Jabra BT800 Bluetooth Headset Reviewed

Jabra BT800 Bluetooth Headset Reviewed
(Verdict: Lots of Features, Lots of
Bulk) 04/05/2005 09:18 AM

For the life of me, I can't figure out how to configure my phone to pair with my Bluetooth headset and still ring, which means I miss a lot of calls if I'm not paying attention. The (relatively) new Jabra BT800 headset has a built-in vibrate mode that would alleviate that problem, while giving me another: embarrassment. While the BT800 does feature an integrated LCD Caller ID read-out, it's also sort of huge, which makes my likelihood of wearing it anywhere outside of a tech convention pretty slim. If you don't mind the bulkiness, though, Mobileburn gives it high marks, with good battery life, excellent noise-cancelling features, and decent sound quality.

Recently, while digging through old photos of tourist attractions, I ran across a few taken in Chartres. This small town, 96km southwest of Paris (the train is fast and comfy) holds a cathedral that has been, for the last 800 years or so, arguably the most beautiful structure on the planet...

Berries, Beans and Birds

Berries, Beans and Birds 06/23/2004 05:17 PM

A few fun and odd summer reading titles. Finnish class is over and we have a week off before the next class begins so I'm glad to have a bit of a break and I fully intend to read something completely fluffy without any fuzzy a's or disappearing k's. :)

• The Berry Bible : With 175 Recipes Using Cultivated and Wild, Fresh and Frozen Berries ≈ Berries are big here. Real big.
• The Eater's Guide to Chinese Characters ≈ I hope that there's an appendix for ways to deal with deciphering what the popular dishes really contain.
• Going Nucular: Language, Politics, and Culture in Controversial Times ≈ There could probably be an entire book written on the usage of the word "Freedom" over the past 4 years alone. :)
• Field Guide to the North American Bird ≈ To complement The F-Word book.
• Vanill a: Travels in Search of the Ice Cream Orchid ≈ The micro-topic history books just keep on coming.
• Twenti eth Century Sprawl: Highways and the Reshaping of the American Landscape ≈ The US Interstates revolutionised travel in the US as well as altered the landscape of small town America forever.

RSS Birds-of-a-Feather at WWDC tonight 06/30/2004 02:25 PM

If you’re at WWDC, and you’re interested in RSS, please come by the RSS Birds of a Feather discussion tonight.

It’s at 7:30 p.m. in Community 2, Level 2. It’s moderated by Fraser Speirs, and I’ll be on the panel along with Michael McCracken and Steven Frank.

(It’s possible that after the BoF we’ll have to go get some beers.)

Sapir/Whorf raises its head again in study of the Piraha tribe. I can't stop thinking about this article which appeared in the Globe and Mail Friday.

A study appearing today in the journal Science reports that the hunter-gatherers seem to be the only group of humans known to have no concept of numbering and counting. Not only that, but adult Piraha apparently can't learn to count or understand the concept of numbers or numerals, even when they asked anthropologists to teach them and have been given basic math lessons for months at a time ... the Piraha are the only people known to have no distinct words for colours.
They have no written language, and no collective memory going back more than two generations. They don't sleep for more than two hours at a time during the night or day. Even when food is available, they frequently starve themselves and their children, Prof. Everett reports.
They communicate almost as much by singing, whistling and humming as by normal speech.
They frequently change their names, because they believe spirits regularly take them over and intrinsically change who they are.
They have no creation myths, tell no fictional stories and have no art.

Can any of our anthropologists or linguists comment? I had thought that narrative was the common link in all human cultures....

Dick Cheney shoots 70 pen-raised birds 12/10/2003 03:02 PM
Poor Dick Cheney. Those defered-salary payments he receives from Halliburton Oil (which has been importing oil into Iraq -- at taxpayer expense -- at twice the rate other companies have been trucking it in from Kuwait) must not be enough to pay for groceries. He has to go out and shoot his food. Read about his exciting bird hunting trip, where he shot 70 "pen-raised animals that cannot escape." He sure must be hungry. Li nk

One last report on etech. I led a "birds of a feather" discussion on Tuesday night, a circle-the-chairs sort of thing for thirty people. The topic was "From Trees to Tags," and I began with about 12 minutes on the topic. This is from the speaking notes I took into the session, so what follows is highly approximate. It's also highly redundant with other blog posts of mine: I'm writing a book called "Everything Is Miscellaneous," so I convened this BoF selflishly, in order to use you and what you know. One way of getting at what the book is...
