Geeks teach youth in Ghana about
science, technology, and the Internet 09/04/2004 12:23 PM
Xeni Jardin: BoingBoing pal and inimitable code wizard David Weekly is in Ghana this weekend with a group called Camp Amelia -- teaching young African people about I.T. and science basics. Cool! Snip from project website:

On September 1, half a dozen American educators, engineers and university students [departed] for Accra, Ghana to run a pilot project for Camp Amelia, a children's summer technology literacy program already made popular on the North American continent. The team, composed mainly of Stanford students and alumni and funded by grants from Microsoft Corporation and Chicago's Beck Foundation, will be coordinating with local schools, government, and businesses to provide technology education for underprivileged students ages 8-11 in the greater Accra area. Camp activities run the gamut from using soap bubbles in explaining physics to engaging in "Internet scavenger hunts" and using interactive educational software programs developed by Camp Amelia technology teams. Participants will learn how to use word processors and even the basics of computer programming! These elements will teach the children the value of independent thinking and learning.

And here's a note from David, having just arrived in Accra on September 3:

So I'm writing this from a computer lab in Accra; it's nicely modern, with about 50 pentium 4-2000 machines, but it's about 1500ms to anything really interesting on the Internet backbone and the speed's not that fabulous. But it works! And while we were hoping to have 50 students for the camp, it looks like we actually got more like 150 applicants; so we're actually having to select which student we'll take, which is bittersweet. The plane flights over were pretty brutal; a 10 hour flight from SFO to Amsterdam and a six and a half hour to Accra. I woke up this morning at four AM local time (having gone to bed at midnight) and was *wide* awake. Now it's 11am local and I'm feeling like I need to sleep some more. It's kind of wacky. We'll be working on setting up the camp's curriculum and so forth; the camp starts Monday! Keep your fingers crossed for us. People are friendly, the city is insane with traffic and potholes and vendors and goats...

Tragedy of Fearless

Tragedy of Fearless 02/15/2004 02:15 AM

I wrote a comment elsewhere that was memorable but not exactly right, so I'll post it here as a note to myself.

Being fearless without being peerless is a formula for tragedy.

Maybe some of my quotes will make it into the book of quotes someday. :-)

Fair Use and Misuse 08/27/2004 01:58 PM
Here is a very worrisome problem concerning fair use. It has to do with a dichotomy long noted by legal thinkers between the law on the books and the law in action. They often diverge. And fair use is an example of this divergence. As I said in an earlier...

Just How Many Wireless Technologies Can
You Misuse In One Shot? 06/17/2004 02:54 PM
We've seen a lot of stories recently about overhyped wireless "security holes" or "exploits" for both WiFi systems and mobile phones. In almost every case, the story would get a lot of press, but the actual risk was extremely low. The discoveries (and subsequent publications) were mostly designed to get attention for some random security researcher who discovered the supposed problem. Well, now that the obvious security attacks are out of the way, security researchers need to get a bit more creative. They can no longer just pick on a single technology (Bluetooth? WiFi?) and find a security hole. Now, they need to get with the converged times and go for a combined attack. That's about the only explanation I can come up with for the announcement of this new "vulnerability" that makes use of Bluetooth, WiFi and SMS all in one shot. The article doesn't do a great job of explaining the attack, but apparently, it works by having someone "bluejack" one of the few phones that are vulnerable to bluejacking (and which haven't been patched), using that connection to send an SMS to an "anonymous prepaid phone" owned by the attacker. They can then use this to determine if (just maybe) the vulnerable phone is a T-Mobile customer. If it is, they then hijack the vulnerable phone again, and send an SMS to T-Mobile to get login info for hotspots (since T-Mobile now lets users get hotspot login info via SMS). If the user is not a T-Mobile customer, there are other options, but they're equally convoluted (sometimes involving another associate with another mobile phone sitting at a hotspot). The group that put out the warning admits there's no evidence that this has been done, and, honestly, it really seems like a security hack for show more than anything else. Of course, now the bar has been set. Who will top it and give us the useless, unlikely security hack that involves four different wireless technologies?

Direct Hacking Down; Virus Problems,
Wireless Network Misuse Up 08/05/2004 12:12 PM
The latest study on computer crime and security shows that, for the first time in a while, direct attacks on corporate information systems are on the decline -- from both inside and outside the company. In fact, it appears there was a significant decline in insider's attacking corporate systems. Of course, that's because they're all abusing the WiFi. It's not at all clear how an insider in the company is likely to be "abusing" a wireless network set up by the company, but the report suggests it's an "emerging threat." Meanwhile, the biggest issue for most companies remains virus attacks and the fact that whatever anti-virus software they're using doesn't seem to work. At all. Either that, or they can't convince their employees not to click on random attachments. Well, in that case, at least we know it's the executives who are screwing up.
