I just had another transforming telecommunications experience. Again, Joi Ito was involved. Joi and I were typing at each other over the Net using Apple's iChat AV. I've never liked Internet chat. I don't like having to type that fast. So, at a certain point, I asked him whether he'd used the audio capacities that are built into iChat AV. I hadn't. A moment later we were conversing by voice through our computers. Despite the fact that Joi is presently in his country house outside of Tokyo and I'm at my condo in Salt Lake, it sounded like he was in the room with me. There was no discernible latency or loss of fidelity. For awhile, we talked as though we were on the phone, and I marveled at being able to conduct a zero-cost trans-Pacific call. (Of course, there's nothing particularly new about voice over IP. But it's never been so stupidly easy to set up, in my personal experience, as it is with iChat AV. Also, it never sounded this good before.) The really interesting shift occurred as we drifted back to what we'd been doing before we started chatting, leaving the audio channel open as we'd did so. We could hear each other typing. One of my daughters entered the room and spoke to me. Joi heard her and said hello. They had a brief conversation, their first since she was a little girl. Joi and I returned our e-mail. I wanted to set up an account on Technorati and broke in to ask him how to do it. He walked me through the process. There were other occasional interjections. I could hear the sounds of construction going on in his house. For a long time, it was as though we were working in the same room, each of us alone with his endeavors and yet... together. Though half a world away. This feels significant to me. Even over shorter distances, people rarely think of phone calls as being so casually cheap that one would simply leave the connection open for ambient telepresence and occasional conversation. To create shared spaces that span the planet, and to do so whenever you feel like it, and to leave them unpurposefully in place for hours, is not something people have done very often before. The next step is to make those shared spaces larger, so that multiple people can inhabit the same auditory zone, entering and leaving it as though it were a coffee house. This will change the way people live. Big deal, you think. You can do this with conference calls now. But you don't. Conference calls are expensive and unstable. The sound quality usually sucks if you're using a speaker phone. I think this is different. It certainly felt different to me. I had the same shiver of the New that I got years ago the first time I ever used telnet and realized that I could get a hard disks to spin in any number of computers thousands of miles away just by entering a few keystrokes. Eventually, Joi had to leave to attend to other business his distant part of Meatspace. We collapsed our huge virtual room into nothing. I went out on my balcony. In the snowy garden below, I watched a deer chase a huge raccoon into the bushes....

Xeni Jardin: Following up on last week's post about the Sri Lankan sensation who plays bongo with her lingo, Boing Boing reader Pablos says: "M.I.A. was scheduled to perform at Chop Suey in Seattle tonight. Apparently she is having some kind of Visa trouble and her show has been cancelled. "

Some speculate the incident may relate to her father's affiliation with a Sri Lankan rebel group designated as a terrorist organization by the US. No news on her site or newsfeeds yet, but she's also scheduled to play at SXSW this week.

Entering credit card numbers

Entering credit card numbers 02/10/2004 02:44 PM
Bruce Tognazzini writes in his Ask Tog column Top 10 Reasons to Not Shop On Line: "...Why can’t I input my credit card number the way it appears on the card? Why do I have to suck the extra spaces out, making it all but impossible to re-scan it for errors? We’re talking three spaces here, three bytes." (via Usability Views) I will quite often try to see if a credit card number field gives me enough room to enter it with spaces. If it does, I will then delete the spaces because I know so many places can't handle them. Any of you web programmers out there, tell me you couldn't write code to strip three spaces out of a credit card number? We're talking regular expressions 101 here. In a similar vein, I once asked a programmer I was working with to allow social security numbers to accept both no spaces or hyphens, and they told me the code to take hyphens out was easier than the code insisting the user enter it without hyphens....

Commercial bl0gs entering Finland

Commercial bl0gs entering Finland 04/08/2005 06:39 PM
My my, what an interesting week this has been: First, Blogilista goes commercial, and now Pirkka-magazine has launched a number of commercial blogs. The Finnish blogosphere reacts with violent distrust and confusion.

I see no problem. These are clearly blogs, simply because th e only meaningful definition for the world blog is based on form, not content. They're not lying about their affiliation. They publish polished content. In fact, I find it wonderful that a media publisher dares to go and try and embrace the new media. They even publish Atom feeds for all blogs! Way!

However, entering the blogosphere may be more difficult than just dumping Movabletype on your magazine web site: people will look at these blogs. They will discuss. They will find crap on them (if there's any). They will write about it. And it's difficult to ignore them, if you want to keep your credibility. Other bloggers will call your bullshit - and very likely, someone in that bunch is at least equal in writing skills and more knowledgeable on the subject than you. And they know it.

