Going on a "Man Date" (NYT link, reg.
required). Two (presumably) heterosexual guys who knew each other
from college go to the museum and dinner without partners -- and
apparently this qualifies as a "man date," although (again
presumably) there's no kiss at the end of the night or promises to
call the next day. Maybe I'm cranky, but back in my day, we simply
called this "spending time with a friend" and didn't plaster
a thin veneer of gay panic/defensive het rationalization on it. Is the
social behavior of straight males now so circumscribed that a guy
having one-on-one time with a male friend outside a bar or sporting
merits an article in the NYT?

What's wrong with FOAF?
What's wrong with FOAF?
05/03/2004 03:47 AMJoel De Gan is
someone who I've had the pleasure of working with over
the past few weeks.
We've started a People's DNS
effort and his wife Eve - even did a logo. First Joel invented a
new kind of filter for the People's DNS - now he's looking long
and hard at FOAF - to find out what's needed.
Most of the issues Joel brings up we've dealt with or have answers
for - but I thought it would be coolio to put this post out there.
Responses can be sent to Joel or me or left here as comments.
Whats the problem
with FOAF?.
Whats the problem with FOAF?
Submitted by joeldg on Sun,
05/02/2004 - 08:53.
As a programmer working with FOAF and writing a
sizeable application centered around FOAF and the FOAF specification I
cannot help but marvel that this specification has been so widely
adopted. FOAF as it stands is difficult at best to work with and deal
with. RDF by nature is fluid and allows anyone to just hack up
anything into it. FOAF is just some basic guidelines for saying "This
is who I am!" but it is missing some very large and very key parts to
become a true social networking centerpiece.
I am going to explain
in a second, but in order to do what I have set out to do here, I have
"add" some things to FOAF in the form of modules, I have to bet that
people will follow them as a standard. This is a tough idea to go
forward with.
One: FOAF is missing a way to be centralized, I
understand this was part of the bargin with FOAF and a lot of people
are hardcore against it, but there is not even a way in the current
specification to 'set' a centralized server, location, website,
anything how do we know which of your thirty foaf files is the
authorative and most recently updated file?
Two: FOAF has not
implemented private/public files, FOAF needs a way to have a private
file so I can email all my FOAF "knows" people (people I say I know)
and a public file that you can view who I know and see how I fit
in.
Three: Any shmuck can toss me in his "knows" statements,
this links that person to me. A lot of people will say "so what" well,
how about this; John Carmack (the creator of games like Quake and
Doom) creates a FOAF file, then every Quake player in the country
decides that they want to be linked to Mr. Carmack (and believe me,
they will.. just look at who links to his .plan file). So now pDNS has
to sort through 30k users who state they "know" this guy. So, who
really 'KNOWS' this guy and who is authorative for knowing this guy. I
mean obviously we would want to let his developers say they "know"
him, his employees etc. And, furthermore "How" do they know him? Are
they a "Fan" an actual "Friend" or a coworker?
Four: There are
no defined "groups" (which like mailing lists: read, yahoo groups
etc..) that are strictly defined. Why? Part of what makes up a
structure is the definition of groups of people, right now it is
free-for-all and is basically impossible to determine peoples actual
groupings. It is like social incest and is difficult to determine how
all the people are actually linked.
So, I have some complaints,
I also have 'proposed' solutions (or I would not have brought up my
gripes) that I would like to hear back from people on.
My goals
in pDNS are simple.
Allow people full control over their profile,
implement ttl's in foaf profiles so they are not pinged all the time
(save bandwidth), add timestamps of last updated so we can tell which
is newer and therefore the more accurate. Add in some structure on
where to find the authorative file, either on our servers or on
theirs. Add in methods through the pDNS system so that you can set
your profile so that people cannot be simply adding you left and
right. You can set your profile to always allow people to add you and
add them back, always allow them to add but 'not' add them back, never
allow people to add you, or you can moderate additons.
Set up
'groups' of people that have moderators, this way if you run some
site, say "computerfreak" and all your users can join your group, this
will link them in as a user and makes doing private mailing lists for
your users easy.
These are just some ideas that I am mulling
over as I look at an apparent free-for-all mess that is the current
state of FOAF data. I also understand why it has not been universally
adopted due to the issues stated above and others.
My point is,
look at the success of things like ICQ and yahoo groups, think about
why they are adopted so widely and have so many people that swear by
them.
Anyway, feedback would be appreciated, any thoughts or
ideas/solutions you may have.

