Eric Alterman on Abu Ghraib and the media. Alterman: And how pathetic is it that the only cable network really grappling with the media's failure is Comedy Central? Let's give the last word to the Daily Show's incomparable Stephen Colbert: "The journalists I know love America, but now all anybody wants to talk about is the bad journalists--the journalists that hurt America.... Who didn't uncover the flaws in our prewar intelligence? Who gave a free pass on the Saddam-Al Qaeda connection? Who dropped Afghanistan from the headlines at the first whiff of this Iraqi snipe hunt? The United States press corps, that's who."

Wake Me Up When It's Over

Wake Me Up When It's Over 06/17/2004 12:33 AM
Supernova is, as expected, coming together nicely.  Of course, nice is a relative word.  There are always multiple fire drills in the weeks prior to an event, which I've been completely focused on recently.  The good news is that registrations are going great, and we've got some fantastic sessions in store for the event.

If you're in the Bay Area, please consider joining us next week (June 24-25) for what promises to be an extroardinary gathering of innovators, thinkers, implementers, investors, and other thought leaders of the technology world. 

Check out our Community Connection for the conference weblog, wiki, and other interactive tools.  Supernova always generates a virtual event in parallel with the physical conference; this year, we've kicked the cyber-component up a notch. 

And don't forget to sign up for Joi's Pre-Conference Dinner on Wednesday June 23.  It's open to anyone who RSVPs,whether you're attending Supernova or not.

Eric Meyer on CSS

Eric Meyer on CSS 06/27/2004 10:06 AM

I read this book on the plane to and from Chicago. Eric Meyer is apparently a CSS God, although I hadn't heard about him before this book came out.

In the end, the book wasn't for me. If you're a CSS hacker of some repute, you're probably not going to get a lot out of this book. But if you've just started CSS and want to become such a hacker, this one is right up your alley.

The book is divided into "projects." In the beginning of each chapter, Meyer states what you're going to try and do, then walks you though every line of CSS to get there, explaining what you're doing along the way.

The idea is that you'll download the project files from the companion Web site, and follow along — changing the CSS as he writes, then refreshing your pages. This is a fantastic way to do it, and is perfect for the beginner who wants to see exactly what their changes produce.

Sadly, however, I was on a airplane at the time, which doesn't lend itself well to coding, and rather than completing long-winded projects, I was really looking for some wicked tips and theories to earn myself entrance to CSS Nirvana.

I did learn a few things. The chapter on fixed background positioning was good, as was the last chapter in the book, where he tries to take the layout of the book, and convert it into CSS for equivalent display on the Web. The best bits for me, it turned out, where the little sidenotes in the margins.

Don't get me wrong, this is a good book. I was just the wrong audience. He has another one — More Eric Meyer on CSS. Perhaps I'll try that one.

ERIC Database
http://www.eric.ed.gov/

The Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), sponsored by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of the U.S. Department of Education, produces the world’s premier database of journal and non-journal education literature. The new ERIC online system, released September 2004, provides the public with a centralized ERIC Web site for searching the ERIC bibliographic database of more than 1.1 million citations going back to 1966. Effective October 1, more than 107,000 full-text non-journal documents (issued 1993-2004), previously available through fee-based services only, will be available for free. This has been added to Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog. This will also be added to Academic Resources 2004-05 Internet MiniGuide and Education and Distance Learning Resources 2004-05 Internet MiniGuide.

Joel on Eric

Joel on Eric 12/15/2003 09:11 PM

Joel Spolsky's latest essay reviews Eric Raymond's The Art of Unix Programming (a book I really want to pick up) and uses it as background for a discussion of the cultural differences between Windows and Unix programmers. As always, it's an insightful piece.

Joel's key point is that while Unix programmers write code for other programmers, Windows programmers write code for end users. Unix programs end up being far more powerful and flexible, but Windows programs allow Aunt Madge to send email. Joel places the blame for the lack of success of Linux as a desktop operating systems on the cultural values that underpin it, which celebrate the diversity of multiple window managers rather than condeming them for confusing end users.

It's all good stuff. I'd argue that the rise of web-based applications balances the playing field somewhat in terms of ease of use of the different platforms - most people can handle a web application now (look at the success of webmail) and most browser behave in pretty much the same way no matter what operating system they run on. I guess that's why Microsoft were so scared of Netscape back in 1996.

Eric goes stati

Stat!.

Right. Apparently as I get more and more tired, the entry titles suck more and more.

Anyways, lately I've been involved in more than a few discussions where knowing about the composition of the "FOAF-sphere" (god, I must be tired) would be useful.

Specifically, right now there exist a lot of different kinds of FOAF in the world. Some mal-formed, some using old vocab items, some piping hot and fresh from active developers and systems. Being able to say what percentages exist would be really really nice.

So, I've dragged out the scutter code, and currently the "SemanticWebStatsBot" is crawling around the FOAF web. It's as polite as I'm getting for off-the-cuff code, namely it only does one request per second. It kinda pays attention to HTTP codes, but not really. iono quite what to do about Livejournal just yet, probably mull that one over in my sleep at some point.

Currently, I'm trying to answer the following "starter set" of questions:

• # of files (banal, not very useful, but likely to be a nice big spooky number)
• %age of files that are valid RDF
• %age of files that follow the OWL rules for the various vocabs (FOAF, REL, WOT, TRUST)
• "verbosity" of FOAF files (aka how many terms are used, both with FOAF vocab items and others)
• # of files that exist which have a "minimal useful FOAF personal document" set of vocab items
• # of files with a Document/maker combo (adoption rates)
• # of files with a PersonalProfileDocument/maker combo (adoption rates)
• # of files with depreciated or "made up" terms in the FOAF vocabspace
• Tallies of the usage of current terms (aka X many people use foaf:name, Y many people use foaf:nick, etc)
• %age usage of WoT and Trust vocabularies
• If possible, try to figure out generator information (admin vocab? scutter vocab?)

If the data looks interesting coming out of this, and it isn't too difficult to maintain (see: LiveJournal), I'm thinking I might just do this as a monthly compendium. Sort of a "State of the FOAF" if you will. So, the question is: If you had a monthly peek at the "Semantic Web" (or at least a fairly broad subset of the publicly available part of it), what kind of questions would you want answered?[esigler.2nw.net]

Bush's talk on moonbase and manned mission to Mars is just what a dopehead might say dreamily while blowing smokes.  The total bill is likely to reach 1 trillion dollars.  Where is the money?  There is no money and, even if there was, NASA is not going to see much of it.  Instead, NASA will be asked to sacrifice its other programs to chase this pair of smoke rings.  Meanwhile, our children will be forced to cast aside the growing burden of social security, leaving us old and poor.  Bush opened this can of hoopla because he is afraid of ending up like his father in the upcoming election.  Wake up I say.
