The life and death of a supersized man. Walter Hudson was fat. Precisely how fat was impossible to determine, because the one time he agreed to be weighed on an industrial-strength scale, it broke. (Maybe it was something he ate?) But no one denies that Hudson was one of the most obese people of the modern era (note: pictures not safe before lunch). Former comic, erstwhile diet guru, civil rights activist and Michael Jackson proponent Dick Gregory was one of Hudson's many exploiters, but Hudson's agoraphobic existence sounds almost beatific.

The new Pratimoksha (Buddhist Monastic Code) is out, and it has lots to say about spending too much time with the Interweb and ot enough with your Buddha nature:

44. A bhikshu who has his private e-mail account with the result that he spends an inordinate amount of time in making unnecessary communications or communications which foster attachment commits an offence for which he must express regret...

46. A bhikshu who plays electronic games including those on the computer, commits an offence for which he must express regret.

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?

Meet Mia

Meet Mia 04/04/2005 01:57 AM

One bit of joy amidst the sadness of leaving Creative Commons is the opportunity to introduce you to Mia Garlick, our new General Counsel. Mia is an IP expert who just recently came to CC from the Silicon Valley branch of the top-notch law firm Simpson Thatcher and Barlett, which she joined after getting her LLM from Stanford (specializing in Law, Science, and Technology). Before coming to the States, Mia had a far-ranging and powerful IP and media law practice in Australia, her home. I've gotten to work with Mia over the last two weeks and am wildly excited both for the staff and for her, as the great CC experiment continues to expand. Mia's strengths in media, international law, and science fit the organization's future needs to a T, and her quick wit and energy will make her a blast to work with, inside CC and out. Congrats and best wishes to you, Mia!

As a boy living just outside Newark, Delaware my favorite college team was the Fightin’ Blue Hens. I remember well when they won the Division II championship.

I also remember hating their various rivals—Temple, Lehigh, Villanova, and, most especially, Colgate.

Gimme a C! Gimme an O! Gimme an L! Gimme a G! Gimme an A! Gimme a T! Gimme an E!

What does that spell?

Toothpaste!

Anyway, now the Hens will face Colgate in the Division I-AA championship this Friday.

Go Blue Hens!

(It’s not lost on me that a fightin’ blue hen doesn’t sound as ferocious as a lion or a bear. Oh well. I probably shouldn’t mention, but I will, that the football team for the nearby high school is the Ballard Beavers. “You better get outta my way Mr. linebacker or I swear I’m gonna build a dam in this creek.”)

Great to meet Ted

Great to meet Ted 04/11/2004 04:13 AM

OK - multi-post sequence - all based upon this post......

See my comments at the end........

Here's Ted Leung.......

Back. Well, I"m finally back in the saddle after a week at OSAF. It was five months since my last visit, which was probably a little too long. Some of the things that I talked about this week included several meetings on Item Clouds, a long clarifying discussion on our Data Model, and several discussions on Item Sharing. Anthony Baxter dropped by to tell us about shtoom, encourage us to think about voice in Chandler and suggest some ways to get more involved with the python community, so I suppose I'll forgive him for greeting me by telling me that I looked like ****. It was also a good time to be around to accelerate the coordination needed for planning the 0.4 release, and since we've hired a number of new folks, it was good to meet all of them, and spend some time developing existing relationships.

This trip I also managed to have an active evening social calendar. I spent one evening with our old family friends David and Katherine Fedor. It's been entirely too long since I saw them -- hopefully we'll be able to get the families together sometime soon. I spent another evening with fellow Brownies David Temkin and Sarah Allen who are both at Laszlo. David and I worked on Newton together, and it was interesting to hear his reflections on the project now that a number of years have passed.

I also ended up spending an evening with Marc Canter, his wife Lisa, and Phil Wolff. Marc is doing a bunch of open source style projects in addition to his consulting with various companies in the social software space. A lot of what he's doing right now centers around FOAF, and I'm looking forward to seeing the results soon. I think that there could be a nice tie in between the PeopleAggregator and Chandler's "sharing circles". One thing that Marc's interested in is being able to build another user interface on top of Chandler functionality. If we do a good job at MVC in CPIA, then this shouldn't be that much labor. Something that struck me as I talked with Marc was the long term view that he's taking of the stuff that he's working on. He's thinking multiple years worth of effort, a point of view that's been in short supply / disfavor since the dot com boom and "internet time".

Phil Wolff has gotten a fair amount of reading in our house -- he's hit both my and Julie's aggregator. In fact, when I told Julie I was meeting Phil too, she exclaimed "the thousand beers guy". You never know what will stick... Phil's been doing a lot of work with the Kerry campaign, and thinking about the issues related to taking the software artifacts created by campaigns and making sure that they have a life so that succeeding elections/campaigns could make use of them. He also asked me some interesting questions about Chandler. How will Chandler compete with a "Google in a box" appliance that includes search, e-mail, etc? How will Chandler do calendar support for events like Muslim prayers which occur a sunrise and sunset in your current location? This requires knowing where you are in the world so that you can compute when sunrise and sunset are. Food for thought, indeed. Phil had two thought provoking posts earlier that day, one on the 'Perfect' Corporate Weblogging 'Elevator Pitch' Competition (which he is judging) and another on social network software.

Lisa, Marc, and Phil got me the last night I was in town, and by then I was slightly draggy (I didn't say that Anthony was wrong), so I hope that I was suitably interesting company. [Ted Leung on the air]

It was great to meet Ted Leung - someone who I have been reading and who's working at one of my favorite entities - OSAF.  When Mitch and Andy were on their original road show - showing off version .1 of Chandler - they promised me that we'd be able to build on the APIs and data structures - utilizing what's known as an 'object store'.

Dave Winer had built an object store - it was called the XML storage system - so I knew that the world needed an open source of of those.  When I heard Chandler had one - I got excited!

So we all have vested interests in seeing the OSAF succeed.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people all come up with the same conclusions on FOAF, sharing and multiple accounts being aggregated together.  This meme is taking off.

« A picture of a sentraalisantra [telephone operator] from Lapijoki, a small town in western Finland just north of Rauma, in the late 1930s or so. You can just feel the telephone wires burning with gossip. The deckled edge of the photo is especially nice since such touches aren't offered in modern photo prints. »

We went to Vammala with Jarkko's parents on Saturday for a big book sale, the Vanhan Kirjallisuuden Päivät. It was possibly the most crowded old book sale, outside of the Hay Festival, that I've ever been to as it was pretty mobbed which wasn't helped by the crappy rainy weather that kept everyone indoors. It's an annual event so I'm looking forward to next year's sale as we had a great time pawing through the tables of books when we could get close enough to them.

I think there must be a healthy number of postcard collectors in Finland judging by the number of booksellers who had a rather large selection of vintage postcards and paper ephemera to choose from, including the picture of Irene, the sentraalisantra in the center of Lapijoki, above for a euro. I picked up 2 interesting collections of postcards from Czechoslovakia and Pärnu, Estonia for just under 2 euro and a number of other Finnish postcards from the early 1900s. A particular series of postcards printed by Suomen Kuvataide Oy in the 1950s has consistently caught my eye but I can't seem to find much out about the company or the postcards from that era. I added to my collection a postcard of the Rautatieasema which still looks much the same today.