Google Is Wrong
Google Is Wrong
03/14/2005 05:56 PMThere’ve been a couple of weeks to think about it, and the more I
think about it, the more it seems obvious that Google has gone
seriously off the rails with the new AutoLink feature of their
toolbar. On this one, I’m lining up with
Dave Winer,
Rob
Scoble, and
Zeldman. Google
has established a relationship of trust with many millions of people:
they provide a good service and they make good money doing it, and
that’s just fine. It seems so obvious that this move is not only
evil but stupid; I keep hearing that
MSN is pretty good these days, but
Microsoft isn’t trustworthy, so I don’t go there. If I don’t
trust Google either, all bets are off. Anyhow, this is a policy
problem not a technical problem, so here’s a suggestion: perhaps
our friends at
Creative
Commons could have a look and develop a professional legal opinion
as to whether their licenses, like
the one I
use, are infringed by AutoLink (my non-professional opinion is
that Google’s damn close to the edge). If not, perhaps they could
create a variant license that clearly rules it out of order. Then
Google stops, or we sue their ass.

a lot of people disagreed, publicly and one-on-one. So I researched
some more and wrote this; check it

02/10/2004 02:54 PMdanah didn't like my post....
She somehow associates this woman's photo - with sex offenders.
Last I looked - women also like sex. Some of them like to be
dominant - some submissive. As I watch 'the L word' - it's
clear there are all SORTS of lesbians out there. Just cause sex
crimes exist - doesn't mean that acting submissive - is directly
connected to those heinous crimes.
So why be so judgemental?
Why can't some people have fun - the way they wanna party, and
others pontificate on intellectual matters? Isn't there enough
room out there for ALL forms of partying?
Just woindering....
Here's danah's post.....
partying like a sex offender at
Etech.
How exciting - Marc Canter
is organizing a party at Etech. Of course, in announcing it, he
sweetly through up a picture that offends me at my core. "It appears
that Jenn is quite a partier herself." refers to an image where a
grinning man is holding on to a bent over woman with a face that's
either in ecstasy or agony. But she's down on all fours, submissive to
a man in a Santa suit. C'mon now. How welcoming is this party to the
women???
[apophenia]
So I'm sorry that danah got turned off by my posting of Jenn's
image. For some reason I trust her choice of a bar to have a
party at (which I've never even been to.) I met Jenn through Justin - which is good enough for
me.
Any friend of Justin is a
friend of mine.

What's wrong with Sem@code
What's wrong with Sem@code
05/06/2004 12:53 PM
When I posted about Semacode yesterday, I had a vague feeling
something was missing
and bugged me rest of the day until I realized it while in the ZZ
land. It's
that a Semacode maps to a URL which is a silly thing to do in the
post-Google era.
Websites, particularly small websites likely to be pointed to by
Semacode, tend to
disappear over time and it's mostly read-only, meaning only those
who own the website
or are members of the website can add information to it.
Semacode should be just be a string unique enough to be used as a
reliable coordinate
in the online search space so that looking it up at a search engine
will return only
the links directly and deliberately mapped to the coordinate.
This way people
can add information about the object at the coordinate without
restrictions.
If it happens to be a restaurant, they can even post a bad review
on their own blogs
and it will still show up on cellphones after Semacode is scanned.
Think different people. URL is so tired. Keywords are
so wired.

