On being in California...

On being in California... 03/14/2005 05:52 PM

I'm on the train between Los Angeles and San Diego listening to Orbital and overwhelmed by how alien and beautiful the industrial landscape outside my window is. I'm travelling backwards all the way which probably means something. There are lots full of identical vehicles. One lot full of blue tanker trucks. Another full of white articulated lorry fronts. Lined up and perfect. There are buildings with connected trailers and bays numbered one to eight-eight. Train tracks curl around them. Piles of rusting metal sit under repeating arches. Large open machines turn into buildings with little evidence of where one ends and the other begins. Everything's punctuated by massive pylons and palm trees. There's graffiti everywhere, and it doesn't look fake like it does all over London. It looks like it was born here.

It's probably my clumsy sleep patterns that make everything here seem hallucinogenically orchestrated. It all seems to be begging for a soundtrack. The whole city feels like Koyaanisqatsi from the train.

My seat on the train has a power socket by it, which I find strange but useful. The man in the onboard café car apologised for having to stow everything away and made a joke about bean counters. I've met a man from two television series and found that a friend's friend lives off internet poker. Words in roads and signs: peerless, thermo, blister, motor, rivera, pioneer, mason, cord. Everything's either made of wood, metal, concrete or meat. Colours come in stripes - pink/brown, white, grey, white, pink-brown, green, yellow, dust.

One other thing I've noticed here is how strange the quality of light is. It's about as grey and overcast here as it ever is in London, but there's still something different about it. More apocalyptic. Possibly it's because everything is designed to be seen in the bright sunshine - the primal colours of signs and adverts look like they're clashing with the world. And the buildings - designed to contrast with the blues and whites of the normal sky - blend into it now. It's like the natural order of the world is upside down. The smog is interesting too - American television often looks blurrier than Englih television. I think traditionally the resolution wasn't as good. Still there's something weirdly true about thinking of this place as lacking resolution. I think the smog in the air makes everything look less defined. A clear bright day in London in the spring makes everything seem so real. Here it makes it feel cartoonishly beautiful. Fascinating that light quality could have such an effect. I still remember the peculiar emotional charge that everything had in Helsinki in spring a few years back - the richness of the yellows and oranges - the sense that this light had something added to it that was more fundamental than the shallow shimmers we suffered with in England.

I'm meeting up with Biddulph and Hammond in Oceanside in a couple of hours. More later...

California vs. Google

California vs. Google 04/14/2004 11:59 AM
A (being charitable) confused California Senator has proposed a bill to outlaw Gmail because of the ads it includes in email. "We think it's an absolute invasion of privacy. It's like having a massive billboard in the middle of your home," she says. Even if she was correct, which I don't think she is, why is a law necessary? If Gmail is so clearly annoying, won't people who don't like the ads simply not use it? What purpose would such a law serve except to take Gmail away from those who thought the ads were an acceptable cost for the service? Derek Powazek has responded with a letter from his Gmail account asking for an apology. (Thanks, Chris!)...

California Says No More Diebold

California Says No More Diebold 04/22/2004 08:00 PM
Following story after story after story of questionable actions by Diebold with their electronic voting machines, culminating in the news that they knew they were breaking the law by using uncertified software in their machines during last month's primaries, a commission has recommended that California decertify all Diebold voting machines. Secretary of State Kevin Shelley has until the end of next week to make a decision on whether or not to follow the recommendation, and so far he's shown a good understanding of the issues involved (he is the one who said all e-voting machines should have a paper trail). Diebold's response is typical. Instead of admitting that they screwed up repeatedly in very damaging ways, they claim that being decertified "doesn't solve the problems" - suggesting that it's not their fault that they didn't solve their own problems and went ahead with illegally using software that hadn't been certified.

Scoble is organizing a Geek Camp in the Washington area.  Sounds great to me except there is no way I am going to drive from the Bay to Seattle to camp out.  Not without a super-deluxe RV.

I am up for a California Geek Camp though, hopefully somewhere in the northern half of the state where there is hot shower and restroom that won't freak out my wife.  I am addicted to hot shower before campfire and camping pigout plus disgusting restroom paints a grim picture.  But I think it's too late to get large enough camping spots though.

