Apple I: the Mac is amazing
Apple I: the Mac is amazing
01/07/2004 02:43 PMSo months after wondering what this integrated "Rip, Mix, Burn"
technology in OS X is all about, I finally got around to making a
movie --
Mr.
Willem's First Christmas. It was astonishingly easy to make. It
took a couple hours of shooting with a Sony DV Cam, and then a couple
hours editing. Sound directly integrates with iTunes. Photos directly
integrate with iPhoto. And the result directly integrates with iDVD.
All that's missing is a simple way to integrate
Creative Commons licenses, the
way, e.g.,
MT does, and
Adobe will (as announced at our party, at
which the latest cool

looking at a wad of virus-generated mail bounced back to me because it
failed an SPF check at the receiver's end. Yep, that's right. Someone
configured their mail server to check and see if inbound mail had a
forged From address and, if it found that it was, bounce it back. Back
to the forged from. You know, the one you just checked and found
thatit didn't come from. Some days people truly puzzle me....
An amazing Year!
An amazing Year!
06/06/2005 12:01 AMA Year ago I was laying in a hospital bed overseas having just come
out of surgery that resulted in some stainless steel in my back with 4
wicked screws, and a severely damaged vertebrae. This would be the
start of 13 days in the hospital, being fit with a full body cast,
then graduating to a clam shell device that cost my insurance company
7k, and a heavily medicated patient for 8 weeks following the
surgery.
The day I quit my pain meds I went cold turkey on a Friday, told my
Doctor on Tuesday after having a very agonizing 3 days, and nights. I
obviously needed the pain meds early on, and having remembered laying
on a hospital emergency room bed screaming for about the first 9 hours
because the morphin they gave me didn't really help I was reluctant to
go down that road again.
I returned to work after 8 weeks off and within a week, was back in
a Airplane on a 6 week business trip. My Doctor lost his mind but hey
when it was time to get back to work you have to dive back in. The
hardest part for the 3 months was the clam shell was not being able to
pick my kid up.
Finally in Feb of this year, I was given the green light to start
light exercising. I podcasted my hospital experience and you can find
the audio clip on this p
ost you can take a look at the h
ardware I carry around here.
I am not complaining, as I am very blessed to be walking, and even
though I live in a constant state of low level pain life is good.
The wife had expected me to be rolled off the airplane as the initial
prognosis was really bad and instead I walked off.
One thing though because I flew back from the middle east only 15
days after being injured, I had to lay flat as much as possible so I
enjoyed 1st class on 3 consecutive flights and enjoyed the food but
had to decline the liquor, as the Roxicet and the Oxycodone I was
prescribed was enough bad stuff in my blood stream.
Thus having spent my 40th birthday in that hospital bed
contemplating life, and having really looked forward to 2004 being in
my rear view mirror the road ahead is a bright one and I am happy to
be have faired as well as I have. So their may be times when I get
excited about stuff and jump in with both feed but the reason for that
is simple I was given a second chance to make profound changes in my
families and people I come in contact withs life.
My Wife, and Kids were champions and my extended family and friends
prayed and took car of my wife when I was half a world away. Thank you
for being here during the past year also.

The most amazing salad in the world
The most amazing salad in the world
08/01/2004 01:15 PMThe other night, as Jason already reported, I had dinner at Craft. One
of the highlights of the meal for me was the special heirloom tomato
appetizer we ordered. It perfectly accentuated the range of
intoxicating sweetness to be found in these delightful vegetables
(fruits, whatever).
As a fairly recent victor in Battle Tomato, I was surprised by how
much I enjoyed it, and found myself on Friday buying over a pound of
heirloom tomatoes at the Greenmarket to attempt an at-home recreation
of the dish. I'm happy to report that my Craft's Heirloom Tomato Salad
was a huge success (coupled with fresh corn on the cob, it made for an
all-Greenmarket-veggie dinner). So delightful was it that Saturday
morning on my way home from a run, I stopped again at the Greenmarket
to use my last few dollars to buy three more tomatoes. If you enjoy
tomatoes and have access to nice ripe heirlooms, you couldn't ask for
a better way to enjoy them.

Amazing week in EFF's history
Amazing week in EFF's history
12/20/2003 04:52 PMThis was a red-letter week for EFF, with three critical victories
coming each on the heels of the last:
* Under pressure from EFF and a broad, bipartisan coalition of
organizations we led, the U.S. Forest Service announced that
it would drop plans to block messages from web action centers.
* The Dutch Supreme Court upheld a lower court decision protecting
peer-to-peer software provider KaZaA from liability under Dutch
law for copyright infringement by its users. EFF's Fred von
Lohmann will argue a similar appeal in the MGM v. Grokster case
in January, and while the European law is different, the decision
provides a positive context within which to argue that the higher
court should uphold our victory before the lower court last
Spring.
* Finally, the DC Circuit ruled Friday to uphold Verizon's right
to protect its customers' privacy from subpoenas issued by the
Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) under the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). EFF helped lead a coalition of
44 privacy and consumer groups, plus a host of ISPs, in an amicus
brief in support of Verizon.
A reminder: EFF is a member-supported charity -- and you've got just
over a week left to throw some money at a worthy charity before Uncle
Sugar will take it away from you.

Amazing Heinlein discussion on
Electrolite
Amazing Heinlein discussion on
Electrolite
01/10/2004 10:48 AMRespected science fiction critic John Clute
reviewed
Heinlein's long-lost, unpublished novel,
For Us, The Living, for SciFi.com, giving it a rave -- saying
that this was the kind of science fiction that, if it had been
published in its day, might have actually yeilded a generation of
futurists who more-or-less accurately described the
present-day-future.
The 140-comments-and-still-going discussion of this on Electrolite is
just about the most fascinating literary/political/historical
discussion I've ever read. You've got heavy-duty writers,
ex-space-program people, major editors, Heinlein trufans and assorted
others really digging into this idea: how much did Heinlein get right,
what did he get wrong, since when are sf writers supposed to predict
the future anyway, how did his politics change and how did he change
politics? Meaty stuff.
As I said in another thread on another Nielsen Hayden's blog, I
recently re-read "Friday," and then immediately picked up "For Us, the
Living" and read that next. "Friday" was published in 1982, and FUTL
was written in 1937-38. In both novels, Heinlein writes about a
world-spanning information network. The 1982 "Friday" version looks a
lot like the Internet of today; Heinlein's characters sit at
"terminals" and "punch" requests for information -- they can get
everything from the history of the city of Memphis, Tenn., to musical
recordings, to astronomical data. One character removes a "portable
terminal" from her purse and punches for her family financial records,
which she can examine in depth while sitting out in the garden.
Change some of the buzzwords there and you have an accurate portrayal
of the Internet in 2004.
Heinlein's Internet ca. 1938 AD was way cool for fans of retro
futures: users called operators on videophones (I forgot what Heinlein
called the videophones) and the operators sent documents on their way
via pneumatic tube; the tubes could reach from one coast to another.
Whoosh! (Why doesn't the world have long-distance pneumatic tubes,
dammit?!) At one point, a character in the 2085 wants to look up a
newspaper article from 1938; she calls the operator and has a
photostat in her hands within a few minutes.
