Latter-day ashphalters call on feds not
to treat fiber like roads 03/19/2003 10:45 PM
Clay sez:

The 21st Century Infrastructure Consortium (21st CiC)is dedicated to bringing high-bandwidth fiber to the home. Or, rather, they are dedicated to FTTH as long as our city governments don't get involved. From the looks of the paper 21st CiC has filed with the FCC, the worst thing that could possibly happen is that someone could be scheming to offer you access to pure bandwidth, uncluttered by monopolistic business practices.

From their FCC filing: "Municipalities, even when they promise to build an open-access network, should not at all be involved with the FTTx industry."

So take that, you municipal stooges! Your puny notions of "open access" are nothing to us! (I'd suggest a drinking game involving the number of occurrences of the phrase "unfair competition" in a two page PDF, but I think the AMA would revoke my blogging license.)

The very idea that the government would want to treat access to bandwidth as even remotely analogous to access to highways has latter-day asphalt manufacturers in a tizzy. Municipal FTTH may die a-borning, if the beneficiaries of such services don't make themselves heard.

http://cms.p sychologytoday.com/conditions/sad.html

A U.K. psychologist has developed a complex mathematical formula using seven variables to predict winter's emotional low point. The good news is the worst day of the year was last week; nonetheless, seasonal depression remains a problem for many. The first link (1) is to an article about the equation worked out by Dr. Cliff Arnall, who specializes in seasonal disorders at the University of Cardiff, Wales. The second link is to a WebMD page (2) about winter depression, often referred to as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). The next link (3) is to a recent news story about the results of a five-year study that found, rather than antidepressant drug therapy or air ionizers, light box therapy is the best remedy for the seasonal condition. The fourth link is to a set of Frequently Asked Questions (4) about SAD offered by Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in New York City. The fifth link, to the Winter Depression Research Group at the University of Tromso in Norway(5), explains why Norway is a natural SAD research laboratory. The next link is to a international portal site (6) maintained by medical professionals and researchers in the field of light therapy and biological rhythms. The final webpage(7), from Psychology Today, compares the symptoms of winter depression with summer depression.[From The NSDL Scout Report for the Life Sciences, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2005. http://scout.wisc.edu/]

Depression and The Beauty that Remains

Depression and The Beauty that Remains 01/23/2004 06:33 PM
Over the last several days, there has been an extraordinary bloom of sweet commentary pursuant to my last three posts regarding the departure of Spalding Gray. Your eloquence, humor, and, above all, your honesty are proof to me that he is alive and, indeed, becoming more so in your hearts. You are his witnesses. What you've said here is all the evidence one needs that Spalding planted something beautiful, if a little goofy, in this world that will continue to blossom even without his being here to tend it. I am particularly grateful to the many who've openly discussed their own battles with depression, the most insidious enemy there can be. Fighting clinical depression is an inevitably lonely struggle. What could be less conducive to compassion than a disease that make you whine? Laymen and loved ones tell you to get a grip. They make you feel ashamed to be sick. Even if they're more enlightened about the disease, they can't help but harbor a secret, naturally human, belief that you are suffering a failure of will rather than biochemistry. Meanwhile, the doctors consider little but the neuro-soup and turn you into a shambling medical experiment, testing pharmaceutical nostrums on you that are as blunt as the mind is subtle, though just as unpredictable. Meanwhile, your cold world trudges on. It remains, despite all visible signs of well-being - wonderful spouse, great kids, well-located house, whatever - a purgatory of uselessness, barren of joy and meaning. Love, incoming or out-going, becomes something you think, not feel. I am very grateful that this has provided a forum where some of you feel free to speak of this affliction, which is too often suffered in a terrible silence. I am also very grateful for the personal tales you've told about your encounters with him, real and virtual, and how he affected your lives. Your comments are ample evidence that he was a good teacher. I fear that his children, and in particular his marvelous young sons, Forrest and Theo, will remember little of who he really was and what he really did. Worse, I suspect that much of what will remain as the memory of their father will be shadowed by who he became after depression closed its ghostly fist around his light. To the goal that they might re-remember him for them through our tales, I want to make a little book of your comments following the last three posts and give it to them. If any of you object to being included, and I hope none of you will, please let me know. They are better than the flowers one might send otherwise....

Depression-era anti-Bush movie

Depression-era anti-Bush movie 07/20/2004 04:33 PM
Greg sez, "The expanded version of the fully-animated commercial my frind Tom and I created for MoveOn.org's 'Bush in 30 Seconds' contest is now online. Originally planned to be only a couple minutes long, the full length version is now a seven minute look at the hard times living under Bush's economy. The completed short is an appropriate juxtaposition of Bush's economy with a depression-era style that I think is appropriate when describing the first presidency since Hoover to preside over a job loss." This is an amazing piece of work. Link (Thanks, Greg!)

Every few weeks I get email from folks blocked from viewing metafilter at work, asking for my help. I'd never experienced it, so I usually tell folks that if they don't know the right IT person to ask, maybe they shouldn't browse the internet on the job.

I'm staying in a hotel in San Francisco right now and they offer free hotel wireless, which is nice. What isn't nice is that they've got a proxy server set up, just like a lot of large workplaces. You can probably guess where this is going.

Here's what I get when I go to any site that ends in .metafilter.com

And just to show you how lame the system is, it thinks Glassdog is mature. A quick scan of the average day's posts there shows you just how catty and immature Glassdog can be.

There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason. BoingBoing works fine, but Waxy.org doesn't. Why on earth should a hotel wireless network care if you want to visit "chat" sites? Why insult your own guests?

Well, okay, I'm not really dressed up... it's my everyday outfit, but I'm still running with it. It's a shifted holiday at my house!

Oh, and the Laughing Librarian just came by my house with his daughter. He's dressed in a safari outfit with a giant snake wrapped around his body. Awesome!

Treat British Airways as damage and

Treat British Airways as damage and
route around them 08/29/2004 12:41 PM
Cory Doctorow: I was trying to buy a one-way ticket from Brussels to London in September, and I ran into the weirdest, dumbest thing: British Airways won't sell you a ticket over the Web if your credit-card isn't billed in the same country the flight originates in (Er, hello? You're an airline -- that means you deal with people who are traveling, sometimes to countries other than the one that they reside in).

So I called BA and was told that the same ticket would cost 400 percent more if bought over the phone. So I went to a BA counter in Boston and was quoted a fare that was 200 percent more than the Web-fare.

I tried booking through Expedia, but they wanted to mail me a paper ticket. Since I rarely touch down in any city for more than a couple days, intersecting with a postal-delivery system for time-sensitive materials is pretty tricky.

Then I gave up on the Web and went to SN Brussels Air, a little carrier whose website has never ever worked for me. I called the London reservations desk and booked a ticket for exactly what BA charges via its website.

That's no surprise: as it turns out, the flight is operated by British Airways. It's the same goddamned plane.

So that's the point of this post: if ever you want to book a ticket on BA from Brussels to London, book it through SN Brussels Air (by phone -- the website will probably remain busted for all eternity), and you can circumvent BA's dumbass ecommerce policies and extorionate phone/counter prices.
