12/22/2004 01:49 AMI love books, I love browsing stacks, I love libraries, I love
Powell's in Portland, I like collecting books, I always have a stack
nearby to read, I love looking through picture books, and I love books
even though I didn't really become much of a reader until the end of
my college years (I never read for fun until then). Plunging into the
Internet fed my book addiction further, as I had to read dozens of
computer classics to get up to speed and stay ahead of the curve.
Every computer desk I've had until recently was flanked by bookshelves
loaded with titles.
Earlier this year, I remember hearing Cory
Doctorow give a talk about how ebooks were going to rule the world
and folks would abandon the printed page for the laptop screen. I
thought it was a good talk, but I felt the thesis was a bit ahead of
its time. There's really no comparison between curling up with a book
and a blanket in front of a fireplace, versus trying to read thousands
of words on a screen.
Last weekend I was doing some house cleaning and I kept finding
stacks of books. A stack next to the reading chairs.
A stack on the coffee table. A stack beside my bed. All these stacks
contained books I bought in 2004, but never read. Some, I got halfway
through, but even more I got maybe ten pages in. A few I never even
cracked open.
When I think back to the last three books I enjoyed, they were all
heard on my iPod,
while on a road trip. I can't recall the last book I finished in
my hands.
I'm going to take a holiday trip soon to a fairly remote location
where there's not much to do besides read. I'm going to sit and read
the
only book I've wanted to read this year, and I have a feeling it
might just be one of the last dead tree books I read for a long
time.
As much as I didn't agree with Cory back during his E-tech talk,
I'm finally realizing it's coming true in my own life. I read
thousands of words everyday on my monitors and I rarely take time to
read anything on the printed page, and there's no sign of reversal on
that trend. The scariest thing for the bookfan inside me is that I
don't think it's bad thing, either.
Long live the ebook. Long live the audiobook. So long, dead
trees.

02/01/2005 09:59 PMIn television these days, there is hardly a show that doesn’t
have the blood flowing or the boobies showing. It is hard to find a
show that makes it on wit alone. Till a few weeks ago, I thought I had
found the saving grace with Showtime’s original show, Dead Like

is far from over though. In the past shows would have died…

being the first company smart enough to eliminate the floppy drive

David Pescovitz:
A fertility scientist at the Kentucky Center for Reproductive
Medicine,
Panayiotis Zavo, claims
to have taken cells from dead humans and cloned them. He stopped short
of implanting the embryos, but the scientific community is in an
uproar. According to New Scientist, one of three cases used DNA from a
young girl killed in an automobile wreck. Apparently her parents kept
the tissue in the refrigerator for a few days until sending them along
to the maverick scientist.
“This man preys on the strong desires of the most
vulnerable people in society - giving them false hopes,” says
Robin Lovell-Badge, head of developmental genetics at the UK's
National Institute for Medical Research. Other scientists argue that,
even if cloning a person were possible, the risk of major birth
defects is huge.
Zavos's claims have not yet been published in a peer-reviewed
scientific journal.

Dead-end job memoir
Dead-end job memoir
01/09/2004 09:56 PMThis is the first of a two-part Salon piece on working at a dead-end
customer service job in North Carolina. This genre of memoir is really
compelling to me, maybe because I'm so thankful to
not have a
job like that, but also because it's the 21st Century equivalent of
Orwell's labor-condition memoirs like
Down and Out in Paris and London and
The Road to Wigan Pier.
This was the awakening, the realization that I had officially and for
all time put my head in a noose and the hangman was taking his sweet
time. And that's the day I officially stopped caring. Never stay late.
Never work overtime. Never offer opinions. Do not go the extra mile.
At one time, I offered to train new employees, without a raise in my
salary, just so that I could take the time to train them more
thoroughly (training was fast becoming an afterthought, as people were
needed immediately to answer phones. It didn't matter what they knew
how to do). The problem was that the people who were training me told
me as much, and I refused to believe them. But the equation was
simple: Management is entrenched. They're not going anywhere. The
department is too unwieldy from turnover to create another position.
So why would management struggle to improve the call-taker's lot?

