Everyone makes fun of the Japanese use of English. (See Engrish) T he Chicago Tribune has a story featuring Chicagoans with tattoos Japanese characters and a comparison of what the bearers think they mean and what they really mean in Japanese. Very funny.

Washington Post: New Details of Prison Abuse Emerge . Previously secret sworn statements by detainees at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq describe in raw detail abuse that goes well beyond what has been made public, adding allegations of prisoners being ridden like animals, sexually fondled by female soldiers and forced to retrieve their food from toilets.

My skin is white, so I went with blue sides (and bottom) and red tips. You can't tell it's blue in the Webcam right now, but... trust me. I was completely blonde a few hours ago. Briefly. We'll see how long the producers allow me to have this 'do. If you like what you see, leave a "thumbs up" after the beep. You might also blast a message to callforhelp (at) techtv.com.

torture is not an american value

torture is not an american value 02/01/2005 09:53 PM

I am joining a growing list of Americans who oppose the confirmation, of Alberto Gonzales for Attorney General.

As the prime legal architect for the policy of torture adopted by the Bush Administration, Gonzales's advice led directly to the abandonment of longstanding federal laws, the Geneva Conventions, and the United States Constitution itself. Our country, in following Gonzales's legal opinions, has forsaken its commitment to human rights and the rule of law and shamed itself before the world with our conduct at Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib. The United States, a nation founded on respect for law and human rights, should not have as its Attorney General the architect of the law's undoing.

In January 2002, Gonzales advised the President that the United States Constitution does not apply to his actions as Commander in Chief, and thus the President could declare the Geneva Conventions inoperative. Gonzales's endorsement of the August 2002 Bybee/Yoo Memorandum approved a definition of torture so vague and evasive as to declare it nonexistent. Most shockingly, he has embraced the unacceptable view that the President has the power to ignore the Constitution, laws duly enacted by Congress and International treaties duly ratified by the United States. He has called the Geneva Conventions "quaint."

[. . .]

With this nomination, we have arrived at a crossroads as a nation. Now is the time for all citizens of conscience to stand up and take responsibility for what the world saw, and, truly, much that we have not seen, at Abu Ghraib and elsewhere. We oppose the confirmation of Alberto Gonzales as Attorney General of the United States, and we urge the Senate to reject him.

While it is vital that we defeat our enemies, we must not become them in the process. As a nation, we must stand united against Albert Gonzales and everything he represents. Torture is not an American value.

American Ocean

American Ocean 04/09/2004 04:12 PM

Pimp, Day 112, East St. Louis, Illinois.

This month's issue of LFI has a breathtaking collection of photos by Aaron Huey who walked 3349 miles from Encinitas, California to Coney Island, New York with his dog Cosmo and a Leica M6. I've seen quite a few collections of photographs attempting to paint a cohesive portrait of America and I'm prepared to say that if the whole collection are as good as the teaser in LFI, Am erican Ocean blows the rest of them away.

Huey was only 25 when he got sponsored by Kodak and Leica to do this trip. Given that he apprenticed with a National Geographic photographer prior to this project, my more cynical side suspected that he was just a kid with all the right connections and a bit of talent. However, when I started reading the journals he kept while he was on the road it quickly became clear that he's no poseur. Take some time and read them as he has a particular gift for telling the story that he went in search of for 154 days. Anyone who can walk through East St. Louis at any hour of the day isn't just doing this to make a name for himself.

East St. Louis is where you go after 3am to get booze at the drive-thru liquor store where the cashier takes your money with one hand while holding a gun at you with the other hand. The city is so poor and bankrupt that they didn't have garbage collection for at least 5 years. Dead bodies from St. Louis regularly turn up under the highway overpasses. The danger is the same for people of all colours, too. East St. Louis is a place to be avoided in a car and definitely not walked through. I particularly enjoy his astute observation of how close abject poverty and the suburban middle-class are to each other and the jarring reality it creates for those who notice. If Huey could not only walk through unscathed, but make friends and photograph some of them then he is a truly gifted storyteller with his camera and pen.

Day 111 NW St. Louis to South St.Louis

The rest of the day is a series of wrong turns. I walk through a wasteland. 2 hours of abandoned buildings. Empty streets. Where are all the people. Pockets of very rich. Pockets of very poor. Large blocks of deserted buildings. Strange city. Where are the people? Walk under the famous arch. It had to be done, it is the gateway to the East. So an official beginning for the final push. A looooong final push. Walk along the river. It is flooding from a week of rain. Down by the rail yards I walk 2 miles of world class grafitti, 20 feet high and 2 miles long. The most impressive thing I have seen in St.Louis. Worth staying the extra day for this alone. It is a better gallery than any museum here.

I've driven coast-to-coast a dozen or so times and I've driven the length of route 66. You can't get the idea of how vast the US is from an airplane. America isn't the place that is portrayed in the movies no matter how seductive the fantasy. America is a gigantic place in great need of a storyteller like Huey. Apparently no publisher has picked up his book which I find hard to believe since it's just amazing work. I really want to see this collection along with the stories in a finished, bound book.

OQO Hype Back In Fashion

OQO Hype Back In Fashion 05/26/2004 04:28 AM
Ok, I lied. A few hours ago I wrote in the comments that I wasn't going to write any more about the OQO device until an actual product was shipping. However, seeing BusinessWeek's insane gushing over the company, it seemed reasonable to chime in. Remember, the OQO is up there on the list of vaporware products. The idea was to build a fully functional computer inside a portable box that was only a little bigger than a typical PDA. It was first announced more than two years ago, with specs and features it doesn't seem to have these days. They promised it would be under $1,000 and would come with various "docking stations" like a laptop docking station that you could pop it into to turn the OQO into an immediate laptop, if that was needed. Now, they're saying it'll be $2,000 and there's no talk of the docking stations. Of course, while OQO has been able to get all the hype, many other companies have been working on very similar devices, including Tiqit, IBM spin-off Antelope, and Paul Allen's Flipstart. The one thing all of these systems have in common is you still can't buy one. All of them have been working at offering such a device for years, and every few months there's another flurry of news stories about them as if it's some big new idea. Sure, they all of have funky prototypes (I even got to play around with the Tiqit device two years ago) that are very cool, and which I'm sure people would find quite useful - but until we can go out, plunk down our money, and get one of these tiny computers, can the press please lay off on the mushy stories about how wonderful they are?
