Omit needless words, codified

Omit needless words, codified 04/09/2004 04:08 PM

I continue to try to improve my writing. "Omit needless words" is all well and good, but identifying needless words can be a difficult task for the untrained eye. Paul Ford's Passivator bookmarklet highlights adverbs and passive verbs, both of which can indicate weak writing.

Britain - Stamping Out Terrorism. One Peaceful Protestor At A Time. "The Home Office proposes "to make it an offence to protest outside homes in such a way that causes harassment, alarm or distress to residents" [PDF & HTML] This sounds reasonable enough, until you realise that the police can define "harassment, alarm or distress" however they wish. All protest in residential areas, in other words, could now be treated as a criminal offence. The government will also seek to "suggest remedies" for websites which "include material deemed to cause concern or needless anxiety to others"."

A Few Words About The War


A Few Words About The War 03/21/2003 12:30 PM

For the past few days my TV has been fixed on CNN. I've been riveted to their coverage of this second war in the Persian Gulf, which is simultaneously complete and noble. I find myself continually having to keep in mind that this is a war. Bitter reminders are around every corner, however. At this hour thirteen coalition soldeiers, eight U.K. and five American, have lost their lives both in combat and accidents.

In my, ironically, U.S. History class this morning, I saw a girl near me holding a picture of some young man in military garb, and a set of dog tags, presumably his. Godspeed to him and all his brothers and sisters in combat in the Persian Gulf.

New Year's Tradition: Banishing Words (yes, I've done this before) L.S.S.U has been making lists since 1976, but after all the censorship battles of the last year, they probably should be using less threatening terminology than "banished". Still, most of the terminology in this Hall of Shame list certainly deserves to be discouraged, derided and degraded.

Of course, Creative Deity Matt Groening does his own annual list of Forbidden Words, and some webhead has developed a cool webtool: The Forbidden Words Flagger.

Here's a new addition to the IT dictionary:

laptop ballet: the movements made by a person hurrying to a meeting, when he realizes he does not know where this meeting takes place, and that information is only in the email, but he is too busy or lacking a suitable place to sit down, so he ends up running down the hallway, balancing the laptop with one hand, and using the computer with the other.

Sometimes you also see this being performed with PDAs and cell phones, but these are nowhere as spectacular as the full 3 kg IBM Thinkpad version, performed in a narrow corridor in sync with 20 other people.

RageBoy has discovered that Amazon seems to be rolling out a feature that shows you for any particular book which phrases in it are "statistically improbable." For example, Chris' own Gonzo Marketing uses the phrase "public journalism" and "market advocacy." Obviously those are not phrases unique to Chris' book, so Amazon is doing some sort of statistical analysis to find phrases that have some prominence within a book and across books. Fascinating. Unfortunately, apparently you need to be using the Safari browser to see this on Amazon. Or perhaps you need to be taking the same drugs as RB. Either...

100,000 words in your pocket


100,000 words in your pocket 03/26/2005 07:58 PM
When the iPod was unveiled in November 2001, there were at least a few visionaries who accurately predicted it would change the way we listen of music. When the iTunes Music Store was launched, many said it would change the way we buy music. When GarageBand was demoed, at least three people wrote that it would change the way we make music. However, when the shuffle dropped, no one said it would change the way we listen … to books. But maybe it will. In lieu of actual books, my hometown library has begun to rent out shuffles preloaded with audiobooks, presumably in an effort to keep up with the changing times. In this, the age of quick information and instant gratification, libraries have gone the way of betamax and the laserdisc, lost in the digital shuffle (no pun intended). So what if libraries could turn digital, too, along with colleges, newspapers and anything else that gets written down? Of course, the written, printed word will never be replaced, but the 21st century's attention span (or lack thereof), has forced authors and journalist to write shorter, punchier works — blogs have replaced longer investigative pieces; tabloid-sized newspaper have become more popular than traditional, broadsheet formats; and even CNN has changed their format to cut down on the length of its program blocks. Last semester, Duke University positioned itself firmly on the cutting edge by supplying its incoming freshmen students with iPods "to facilitate the use of information technology in innovative ways within the classroom and across campus," and it seems to be working (though several were likely smashed last night after the Blue Devils’ loss to Michigan State in the NCAA tournament). However successful, though, schools have reservations about accepting the iPod as a reading tool, largely due to its reputation as a popular music player. But with the 1GB shuffle, as opposed to the 20GB iPod, storage options are significantly lessened, making it a much more desirable choice for academic institutions. Audiobooks have certainly become more popular since the iTunes Music Store began selling them, and if a public library in Levittown, N.Y., can see that, I’m quite certain that major metropolises will catch on, assuming they haven’t already. The digital revolution is greater than music and bigger than the iPod itself, and perhaps Apple needs to change its "songs in your pocket" campaign to reflect the changing times, Perhaps: Life is a page-turner.

