miracle of FAA bureaucracy, a
moving-map GPS unit that can be legally installed in the dashboard
costs around $10,000 plus another $500/year to keep the database of
airports and navigation aids current (this is government info so it
would be possible for the FAA to make this available on the Web in a
machine-readable form and encourage owner's of cheap planes to keep it
current). Consequently the Cessna 150 that these guys were
flying didn't have one. It is possible to get handheld GPS units
for $500-1000 but they rely on AA batteries and never seem to have
juice left when you need them. Without a GPS or some earlier
form of electronic navigation it is reasonably easy to get
lost. Look to the left: sprawl, Walmarts, McMansions,
SUVs. Look to the right: sprawl, Walmarts, McMansions,
SUVs. Look straight ahead: sprawl, Walmarts, McMansions,
SUVs. Making matters worse the DC area is fairly flat with no
distinctive terrain and the weather tends to be hazy so if you're
flying low you usually can't see more than five strip malls ahead.
My favorite part of these flight restriction violation incidents is
the actual bust. When the two-seat 40-year-old airplane is
finally forced to land it is surrounded by 20-30 law enforcement
officials, each carrying a semi- or fully automatic pistol or
rifle. By this time the airplane and its pilot are 30 or 40
miles from the restricted area and they're at a big airport with miles
of grass and fence all around. There would be no way for the
pilot to escape. Yet despite the fact that in no case has one of
these pilots ever been carrying any kind of weapon the 20-30 cops have
their guns drawn and pointed at the poor schlub standing next to his
1000-lb. airplane. The pilot is pushed down onto the pavement
and handcuffed (see the photos from the recent incident at Frederick;
another good one was a pipeline patrol pilot in Pennsylvania during
the last presidential election who didn't find out about a last-minute
visit by George W.). To me it always made the government look
weak and paranoid. If they are this afraid of a confused unarmed
guy in a 1962 Cessna 150 (who in all of the cases so
far had kept his transponder turned on for the entire flight
to facilitate FAA tracking) how can they possibly handle our
actual enemies?
[The Cessna 150 seems to be the preferred choice for presidential
intimidation. The 1994 suicide crash of a light plane into the
White House was, as one would hope conspiracy theorists would soon
note, a Cessna 150 (see http://www-tech
.mit.edu/V114/N40/crash.40w.html for more on this
incident).]

Downtown Los Angeles (including the new

04/09/2004 04:11 PMWe just had a perfect day in Los Angeles, starting with a drive
from Pasadena straight into the heart of downtown Los Angeles and
parking underneath the magnificent new LA Cathedral (see photos at the
bottom of my Alaska 2002
trip report). From there we walked two blocks to the
new stainless steel-clad Walt Disney Concert
Hall and took a self-paced 1-hour audio tour. No need to go
to Bilbao, Spain anymore to see a really large all-metal Frank Gehry
and the audio commentary is very interesting. From there it is
only a 1-block walk to the LA Museum of Contemporary
Art, a building designed by Arata Isozaki. After all of that
minimalism and modernism it seemed natural to have lunch at ...
Langer's Delicatessen (see this New
Yorker article). [Did Donald Judd eat pastrami?]
We got into a conversation with a fellow dining alone in the next
booth. He was on his way to play poker at one of the traditional
California card casinos. What does he do when not at the gaming
tables? "I live in Venice. I'm a screenwriter.
Nothing filmed yet but I've got a few projects in development."

Oregon Gets Biggest Hotspot
02/10/2004 02:40 AMIt's always worrisome to qualify networks as the "biggest" but in this
case I'd bet that eastern Oregon really does have the biggest hotspot
in the country: Yesterday, Boardman and Hermiston, Ore. turned on a
600-square-mile hotspot. The network came about through a
public/private initiative and was built by EZ Wireless. The network
will be used by the Morrow County Emergency Management and Chemical
Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program, the police force, and
citizens. Initially, it will cover 600 square miles which includes
four counties and seven cities, some in Washington. The second phase,
which should be complete this summer, will add another seven cities.
The press release isn't online and any news organizations in the area
either don't post the stories online or require subscriptions from
visitors wanting to read the stories online....
Oregon Mall Goes Wireless
Oregon Mall Goes Wireless
02/18/2004 01:17 PMCedar Hills Crossing, a mall in Beaverton, Ore., is now covered by
Wi-Fi: Access is free to visitors and the network is co-sponsored by
Personal Telco. Without interesting applications for visitors, I'm not
sure how useful this network will be. I don't often carry my laptop
with me when I'm shopping. There is a restaurant here that's covered,
however. Plus, this would be a good place for customers to use
services that let them scan bar codes and compare products and prices.
Best Buy, Borders, and Office Depot are in this mall so those stores
might be able to think up some useful applications for the network.
The University Village and Bellevue Square malls in the Seattle area,
both somewhat upscale places, have full coverage with Cometa. But they
also have individual coverage (free and fee) in individual properties
throughout. It's unclear whether those two malls have seen any change
in visitors or usage -- they haven't discussed it, and they may not
even be able to track it....
