I have to agree with David 's observation about weblogs in a post-Google buyout of Pyra.

Whenever I meet extended family, family friends, or new people at a non-web party I'm often asked what I do for a living. After a couple years of confused faces, I've settled upon "computer stuff" as a generic catch-all. Last week when I met some friends of other family members, I gave them the generic answer, but when a family member asked me about the pyra-google deal, these new friends (both lawyers, and not net savvy) perked up and said "Oh! That's the blogging thing. You worked for that blogging company?!"

It's like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I never have to explain what a weblog is ever again.

ihateeveryoneandeverything.blogspot.com -- a weirdly readable blog from, apparently, a typical intelligent teenager angry at the bullshit she sees around here. It's both funny and sad.

Example post: "'When the night falls upon the relic of humanity, near nor far will we gather.' What do you think that means? Our society will fall and we won't even take notice? Right? No, you psychopaths. It doesn't mean anything. I just made that up. I can't stand when people read into things too much. When famous writers pooped out their famous stories, i don't think they meant for a 2 page short story to turn into a 200 page analysis. Please, shut the fuck up."

My first hate email

My first hate email 09/03/2004 08:44 AM

« A light at the end of a narrow tunnel. »

I have finally received my very first hate mail from some undereducated conservative who declared that "Your a socialist idiot. Your site sucks." I'm positively tickled that one of the more erudite and articulate took the time to send me the very best, especially on a day when I really needed a good giggle. So here's a shout out to Benboul@aol.com. May it bring him all the offers for viagra and nude teen girls he can handle in a glorious shower of inbox capitalism. Also, I might point out for the Americans who don't seem to understand the definition of socialism that Finland isn't a socialist country nor is wanting a good education and affordable healthcare for all citizens socialist, not to mention it would be a better long-term investment than all the oil in Iraq. Well, at least if you aren't in the oil industry.

It does amuse me that somehow being a real moderate interested in what used to be traditional family values of educating children and proper medical care earns me the label of 'socialist'. It reminds me of a brilliant essay in the book, Going Nucular: Language, Politics, and Culture in Controversial Times, which I read recently that explores the new usage of labels from the McCarthy era. Since it's such a timely topic and the essay is so interesting, I'll quote heavily from it as it's a tightly written piece and encourage anyone who is interested in how words shape the news and views of readers everywhere to purchase a copy.

"Where the Left Commences."

[...]

Leftist was not a word to be used lightly, even by the right. In a 1954 editorial, the Wall Street Journal worried that McCarthy's "slam-bang denunciations of ... 'leftist' influence" were making him a "depreciating asset" to the Republican Party, with the quotation marks around "leftist" hold the word at arm's length.

By all linguistic rights, the leftist label should have disappeared from the lexicon as McCarthyism faded, and as labels like communistic, fellow traveler and Communist sympathizer (or comsymp for short) were going the way of the poodle skirt. But leftist lingered, shifting its reference to antiwar demonstrators. Only after the Vietnam War did the word begin to decline as an epithet, though it was still routinely used in foreign news reports.

Then, in the late 1990s, leftist underwent a sudden revival. The word is 50 percent more frequent in major newspapers and magazines now than it was five years ago, with almost all the increase a result of its use as a label for domestic groups and individuals. Apart from the odd reference to Angela Davis or the Spartacist League, leftist nowadays is almost never used for old-style radicals or Marxists. In fact it was the eclipse of the movement left and the fall of Communism that freed the word to serve as a phantom finger that the right could wave in the culture wars.

[...]

It's getting hard to tell leftists and liberals apart without an agenda. Hence the increasing popularity of liberal-leftist, which merges categories on the model of compounds like toaster-oven and owner-occupier. (Linguists call those compounds "dvandvas," a term invented by the Sanskrit grammarians.) Peggy Noonan has use the double-l word to describe abortion-rights groups, and during Hillary Rodham Clinton's Senate race, the conservative commentator John Podhoretz described her as "running as an unapologetic liberal-leftist."

But liberal Democrats never describe themselves as leftists, not even apologetically. (For that matter, there are many who are willing to describe themselves as liberals, either.) That's the fundamental asymmetry of the left-right distinction in American politics. Historically, the left commences where liberalism ends. But conservatives have never demurred from placing themselves on the right, letting qualifiers like mainstream and extremist do the work of sorting out the bow-tied Alsopians from the fatigues-wearing abolish-the-I.R.S. crowd. True, many conservatives are uneasy about the label right wing, and though a few call themselves rightists, the world sounds too exotic for most to put it on their business cards. But no one feels the need for a compound like conservative-rightist - there's no distinction to blur in the first place.

The new uses of leftist exploit that asymmetry. They're aimed at nudging the political center to the right, by portraying social liberals as radicals outside the mainstream. That's a risky semantic maneuver. In any tug of war between a label and the things it's attached to, the label ultimately loses. Sometimes it's simply diluted to the point of meaninglessness. That happened with the fascist label after the American left began to throw it around indiscriminately in the 1970s, and it may very well be the fate of imperialist now. But the leftist label is less likely to be superannuated than drawn back into the center. Describing the Girl Scouts or Arlen Specter as leftist doesn't demonize them so much as make the epithet itself sound less alarming.

