Camping Gears

Camping Gears 03/23/2005 10:50 PM

C hris and Ponzi are having a world of pain fun getting camping gears together for Scoble's FU-Camp.  If you are just starting to get into camping, my advise would be to get as little as possible.  Part of camping fun is learning about what you need for the next trip.

If you get too much stuff out of anticipation, you'll waste too much time packing and unpacking.  And chances are, you won't make the second trip until years later.

My list of starter essentials for drive-in camping:

• tent(s) - easier to put up the better.  Make sure the tent is big enough to accomodate air-mattresses.  Don't waist money on hammers and stuff.
• a couple of large tarps - these are useful in many ways.
• sleeping bags - spend most of your money on this.
• air-mattress - I can't live without this.  There are some good ones out there that you can inflate and deflate silently in a few minutes.
• comfortable foldup chairs
• 2 lanterns and 1 flashlight
• an outdoor stove
• lighter and some firestarters
• a water bucket with a good handle
• a large plastic pan
• some thin ropes
• some protection against bugs (I like burning kind).
• ice chest(s)

That's it.  Oh yes, you'll need a bigger car.

As to pots and pans, just take throw aways from your kitchen until you know what you need for your choice of camp food.  And don't touch that glistening wood chopping axe unless you don't mind losing a toe.  Campsites or stores near them have firewood and they burn just fine without chopping them into smaller pieces.

If you enjoy hiking, you would already have the right shoes and cloths.  If you don't, don't get any so you won't have to hike.  When I go camping, I use my 15 year-old pair of sneakers (due to very low mileages logged) and a pair of slippers.  I use the sneakers to drive and unpack.  Then I switch to my 'thinking man's slippers', aka high-on-food gear, and that's that until it's time to pack again and drive away.

Kicking off the camping season

Kicking off the camping season 06/05/2005 10:49 PM

This weekend is the start of our camping season this year. This year, the first camping trip will be at the Pfiffer Big Sur State Park. We've been that five times or so but I have no problem with repeating a good thing. My wife, on the other hand, wants to try new camps. Sheesh.

My only worry is that my cigarette craving might get real bad during the trip. Last time I quit smoking for longer than a week, I stayed away for 6 months but I started smoking again while camping at Clear Lake. Oh boy, it was bad. I chewed through a full box of nicotine gum before throwing the towel in. I hope I fare better this time.

While it amounts to a major release in size and scope, it could also be called the cod liver oil of software upgrades: nasty but good for you.

eBooks Suddenly Getting More Attention

eBooks Suddenly Getting More Attention 07/20/2004 04:28 AM
Every few years there's a big fuss about the future of ebooks, and they never seem to get very far. Sure, a few early adopter types buy into the whole concept, but with clumsy readers, annoyin g digital rights management and a lack of content, they usually don't get very far. Here's yet another story, though, suggesting that, perhaps, the time has come for eBooks. The article quotes a study saying that eBooks are "the fastest growing segment of the publishing industry" which really isn't that impressive when you realize from what a small base they're starting, and considering that most of the publishing world is pretty well established. In absolute numbers, ebook sales are still a barely noticeable blip on the very distant outskirts of the radar.

The RIAA Is Suddenly A Fan Of Ratings

The RIAA Is Suddenly A Fan Of Ratings 10/31/2003 01:39 AM
It really wasn't that long ago at all that the music industry fought as hard as possible to resist the idea of putting movie-like ratings on their music. They wanted to make sure that anyone could buy whatever music they wanted, no matter how bad the language. So, isn't it just a bit amusing to hear that, suddenly, they're all for labeling digital music so that that parents can have "effective" filters for their kids? Yeah, right. As Ernest Miller points out, this is an incredibly obvious attempt at pitching parents on one more reason they should stop their kids from using Kazaa. What's annoying about this, is that the one group of people they're likely to convince that this is a good idea is the politicians.

Suddenly, Cingular-AT&T Wireless Merger
To Get More Scrutiny

Suddenly, Cingular-AT&T Wireless Merger
To Get More Scrutiny 07/15/2004 05:09 AM
Ever since the rumors began about big mobile carriers merging, it's been generally expected that any such merger wouldn't run into any sort of regulatory problems. After Cingular won the war for AT&T Wireless, most people expected that they wouldn't have much of a problem getting through the anti-trust review. However, it sounds like a few folks in the Justice Department have suddenly woken up and realized that maybe, just maybe, they should check this one out a bit more carefully. Apparently, the claim is that they want to make sure they have all their bases covered, since it's likely that this deal will set a precedent for future mobile mergers (which are still somewhat expected). Oddly, they also claim that the sudden concern is due to the realization that AT&T Wireless is the last major mobile phone carrier not backed by a Bell company. Apparently, someone forgot to include T-Mobile and Nextel in the discussion. T-Mobile is backed by Deutsche Telekom, but it's certainly not an American Bell company. Still, the Justice Department is suddenly worried that the Bells will absolutely dominate the mobile phone business (weren't they doing so already?) and keep out all kinds of competition. Again, this seems fairly easy to disprove (T-Mobile, Nextel...), but if they really feel the need for a little extra scrutiny, then let them have at it.