Some words from a remixer 02/10/2004 02:41 AM

Victor Stone writes a remixer-readabl e description on how the new Creative Commons Sampling license compares to our standard licenses. He also mentions that it's important to have format specific metdata, so that search engines can find Creative Commons licensed audio, as opposed to text, images, or video. This way remixers can easily find sounds they can remix legally, rather than having to wade through a mass of content.

You get format specific metadata when you choose a license and designate what format your content is in. We'll soon launch a seach engine that reads this metadata so that you can find works to use as part of your own creations. Unfortunately, currently no major search engine offers this service.


The missing 997 words


The missing 997 words 05/25/2004 06:55 AM

Worth a thousand words

The power of a picture to evoke a feeling and convey a meaning more elegantly and more efficiently than mere words is, especially in these times, awe inspiring. One of the reasons I enjoy illustrating many of my entries with photos is due to their ability to describe my subject far more completely and without bias than I can. In the wake of the Iraqi prison torture photos I have been waiting and hoping for an explanation of how people could do this, take photos of it and display them proudly on their PC. Regardless of all the rhetoric about 'this is war' or 'but they attacked first' or 'they beheaded an American', I want to understand how anyone and everyone who knew about it and participated in it could follow their orders so completely that they went an extra mile and posed for pictures in which they exuded a pride one usually only sees in game hunter photos including the dead carcass of the one that didn't get away.

Being an American abroad in a country that is neither NATO or supplying combatant troops to Iraq amplifies my feelings of betrayal by my own country and the scrutiny by the rest of the world who don't wonder at the news since they've known all along that we're just a bunch of thugs who frequently break or refashion the rules of engagement to suit our whims. I haven't been proud to be an American in so many years that it seems pointless to try to count them, but this is a new low. Much of America, in a collective white trash playground yawp, will rebutt the outrage by saying something ignorant like "War is hell" or "We saved them from Saddam" while forgetting that the whole exercise was to liberate Iraq, not take over the country and pick up where Saddam left off at Abu Ghraib. Who knew about this and why did it take so long to hit the press? There are a lot of troops over there and a number who have returned already. Why aren't we asking them to stand up and testify? I know a few people serving in Iraq, one of whom was even an MP in or near Baghdad, and every day I resist the urge to send them an email with one line: Did you know? I suppose I don't because I'm afraid that all of them will say yes and I don't know that I have a response to that which wouldn't sound confrontational and accusatory. Of course they knew.

The most disturbing part of the photos is the gloating and posing by the soldiers, but there was something oddly familiar about them, too, that I just couldn't place. Fortunately, Susan Sontag has reminded me why in What Have We Done?":

So, then, the real issue is not the photographs but what the photographs reveal to have happened to "suspects" in American custody? No: the horror of what is shown in the photographs cannot be separated from the horror that the photographs were taken - with the perpetrators posing, gloating, over their helpless captives. German soldiers in the second world war took photographs of the atrocities they were committing in Poland and Russia, but snapshots in which the executioners placed themselves among their victims are exceedingly rare. (See a book just published, Photographing the Holocaust by Janina Struk.) If there is something comparable to what these pictures show it would be some of the photographs - collected in a book entitled Without Sanctuary - of black victims of lynching taken between the 1880s and 1930s, which show smalltown Americans, no doubt most of them church-going, respectable citizens, grinning, beneath the naked mutilated body of a black man or woman hanging behind them from a tree. The lynching photographs were souvenirs of a collective action whose participants felt perfectly justified in what they had done. So are the pictures from Abu Ghraib.

If there is a difference, it is a difference created by the increasing ubiquity of photographic actions. The lynching pictures were in the nature of photographs as trophies - taken by a photographer, in order to be collected, stored in albums; displayed. The pictures taken by American soldiers in Abu Ghraib reflect a shift in the use made of pictures - less objects to be saved than evanescent messages to be disseminated, circulated. A digital camera is a common possession of most soldiers. Where once photographing war was the province of photojournalists, now the soldiers themselves are all photographers - recording their war, their fun, their observations of what they find picturesque, their atrocities - and swapping images among themselves, and emailing them around the globe.

I've seen some of those pictures from the age of lynching as a sport and they are every bit as repellent as the ones from Abu Ghraib. It's pretty sad to think that, in spite of exterminating 6 million people during a war, the Nazi's didn't pose with piles of skulls like a game fisherman who just hauled in a great catch, no, they apparently still had some shred of decency left somewhere. They even had fine Leica cameras to document it with, not some crappy, grainy mobile phone camera. I mean, what in the fuck is going on here? Baseball, Apple Pie and Tortue: The American Way makes an attempt to put some of the blame where it belongs, on Americans. Why is America behaving like it's the only damn country who ever sustained an attack by terrorists and are lashing out as though rounding up all the people in Iraq and torturing them is going to either stop terrorism or elicit good will from those who aren't planning to bomb the US?

