So, it turns out the Clive Owen is not the same actor as Jason Statham, although he is the guy who played the driver in those online BMW movie shorts, which I was sure was the same guy who starred in The Transporter (= Statham). I frequently get certain actors confused, as in the old Saturday Night Live sketch that featured Fernando Lamas, Ricardo Montalban and/or Cesar Romero. But usually they have more in common than being British and having once driven a car....

Should The Connection Be Separate From
The Device 04/16/2004 05:01 AM
For years, we've been talking about the idea of the persona l wireless hub, where you would have a single (small) device that would connect you with a wireless network - and in turn, that device would have a personal area wireless connection to connect whatever other devices to that wireless connection. This way, you could have the appropriate device for the appropriate situation. Of course, it would also mean carrying around more gadgets. Still, while this idea was originally suggested by a company named IXI, since then it's picked up fans like Samsung and Motorola. Well, in something of an update to that idea, Charlie Demerjian at the Inquirer is pointing out that the carriers are screwed up in their thinking by pushing increasingly complex mobile phones that bolt on various additional functions that don't necessarily make sense. He suggests this is completely backwards from what consumers want: smaller phones with longer battery life - while these "smarter" phones are generally larger with shorter battery life (and a lot more expensive - often requiring a larger subsidy from the carrier). Of course, from the perspective of carriers, they want to encourage more network usage to up their revenue from each user. Unlike so many complaining article, he also comes up with a perfectly good suggestion, playing off the personal wireless hub idea. Instead of focusing on selling a fancier and fancier phone, he suggests the carriers just give out a cheap little wireless device that can easily connect to just about any device and automatically gives it wireless capabilities (on their network, of course). This lets users still get the cheap, small, long life battery they want, while also encourage people to use even more data by connecting up more appropriate data devices. Of course, he suggests all this as if no one else has thought of it - and (as mentioned) Samsung and Motorola are moving forward with the idea - and are even trying to merge the idea of this separate device directly into an inexpensive phone (which makes more sense) which can then connect locally (using Bluetooth, I imagine) to the appropriate device. I don't think the carriers are really against such an idea, it's just that the technology is not yet ready for prime time.

Breaking out those Reviews into a
separate list

Breaking out those Reviews into a
separate list 09/21/2004 10:14 AM

So is the micro-content (that makes up a list of Movie Reviews) called Lists or Movie Reviews?

I think the later.

Many people have asked me why Lists aren't a kind of micro-content. They are - but a low-order effect one. A highly unstructured, not very interesting kind of micro-content.

But yet - they could certainly benefit from having a permalink and aggregators that understood them.

But all lists are made of something - and it's the something that matters - not the lists themselves. I often call lists - blogrolls.

Well - whatever.

Jason Kottke - the clear leader when it coems to deploying micro-content has collected all his movie reviews.

Coolio - dude.

Here's Jason's post.....

I've redesigned the movies section of this site. All Most of the movies I've seen since April 2003 are listed on one page with my rating and an excerpt of my review (if there is one). You can also view them sorted alphabetically and by rating. Ratings are color-coded...green means good, yellow means OK, and red means not-so-good. When I have something to say about a movie, it'll appear as usual on the front page and on the movies page, but if I don't, it'll just be added to the movies page. Got rid of the monthly archive pages because they weren't needed anymore. The design is a little unfinished, but it's better to launch now than to tweak myself into paralysis. I'll fix it later.

And of course, all this was done fairly easily with Movable Type and a few plugins (ExtraFields, Compare, MTSQL, and MTIfEmpty). I'm continually amazed at how flexible MT is. With all the plugins available for it now, it's pretty much its own little scripting language/environment, which depending on your perspective, is either fantastic or so very wrong.

NOTE: Go to Jason's original post for his links. I'm getting tired of copying over links - since MT doesn't support copy and paste.

Can Technology Separate Work Life From

Can Technology Separate Work Life From
Personal? 12/03/2003 04:58 PM
A very interesting opinion piece talking about the separation of work life from personal life and wondering if technology can help to differentiate the two. Normally, people blame technology for blurring the two, but maybe it's time to see if technology can be molded the other way. The "problem" is that technology keeps us always connected - so it's hard to let go. You have laptops and pagers and smart phones that all let you stay connected away from the office. So, David Berlind is wondering if technology can be made intelligent enough to distinguish what mode your in and respond accordingly. While it is sometimes nice to be able to receive email on a pager, it can become overwhelming. Plus, what if you want to receive personal emails on the pager, but not work emails at certain times. For example, over the weekend you don't want to receive work related email, but still should receive personal emails. At the same time, if there really is important news coming from work, you still want to see that. So, the system would need to be smart enough to understand (a) what mode you're in and (b) whether or not the particular message is important enough to go across one mode into the other. It's an interesting idea that I haven't seen discussed anywhere else, but makes a lot of sense. One of the nice things about technology is that (in theory) we have the power to make it do what we want. If that technology seems to be taking over our lives, then why not reprogram the technology to not take over our lives?

18 Separate Security Updates !!! Just
Blame Dell

18 Separate Security Updates !!! Just
Blame Dell 10/15/2002 07:15 AM
18 Separate Security Updates !!! Just Blame Dell If you want to know another reason why we have such extreme security problems with MS Windows, here's one: Blame Dell. That's right Dell. No I don't mean Dell the company but the PC manufacturer in general. Here's what just happened to me: Helped a friend buy a new computer. Brand new. From Dell. Not surplus or pre-manufactured but NEW. Set it up. Went to Windows Update and found 18 Separate Security Updates. No this isn't a surprise to me. What Microsoft does is release 1 operating system every few years and then multiple updates, service packs and fixes so that the customer has to do the update themselves. As far as I am concerned, Dell just sold me an obsolete, buggy, insecure product. Why did I have to update it? Why didn't Dell take care of it for me? I (my friend actually) just spent $1,400 for a new Latitude laptop and then I had to spend 2 + hours bringing it up to date. That's just wrong. NOTE: And just to be clear, the oldest of these security updates was October, 2001. Sidebar, Feel Free to Ignore: When is the high tech industry as a whole going to figure this stuff out and start realizing that computers and software are just products like any other and the time honored concepts like customer service, quality and warranties actually matter? As I've said before it's going to take a class action lawsuit to bring companies into reality. And it will happen within the next 3 years or so I suspect. Sure I'll admit that this is Microsoft's fault ultimately, for not rolling out new versions of the operating system with all patches integrated but the Dell and all the manufacturers could band together and say "We're not gonna take it !". Sigh. What else can I say but: As Dumb as Dell. (And don't even get me started on the fact that Dell True Mobile 1150 integrated WiFi cards won't connect to standard LinkSys WAP 11 access points. And when I googled for it, I found that I am NOT the only one. I strongly recommend that you skip Dell WiFi hardware and use LinkSys instead. That was another 2 hours out of my life I'll never get back. And it still doesn't work. Anyone have any thoughts?)
