It seems that the portalization of Google comes up now and then. I just ran across a this quote on Technosailor: It seems Google is trying to experiment with elements of portal sites like My Yahoo! but still trying to remain in the business of purely search and rejecting the elements of portalhood that it doesn’t like. I’m not so sure you can be on both sides of the fence. Yeah, I'd agree with that. You can't be on the...

I'd like to thank everyone who voted for plasticbag.org at the Bloggies, where I've accidentally picked up Best British or Irish weblog. I'm particularly surprised given given the quality of the other candidates: Going Underground's Blog, A Teenager Blogs, Greenfairy.com and The Big Smoker.

More importantly, I'm genuinely delighted to report that I somehow won the Best Essay Bloggie as well for (Weblogs and) The Mass Amateurisation of (Nearly) Everything. If anything I think that one is the more important to me because I spent a long-time writing that piece and thinking around it and I think it's one of the best things I've written. I'd love it if more people read it and responded. So thanks again to everyone involved!

The big winner of the night was Boing Boing, who took home the Best American Weblog, Best Group Weblog and Weblog of the Year. I'm kind of surprised - given Cory's alleged nationality - that they didn't win Best Canadian Weblog too! Lifetime achievement rightly went to Heather Champ, whose creative output online has been astonishing for as long as I can remember. Well done!

The March 15 issue of Library Journal is out, and it includes the Movers & Shakers 2003 supplement. I'm honored to say that I received a most fine write-up and am listed as a "Teacher." I like that because both of my parents are educators, so I feel like I'm holding up the family tradition.

In addition, lots of other shifted librarians are highlighted, including Carr ie Bickner, Andr ew Mutch, and Char les W. Bailey, as well as Caro l Gulyas, with whom I have the good fortune to be working on the Illinois reference portal! Congratulations to everyone listed and thanks LJ!

Back in February, a US officer passed on photos of the Academy's opening. "We had kids walk into the Academy with nothing but the clothes they were wearing and open sandals, (no socks).

Academy Piracy Case Solved


Academy Piracy Case Solved 01/25/2004 10:32 AM

FBI makes arrest in Oscar screener piracy: Kind of a sad story here. A "friend" of an elderly Academy member convinced him to send him the screeners he got every year. The videos were promptly pirated.

Carmine Caridi admitted in an affidavit released Thursday that he sent every so-called "screener" videotape he's received for the past three years to an acquaintance in the Chicago area, Russell W. Sprague.

Sprague, 51, was arrested at his home in Homewood, Ill., on Thursday after a search of his home turned up hundreds of films, many of which had been converted to DVD format and had the Academy's encryption code erased, along with an array of duplicating equipment, authorities said.

One thing we learned is that the Academy's tracing technology works. They tracked this all back to the source via a digital watermark on the movies which indicated who they had been sent to.

Microsoft Office 2003 offers self

Microsoft Office 2003 offers self
destructing documents
10/29/2003 01:16 AM
According to an article in NewScientist.com: Office 2003 features new versions of Word, Outlook, Excel and PowerPoint, along with various usability tweaks and new functionality. But the software also comes with the ability to let users control the way other people use the documents they create. This can be used to prevent other people forwarding, copying or even printing a protected email message or document. "It should work," says Simson Garfinkel, a computer forensics expert at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). '"But it could be defeated by a hostile user. There's no way you could prevent someone from taking a digital picture of the screen." ... The rights control feature in Office 2003 depends on having an intermediary computer system with Windows Server 2003 and a software package called Rights Management Service installed. A protected email message sent between two users is encrypted and the recipient's version of Outlook will check with the server to see if the user is allowed to edit, copy or forward the message. A time-stamp can also be applied to make the message unreadable after a certain date. While I suspect that people will quickly figure out how to break this first generation DRM with the equivalent of a magic marker or using the shift key, and of course the expired documents will still be on the (Windows) server, this is probably a pretty good indicator of where governments and corporations are headed, and Microsoft has a history of successfully iterating products. While others debate DRM, Microsoft is creating facts on the ground. Not an encouraging development....
