Lust for Hats

Lust for Hats 04/09/2004 04:12 PM

My eyewear fetish is something I've always thought of as a compensatory tactic for my inability to have the more traditional shoe fetish due to my titanic 10-10 1/2[US] feet which could never look dainty no matter how stylish the footwear. My secret fetish is hats. I adore hats, but aside from the more practical winter coverings for my cranium I usually look, but don't buy. I always envied the Queen Mum for her abiility to wear the ugliest of hats without the slightest sign of self-consciousness. All those awful hats with matching ensembles paired with the royal smile and wave saying, "Fuck all the little people, I love my hat! I am a sexy beast!" I would have paid good money to see her wear a fuzzy, fringed pimpdaddy hat with gold capped teeth. I wonder what family did with all those hats she left behind and didn't get buried wearing.

This Easter peep hat [Hope Hat, Uudenmankatu] caught my eye and I had to stare at it for a brief while with lust. My usual internal dialogue is, "Would I wear that hat? Yes. Would I wear that hat outside the house? Hmmm....no." It's always the same unless the hat is black and doesn't attract attention. I used to wear a black bowler, but I got way too many smartass jerks asking me if it was Clockwork Orange day. Clearly they were uncivilised cretins who hadn't ever seen Emma Peel in The Avengers. But hats like this make me wish I had what the Queen Mum had in the hat hutzpah department. Of course, with a 7 3/4 hat size, the cute Easter peep hat wouldn't likely fit me any more than a cute pair of fashionable shoes would fit my Cunard sized feet, but we always desire most that which we cannot have or look good in...don't we?

And, for anyone who has ever enjoyed the marshmallowy goodness that are marshmallow peeps, it's Peeps Week time again with Dr. Fun. :)

What happened was, we’re getting close to done on Atom, so we tried to close down our last fifteen issues. The good news is that the debate has been deep and intense but (almost all) polite and grown-up. Today, a Sunday forsooth, we had over 120 messages to the mailing list. The bad news is that the last call jarred loose a few new issues, as last calls will, but we’re still very close. The working group is doing great, I love ’em.

Just Nuisance, Able Seaman. The only canine enlisted in the Royal Navy, Just Nuisance served from 1939 to 1944 in Simon's Town, South Africa (on his papers his occupation was listed as 'Bone Crusher' and his religion 'Canine Divinity League [Anti-Vivisection]'). Providing a great source of morale to sailors stationed there he would escort them on train trips and make sure they made it back to base after a night on the town. Of course being a sailor himself he was privy to a few brushes with the law as well by traveling on the railways without a pass (punishment: Confined to the banks of Froggy Pond, Lily Pool, with all lamp posts removed) or sleeping on an Officer's bed (punishment: Deprived of bones for seven days.). Married, and survived by five children, on his death he was afforded a funeral with full military colours. You can read his biography (which spawned a television series), or merely pay respects at his stat ue next time you're in Simon's Town.

Hats Off! A Salute to African Headwear. 'Many African cultures throughout the continent have long considered the head the center of one's being--a source of individual and collective identity, power, intelligence and ability. Adorning the head as part of everyday attire or as a statement, therefore, is especially significant. '

Speaking of Google, Evan blogged from the SBC Park last tuesday and took this picture.

I think it's neat that WiFi is available at the park and geeks tend to posse with other geeks, but the picture made me shake my head.  Four laptops in a row, including the one Evan probably had in front of him while he took the picture, at a baseball park?

Hmm.  Maybe this was sort of a work thing.  A WiFi-enabled stadium is a perfect place for flash P2P grid computing after all.  Who needs expensive office spaces when your team can work at round-the-clock movie theathers and holding meetings at the lobby?  When WiFi access at campsites become widely available, maybe we'll see startups working out of tents and RVs.

The curse of anonymity

The curse of anonymity 09/05/2004 12:52 AM

As much as I love the web and am incredibly thankful for the opportunities it has provided for me, days like today make me loathe its anonymity. The day started off with a nasty bout of comment spam, followed at midday by dealing with someone posting FeedDemon serial numbers (since disabled) to a warez site, then ended with a bizarre series of threats from a disgruntled Dreamweaver user. Before I continue, take a look at this Google Groups search for some background information.

As you can see, someone has made several posts to various Macromedia newsgroups claiming that TopStyle has hijacked Dreamweaver. His complaint is that every time he tries to open a CSS file in Dreamweaver, it opens in TopStyle instead. And since he installed the trial version of TopStyle, it's asking him to register it. Now, the reason TopStyle keeps being opened is actually due to a bug in Dreamweaver. Every time you start Dreamweaver, it automatically detects TopStyle and sets it as the default CSS editor - even if you've removed it from the "File Types / Editors" list in Dreamweaver's preferences. So matter what you do, if you have TopStyle installed, Dreamweaver uses it as the external CSS editor.

Here's the kicker: this same person has emailed me several times and threatened to start a class action lawsuit against my company unless I pay him $1,000.00 by September 9. Here's a quote:

"I have an attorney on the staff of my company and we are going to be moving aggressively against companies using unscrupulous marketing practices such as yours. The time we lost today cost us about $1,000. That is the amount that will make us go away. Otherwise we are going to seek a class action lawsuit against you. We will start by finding others who have been damaged by your practices. This will be done with a Google Adwords ad that comes up each time someone enters topstyle or bradsoft into Google. Send the check for $1,000 to: [address removed]"

Now, obviously this guy has a loose wire, and his threat is laughable - if he ever tried to file suit, he would be in hot water for extortion. But being a one-man-show, it's incredibly hard for me to spend time dealing with people like this - yet I have to, because their posts to public newsgroups show up in Google searches for my software.

Does anyone else have to deal with this kind of garbage, and if so, how do you handle it?

Cheney disclosed. Rolling Stone's profile of our ambitious vice-president and the team he assembled to keep himself in power: "'They were like cancer cells,' says retired Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, who worked on the Defense Department's Near East and South Asia desk during the buildup to the Iraq war. 'They didn't care about the truth. They had an agenda. I'd never seen anything like it. They deformed everything.'" [Did you know that "dancing revolution" blogeur John Barlow was a former Cheney campaign worker? I sure didn't.]

Robot Work Force: A Blessing or a Curse?

Robot Work Force: A Blessing or a Curse? 10/30/2003 11:57 PM
Marshall Brain is stirring up more controversy. Roland Piquepaille notes in his blog that while Brain's last article "Robotic Nation" warned that robots could displace the human workforce causing massive unemployment, now he has done a 180 and is promoting the idea as a Utopian ideal he calls "Robotic Freedom". Imagine a world in which robots do all the work and humans are all on permanent vacation (government welfare). Everyone will become a creative artist and be happy, right? Marshall is a little late in stumbling onto these ideas. Science Fiction readers have been pondering this sort of thing for half a century. And if anyone, including Brain, actually believes "Robotic Freedom" is a good idea, they should read Jack Williamson's 1947 story, With Folded Hands and be very, very afraid. "To serve and obey and guard men from harm..."
