Let Us Swim Upstream
07/15/2004 02:00 PMNow that we're at the point of talking about how people
are
living a broadband life, isn't it about time we addressed the
question of why all that bandwidth is focused downward? The internet
is a communications medium, not a broadcast medium, and for people to
really adopt broadband and all it can do, it's time that the broadband
companies realized that
people want upstream bandwidth as well. Notice that two of the
only things that have been mentioned as "killer apps" for broadband,
file sharing and VoIP, both involve upstream bandwidth as well as
downstream. Yet, we're still in an asymmetric bandwidth world.

“One of the cultural icons of nanotechnology is the image of

Everyone knows the image is about as closely related to real-life

Although it won't
do you much good once you get under enough water to soak up all the
radio waves, the Aqua FM Swim Snorkel will let you surface surfers
listen to FM radio while you float, making it easier to ignore God's
beautiful undersea creation. Even better, the Aqua FM snorkel uses no
earphones, and instead uses bone conduction to pass the audio signal
through your teeth right into your dome. And if you want to test the
range of FM underwater, feel free; the radio snorkel is waterproof to
33 feet.

Juhannus by the Lake
07/06/2004 06:46 AM
« Sunset on Lake Saimaa on Juhannus and other photos from
Juhannus. »
Juhannus was spent along the shores of Lake Saimaa this year with
Mari's fabulous family and I fully understand now why most Finns
either have a mökki [summer cottage] or are saving up to purchase one.
We drank, ate some excellent traditional foods, and mostly just
relaxed by the lake. Mari took us into town since I hadn't ever seen
Olavinlinna and we walked around the tori. The water in the lakes is
so clear that it makes you realise just how polluted most of the US
is, even the parts that are supposedly protected. It was so quiet
around the lake, too, that I'd swear I heard someone fart on the far,
far end of the lake. :) Savo, the lake district of Finland, is a lot
less inhabited than the Tampere-Turku-Helsinki triangle in western
Finland which makes for a quiet, serene and beautiful spot for a
cottage. Lupines in pink, purple and white line the roads for as far
as you can see. HB had such a good time that he didn't want to get out
of the car when we returned so maybe we need to look into getting him
a cottage for next year. :)

Economy: A Financial Pearl Harbor???
Economy: A Financial Pearl Harbor???
01/28/2004 06:41 PMFrom
The Connection's archives: Robert Rubin on his new book (
In an Uncertain World) and the
economic well-being of the US. Worth the time spent to listen to
it. While there is a
risk of a financial melt-down
(ie. due to a lack of job growth, historically high short term
interest rates, etc.), the real problem is
uncertainty.
Risk can be projected and compensated for (if you do get burned
by risk, it's your fault). Uncertainty can't be quantified or
analyzed. It can only guarded against by not placing yourself in
a position where uncertainty can't topple you easily. We are in
a position where uncertainty can put us in a crunch in very
short order.
For example, uncertainty is an event like 9/11 and the subsequent
invasion of Iraq.This sequence of events were unanticipatable, in
any reasonable way, but they have had a major impact on our
financial status.Some other uncertainties that we have on our
plate include a series of major terrorist attacks on US soil that
negatively impact regional economies and confidence, a
failure/quagmire in Iraq that drags on for years at an escalating cost
and a global loss of confidence, and full war with North Korea.
Any of these events could cause the budget deficit to surge to
unsustainable levels over an extended period, cause the US to lose its
safe harbor status, and turn the rest of the world against us
(not willing to help us when we are in crisis).
This is exactly how we could convert (through our lack of
preparedness) the risk of long-term financial crisis into a
short term crisis. Given this, why isn't fiscal responsibility a
National Security issue??? If our economy collapses due to
external uncertainties becoming real events, we would be hard pressed
to defend ourselves. We wouldn't be able to afford
it. This is the national security issue of our time.

Pearl Jam's Internet Distribution
Strategy Working So Far
11/17/2003 03:14 AMEarlier this year we wrote about how Pearl Jam finished up their
contract with Sony Music and had decided to push forward independently
with an
internet
distribution model. While they're still figuring out how it will
work for full length albums, it appears to be doing just fine for
singles. While they haven't fully embraced digital distribution,
they've successfully
sold a bunch of
CDs of a new single from their own site, and it's received plenty
of listens on RealNetworks - where it was available to stream for
free. On Monday, it will be available for purchase on iTunes. The
band is using this as something of a test to see what they can do with
music. Hopefully, they'll go even further into offering up music for
free that doesn't come with restrictions, and use that to sell
additional goods and services - whether its CDs, concert tickets,
access to the band or whatever. No matter what they do, you can bet
that many bands
and record industry execs will be watching
closely.
