Interesting reading

Interesting reading 04/04/2005 06:48 PM

## Peter Drucker looks at the big picture of the world economy today -- really four economies, he says: information, money, multinationals and mercantile exchange.

For thirty years after World War II, the U.S. economy dominated practically without serious competition. For another twenty years it was clearly the world's foremost economy and especially the undisputed leader in technology and innovation. Though the United States today still dominates the world economy of information, it is only one major player in the three other world economies of money, multinationals and trade. And it is facing rivals that, either singly or in combination, could conceivably make America Number Two.

## Cy nthia Ozick reviews Joseph Lelyveld's memoir. I haven't read the book, but the former N.Y. Times editor apparently did a vast amount of legwork researching his own childhood. This is Ozick's discussion of the limitations of Lelyveld's approach:

...There is no all-pervading Proustian madeleine in Lelyveld's workaday prose. Yet salted through this short work is the smarting of an unpretentious lamentation: ''If this were a novel,'' ''If I were using these events in a novel,'' and so on. Flickeringly, the writer appears to see what is missing; and what is missing is the intuitive, the metaphoric, the uncertain, the introspective with its untethered vagaries: in brief, the not-nailed-down. Consequently Lelyveld's memory loop becomes a memory hole, through which everything that is not factually retrievable escapes. Memory, at bottom, is an act of imaginative re-creation, not of archival legwork. ''Yes, I was finding, it was possible to do a reporting job on your childhood,'' Lelyveld insists. Yes? Perhaps no. The memoirist has this in common with the novelist: he is like the watchful spider alert to every quiver on its lines. Sensation, not research.

Well put. I think one of the reasons I chose, as a young writer, a career as a critic rather than as a reporter was that I could not see devoting my life to writing that was all "nailed-down." Reporting is a necessary and valuable skill, and I have deep respect for those who do it well; it's hard, hard work, too. But it will typically miss that dimension of "the intuitive, the metaphoric, the uncertain, the introspective." In American journalism as it is conventionally defined by those who carve out the job descriptions, a critic's portfolio is broader, and it's possible, under the right alignment of stars, to feel as well as to record -- or rather, to record what one has felt along with what one has witnessed.

## Apparently there's a movement afoot in the world of writing about games to be less "nailed-down." It's called the "New Games Journalism" -- "a narrative, experiential approach that acknowledges the effect of the game on the player." I'll need to read up. This was sort of what I had in mind 15 years ago when I began to move my attention from the world of theater to the digital realm, and thought, hey, why not try writing more ambitious reviews of videogames? I'd just turned 30, though, and was already feeling that the gaming world was one I would be less and less able to keep up with as the decades advanced. (So right!) So I wrote one opus -- an "experiential" discourse on the world of Super Mario -- and moved on to broader terrain.

San Francisco’s Terra Infirma and other Interesting Things of the Day. Putting the muse back in museum was another that struck me with its focus on unconventionally-themed museums, reminiscent of the roadside attractions in Gaiman's American Gods. Audio feeds of recent articles are available, and well read, but it seems that most of the clips are intended to become available by subscription-only. Regardless, many of the past year's articles make for fascinating reads. (via bsag)

So many interesting facts to know and

The amazing interstingness of miscellany, specifically Schott's Food and Drink Miscellany has provided me with several hours of pre-sleep delight as I've perused its pages in bed. Last night I discovered that both the loganberry and the boysenberry are not in fact wild berries, but derivatives of raspberries! Beneath the heading, "Epicurean Eponyms," Mr. Schott explains: LOGANBERRY · the sweet purple berry of the raspberry plant Rubus loganobaccus · created by the American judge and experimental horticulturalist James Harvey Logan, who developed the plant (c.1881). Some forty years later the botanist Rudolph Boysen created the hybrid BOYSENBERRY from the loganberry, the raspberry, and the blackberry. No wonder I've never seen a loganberry bush in the wild! I'm loving this little book and all its wonders. Highly recommended for any foodie or food-curious person.

'This is one of the only public domain sources of information on the religious beliefs of the Yezidi, a small group originally from the northern region of Iraq. Although they speak Kurdish, they are a distinct population from the Kurds. The Yezidi are notable because they have been described as devil-worshippers, which has naturally led to constant persecution by the dominant Islamic culture of the region ... They have many unique beliefs, such as that the first Yezidi were created by Adam by parthenogenesis separately from Eve ... ' New on sacred-texts.com.

Bad Name, Interesting Product

Bad Name, Interesting Product 11/17/2003 03:02 PM
The Washington Post doesn't begin to describe what Koolspan, the company with the bad name, does: But I spoke with Koolspan's vice president of marketing at a conference a few weeks ago and got the scoop. Koolspan is marketing a smart card solution that authenticates users and encrypts data over Wi-Fi networks. The solution is designed for small to medium sized businesses that don't already have a RADIUS server for authentication. Customers must load software onto their APs which allows the APs to recognize user keys and authenticate the users. End users have a smart card that plugs into the USB port of their computer. The card encrypts the data sent from the laptop. The data is decrypted by an appliance that sits in the enterprise network, where the data is sent onward. The card supports 802.1X and performs AES encryption. The nice thing about smart cards is that they essentially authenticate the user. A user inputs a password to release the keys on the smart card. That means that it's virtually impossible for two people to log on as the same user at the same time. Gemplus, a maker of smart cards (or subscriber identity modules, SIM cards) for GSM networks, is also making a solution aimed at securing Wi-Fi networks. Smart card solutions have a better chance of taking off in Europe where all cell phones already use SIM cards but it's a secure solution that's worth looking at in the U.S....

"If you do a lot of tracking, you may want to write the information to a Berkeley DB. Contrary to the name Berkeley DB is not a database but a hash, or there is an option for b-tree format. MySQL can use Berkeley DB for the underlying table structure. It's very fast, and you won't get logs of your logs. If you're using Linux, Berkeley DB is already installed on your system. Ok, so how does one use Berkeley DB? Samples can be found at the following link. Look for berkeley

Morgan's Second Law: To a first approximation all appointments are canceled.

Brand's Pace Law: In haste, mistakes cascade. With deliberation, mistakes instruct.

Sterling's Corollary to Clarke's Law: Any sufficiently advanced garbage is indistinguishable from magic.

Some interesting Blog statistics 05/24/2004 07:44 AM

How many people are starting blogs each day? That is a question that the staff at Technorati answered at their first ever developers Salon. The numbers are quite shocking.

- 3,000 a day in January 2003
- 4,000 a day by that March
- 6,000 a day by June 2003
- 8,000-9,000 new blogs a day by September 2003
- 10,000 at the end of 2003
- 11,000 to 12,000 new blogs a day today

Along with those amazing numbers are some others. Very interesting stats to say the least. [New Media Musings]

Interesting Take on Voice Over WLAN

Interesting Take on Voice Over WLAN 02/19/2004 12:43 PM
Radioframe is touting its indoor GSM system as better than voice over WLAN: Radioframe sells a platform that extends cellular coverage inside an office building and connects to the office PBX so companies can use their cell phones inside the building. When users are in the building, minutes are cheaper than outside on the wide area cell network. The company's CEO argues that even though usage of the WLAN in the building doesn't cost, the handsets are so much more expensive than cell phones that it makes more sense to use a system like Radioframe's. I did a story a while back on voice over WLAN and found that the handsets cost around the same as standard wired office phones. So the difference could come down to a decision about whether a cell phone offers the same features and functionalities that workers typically want on their phones in the office. Plus, the Radioframe CEO didn't discuss how the costs of deploying and maintaining its network compares to deploying and maintaining a standard WLAN....