Diebold May Be Banned From California

Diebold May Be Banned From California 12/17/2003 01:13 PM
It's looking like some of Diebold's choices may be coming back to haunt them a bit. While they've been loudly unapologetic for security holes that were found in their offerings (and quick to pull the legal trigger on anyone who pointed them out), perhaps they should have spent a little more time "doing the right thing" rather than "covering up the wrong thing." The latest news is that California may ban Diebold from selling voting machines in the state, after investigating the claims that some of their machines were using software that had not been certified. Meanwhile, Fortune magazine has voted paperless electronic voting as the worst technology of 2003.

California Government CSS Design

California Government CSS Design 12/30/2003 12:00 AM

CalGrants.org, a site that I’ve been working on for the last couple of months has finally launched after many rounds of revisions and copy edits. The site was built in conjunction with design firm THOMAS|ferrous and PR firm Runyon Saltzman & Einhorn. As far as I know, this is the first California state government site that is designed with entirely CSS layout techniques.

The site features an accessible design that allows screen readers, PDAs, and non-graphic browsers to have full access to the content while providing a rich graphic experience to others. All text is resizable and the layout flows to accommodate the size changes.

The headings use a replacement technique that swaps out text headings for graphics in browsers that support it. All non-content images are pulled in through CSS, getting design elements out of the HTML entirely. Since pages of the site are intended to be printed, a print stylesheet was crafted to ensure a quality printed page.

Here’s proof that a CSS site doesn’t need to be the boxy, minimalist designs that are often shown as examples.

E-Voting Challenge in California

E-Voting Challenge in California 05/01/2004 11:51 AM

Mercury News: State curbs use of e-vote. California Secretary of State Kevin Shelley on Friday banned the use of touch-screen voting machines in the November election unless they meet stringent security measures. He barred outright the use of a new Diebold electronic voting system in Kern, San Diego, San Joaquin and Solano counties. Ten other counties -- including Santa Clara and Alameda -- will only be permitted to use touch-screen voting if they provide a paper receipt for digital ballots cast or meet 23 security conditions, including disconnecting the machines from phone lines and the Internet.

This is amazingly good news, and shows that Shelley has been, in effect, radicalized by the outrageous behavior of the voting-machine industry. The companies selling their balloting snake oil went too far, and now they're going to have to do the right thing. Most notably in Shelley's announcement yesterday, he said he'd referred the case of the notorious Diebold Election Systems to the attorney general for possible criminal, not just civil, prosecution. The record is already clear that Diebold has -- at absolute best -- been irresponsible and has dissembled about what it's been doing in California (and who knows how many other states). Had Diebold not been so over the top, Shelley might have allowed the 2004 election to proceed as planned even in counties using non-Diebold machines. The requirement for a voter-verifiable paper trail had not been scheduled to take effect for two more years. Now, faced with an industry that insists on pretending all is well when all is blatantly not well, he's doing the right thing early. The paper trail will now have to work this year, or the machines won't be allowed. Predictably, local voting officials -- the same people who've been so negligent in adopting an unproven, maybe dangerous technology -- are screaming about the unfairness of it all. They're partly responsible for this fiasco. They should stop complaining and get to work. We're only talking about the core of our republic here.

California, the immigrant's paradise

California, the immigrant's paradise 04/09/2004 04:11 PM

The tour of the Salk Institute yesterday reminded me of what a land of opportunity California has been for immigrants.  Jonas Salk was the son of Russian-Jewish immigrants (bio) and obtained enough funding from the March of Dimes to develop the polio vaccine (perfected in the mid 1950s; our tour guide said that the disease was due to be eradicated from the world by now but Muslims in places such as Pakistan and Afghanistan are refusing to take the vaccine because they believe it causes sterility).  By 1960 Salk had obtained $20 million to build the Salk Institute and hired Louis Kahn (bio), who'd emigrated to the U.S. at the age of 5.

It seems that nearly every corner of California has been a place where an immigrant's dream has come true.