Wigan Pier are online.
Are Taxonomies Dead?
Are Taxonomies Dead?
01/09/2004 09:58 PMThe taxonomy
was always supposed to be the be-all and end-all of information
architecture. A good, solid category structure was how all the
information in an enterprise was supposed to fit together.
But they're harder to build than you think. There are shades of
gray and complications. You need related categories so people can
jump from branch to branch; you can slice information so many
different ways; who can agree where something fits, etc. I've tried
to build a half-dozen, but I can't point to any major successes.
Is the ideal of taxonomy possible? Or is it just better to invest
in a good search engine? Think about it, when you visit a site, do
you ever browse a taxonomy, or do you just go right to search? If
you're looking for something you've seen on this site, do you wade
through the category list, or just hit the search engine?
When was the last time you actually browsed Yahoo! or DMOZ? I know they're there, but I
haven't visited them in ages. Last time I did visit, what was the
first thing I did? That's right — typed something into the
search box.
Search is a lazy man's taxonomy. It's not as organized or
structured as a taxonomy, but human beings — imperfect creatures
than we are — tend to settle to what's easier. So, as an
information architect, do you stand on principle, or do you cater to
the lazy way your users are going to look for information?
This comes from my current infatuation with wikis. There is no
categorizing of pages in wikis (even after my railin
g against all their shortcomings a few months ago), there's just
search and linking between pages. But the search is good, and it
always seems to work. Same with the search on this site — when
I'm looking for a previous post, it just always seems to work, and
that search is nothing but a SQL "LIKE" query, the dumbest search of
all.
So, are taxonomies an ideal that just don't survive the reality
test?

PPTP is Dead, Too
PPTP is Dead, Too
12/22/2004 01:27 AM Microsoft's VPN protocol PPTP is now dead, too: It's been known for a
while that MSCHAPv2 authentication was a bad idea, and PPTP
(Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) relies by default on this method
of credentials. George Ou explains how Joshua Wright, developer of the
Cisco LEAP breaking software Asleap has simply added PPTP breaking to
the mix. Both protocols are weak enough that a weak key choice--short
and found in a dictionary with some variation--can be broken by
iterating through a very large database of precomputed password hashes
that a cracker has put together in advance. They don't have to crack
the authentication process, just grab the transaction and run it on
their own computer against their hashes at a rate of 45 million
passwords per second on a normal desktop computer, Ou writes. Laptops
would be slightly slower. Ou notes that he thought LEAP and PPTP had
similar weaknesses, and Wright's update--made only after contacting
Microsoft and being quite decidedly rebuffed over his concern--shows
he was correct. Long, complex, user-managed passwords can still
protect PPTP because this is a brute-force attack. You can also switch
to using EAP-TLS for the credential exchange in PPTP, but that then
requires corporate public-key infrastructure. WPA has a similar
problem with weak passwords but it's tied to an SSID. So you can't
precompute generally for passwords as with the LEAP and PPTP weakness,
but you could precompute passwords against common SSIDs, like linksys.
Assuming, as wardrivers have discovered, that the vast majority of
base stations have a default SSID, this makes it a little simpler, but
not trivial. Likewise, only weak WPA passwords can be broken, so
you're stuck for people who throw in a couple of exclamation points.
I'm just testing Buffalo's new VPN (PPTP) router, and discovered that
they set the default SSID to the MAC address of the unit, which,
although ugly looking in a list of available networks, would defeat a
precomputed default SSID password database. (Thanks to Robert
Moskowitz for a prod to clarify this.) When I say a security protocol
is dead, I don't mean that it's actually impossible to use. It's just
that you can no longer use it with any degree of assurance that the
purpose for which it was intended can be fulfilled. It's like driving
a car with a cracked windshield. It keeps the bugs off, but it's not
really safe to drive...

