2004-11-30: This year, the World Wide Web Consortium celebrates its tenth anniversary—ten years of its mission to lead the Web to its full potential. On 1 December, W3C Members, Team, invited speakers, and international media will gather in Boston, USA to reflect on the progress of the Web, W3C's central role in its growth, and the risks and opportunities facing the Web during W3C's second decade. "This special anniversary brings the opportunity to acknowledge the impact of the Web and the W3C's stewardship role," said Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director. "I hope it will also inspire ever more collaboration, creativity, and understanding across the globe."

Thanks Philip

Thanks Philip 12/27/2003 05:22 AM

This month marks Philip Greenspun's tenth year publishing on the web. Sometime in 1995, I stumbled across http://photo.net/~philg and proceeded to learn quite a bit about web publishing, photography, storytelling on the web, and eventually how databases and collaborative community spaces are built.

There are three or four people that shaped my learning about web technology and during a time where books on the subject were rare, it was due to these folks that I got jobs doing web things and created a number of personal sites and services. They were generous enough to share everything they learned along the way and I've tried my best to pass along my lessons to others. I remember reading every word of Philip's guide to building a community site online and then buying a hardcopy when it was released. The book taught me how to view any potential site as a giant database that could be used by thousands. I used a lot of the ideas when planning out the mechanics and programming of MetaFilter and two years later I was getting accolades< /a> for the work inspired in part by this book.

I've put some effort into tracking down and personally thanking the folks that helped me out early on by publishing tutorials, but Philip was one I never got around to contacting. So thanks again Philip for all you've done and I hope to see you continue for ten years to come.

MP3 interviews with Philip K Dick

MP3 interviews with Philip K Dick 06/07/2004 04:17 AM
David sez, "A friend loaned me a bunch of tapes, and one of them turned out to be an audio interview of Philip K. Dick, interviewed in his home. You can hear the television on and his kids playing in the background. Very relaxed and chatty. I transfered it to mp3s. Everything you hear is exactly what was on the tape. I don't have a lot of server space, so I'll have to post the mp3s a batch at a time. I wouldn't mind if someone wants to provide greater hosting capabilities." Here's David's email if you have some spare hosting capacity you'd like to pass along.

02 -- On RAH.
03 -- Christopher.
04 -- self-sacrifice, the person sacrifices himself for another person.

Philip K. Dick Official Site

Philip K. Dick Official Site 12/02/2003 11:02 AM
The Philip K. Dick Offical Site has opened: relevant not just because the movie Paycheck is coming out this month (based on a short story of his), but because we live in a Dickian world. As he put it, "We live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups. I ask, in my writing, What is real? Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudorealities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms. I do not distrust their motives. I distrust their power. It is an astonishing power: that of creating whole universes, universes of the mind. I ought to know. I do the same thing."

Philip K. Dick Returns as an Android

Philip K. Dick Returns as an Android 06/24/2005 09:06 PM
Showing once again that reality is stranger than fiction, Philip K. Dick has returned from the dead via FedEx. "In an unparalleled technical collaboration, a team of artists, writers, engineers, literary scholars, and freethinkers are creating a lifelike, android portrait of one of America's well-known science-fiction writers Philip K Dick." Among the FedEx-sponsored team is David Hanson, best known to robots.net readers as the creator of K-Bot, an android copy of his girlfriend. Much of the work was done at UTA's Automation and Robotics Research Institute where it was supervised by Paul Williams, a friend of the author. David Hanson's skills provide the life-like android head which reproduces Dick's facial expressions. Other experts have provided face recognition and expression recognition technology for the android. The robot is also said to have full speech recognition and synthesis ability combined with the best in convesational AI. For more, see the Hanson Robotics press release or the PKD-Android homepage (Flash content). You can see the android in a reconstruction of his natural habitat at the Wired Magazine NextFest, June 24-27 in Chicago.

Philip and Alex fly down the East Coast

Philip and Alex fly down the East Coast 03/08/2004 11:03 PM

In the unlikely event that anyone cares and/or wants to get together...  Alex and I are flying Diamond Star N505WT down the East Coast this week.  The plan is as follows:

• Sunday:  Bedford, MA to Teterboro, NJ for lunch with cousin Lynn and family, proceeding to Gaithersburg, Maryland to see parents, siblings, and friends
• Tuesday:  to Norfolk, VA to see friends
• Wednesday: to Gettysburg, PA to visit Matthew Amster, professor of anthropology at Gettysburg College
• Thursday or Friday:  back to Bedford

I don't expect to be able to get Internet access so if you want to get together in one of these places call 617-818-1256 (the cell phone).

