When I saw this headline - I thought that it meant "LinkedIn was supporting FOAF".  Hah!

Li nkedIn Unleashed.

Scott Allen, of Online Business Networks (and one of the judges in our recently completed ‘Perfect Pitch’ competition,) is doing something newsworthy this Wednesday, April 28, 2004 — he is conducting a 60 minute Teleclass on how to use LinkedIn to better achieve your professional goals.

Many of us utilize a broad spectrum of YASNS, or I should say many of us belong to a number of different SNS’s — but, are we really making good use of them? Or are we just joining as many as we can — hoping to increase the size of our YASNS trading card decks?

When I heard that Scott was giving this class, I was intrigued. It will be interesting to see if any of the other Business Networkings Services — specifically — follow suit and offer a similar series of educational spots to help improve the understanding and utilization of their services amongst their user bases.

Think I’ll go check it out… (-:=

It wasn't funny

Saw Shrek 2. Disappointed.

I think it wasn't as funny as the first one, because it laughed at Hollywood. And you just can't laugh at Hollywood, because that place is so crazy already. Poking the fairy tales and Disneyland in the first part worked, because it was new, and they take themselves so seriously. Populating Hollywood with magical creatures is so unsuprising, you almost go "where are all the pixie versions of the crack whores?" And everybody laughs at the movie industry every day for being what they are - they're better parodies of themselves than what anyone can do.

Shrek 2 felt just like a big US movie industry injoke, something you could sort of see was meant to be funny, but couldn't quite work out because of lacking background knowledge.

Okay, I laughed a few times. But I was hoping for better.

A lot of people like going to saunas. A sauna used to be associated with cold beer and a company of friends. Now the situation has changed a bit: going to a sauna implies some sort of sexual activities and even perversion sometimes. Steam, beer and friends have been pushed into the background. Since people love mixing business with pleasure, let us try to find out, to which extent the sauna entertainment is good, and to which extent it is bad.

Almost five years ago (five years next month) Perl 6 got set in motion, at whichever TPC it was. (4? 5? I don't remember) We had a whole bunch of people volunteer to handle bits of the project -- I took on the dev lead hat. (At this point I think, of the original volunteers, only Larry remains) A couple of months ago I gave up the hat, and now I'm giving up parrot development altogether. Chalk up another developer driven away. I may spend some time writing up explanations of why things were done the way they were...

After the sixth hour of Troy, the new Arm Pitt Men in Skirts epic, I started to remember just how friggin' big that copy of the Iliad I had was. Big. Big, big book. Loooong movie.

So it's a good thing that this blogger has produced a Troy-in-fifteen-minutes abridgement. You know, I like it as much as the original!

AGAMEMNON: Look, there's no reason for me to slaughter thousands of your men. You pick out your best soldier, and I pick out mine.

Some Guy breaks through the crowd. His neck resembles an Easter ham and his spear is the size of a telephone pole.

SOME GUY: RAAAAAAAAA!

A funny moment at ETech

A funny moment at ETech 02/11/2004 09:50 PM
I'm sitting behind Cory Doctorow at ETech listening to some guy drone on and on about Web Services. It's the end of the day and it's a very boring presentation. So I browse my home page, and see a newswire story about the CIA website posting asking for help finding Weapons of Mass Destruction. I browse the CIA site, and sure enough, it is there. I check the url on Technorati, to see who has blogged it. To my surprise, it doesn't look like anyone has. It seems like an appropriate post for ETech, since as well as being an amusing act of desperation, it is an innovative public use of technology by the CIA, so I stick something on my linklog, The Midnight Blog, about it. Then it occurs to me that Cory might be amused, but I don't want to interrupt him from his notetaking, so I send him something via the form on boingboing. About two minutes later, I see him open up the CIA site on his laptop, chuckle, then open up Blogger. Sure enough, 3 minutes later the link is up on boingboing. I'm sure it will be through the blogosphere by the morning, with all kinds of intelligent commentary that I was too tired to add. The tools and the velocity of information flow available today are amazing, even if the purposes they are put to aren't always that important....

Funny error message

Funny error message 04/09/2004 04:02 PM
So I'm reading some science news about John Gottman and Robert Levenson, who have developed a mathematical model to predict with a 80% or higher accuracy rate whether a marriage will last. Interesting stuff: essentially, in marriages that last, positive interactions outnumber negative ones by a 5 to 1 ratio or more, creating a sort of bank of postive feeling to help couples recover from the inevitable arguments. So I want to read an actual paper, but am having no luck on the Gottman Institute web site getting from an abstract page to a paper. After several tries, I click on this abstract and read it, then try to go to the actual journal page. The error message I get is "You have entered a phrase that is too generic. Please try again." What? Running a web site like Zen Haiku, I understand why the link went stale, but that's still an awfully strange error message....

Dogs in funny hats

Dogs in funny hats 03/19/2003 10:27 PM
Just Nuisance, Able Seaman. The only canine enlisted in the Royal Navy, Just Nuisance served from 1939 to 1944 in Simon's Town, South Africa (on his papers his occupation was listed as 'Bone Crusher' and his religion 'Canine Divinity League [Anti-Vivisection]'). Providing a great source of morale to sailors stationed there he would escort them on train trips and make sure they made it back to base after a night on the town. Of course being a sailor himself he was privy to a few brushes with the law as well by traveling on the railways without a pass (punishment: Confined to the banks of Froggy Pond, Lily Pool, with all lamp posts removed) or sleeping on an Officer's bed (punishment: Deprived of bones for seven days.). Married, and survived by five children, on his death he was afforded a funeral with full military colours. You can read his biography (which spawned a television series), or merely pay respects at his stat ue next time you're in Simon's Town.

This article about SBC CEO Ed Whitacre's plea for telecom deregulation inadvertantly shows how the incumbent telcos manipulate fact to promote their anti-competition agenda:


So the FCC's wholesale rules cost 380,000 jobs, but fixing those rules would only bring back 90,000 of them?!  Other factors must  have caused all those layoffs. 

Beware studies purporting to quantify the economic effects of regulation, especially rules like those in telecom, which have only indirect effects on business decisions.  (As opposed, say, to pollution controls that require specific investments by factories.)
