Afghanistan's Guerrilla War

Afghanistan's Guerrilla War 09/11/2004 07:10 AM
AT.   Back to Afghanistan.  Islamic guerrillas are gearing up an insurgency to put the US into a two front war.  By the end of Bush's next administration, we should be up to ears in two hot guerrilla wars.  Remember, this is fourth generation warfare.  It turns strength into weakness.

Our amazing military, when bogged down in hot guerrilla wars transforms itself into an extremely expensive, legitimacy depleting liability.  For example, we have set up a situation where we can't lose either Afghanistan or Iraq.  Two hot guerrilla wars would put all of the military assets we have into those theaters.  The additional cost would run well in excess of $400 b a year.  Casualties and confusion would rise as attention is divided between the theaters.  This situation would then make it possible to strike at other areas (Saudi Arabia inparticular) with impunity.  Events would be staged to bait the US into expanding new areas of operations.  The key here is to inflate the bubble of US power to the point it become vulnerable to catastrophic failure.  Add global guerrilla systemic disruption to the mix and we are in for a disaster.

Note:  This effort is led by mens such as Mansoor:  Mansoor is the son of Nasrullah Mansoor, one of the most respected Afghan guerrilla leaders from the time of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s, who terrorized Soviet troops around Gardez. Saifullah Mansoor's reputation as a chip off the old block was cemented when in April 2002 he led a raid in which 18 US soldiers were killed in a guerrilla attack at Shahi Kot in the Zarmat area.

"Pure Entrepreneurs"

"Pure Entrepreneurs" 12/27/2004 03:50 PM
Scott Kirsner has a good piece in the Boston Globe appreciating "pure entrepreneurs" who go ahead and build stuff without asking for funding or permission. One of those he cites is my friend Pito Salas who is creating BlogBridge, an aggregator with lots of potential, currently in alpha. He also points to Paul Cosway who is working on what sounds like a very cool, portable Internet radio, called "Radeo." And he interviews Dan Bricklin and Bill Warner (Avid). Three cheers for pure entrepreneurs! BTW, I don't know Paul Cosway, but I can attest that Pito Salas is not "loopy" (which...

Great entrepreneurs and the Blogosphere

Great entrepreneurs and the Blogosphere 08/02/2004 10:40 PM

Dave Sifry and Greg Reinacker are just like me.

If somebody bad mouthed my product, like I did theirs this morning - I'd be all over them like a sticky t-shirt in a hot muggy NYC afternoon.

So I just got off the phone with Mr. Technorati - who straightened me out about my watchlist URL (pointing to my old blog address) and Mr. NewsGator who earlier slapped me around for wrong RSS 1.0 feeds which don't include URLs.

Duh! My bad! Sorry guys! This is my official apology I owe you joints. Or Vodka Gimlets. Or large piles of Spare Ribs.

I had never used a RSS 1.0 feed before, being an XML, old school, Radio kind of guy and between that - and losing my WYSIWYG editing - I've been a cat out of water.

Or a hippo in a rat pack. Or some other sort of weirdo metaphor.

So now my Technorati is rocking and I'm tuned back into who is talking about me and what - and I'm amassing huge stock piles of juicy feeds and learning mroe to sync up my NewsGator.

So in one sense - I had been spoiled - by Paolo and Matt and the eVectors team - and by Radio's simplicty and cleanliness of design.

It's not that MT is badly desigend - it's just that it's for gfeeks. Even TypePad is for geeks. But until I can ship some code that radically changes all this - I'm just gonna shut up and focus on taking baby steps.

Basic DLAs. Basic value added funtionality to humans. Like better nav, integrated designs, coolio UIs. The big stuff comes later.

And for now - I got my Technorati BACK - YAH!

And a rocking aggregator.

Now let's see - how do I set up this Moveable Poster thingie.......

Kidnapping Entrepreneurs in Iraq

Kidnapping Entrepreneurs in Iraq 03/28/2005 08:09 AM
NYT.  The kidnapping business in Iraq.  Scattered anecdotal evidence suggests that the epidemic of kidnapping, especially of children, is a force like no other in driving from Iraq the educated professionals who are critically needed for the rebuilding of the country. As stoic as Iraqis often are about the perils they face in their daily lives, kidnapping contributes to the national sense of instability and fuels mutual distrust - particularly because many kidnappings rely on people close to the target who pass information on net worth, daily habits and other matters of interest to hostage takers.

Technology makes it easier:

A profusion of mobile phones and SIM cards - memory chips for the phones - sold throughout Iraq from small and often unregistered shops made tracing calls from sophisticated kidnappers all but impossible, Colonel Faisel said. And he said that for all their help, American military and intelligence officials in Iraq had been slow to share surveillance technology that could aid the Iraqis in nailing the callers.

A highly decentralized business:

At least three different groups of kidnapping entrepreneurs became involved in his case, he said, the one that kidnapped him, another that guarded the container, and a third that tortured him periodically with steel-bristled brushes. The third group bargained with the first group to "purchase" him.

Entrepreneurs Who Don't Want Venture

Entrepreneurs Who Don't Want Venture
Capital 12/08/2003 04:41 AM
It seems like every few months a story just like this one show up somewhere about entrepreneurs (usually ones who have gone through the process before) are starting new companies without venture capital. The reporter (like in most of these articles) tries to make it out like this is a big conflict between those who "know better" and the venture capitalists. The truth seems quite different - and the story isn't supported by any of the actual quotes. Certainly there are entrepreneurs who get screwed by VCs, and there are many who go into the process the first time without realizing what they're giving up when they accept VC cash. However, the truth is that many businesses (and certain entrepreneurs) aren't right for VC money. Understanding what VCs are looking for, and what the process is like is important for anyone raising money. Then the entrepreneur can make the right decision about the best way to move forward. Sometimes that's with VC cash and sometimes it isn't. Everyone quoted in the article seems to understand that, but that's not as interesting a story for the paper. What would be better is if the press stopped making the implicit assumption that to do a startup you need to raise venture money - and that the companies that raise more money are the automatic powerhouses.

Real ships guerrilla DRM for the iPod

Real ships guerrilla DRM for the iPod 07/26/2004 01:59 AM
Real Networks have reverse-engineered Apple's iPod and written a player for its DRM "Helix" format, which they're giving away. This means that you'll be able to play the Helix files you buy from Real on your Apple iPod.

I'm cautiously glad about this. It's the right idea: tech vendors should be writing tools that allow anyone to play anything on anything: it's insane to own an Apple "record player" that only plays Apple "records" -- meaning that if you buy your records from Real, you need to buy another record player.

My only disappointment is that Real is engaged in the same behaviour: Real's records only play on players licensed by Real: it would be much more customer-friendly if Real went into the business of providing us with music in a patent-free, open standard that could be implemented by anyone. Link (Thanks, Jeff!)

Driven By Money Alone

New Generation Of Entrepreneurs Not
Driven By Money Alone 09/27/2004 12:29 AM
Michael Clouser writes "The number of college entrepreneurs is growing, but they are driven by something different, rather, they see technology as a hobby, and starting companies as self-satisfaction, rather than to make a bunch of money. Also, the number of college entrepreneurship courses continues to rise, despite the bubble burst." While I think it's great to hear stories suggesting more people are starting companies for the love of what they're doing, rather than simply the economic opportunity, these things do tend to go in a cycle. The reason people claim they're starting companies to do what they love is because not too many startups have been cashing out over the past few years. Should the cashing out part pick up some more, and you can bet that the quick startup flippers will be back in no time.