[Oh yes... for those who wonder about the safety of letting a dog fly the airplane... I passed my Commercial pilot's certificate checkride two weeks ago and now am working on the Certificated Flight Instructor (CFI) rating.  So it is good practice to fly from the right seat and let a student try his/her hand/paw at the stick...]

10th Anniversary of
photo.net/philip.greenspun.com 01/07/2004 03:36 PM

It was 10 years ago this month that I began to build my personal Web site, which eventually grew into photo.net and philip.greenspun.com.  In December 1993 hardly anyone cared about the Internet or World Wide Web.  Hal Abelson, one of our professors, thought the Web was interesting.  My friend Brian LaMacchia got motivated to set up an HTTP daemon on our Unix file server.  Our classmate Jonathan Rees built a CGI library so that we could write Web scripts in Scheme (a dialect of Lisp).  I began playing around in the hopes that I'd be able to write collaborative networked computer applications without having to build user interface code for every possible operating system.  Zak Kohane, a professor at Harvard Medical School and doctor at Children's Hospital, taught me enough SQL that we could build a Web interface to the Children's Oracle clinical care database.  Nearly everyone to whom we mentioned our little obsession said that we were wasting our time and that nothing especially interesting was going to come out of the Web protocols.

And now, after just 10 years, there are 30+ Internet cafes in Ushuaia, Argentina, the capital of Tierra del Fuego and the southernmost city in the world (54 degrees south latitude)...

Latest Philip Roth novel: Aviation and
Jews

Latest Philip Roth novel: Aviation and
Jews 12/17/2004 06:36 PM

Just finished Philip Roth's latest novel, Th e Plot Against America, a worthy addition to any Jewish pilot's bookshelf.  Roth concentrates on his usual terrain of Newark, NJ Jewish family life.  This time the background is an America in which Charles Lindbergh has beaten FDR in the 1940 presidential election.  Lindbergh proceeds to negotiate deals with Japan and Germany rather than enter World War II and the federal government initiates some programs designed to disperse Jews from their traditional neighborhoods in places such as Newark out into the American heartland, e.g., rural Kentucky.

A lame ending and not as good as Am erican Pastoral, for which Roth won the Pulitzer, but a lot better than Roth's early novels and worth a try even if you were at some point forced to read Portnoy's Complaint.

The inimitable Philip Greenspun and
Software Engineering for Internet
Applications 04/14/2004 01:19 PM
Nowadays I admit i hardly have time to read a chapter, let alone a whole book. Squeezing fresh knowledge from technical books continues to grow harder and harder. After a while my eyes just blur as i read about HTTP for the thousandth time. It takes an excellent writer like Philip to keep these jaded eyes open.

This is the textbook for the MIT course "Software Engineering for Internet Applications". The course is intended for juniors and seniors in computer science. We assume that they know how to write a computer program and debug it. We do not assume knowledge of any particular programming languages, standards, or protocols. The most concise statement of the course goal is that "The student finishes knowing how to build amazon.com by him or herself." Other people who might find this book useful include the following:

• professional software developers building online communities or other multi-user Internet applications
• managers who are evaluating packaged software aimed at supporting online communities--the various chapters contain criteria for judging the features of products such as Microsoft Sharepoint or Microsoft Content Management Server
• university students and faculty looking to add some structure to a "capstone" project at the end of a computer science degree

If you're confused by the "student knows how to build amazon.com" statement, we can break it down in terms of principles and skills. The fundamental difference between server-based Internet applications and the desktop applications that students have already learned to build is that server-based applications have multiple simultaneous users. Coupled with the unreliability of networks this gives rise to the problems of concurrency and transactions. Stateless communications protocols such as HTTP mean that the student must learn how to build a stateful user experience on top of stateless protocols. For persistence between clicks and management of concurrency and transactions, the student needs to learn how to use the relational database management system. Finally, though, this goes beyond the simple standalone amazon.com-style service, students ought to learn about object-oriented distributed computing where each object is a Web service.

PS: This is a free online book.