The problem with blogosphere is that it's all too personal,
particularly at the ozone
layer. I like practically everyone in it but often it's
difficult to post things
without giving off unintended bad vibes. When I have an
opinion, I have to say
it like I have to fart when I have gas. But letting one loose
can cloud up the
room and you know that blogosphere is a really big room where you
can't pretend it's
someone else.
While some might deny it or might not even be aware of it, there
are definitely cliques
to which people and even companies belong to or are associated with
by themselves
or by others. When I say something negative about something
one of them did,
I am doing so as if I would offer an advice to a friend, but it's
often seen as if
I am attacking the clique as a whole. Even worse, I feel as
if I did.
Wrong answers
Wrong answers
04/17/2004 10:04 AMI absolutely can't stand people that don't take the time to learn
the answer to the question being asked of them.
If people don't know the answer to the question being asked, I'd
much rather hear "you know, that's a great question, and while I don't
know the answer to that question, I'll find out for you" if it is
their responsibility or job to know the answer than an ansewr that is
wrong and can be proven to be wrong in less than 5 simple steps.
Wrong answers from 'authorities on a subject' make me not trust
those authorities any more, and trust is crucial to an organization
that is growing.
Wrong answers make me want to do the work myself.
Wrong answers make me think the authority is so stupid that I won't
ask them any other questions.
Wrong answers make me think that the authority thinks I'm too
stupid to know that they're full of shit.
Being given blatantly wrong answers while the deliverer speaks with
that tone that exudes almighty authority feels like being fed human
excrement with only a rusty bent fork to eat it after being left in a
dungeon for 40 days and 40 nights.
Giving wrong answers is lazy and is the wrong thing to do.
I hate people that consistently give wrong answers and don't
concede defeat when proven wrong... that don't retreat and admit their
inadequacy... that don't correct themselves.
I hate people that survive just by covering their ass after
consistently giving wrong lazy answers.
I also deplore people that won't ever hold other people
accountable.

Your Info (Right Or Wrong) Is Not Your

03/23/2005 04:41 PMTwo separate pieces this morning highlight a number of points that
have been popping up on Techdirt quite a bit over the past few weeks.
The first is a summary (once again) of
all of the various private data leaks/hacks/handouts/whatever
that may have put your personal data at risk. To be honest, while
it's getting a lot of attention this month, it's likely that this is
all par for the course. It's just that the press has finally picked
up on it. The article notes that, so far, the only thing Congress has
done is try to make the punishment for identity theft higher -- which
is an after the fact solution, that does little to push companies to
be more secure with
their your data. The article
also notes, again, that none of these data leaks came via the
internet, and there was
nothing any
indivi
dual could have done to stop them. The second story concerns the
fact that
Choic
ePoint has plenty of incorrect data about people -- and no way to
request a change. It turns out (whooooops!)
that's
against the law. Of course, given their apparent inability to
protect your data, perhaps it's
good that they can't get your
data correct. Maybe people should start
purposely putting
errors into these reports so they can track who's leaking the data.

LA county says tech vendors can't use
BDSM slang for equipment
11/18/2003 07:48 PMMike from
SOCALWUG shares an
actual email from the Los Angeles County Purchasing and Contract
Services
Director, asking technology vendors to refrain from using the terms
"master" or "slave" to refer to interrelating parts -- for example, a
"master" hard drive controlling a "slave" client device. Perhaps
Dom/Sub/Switch would be more apropos. Talk SCSI to me, baby: who's
your (hard drive's) daddy? Snip:
The County of Los Angeles actively promotes and is committed to ensure
a work environment that is free from any discriminatory influence be
it actual or perceived.
As such, it is the County's expectation that our manufacturers,
suppliers and
contractors make a concentrated effort to ensure that any equipment,
supplies
or services that are provided to County departments do not possess or
portray
an image that may be construed as offensive or defamatory in nature.
One such recent example included the manufacturer's labeling of
equipment where the words ''Master/Slave'' appeared to identify the
primary and secondary sources.
Based on the cultural diversity and sensitivity of Los Angeles County,
this is not
an acceptable identification label.
We would request that each manufacturer, supplier and contractor
review, identify
and remove/change any identification or labeling of equipment or
components
thereof that could be interpreted as discriminatory or offensive in
nature before
such equipment is sold or otherwise provided to any County department.
