We may soon know the identity of Deep Throat. It seems that Bob Woodward has penned the obituary of the elusive Deep Throat. There have been no lack of theories for who might actually be Deep Throat. And of course, any political conspiracy theory secret wouldn't be any fun without tying it back to Bush somehow.

Cory Doctorow: Bill sez, "The Justice Department continues to demand the right to file a secret brief in Gilmore vs. Ashcroft, a case that involves secret law. In response to a September 10th ruling by the 9th Circuit US Court of Appeals that rejected DOJ's attempt to file their arguments in secret, the DOJ filed a motion asking the Court to reconsider its decision."

The Productivity Of First Class

The Productivity Of First Class 06/10/2004 03:09 AM
With all this technology around, it seems that we're starting to see a rebirth of modern Taylorism, where everything is measured in terms of just how productive employees are. The latest is a study that was probably conducted to convince someone's boss why they should get to fly first class, a researcher has studied just how efficient employees are when they work in alternate locations thanks to the wonders of laptop computers. It appears that working in a hotel room is quite productive, but working in a nice business class seat is even more productive than working at home (fewer distractions). However, all of these beat working in that productivity killer: the office. Still, I tend to have problems with productivity studies, as they don't usually measure quality of work - and don't take into account the fact that "unproductive" time may actually be quite useful in leading to much more efficient use of time later on. If someone is constantly working without a break, they may not function quite as well, making obvious mistakes and missing certain solutions. However, someone taking an occasional break will find that his or her brain may continue working on a problem, such that when they return to work they make a major breakthrough. There is a reason why Taylorism was discredited, and all the modern technology in the world won't change that fact.

America's First POWs. The Department of Defense says there were 4,435 battle deaths during the Revolutionary War. More than twice as many Americans died in British prison ships in New York Harbor. You can get an idea of their suffering from the news stories I've linked, or read a more detailed account written in the 1860s from Henry R. Stiles's A History of the City of Brooklyn (scroll down a bit and keep hitting Next). There are more links at this site, which focuses on the long-neglected Monument for the Prison Ship Martyrs in Brooklyn's Fort Greene Park. A remembrance for Memorial Day.

No aid for America's bad image

No aid for America's bad image 12/30/2004 04:51 PM
By lying low in the wake of the Asian tsunami, and then surfacing to pledge the relatively small amount of $35 million in relief aid, has President Bush squandered an opportunity to mend America's image abroad? It's a provocative question posed by David Sanger in the New York Times Thursday, in which he quotes Morton Abramowitz, who served as American ambassador to Thailand a quarter century ago and went on to become one of the founders of the International Crisis Group, which helps prepare governments to respond to unexpected shocks. "It's a tragedy but it is also an opportunity to demonstrate that terrorism doesn't drive out everything else," Abramowitz said. "It's a chance for him to show what kind of country we are."

Cory Doctorow: Merlin Mann has posted part two of his year-end roundup of his project to port Getting Things Done, a productivity book aimed at suits, to nerdy types whose life is organized around technology.

I have had the worst time setting up a single, integrated workflow that works for me. I've flitted endlessly between text files, Entourage, Mail.app, vim, online RSS-based calendars, all-in-one apps, paper planners, Moleskines, index cards, and more in search of the right combination. Each tool and habit has its benefits, to be sure, but I never seem to land on a really satisfying set of apps and practices that feels like it has exactly the right "flow" to it. Most corrosively, I often (really often) blow tons of time ramping up to some new bauble only to ultimately discover it lacks some critical piece (export, reminders, etc. etc.). Bad habits for someone who ostensibly wants his work life to be more productive and waste-free.

Of course, I can write some of the time and effort down to "research" and the fact that part of my work involves learning about new productivity widgets, but I can't avoid the fact that I still don't have a method of handling all my information (and actual work) in a way that I find satisfying and intuitive. Plus I have to admit to some terrible habits surrounding my ongoing search for "The Perfect System(TM)."
