Mel Gibson
Forgives Us for His Sins.
The vilification of Jews by Mr.
Gibson, his film and some of his allies, unchallenged by his media
enablers, is not happening in a vacuum. We are in the midst of an
escalating election-year culture war in which those of "faith" are
demonizing so-called "secularists" (for which read any Jews critical
of Mr. Gibson and their fellow travelers, liberals). Politicians, we
are learning, seem increasingly eager to wrap themselves in "The
Passion of the Christ" as a handy signal to indicate they are opposed
to all those "secularists" whose conspiracy is undermining all that
right-thinking Americans hold near and dear.Heading South

When we decided to move to Finland one of the agreed upon features
was that each year, budget permitting, we would take a Winter holiday
somewhere the sun makes more of an appearance than glow occasionally
on the horizon on the rare day that it's not cloudy. People always ask
about the cold but the cold isn't the hard part of living in
Scandinavia in the Winter, it's the darkness. November was a really
hard month as the darkness really settles into your
brain.
It's that time of year to go on holiday and I'm looking forward
to reacting like a Sleestack to the evil, unfamiliar daystar and
getting to know the cocktail boy poolside for a luxurious 7 days in
Madeira. I'm going to also enjoy 7 days of internet-free living while
hiking and taking pictures. It may be hard getting on the plane for
the return trip. :)

04/09/2004 04:12 PMNext stop in the Technorati speaking tour: PC Forum.
I'll be presenting the company on Monday afternoon - a real honor
(go to the bottom of the page). We've got some fun new stuff to show off, and I'm
tremendously excited to meet the stellar list of attendees Esther and
Daphne always bring in. The big news this year is that that CNET has
acquired Edventure Holdings, the company that puts on PC Forum - kudos
to Esther, Daphne, Christina, and the team, and my hat goes off to
Shelby and the folks at CNET - smart move! (Full disclosure: Esther
Dyson is an investor in Technorati)
Golf, anyone?
I'll be heading out to Scottsdale this afternoon, so drop me a line
at dsifry at technorati dot com if you
are going to be in Scottsdale and are interested in hooking up for a
late dinner tonight or golf Sunday morning. I'm not a great golfer,
but I'm not a complete duffer - so anyone who enjoys a nice walk on a
big manicured lawn along with some interesting conversation, send an
email or leave a message at my room at the hotel.

12/19/2003 11:56 AMIn a few days I'll begin what's become an annual ritual since I moved
to California almost exactly 4 years ago: going home for the holidays.
Just writing this now, I'm wondering if the day will ever come that I
don't consider Toledo, Ohio to be "home" instead of where I'm
currently living. Do I have to spend more time away than the 25ish
years that I lived there? Or maybe I just need to "settle down and get
married"?...

Q&A with Patti Smith
04/01/2005 12:24 PMXeni Jardin:
Newsweek's Brian Braiker interviews the high priestess of punk, Patti
Smith. She is my idol. I am her biggest fan EVAR, and have been since,
like, age 12. If there is an emoticon for bowing, consider it
inserted. Snip:
What’s your take on the possible closure of
CBGB?
Patti Smith: I have various thoughts on it. I have the Jackie Onassis
spirit of preservation of our historic architecture. One of the things
that has drawn so many people down to the Bowery area—the people
living there and the housing and shops and all of the revitalization
of that area—was CBGB. In those days the Bowery was skid row, there
was nothing there but bums. People just didn’t go there. It wasn’t
real dangerous; it was winos and hobos. They set the big trash cans on
fire at night so they could warm
What does the club mean to you?
I went down there on Easter 1974, [guitarist] Lenny Kaye and I went
there to see [the rock band] Television, and there were about 11
people there. It was like a dream come true, the whole situation. It
was a little bar, there weren’t any grown-ups; you didn’t feel
that the mafia was there. You weren’t forced to drink expensive
stuff you didn’t want. And Television was a revelation. It was for
me a pivotal night of my life, walking into CBGB and seeing
Television. It resonated all the possibilities of our youth, what we
were doing, what we were attempting to do.
What was that?
Our philosophy was that rock and roll should be a cultural voice and
not glamorized. It didn’t belong to the rich and famous; it belonged
to the people. It was the perfect place for us to excite each other
and incite people and develop what we were doing. It’s sad for me to
see CBGB’s close down because it really hasn’t changed at all,
that’s the other beautiful thing. The same murals are up on the
wall. It hasn’t gotten any better. The sound system hasn’t really
gotten much better. The smell hasn’t gotten much better. It’s the
same place. Actually I think Lenny and I are going to play there on
May Day. It’s just a little job. We’re just going to play to thank
CBGB’s, thank the walls, thank the stage. We’re just doing it to
touch those walls again.

Heading Down To The VoIP Store
Heading Down To The VoIP Store
06/22/2004 06:02 AMWant to know just how popular voice-over-internet systems are
becoming? A company that sells VoIP equipment is now
opening the
first ever VoIP retail store in the US. People will be able to go
in and shop for their very own VoIP phone. While it may work as a
promotional gimmick, you have to wonder if this really makes sense.
The average users still doesn't fully understand the difference
between a regular phone and a VoIP phone. Are they really going to
want to go to a separate store to understand what they're looking for
in a VoIP phone? Instead, this seems like it's more suited for a
general purpose electronics or department store where someone might
actually go looking for a phone, and then become intrigued by the VoIP
offerings.

Leap
Pad Learning Systems to women in Afghanistan. While LeapPad is
marketed here as en edutainment system for children, this version was
modified for adults who speak Dari and Pashto but aren't necessarily
able to read. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the systems
will be used to inform the women about healthcare issues like diet,
immunization, pregnancy, and disease prevention in, er, unique ways:
For example, said LeapFrog Chief Executive Officer Tom
Kalinske, reproduction is a culturally and religiously sensitive topic
in the country. The solution: a page of text and a page of pictures
with the analogy of growing carrots. Growing them too close together
produces skinny and not-well- formed carrots that do not look good to
eat, but if you space the carrots, they're plump and appetizing -- the
lesson being it's better to space children rather than having them in
rapid succession.
