Another Net Hoax for the Ages

Another Net Hoax for the Ages 06/28/2004 10:06 AM

Mercury News: `Pla in Layne' and Odin Soli: an Internet hoax. Now the person behind Layne has come forward and admitted that it was all an elaborate hoax. Odin Soli -- a 35-year-old male entrepreneur and writer, married with two children and living near St. Paul, Minn. -- said he created Layne as an experiment in ``interactive fiction.''

Remember the Kaycee Nicole story. This one has a weirdly familiar ring. One lesson: Don't believe everything you read, especially when you can't confirm the identity of the writer.

Uru: Ages Beyond Myst is coming to the Macintosh, according to Cyan Worlds founder Rand Miller. The news comes in an open letter to the Myst community regarding the fate of Uru: Live, a subscription based online world set in the Myst universe. Miller's open letter was ostensibly to announce the cancellation of Uru: Live, an online multiplayer game. But towards the end of his letter, Miller stated "And there's more good news on inclusivity. I'm pleased to officially announce that the Mac version of Uru is finally under way."

The Mobility Denial System is an oil-slick-in-a-can, a combination of "Drilling Mud Additive, Flocculent and water" that renders surfaces as slippery as wet ice. Lots of tasty acronyms and buzzwords on the sell page, including "Anti-Traction Material (ATM)" and "Non-Lethal Slippery Foam."

Once applied, the material will degrade or impair the adversary's ability to move. For Interior applications it can be applied to flat, smooth, non-porous surfaces such as linoleum, tile, wood floors or staircases. Exterior applications include sloped, rough, porous surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, and grassy areas.

Riding the Rails 07/25/2004 09:09 AM

David Heinemeier Hansson has published the first release of Rails, his MVC implementation for Ruby. Rails is the system David developed to power BaseCamp, the 37 Signals project management app. David had previously released Active Record, his O-R mapping layer for Rails, which is the slickest method of database access I've ever seen, so I'm excited to see what his MVC implementation looks like.

We heard David speak at "The Building of BaseCamp" ,and he's a pretty impressive guy. Most of the folks I've heard from with his level of skill have been employees of Microsoft or Sun.

Bore Riders are a strange breed of inland surfers, catching periodic tidal surges (pic) that can carry them for miles upriver. Surf the English countryside, France's Bordeaux region, the freezing waters of Alaska's Cook Inlet, the Amazon jungles, or China's Silver Dragon, the largest tidal bore in the world.

Busted in Tokyo for riding Segway

Busted in Tokyo for riding Segway 02/10/2004 02:51 AM

Japan Today

Friday, February 6, 2004 at 14:00 JST

TOKYO - Tokyo police sent papers to prosecutors Thursday on a businessman over use of the U.S.-made Segway scooter vehicle on a public road, an unusually strict move that marks the first time in Japan that police have taken action over people riding the two-wheeled novelty.

The police allege that the 42-year-old president of an import company in the capital's Setagaya Ward violated the Road Traffic Law by having a person drive a Segway on a public road in July last year for advertising purposes.

Last year I tried to get the government to relax its regulations to allow people to ride Segways, but they wouldn't. I gave up the idea. I actually know this guy and he was insistent that he could build a business importing Segways. I guess not. This is pretty "unusually strict" but the police hate it when you make money doing stuff that they don't approve of.

Thanks for the link Chris

Leave your crack at home if riding the T 06/08/2004 03:26 PM
Starting in July police will begin searching subway riders at random in Boston, according to this article.  I've always like the T because it is one of the few dog-friendly mass transit systems in the U.S.  Probably best to leave at home anything that you don't want the police to find, however.  It isn't clear how effective this is going to be as a security measure.  Just as we often see airport security folks taking apart 85-year-old grandmothers the Boston police say "the planned searches will randomly pick out riders and are not aimed at singling out anyone".
