NASA Fired Will Carpenter for writing a short story. "Some kind of harrassment," they said, and since Texas is an at-will employment state, there's not much he can do about it. Is this story a valid means of self-expression or a harrassing glimpse into jilted anger? I've stumbled across more and more news stories about people being fired for writing, and students expelled for writing "dark poetry" in the classroom. How much do you have to keep secret from your classmates and co-workers?

After The Lawyers, Can We Kill All PR
People? 07/15/2004 02:00 PM
I would really like to believe that not all PR people are this bad, but I'm beginning to lose faith. Last year, I wrote up a longer piece about PR people who don't understand blogs and tried to do things like trick bloggers into writing about the companies they represented. I mentioned, in passing, that some PR people submit press releases to the site, even though we clearly say not to do so. I can certainly understand it if a PR person didn't happen to catch that post. However, if you're going to be in PR, and you're going to try to get blogs to write about the companies you represent, we should set some ground rules. First: Read the damn site. If we never talk about highly technical things like a new computer fan, do not try to get us to write about a new computer fan. You're wasting our time, your own time, as well as the money of the company you represent. Second: Read the damn submission page. If you're not going to understand what the site is about, at the very very least (we're not asking for much) you could read the page where you submit the press release, because it says (in bold) not to submit press releases. If you can't even bother to read that page, why should we bother to read your press release? Finally: If you're going to ignore both of these fairly simple rules, do not then claim on your own website that you are somehow "A High Tech PR Agency" or that you have "the broadest high tech PR experience of any Public Relations Agency." It's not true. If it were true, you would know not to do what you keep doing. Also, don't claim that you "did online PR before the Internet." You didn't. The internet was there before you were. This isn't difficult, but bloggers are not traditional press. While some of them may accept press releases, the fact that you can't bother to take the briefest amount of time to figure out what kind of publication we are suggests you're not so tech savvy after all.

Congrats to Roland and Boris and.....

They've just launched Bryght - a Drupal hosting service. I hung out with these guys a bit when I was in Vancouver and they're certainly a compelling reason for moving there.

Vancouver is hot.

Here's Roland's post....

Our latest venture is Bryght, a hosted Drupal service, "the Salesforce.com of community content". I am working with Boris, Richard, Adrian and James on this one. Yes, we are all Bryght guys :-) !

We have taken Drupal and combined it with web hosting and email to give you a one stop shop for your community content. No IT required, no muss, no fuss! Check out The lights are on at Bryght for more background on how this started. And if you know of an individual, organization or company that could use a Bryght site, please contact us.

Whither StreamLine you might ask? StreamLine continues and it will continue to resell Blogware blogs because we still believe that Blogware is the best individual blogging platform.

Lily Cheng from Microsoft Research is talking about how people represent themselves on line. The closer the friends, the fuzzier they want the representations. We need to make social tools fluid enough to account for the way people's lives change. We need easy access to friends and people important to us. We want sponatenous interactions. Lily's group went to a mall and asked people to draw their social interactions, and gots lots of circles and lines.

Starting with this year's State of the Union address, President Bush began a plan to increase aid to Africa, and at the center of that plan is funding to prevent the spread of AIDS and HIV that has reached epidemic proportions on the continent. Critics however, have noted that aid to clinics comes with strings attached. Abstinence is preached first and foremost and condoms are mentioned only as a last resort. This reporter flat out says the policy to curtail the funding and use of condoms in Africa is killing millions.

In the beginning, I didn't know exactly how it would turn out, but I did know that I wanted to be good. Between then and now, an awful lot became clear.

A LinuxPlanet article gives a fairly complete account of Team Jefferson and their Linux-based DARPA Grand Challenge robot, Tommy. Paul Perrone and the other members of Team Jefferson have chosen Fedora Linux as the high-level OS for their robot. There are also embedded micro-controllers handling lower-level functions. Linux is commonly used in robotics aplications but Team Jefferson is unusual in that the chose Java as the development platform for both the Linux box and the microcontrollers. This "might raise a few eyebrows. After all, traveling at 40 miles an hour is no place to get stuck doing a garbage collection pass."

Guns and jets

Guns and jets 03/08/2004 11:03 PM

My friend Brad, a jet pilot with heroic flying skills, graciously agreed to help me with the Commercial maneuvers and precision landings today.  We hauled N505WT out of its hangar and headed out to Worcester with the GPS turned off and the gyro-stabilized compass covered up.  Flying along at 2500' it was actually a bit tough to pick out landmarks from the VFR chart.  After 10 landings we decided it was time for some of the free cookies that they bake at the Worcester FBO (airplane gas station) so we taxied into the ramp.  The scene was one of utter desolation.  The main terminal building looked empty.  The last scheduled airline flights from Worcester ceased about one year ago.  The general aviation area contained a small collection of cheap piston-powered airplanes (like mine!).  At Bedford, N505WT's home airport, there is always at least $300 million of private jets on the ramp, waiting to take hard-working public corporation executives from golf game to weekend house.  The woman behind the desk confirmed that not a single jet had landed at Worcester all day.

As we were starting up N505WT a good-sized business jet was taxiing in.  A van drove up to meet the passengers at the side of the $10 million twin-turbojet-powered plane.  "What luxury!" we thought.  "This is the only way to travel.  They're probably just back from a resort in Mexico."  A couple of guys got out of the van and walked around the plane wearing guns.  Security for someone important!  The one passenger got out, a teenager wearing a rather plain jumpsuit.  Then we noticed that his legs were chained together...

Yet another thing that America's richest and poorest citizens share:  traveling by private jet.

Oh yes, speaking of guns.  A friend from the MIT Media Lab sent around a home video yesterday.  It seems that he has put the filmmaking skills that he learned there to good use and has made effective use of the Internet in distributing his creation.  Click right on the following link and then "Save Target As" before playing from your own hard disk in a separate player window (100 or 200% size is best): boyhood dream.

Twenty years ago people talked about Arpanet/Internet leading to an explosion in video creativity and distribution but it just wasn't practical with the available bandwidth and percentage of consumers hooked up.  Today all the pieces are in place.

Following up on our previous post about the Pentagon's new Active Denial System (energy beam) and other "non-let hal" weapons, here's a New Scientist feature about the state-of-the-art in ray guns:

"...the $9000 Close Quarters Shock Rifle projects an ionised gas, or plasma, towards the target, producing a conducting channel. It will also interfere with electronic ignition systems and stop vehicles.

'We will be able to fire a stream of electricity like water out of a hose at one or many targets in a single sweep,' claims XADS (Xtreme Alternative Defense Systems) president Peter Bitar."

Amnesty International and other human rights groups are none too thrilled. Link