Now the question is how much integrity Pirkka wants to have: do they just want to publish news articles in a blog format - or do they really want to go full out and really try to embrace the dialogue that comes with the format?

You see, whatever else blogs may be, they work best as a personal media. You need to let people write with their own voice, not just copying material from others - even if you have all the rights to do so. It's the power and bane of the format; a personal touch creates reader loyalty, but it also means that you have to get involved in your writing - "laittaa itsensä likoon", as the Finns say. And that is not easy.

Welcome to the crowd! I'm happy you're here, anyway. People will grumble, but there's always room for one more in the jacuzzi.

(A quick hint to Pirkka writers: Read http://www.corporateblogging .info/, and Scoble's Corporat e Blogging Manifesto. Understand. Internalize. And stop posting articles from one person under the name of another... That simply takes away credibility from the author.)

(And a quick other hint to people who complain about these being on blogilista.fi: get a clue. Really. Would you stop using a phone book simply because it contains company phone numbers, or stop using Google because it's *gasp* a profit-making company? That's exactly what Blogilista.fi is - an index of blogs, nothing more. It ain't your personal blogospheric community where people live happily and go to the woods to get undressed and hug each other in a blogoslavic überbliss. If you don't like the direction they're taking, learn to use RSS and site feeds, and make your own personal bloglist.

Blogging in Finland is finally growing up. The hype around blogging will cease in a year or two, and hopefully we then can better understand what the media is and what one can do with it. And then we can get back to the really important thing: writing. Writing about your dog, or your political views, or celebrity divorces, or company products, or food, or your sex life, or whatever pleases you. Some bloggers will gain prestige; some bloggers will become influential; some bloggers will make many people laugh; some bloggers will make many people weep. Some will be completely ignored. Most will just for

Department of Homeland Security Prevents
Terrorist from Entering the U.S. 09/25/2004 11:32 AM
As we all know, since September 11, 2001 the U.S. has been much more vigilant in defending itself against terrorist attacks.  In addition to bombing the shit out of the Middle East, we have also established the Department of Homeland Security whose responsibility it is to defend us from terrorists. They have so far done a stellar job, as the U.S. has yet to be hit by another terrorist attack.  But the ever-vigilant Department of Homeland Security is not resting on its laurels. Recently, they prevented the terrorist supporter Yusef Islam from entering the United States.

Another Thought Experiment

Another Thought Experiment 01/16/2004 01:04 PM

Mark Pilgram expresses his concerns about how some aggregators plan to handle invalid Atom feeds. Mark believes that rejecting invalid XML on the client side is a bad idea, and proposes a thought experiment in which all web browsers use strict XML parsers and refuse to display XHTML that isn't well-formed.

This is a bit of a bait-and-switch, though. XHTML has the whole sordid history of HTML on its back, and since browsers have generally been forgiving of even the most convoluted HTML there's a substantial backwards-compatibility issue. The XML-based Atom, however, is brand-spanking new, so it doesn't have the same baggage as XHTML.

So, let's try another thought experiment. I've copied Mark's Atom newsfeed and made it invalid XML by adding a single & character, then uploaded it to my site:

http://www.bradsoft.c om/feeds/badatom.xml

Mark asks us to "imagine that all web browsers use strict XML parsers," but rather than use our imaginations, lets see what happens when we browse this feed in Internet Explorer:

Hmmm...IE appears to be doing client-side validation, and it shows an error instead of displaying the feed's contents. Okay, so let's try Mozilla:

Looks like Mozilla does the same thing. How about Opera?

So, the most popular Windows browsers all perform client-side validation, and fail to display the contents of the invalid Atom feed. There's nothing surprising here, of course - any validating XML parser will reject this feed.

Consumers of RSS feeds have had to code around all sorts of validation problems in order to be backwards-compatible with existing feeds. Atom, however, is new, so customers aren't already subscribed to hundreds of invalid Atom feeds. Being well-formed is a requirement of XML, and Atom is defined as an XML format, so why not expect Atom feeds to be well-formed? Let's get it right this time.

At the end of the day, everybody has to guess who the *REAL* Chris Pirillo is. So, go ahead - post as "me," and then guess who "I" am. All non-me comments will be deleted and banned permanently, so play by the rules or GTFO. This experiment is only valid for this entry....