Suddenly The Patent Office Realizes That
Online Auctions Are Obvious

Suddenly The Patent Office Realizes That
Online Auctions Are Obvious 03/29/2005 08:46 PM
Just two weeks after a court ruling suggested that eBay was violating business model patents for online auctions and buying direct, the Patent Office has come out with an initial ruling invalidating one of the patents noting that it's an obvious idea. Of course, the patent review process is a long one, and the company, MercExchange, who owns the patent still gets a chance to respond. They also point to the recent court ruling, which seems like circular logic. The court said the patent should be considered, and the USPTO is saying the patent isn't valid. That should be the end of the equation, but MercExchange seems to think that the court trumps the Patent Office. Either way, there's a lot of money being spent on this mess -- and, if anything, this process reveals how ridiculous the system is. If the patent is invalid, why did it need to go through so many lawsuits and patent reviews to figure that out?

LexisNexis Suddenly Notices Massive Data
Security Breaches Everywhere They Look

LexisNexis Suddenly Notices Massive Data
Security Breaches Everywhere They Look 04/12/2005 06:01 AM
Funny how once the media attention for the various computer security break-ins started receiving attention, the various firms who were caught handing out your private data suddenly noticed that they'd actually been leaking data all along. Choicepoint, which was the first big one to admit a problem, later found a histo ry of leaked data. It appears they're not alone. LexisNexis, whose Seisant subsidiary wasn't particularly careful in how it kept all that data about you that you didn't realize they had (much of it, probably wrong ), decided that maybe it would be a smart move to look over some past transactions to see if this data leakage was a new problem. Turns out that it wasn't. LexisNexis is now admitting that they found not one or two more cases, but fifty-nine cases where their security was breached, opening up access to all sorts of private data (this is one of the databases the government likes to use to build profiles on people). The company is sending out letters to 280,000 people to let them know that they may have to spend the rest of their lives carefully scanning credit reports to make sure the company's own negligence didn't result in identity theft. Meanwhile, everyone's still being told that, basically, there 's nothing they can do against any of these firms that didn't seem to care about your privacy at all.

Unisys suddenly loves Linux: Should

Unisys suddenly loves Linux: Should
Linux users return that love? 08/16/2004 02:19 PM
Unisys has long been the main booster -- possibly the only one besides Microsoft -- of Windows as a mainframe operating system. Now Unisys says it loves Linux -- but still claims to be a staunch Microsoft partner -- and it seems like most of its contributions to the Linux kernel are only useful to Unisys customers. And then there's the specter of the Unisys GIF patents (now expired), and how the company used them as weapons against free and open source software projects only a few years ago. In light of all this, should we welcome Unisys as a "member of the Linux community" with open arms, or maintain a skeptical distance until the company proves that it has truly seen the open source light?

A recent National Science Foundation press release includes photos and video clips of the latest Scout emergency response robots. Scout is a small (100mm x 35mm) two wheeled, tube-shaped robot containing a video camera, IR range sensors, light sensors, pyroelectric sensors, and two-way radio links that support frequency hopping and encryption. MegaScout is a larger version that will eventually carry manipulator arms, grappling hooks, and may act as a mothership for the smaller scouts. The robots are designed to survive a six story fall or being thrown up to 100 feet into a disaster area. The Scouts are built entirely from off-the-shelf parts. The robots are being deveoped by Nikos Papanikolopoulos and other researchers from the University of Minnesota Distributed Robotics Lab, the University of Pennsylvania GRASP Lab, and the Caltech Robotics Group. More video of the robots performing amazing feats is available on the UMN website.

Cub Scout Popcorn

Cub Scout Popcorn 09/14/2004 01:28 AM

It’s popcorn time again. You may recall that last year I helped my kids set up an ecommerce site to sell popcorn for their Cub Scout pack. They wanted to understand what I did for a living and this way they got first hand experience.

This year, they’re at it again, and they’ve enhanced the site with a blog. My kids will be blogging about their experiences and what they learn while selling popcorn. The popcorn store is completely functional with payment processing provided by PayPal. Proceeds go toward Cub Scouts, with 73% of your purchase helping Scouting in Northern California. (Disclosure: The Cub Scout pack pays a small commission to my kids.)
