Having been away from New York City for nearly six weeks before I returned, I can't say exactly when the City's train systems -- MTA, Amtrak, and LIRR -- began their new disturbing announcement campaign exhorting all passengers to keep their eyes open and report suspicious behavior immediately to police. But I heard the announcement over and over again, on every subway I rode and while I waited at Penn Station for an Amtrak train to Boston. It was more than the old "unattended bags" line, and it was more than even a "look out for unattended bags." It sounded like, "watch everyone around you and report them to the police." It gave me a very East German Stasi-esque feeling, and of course, got me thinking about what a New Yorker would actually bother to report as suspicious behavior. Living in NYC you see a lot of weird things, things that if you just happened to be visiting NYC you might even find "suspicious" but which are just part of living in a big, messy, diverse, crazy city. Would the woman talking to herself walking in circles count? What about people walking between subway cars, speaking a foreign language? Or someone wandering slowly, eyeing each store in Penn Station? That was me of course, not because I was casing the place but because I was trying to kill time and find a sandwich. Is asking the general population of New York City to spy and snoop on each other a good preventative measure, a la The Wisdom of Crowds, or is it an opportunity for mistrust and misunderstanding, like Annie Jacobsen's Northwest flight from Detroit to Los Angeles in June?

New Look Spies

New Look Spies 04/09/2004 03:54 PM
Readers often write in noticing that Google has replaced their search result links, with tracked links, like: http://www.google.com/url?sa=U&start=1&q=http://google.blogspa ce.com/&e=7898 It turns out Google has actually done this forever, but they only do this to a small percentage of their viewers, so most of the time it won't happen to you. However, in the new Google look an insightful anonymous reader notes that this link tracking seems to be on all the time. Maybe this is just part of testing the new look, but there would be some interesting implications if Google did turn out to track you all the time....

Use of software that monitors Internet activity without a user's knowledge -- termed "spyware" -- is on the rise. The most pervasive use of spyware appears to be in P2P file-sharing apps, such as Kazaa. But many users seem blissfully unaware of spyware's reach. Can PC spies be stopped?

Feeling like a cog with a rubber stamp

Feeling like a cog with a rubber stamp 09/15/2004 05:44 AM

Two years ago I marched in protest against the Japan National ID. Last year, after we failed, a few cities and prefectures resisted. Yokohama took the position that the bill was illegal because it required privacy protection and the privacy bill had not passed. They allowed citizens to opt out and an whopping 24% of their citizens opted out. Now that the privacy bill of the central government is in place, Yokohama is being forced to "normalize" with the central government. Last year, I accepted an appoint to the Yokoyama personal information protection committee which would oversee their integration of the national ID system with the hope that I could help them in their resistance. Today, almost a year after the first meeting, I spent the afternoon in what was basically a rubber stamp session. We voiced our opinions, but at this point there really wasn't much choice. These inquiry committee are constitutionally defined organs for people to interact with the law making process, but I felt more like a cog with a rubber stamp than a participant in a democracy.

Wooden postage stamp from Switzerland

Wooden postage stamp from Switzerland 08/05/2004 12:10 PM
David sez: "Following the w ooden turntable comes the wooden postage stamp! 'On 7 September 2004, Swiss Post will issue its first-ever wooden stamp. Worth five Swiss francs, the "Swiss wood - naturally" stamp is dedicated to Swiss wood... is made of high-quality fir and is 0.7 mm thick.'"

"Yahoo! News reports, 'Designed by Thomas Rathgeb, a graphic artist who works for Swiss Post, the stamps are made from 120-year-old pines felled in northern Switzerland. 'Rathgeb's design focuses on the sustainability and uniqueness of this natural, living material — the structure of the wood, integrated into the contemporary design, produces a different picture on each stamp. This makes each stamp unique, just as each tree is unique,' said Swiss Post."

"The Swiss Post site offers a v ideo clip (WMV) of the production process." L ink