Film ain't dead yet
Film ain't dead yet
01/22/2004 12:53 PM
A photo taken on New Year's Eve which we spent at a friend's house
with several other couples and their children who didn't stop moving
all evening. It was one of the very first shots taken with the Leica
and a really old roll of C-41 process B&W film I happened to have
around. I'm impressed that I captured her smirk in spite of the low
light, her dervishness and my rusty manual camera reflexes. The
picture would have been totally different had I taken it with a
digital camera and I'm not entirely certain it would have been a
presentable photo.
Recently, Kodak
announced that it plans to discontinue a number of products including
their line of APS film cameras which, if you believe a lot of the
chicken little reports around the net, means the end of film
photography as we have known it for the past century. Well, aside from
the bias that people in the insular world of the internet tend to
place on everything from Dean to the blog revolution, film is not
doomed or otherwise obsolete even if all the kids who wouldn't part
with their digital cameras say it is. The market Kodak is getting out
of is one that has gone digital but there are plenty of film fanatics,
film cameras and film processing labs out there to keep film in
business for many more years.
I succumbed to the siren call of a digital camera about 3 years ago
and, while I think digital has helped me to become a better
photographer, I don't know that it has produced better photos than a
film camera. I recently read Why
digital cameras = better photographers which is a nicely
done article on what makes digital attractive but, judging by a lot of
the digital photos I've seen around the net in comparison to the film
photos, I don't know that this is entirely true. Digital has produced
a lot more photographers and photos so that the odds of there being
more and better pictures is greater than before. I often wonder how
many great photographers there would have been in the 1920s and 1930s
had there been as many film cameras in the hands of people as there
are now. A digital SLR gives you enough exposure feedback to get a
feel for what the camera is doing which you can then take back to your
film camera, but most digital cameras are completely automatic. People
are taking more pictures and enjoying their cameras more so digital is
a boon for getting more people interested in photography. However,
this is not the death knell for film. Not yet anyway.
I'm getting back into film partly due to many of the inspiring
photoblogs I've found at Photoblogs.org in which many of
them have pictures taken on film that appeal to me far more than many
of the digital photos I've seen or taken myself. Both formats have
their strengths and weaknesses for me and, I suspect, they are similar
for others.

-
No batteries necessary.
-

-
Fewer buttons and gadgets.
-
No CPU to crash at unexpected times.
The Elph is a fun little digital camera that I can take in my pocket
anywhere and use for photographic post-it notes or fun candids to
share. The 10D may gather some dust for a while since the Leica and
the Lomo are a lot easier to carry around and they seem to
capture more interesting images as perfection doesn't leave a lot of
room for creative imperfection.

PSP Pixel Problems
03/28/2005 04:06 PMAs I mentioned here last week, the PSP debut has brought with it a
relatively large group of complaints about dead pixels on the
screens. They range from a single pixel to whole rows or columns of
dead pixels. Anandtech has posted a response from Sony about
the dead pixels. It’s a generic type response, but worth
reading..
The Sony
rep suggested that PSP owners who encounter the pixel issue should try
the device "for a week or two" to see if it continues to bother them.
"If you find the spots are interfering with gameplay/video viewing
during this period, we will support the various elements of [the PSP]
warranty," the rep said. Each PSP comes with a one-year limited
warranty, which is on page 125 of the PSP manual. If a PSP is
"determined to be defective" by SCEA, the company will see to the
"repair or replacement of this product [the PSP] with a new or
refurbished product at SCEA's option."

purchase a video card, then you will have no doubt heard the terms
"Vertex Shader" and "Pixel Shader". What do they mean, other than
that marketdroids will never cease to invent crappy technology jargon?

basic 3D graphics tutorial. It's nothing more complicated than what
you'll see in your final year of high school (linear algebra). If
you're totally non-technical, run screaming now.