[...]

It is very curious how leftist and socialist have experienced a renaissance in the past five years which would suggest it began around the time of Dumbya's presidential campaign. It really is as though we've entered a new age of McCarthyism. The use of compounds to try and fill a gap in the lexicon is also rather pernicious since you'd normaly expect such bunching of words from children taunting each other on the playground, not political commentators who can't decide if someone is one thing or another so they just shove two words together with a hyphen thinking they're accurate but wind up making both meaningless and less insulting. Yow! Have I strayed from the flock, the mainstream, and joined such radicals as the Girl Scouts and their communist cookie campaigns?! If you aren't a bible thumping fundy freak who agrees with everything the president says you must be some sort of extremist freak who hates freedom and America!

It's hard to say what label actually describes my political leanings as I don't know that leftist, liberal, socialist or democrat are very accurate or meaningful. Perhaps this year there needs to be a new label just for the folks like me who tend to vote on the issues rather than the personalities and war records of the candidates, and who feel like something is terribly wrong that Dumbya and the entire cabinet haven't been impeached for lying and even admitting that they lied to get the US to go to war. How about right-left-moderate-cynics?

I hate Bankers 07/30/2004 03:44 AM

We have been in the market for a new home and will be moving into one on the 21st of August. It is new and completely finished minus the carpeting the wife is very happy as the place we have been living in was built in the 60's. The difference are stark and the best thing is it is wired to the hilt. I have multiple network/cable/power drops the best thing is it has a garage. Such heaven as the place we are in now doesn't and I can't wait to fill it up.

The wife and I where in today making extra measurements to make sure that the current office furniture. But the upgrade is nice going from a very small 1000 square feet to over 2500. Some will say only 2500 square feet well I say have you looked at the prices of homes in Hawaii. Medium price range is 480,000 understand now why I hate bankers.

I hate to say I told you so - #324

I hate to say I told you so - #324 07/20/2004 07:45 PM

Throughout the 90's I got a rep of a screaming maniac - insisting that HTML sucked, dial-up sucked and that what they were calling broadband - was in fact mid-band.

I knew that without at least 5Mbps to the home - we'd never achieve the oft sought after broadband always on revolution.

So now Verizon is offering 5Mbps for $35 - 15Mbps for $45 and well - we plan on offering 30Mbps - but we haven't priced it yet.

So my reaction is a) it won't work - it'll bottleneck at the head-end, b) what's to download? Nobody can feed them data fast enough - but I end with an optimistic c) 'bout fucking time!

I was starting to feel old - but maybe we WILL see true broadband before I hit 50.

Oh yah - god bless Verizon. Is it true that it's Cory Doctorow in those commercials? "Can you hear me now?"

Varargs. Or, these days, stdargs. It's how C lets you define functions that take a variable number of arguments. Why do I hate it? Because, even though you're forced to view the argument list opaquely, there's no argument count! That is, the standard says the variable length argument list lives in a magic va_arg thingie, you must use the Magic Functions to get the individual arguments out, and you must have the magic ... signature to note varargs in the function declaration, but... the standard can't be bothered to mandate that an argument count is passed. This seems utterly mad....

Athens is lovely.  The perfect weather and ancient history enables such activities as last night's open-air concert by the Vienna Philharmonic in a 2000-year-old marble amphitheater underneath the Acropolis.  Everyone speaks English.  When in the company of a local it is very difficult to pay for meals or entertainment.  I asked one of these hospitable locals how come the Greeks are reported to hate the U.S. so much.  His answer:  "It depends on one's party affiliation.  The Left Wing hates the U.S. because of its support for the Right Wing against the Communists 50 years ago."  That's wonderful, I thought.  Only half of these guys hate us!  "Actually, no," he continued, "the Right Wing was sympathetic to the Serbs in Bosnia and Kosovo and after Bill Clinton's bombings in support of the Muslims they hate the U.S. too."

Way back in the day, Mark Hurst bought one of those three piece positional keyboards. After he left the company, I used it. It was ok and I got used to the Dvorak keyboard. I have since tried Dvorak on regular keyboards and I think it makes my wrists worse.

Also, why does an alternate layout kb cost over $200? Same plastic same circuits. Oh well. Maybe I'll create one for myself.

The Mirra Personal Server is finally out. Basically, a hard drive that connects to your home network, the Mirra can be set to automatically backup and synchronize files from all the computers in the house so that if there's a crash, you'll always have your data. It can also be accessed remotely over the Internet if you ever need to get some file while on the road or want to share MP3s or digital photos with friends. We've been playing around with one for the past week or so, and it works as advertised (well, except that the first one they sent was defective). It's been automatically backing up our documents folder, and we were able to upload our MP3 collection and then access it from a web browser. Om Malik has some more details about the Mirra on his blog. Read - Mirra.com Read - GigaOm...