As someone who isn't living in the back patting, thumbs up, alrighty let's kill some terrorists enclave of the continental US, I'll gladly inform those who are that the only thing that is working, is making those of us with US passports feel even more exposed, more ashamed and desperate to not be mistaken as an American. We keep waiting and watching for some sign, some faint hope that the people of America will find someone to rally around and march on Washington and riot in the streets. I suppose we'll be waiting until the Wal-Mart runs out of cheap crap to buy. America is a country of sheep who follow orders, obediently consume and optimistically hope that no matter if they sit on the couch and do nothing that everything will turn out alright. Optimism. Always.

They say a picture is worth 1,000 words and the only words I've been getting from them are "Fuck the World." I want the other 997 words explaining how in the hell it happened, continued to happen, pictures made it onto screensavers and everyone just watched and 'followed orders'. I want to know this as it's the same thing that happened with Hitler's willing executioners. How is it that the US is the arbiter of democracy and truth? I want those 997 words that the pictures were at a loss to explain.

Education and Words


Education and Words 03/15/2003 01:48 AM

Tyler is worri ed that college cheaters might get an unfair head-start in the job market.  In my experience, he has nothing to worry about.  GPA is certainly something we look at when reviewing resumes, but students often fret about GPA with an intensity that is rarely justified by subsequent life experience.  Good grades can sometimes play a part in getting a candidate invited to an interview (which is admittedly important for people starting out), but again I wouldn't worry too much about cheaters.  My sense is that people normally don't cheat unless they feel that they need to -- in other words, people cheat in order to avoid getting kicked out of college, not as a way to get the sort of GPAs that might stand on their own to get someone into an interview.  You could argue that it's unfair for a 2.0 student to perhaps get a job based on a fraudulent 3.2 GPA.  But with a 3.2, it isn't going to be the GPA that plays the major part in that person getting a job anyway.  And if they are the sort who need to cheat on college exams, they'll be left behind and Tyler won't be working anywere near them five years from now.

~

This makes a nice segue to a rant that's been building for awhile.  Nothing annoys me more than those who whine "the government doesn't do enough to educate our children!"  This seems to be a very popular political tactic, but turns education on its head and does more harm than good.  Education is not a passive thing that students have done to them, but rather an active thing that students do for themselves.  If a person wants to learn Calculus, History, or Music; but doesn't, he has nobody to blame but himself.  It is not the parents' fault, it is not the teachers' fault, and it is certainly not the government's fault.  There are plenty of good Calculus books available, and the cause of failure to learn isn't lack of government funding or lack of quality teaching -- it is lack of reading the book.

It is true that children don't normally teach themselves to read, but this is really the sort of thing that parents should teach their children.  Even if 50% of children enter first grade without being able to read, teaching kids to read is a tiny fraction of what our government spends on "education".  And once a child knows how to read, virtually all of the world's learning becomes hers for the taking.  The invention of written language guaranteed that great "teachers" could continue to communicate to students long after the death of the teacher.  The printing press lowered the cost of such communications almost to zero, and public libraries made such teaching affordable to societies poorest members.  It is impossible to overstate the impact that these three developments have had on humans' ability to teach one another, yet we still have people who reach adulthood without knowing basic arithmetic.

I believe that the advent of the Internet and mass storage are having the same sort of impact on humans' ability to teach and learn that the printing press had.  And furthermore, I think that the "semantic web" will be another such leap for mankind.  But even without today's "mass-storage web" and the coming "semantic web", there is absolutely no excuse for someone failing to learn something that he or she desires to learn. 

Kids today have things soooo much better than Aristotle had.  I wish they would stop whining already, and "just read the book!" (as Mark MacLeod would say)

~

And speaking of literacy, here is a nice little story about the "100 words you should know".  This list has provoked some disagreement recently, with some people violently rejecting the idea that flowery words are evidence of intellectual horsepower.  It is true that people sometimes use intimidating words as a sort of facade to dazzle and deflect away from real intellectual deficiencies.  But that is not the same as saying that a rich vocabulary is not worth acquiring.  Words are the atoms of language, and language is the substrate of thinking (especially abstract, higher-level thinking).  Words lubricate the brain.

On the other hand, I have a hard time taking seriously a list which considers "Ziggurat" a sign of intelligence.  I suspect they mixed up the "words that help you think" with "words that are good for Jr. High spelling-bee finals".
