Urban farmers reclaim Detroit

Urban farmers reclaim Detroit 12/11/2003 09:39 AM
In Detroit, urban farmers, frustrated with buying their groceries at Party Stores now that the grocery chains have largely pulled out of the city, have begun to reclaim Detroit's vast empty spaces for grow-your-own operations, complete with livestock and tractors.

After decades of blight, large swathes of Detroit are being reclaimed by nature. Roughly a third of this 139-square-mile city consists of weed-choked lots and dilapidated buildings. Satellite images show an urban core giving way to an urban prairie.

Rather than fight this return to nature, Mr. Weertz and other urban farmers have embraced it, gradually converting 15 acres of idle land into more than 40 community gardens and microfarms — some consuming entire blocks.

Since Microsoft was found in court to have illegally used its monopoly powers to overcharge consumers in California, some 14 million Californians have been able to claim a rebate from the software monolith. There should be up to $1.1 billion in the kitty to dole out to ripped off consumers but so far only a relatively small number of claimants has come forward to claim the dosh – around 590,000, or four per cent of those eligible, the claims administrator reported.

The walkman has been around for decades now, and finally, someone has gotten around to studying the social impact of personal music players. He suggests that, with so many visual messages being targeted at us every day as we walk around, personal music players allow people to reclaim their personal space by putting their own soundtrack on it, and letting it match their own preferences and mood, while also blocking out certain elements of the outside.

Unnatural Selection

Unnatural Selection 02/01/2005 10:05 PM
An MIT Technology Review article offers a good introduction to the use of evolutionary algorithms for hardware design. By replacing natural selection with a user-defined fitness function genetic algorithms use random mutation and recombination of the most fit designs to produce continually better designs. The article includes plenty of real-world examples of the results including "a corkscrew contraption small enough to fit in a wine glass, yet able to send a wide-beam radio wave from space to Earth. It resembles nothing any sane radio engineer would build on her own." The article also touches on John von Neumann's "complexity barrier" and the origins of genetic algorithms in the 1950s.

On the GUI Selection in UserLinux

On the GUI Selection in UserLinux 12/15/2003 08:04 PM
In the original UserLinux white paper, I made it clear that the project would play favorites among the software choices available to it, and that the resulting process would be painful. You can't say that you weren't warned. But it turns out not to be particularly painful, except for one issue: the selection of the GUI used in the system. The selection of GNOME as the GUI of the UserLinux project has raised a good deal of opposition from KDE supporters.

Xoxide and Link Selection

Xoxide and Link Selection 07/01/2004 03:56 PM

Xoxide: So, here's our first LinkWorth advertiser, and the process of getting this one up was eye-opening.

At the risk of sounding like a shill, approving this link was kind of a no-brainer. Click around their store for a while and you'll see what I mean — I was like a kid in a candy store here. I'm not a case modder at all, but they have some insanely cool stuff for sale.

I have two other links pending, which I'm trying to evalulate right now. The questions I'm asking myself are (1) are there any reasons I shouldn't link to them? Do they have crappy service? Are they deceptive in anyway? Are a lot of people ranting about how they suck?

And (2), is there any reason I really should link to them? Are they cool in some way? If I weren't getting paid, would I make a blog entry about them? (With Xoxide, I think I can answer "yes" to that question, given the stuff Joe pointed out over there.)

This is the harder question, because I have a pending link that isn't objectionable in any way, but it's just....well, kind of blah. It's an example of someone trying to force a business model that's probably not going to happen. I'm not sure it really adds any value to the Internet as a whole.

(Another question: why don't I get this uptight about the Google ads? Probably because I have no control over them. I have plausible deniability there. With LinkWorth, however, I'm proactively making the decision to include the link, and that's a little harder.)

Am I being naive here? Is the hope of accepting paid links —but only good paid links — at all realistic? I don't know, but stay tuned and I'll keep you informed about how it works out.
