Back on the Slopes







Back on the Slopes

Back on the Slopes 03/13/2003 10:16 AM

In high school, I loved to ski. But for the past 8 or 9 years, I've stayed away from the mountains, thanks to procrastination and cold toes. Last Sunday, I tossed my skis in the car and drove 20 minutes to the local mountain.

Time To Back Up Your Back Ups


Time To Back Up Your Back Ups 09/01/2004 06:24 AM
Wasn't Jack Valenti just telling us that DVDs last forever? Maybe not. As many people are now learning, digital media has a pretty rapid decay rate. The latest to discover this was a reporter who, five years ago or so, had fallen for that old (har har) "paperless office" gag that has been pulled before. He bought a CD-RW and scanned in all sorts of stuff (including photos and old articles he'd written) -- and then made the fatal mistake: he tossed out the original copies. Glad to have the filing space back, he proceeded to shove the CDs on a shelf somewhere and forget about them for years... until now. Partly out of curiosity, he pulled out these backup CDs, put them in his CD drive and discovered the wonders of Windows error messages. He begins to wonder (uh oh) what will this mean for all the CDs and DVDs he's been paying good money for over the years. It would be nice if he could back them all up, perhaps multiple times to various different storage media, but the entertainment industry isn't real keen on that idea, seeing as they're actively stompin g out those who try to help you save your own digital files.

Ed's Back! Ed Broadbent was the most successful leader in the history of Canada's New Democratic Party, leading the NDP to win 43 seats in the 1988 federal election. Now Ed's back, and he's running for under new leader Jack Layton -- with video! (.rm, .mov, .wmv formats) Canadian hip-hop will never be the same. Is this the future of Canadian politics?

"Back-to-Iraq" bl0gger is back in Iraq


"Back-to-Iraq" bl0gger is back in Iraq 05/20/2004 05:43 PM
Clive sez: "Chris Allbritton has begun blogging from Iraq. He's the writer who raised $13,000 last year from his blog readers to fund an indie-reporting trip to Iraq during the war. His readers have asked him to go back, and he raised another $11,000 in the last few months. He just arrived in Baghdad, and has begun writing more of his excellent stuff -- slices of everyday life in one of the most fraught places on earth. The first post describes the crazily harrowing landing you have to endure when you fly into Baghdad, as the plane corkscrews down to avoid shoulder-mounted missiles:"
After a normal flight, we went into a tight, corkscrew dive that sent your stomach up into your throat — and in the case of two passengers, out their mouths and into their laps. It’s a vomit-comet experience. But if you like roller coasters in a sealed container where you can’t really see anything, it’s a lot of fun. Just don’t think about the very real threat of shoulder-mounted SAMs.

Can I have my name back - now?


Can I have my name back - now? 04/18/2005 02:53 PM

The greetings and salutations have been pouring in this morning.

DING DONG - the WITCH IS DEAD!

The 17 year nightmare is over.

The rape and pillage is finally complete.

Now what?

Will the new Adobe grok the new paradigm of tools?

Will Rob Burgess ever be able to set foot in Silicon Valley again? Isn't his reign ending on a down note? Kind of pathetic - no? Lost opportunity, drop the ball - all that?

And what of Norm Meyrowitz or David Mendels? Who cares?

I bet Kevin Lynch has a job - he's pretty smart - but the rest of them - lord knows they an teach a class in how NOT to run a software company.

Maybe Mr. Chizen (who once called Acrobat the 'roach motel of standards') - will get a clue.

Either way - I'd sure like the name back.

And I'd take the Director product line off their hands - if they'd like me to. They more or less have abandoned it. In fact they should pay US to do that.

The name Macromedia started as the name of our new 'compound document' architecture we were working on. But they cancelled the project, got rid of most of our programmers and kept the name. Here's the Macromedia story - from their POV.

Anyone remember the dualing patent lawsuits fight? Well I got to testify AGAINST Macromedia - helping out Adobe. I wonder if John Warnock remembers that.

What are the odds that something will now happen - bare to midlin? But I'd be honored to return - to help out my former company.

The previous caretakers were slimeballs - but Adobe has always had a cooler panache. Either way - they had better get ready for some change - cause who designs software to be sold in a box nowadays?

Who designs software that's single user or that doesn't have a built-in community?

Who designs software that's based upon 'patent' protection or which doesn't have an on-line component to it?

Like I said - I'd be honored to help Adobe out - but they'd have to go open source. I've grown at least over the years. But have they?

Back from the RNC


Back from the RNC 09/08/2004 11:59 PM

Back from the RNC, and I sure am glad to be back on the west coast. It was great to see some old friends (and make some new ones) while out in NYC, getting the new Politics site a workout was exciting, and working with CNN was a joy - those folks are real pros, but it is great to be back at home.

There were lots of bloggers over in the blogger's alley that the RNC provided in the Felt Forum outside of the main convention hall. Here's a picture of some of the bloggers at the alley interviewing Ari Fleisher, former Press Secretary for the current administration. Click on the picture to see a larger version.
