Radio Interview with John Brady Kiesling and John H. Brown
Radio Interview with John Brady Kiesling and John H. Brown03/15/2003 06:05 AM KALW in San Francisco did an hour
long radio interview with John Brady Kiesling and John H. Brown,
the American Foreign Service officers who resigned over Bush's Iraq
policy. Both are impressive speakers, and Kiesling is as articulate
and as convincing as his letter:
If we can't convince
our historical allies that this is a good thing to do, there is no way
we are going to be able to convince the Arab world.
People have to take a stand. War may be inevitable, but we need to do
what we can to keep our consciences clean.
There is a policy to make America safer, but this is not it.
"America is still the safest country in the world. The
administration is trying to scare people with this talk about terror
and duct tape. We should use our safety and prosperity and our
strength to do good and we can do good."
Brown said his resignation was "in part a result of Andrew Card's
comment, 'Never launch a product in August.' War is not a
product."
I learned a lot from listening to it. Recommended. Requires
Real Player.

Pretec Electronics
Corporation, apparently unaware that more than eight competing formats
already exist in this market, has developed a new flash memory card
called the C-Flash. Smaller than a dime, Pretec seems to be gambling
on the "hope your customers lose your product and don't learn from
their mistakes" business model. Cards with capacities up to 1GB will
be available by June, and they're sampling them in mobile phones,
which is just about the only place I'd want to see one. Honestly,
though, there comes a point (perhaps when you require magnification
equipment) when it's just too small. A note to these
companies with the perpetual smaller-is-better mentalities: Just
because I might one day be able to carry all of my media collection as
well as the Library of Congress on a card the size of an eyelash
doesn't mean I'll want to, dig?
While on the topic of Flash Memory formats, now seems like a good
time to mention LIVEdigitally's Flash Card roundup, wherein they break
down the Flash Jungle into small, manageable pieces.

Flash In The Pan - Or Flash and The Money?04/13/2005 05:33 PM "I saw some websites from an award winning designer, frequent user of
flash media. Of course, he has a team of pros in his design studio.
They're artists to the max. Out of my league. Is this the wave of the
future?"

John Kovalic07/25/2004 07:15 PM Brief notes from John Kovalic's (the creator of Dork Tower) speech:
My first game was edited by Peter Jackson. Little did I know he
would become such a horrible, horrible figure in my life.
Physics classes would go much faster, if you sat in the back
drawing cartoons.
My influences are my mom (a columnist) and Charles Schoulz
Roleplaying games in high-school (loved creating my own worlds)
Liking "Traveller" is not a good reason to go study
astrophysics
"I'm very bad at the games I drew. I've never won a game of
Munchkin - even when they let me draw my own cards at a con in Cork,
Ireland."
"I'm a complete mercenary - I work for anyone who is not a
babykiller"
"I got a call from someone in Hollywood making the Dork
Tower movie." *The audience erupts in laughter*
Chez Geek characters were taken from actual University of
Wisconsin students - John spent a lot of time drawing them :)
"Are you here, honey? [Referring to wife] Good - then I can
tell this. I introduced her to gaming via MtG?. I used
Call of Cthulhu to introduce her to role playing games. Big mistake!
Don't do it!"
"People ask me to draw Ginny naked. People, I draw them
with three fingers - what do you think I would do with the rest of
their anatomy?"
John von Neumann12/28/2003 01:46 PM John von
Neumann, 1903-1957 . Today may have been the 100 year anniversary
of the birth of John von Neumann (some think he may have been born on
December 3rd). Along with Alan Turing and others, Von Neumann is one
of the contenders for the title "Inventor of the modern
computer." Whatever the precise date, it seems worth celebrating
with some von Neumannania:
1,
10,
11,
100,
101,
110,
111
,
1000,
1001.
The CIA Assassination of John Lennon12/03/2003 03:49 PM My friend, cartoonist Mack White, has a new one-page comic called
"Dead Silence in the Brain: The CIA Assassination of John Lennon." The
page also has a bunch of links relating to government-sponsored
assasinations and real-life Manchurian Candidates. Link
I'm proud to know
John. He's become a catalyst for alot of things - including some
killer parties on the rooftop of "The Industry Standard".
I still remember standing in line at 4:45 on a Friday - so I could
get a good piece of the roof - as the masses flowed in. It was THE
place to do deals and meet people - at the height of the boom.
Now John has his book and his conference - Web 2.0. Watch for him
to start a company this year. It was part of his predictions for
2005.
Censor Us, John Ashcroft
Censor Us, John Ashcroft04/30/2004 10:44 AM This video places John Ashcroft on the receiving end of abuse from
statuesque women, but frankly I'm more disturbed by how much Ashcroft
sounds like puppets from the nightmarish children's program Gigglesnort Hotel.
