What a nice bunch of kids!







What a nice bunch of kids!

What a nice bunch of kids! 03/13/2003 10:25 AM

The Radisson I'm staying at in Austin has a single meeting room set up with ethernet Net access. So, last night after the excellent EFF party, which I left as soon as the band started up and all conversation ended, I went there to pick up my email. It was about midnight and a handful of 20ish guys were there, along with one similarly-aged woman. The guys turned out to be the band "Trouble Is" who were on their way to LA to play a gig at the Troubador (I think). I've never heard of them, of course. But what...

MP3 Players Aren't Just For Kids; In
Fact They're Barely For Kids


MP3 Players Aren't Just For Kids; In
Fact They're Barely For Kids
12/19/2004 03:47 PM
The common bit of wisdom is that MP3s are a young person's technology. It's the teens and the folks just coming out of college that are the MP3 generation, after all, so they'd be the most likely to own an MP3 player, right? Not at all, apparently. A new study says that 90% of MP3 player owners over 34 years old. While this may have something to do with the high price of many of the best MP3 players, the numbers still don't seem right. It would be interesting to see the methodology behind this study. That's not to say that those over 34 aren't likely to own an MP3 player, but it's hard to believe that 90% of MP3 players go to those 35 and older.

Presents For Bad Kids Head To eBay,

Presents For Bad Kids Head To eBay,
Rather Than Kids
12/27/2004 04:42 AM
Well, normally, people wait until after they've received presents to dump them on eBay. However, one father who felt his three sons were being particularly bad lately decided that to punish them he's putting their presents up for sale on eBay. To be honest, this sounds like a bit of a publicity stunt -- and it seems likely that, now that this is getting attention, that casino that seems to be buying e very random quirky auction item will snap this one up. Update: Whoops. It's apparently already happened. Indeed, the casino in question has d ecided to buy the undelivered presents. This is sort of an update on our story last year about how sellers were increasingly looking to use eBay as a publicity generating tool. It appears that's now being used by buyers to generate publicity, as well.

Microsoft, SAP And A Whole Bunch Of

06/07/2004 01:56 PM
Well, the press certainly loves this story for the headline alone, but the details are a bit less than exciting. Everyone seems to be rushing out stories about how Microsoft and SAP had some merger talks last year, but gave them up when they felt that the deal would be fairly complex (you think?) and would have integration difficulties. Companies examine the idea of merging with other companies on a fairly regular basis - and most of those conversations go nowhere (fast). This seems to be just one of those types of situations, which is just getting attention due to the names involved. It doesn't sound like the conversations ever got that far along (and you can imagine that antitrust folks would had a field day if they had).

Hey Symantech your a bunch of Idiots 04/01/2005 03:24 PM

I have been having this periodic problem with Norton Antivirus 2005 when I start the computer or loaded a word document windows would appear like a program was trying to load. I thought it was spyware or something. Turns out it is a bug in Norton Antivirus 2005 and here is what I found.

I was getting the message in a popup dialog box that said. "Norton Antivirus 2005 does not support repair feature reinstall Norton" , so I do that and the problem goes away.

Then a couple of days later it pops up again. I go to the Symantec support site and here is the solution to the issue and I am red in the face.

This message can happen if you have changed the default location for the Norton AntiVirus shortcuts in the Windows Start Menu. The default locations of the shortcuts are:

In Norton AntiVirus installed as part of Norton SystemWorks:

\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Norton SystemWorks\Norton AntiVirus
\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Norton SystemWorks Premier\Norton AntiVirus

Here is what that all means you are forced to have it on the main Program line. What a bunch of idiots. I like my program bar nice and organized no sole program gets to be on the main program line everything is in neat categories..

I'm moving to England and selling off a
bunch of stuff
02/17/2004 11:47 AM
I've got a lot of changes coming up in my life this year. At the end of the month, I'm starting a one-month leave-of-absence from EFF, and I'll be going off to Toronto to finish my next novel, "Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town."

Then, starting on April 1, I'll be heading off to London, England, to work for Creative Commons and EFF on a variety of projects:

  • Responding to the EUIPR enforcement directive in Brussels
  • Participating in the DVB standards-body in Geneva
  • Working with large-scale UK open licensing projects
  • Representing EFF at WIPO in Geneva
It's really exciting (and I'm really frazzled!), and, in answer to some common questions:
  1. No, I'm sorry, I just don't have any time for dinner, drinks, lunch, coffee or meetings before I leave San Francisco. Every moment is spoken for. I'd love to see you at one of my book-signings, and there's a chance that I'll throw a party before I go (watch this space for details).
  2. I have a little bit of time in Toronto to hang out, but first priority is going to be finishing my novel (which, have I mentioned, is due at the end of March, eek!), seeing my family, and spending quality time with my closest friends. I'll be working out what days I have free time on after I touch down, and I'll post something here once I've got that sorted out.
  3. I would love to talk to you about EFF's plans in Europe, and/or socialize in London. Please drop me an email after April 2, once I'm off my leave-of-absence, and we'll sort something out!
Anyway, the other reason for this post is to let you know that I'm selling off a bunch of stuff that I'm not storing or shipping:
  • A deco table lamp
  • An iPod
  • An iMic
  • A bull-skull
  • An iBook stand
  • A fax machine/scanner/printer
  • A Metro shelving unit
  • A two-tub washing machine
  • A queen-sized bed and frame (comfiest bed I ever slept in)
  • A machine-washable rubber keyboard
I've put up a blog where I've listed all this stuff with prices, descriptions and pictures. I'll be adding a few more items tonight if I get the chance:
  • A city bicycle
  • Two Sony Dream Machine clock-radios
  • An oil-filled radiator
It's all as-is/final/pickup in San Francisco (no shipping, sorry!). Check out the blog for more details: Link

Democratic Party party 04/27/2004 11:36 AM
Quite an action-packed day yesterday. I did two keynotes, at two separate events. After the second one, I went back to the first event, a gathering of about 125 people who run libraries and museums, because I'm trying to write some stuff about metadata and taxonomies. I learned, for example, that one well-known art museum has had to create over 300 new Dewey Decimal categories for illustrated manuscripts ... and one for astrology. Afterwards, I went to a cocktail party put on by the hosts of the second event. It was quite the power party. I got to chat for...

I'm trying out the Party Shuffle feature in the new iTunes, and I'd have to say it's a major improvement over the regular shuffle play. Even when I am not throwing a party. (Okay, I'd admit it. I seldom throw parties.) The user-interface is great.
What I like, especially, is the ability to add tunes to my party shuffle from the library.
Of course, I suspect there may be ever a slight decrease in my productivity when I am party-ing with iTunes while working... :-)
Disclaimer: I'm trying out iTunes on my Windows XP machine, but I suspect there will not be any difference on iTunes for Mac.

Welcome Mail.app to the Party


Welcome Mail.app to the Party 04/09/2004 04:05 PM
I have on several occasions dissed the Mac OS X email client “Mail.app” fairly heavily in this space. I finally got myself smoothly integrated with the Sun VPN, and I must report that the latest release of Mail.app is now handling both my email lives (Sun and Textuality) smoothly, efficiently, and with no fuss. The spam filtering is failing a bit under the pressure, but is still pretty darn good; and the filtering and styling and threading and so on is really about all you could wish for. Another reason to think about migrating to OS X.

Sorry I missed the party


Sorry I missed the party 05/14/2004 12:17 PM

While evereyone else was out partying last night (Acteva also had a party) I was working to change the world - bringing DLAs to the masses.

More on my efforts later.

But for now - congrats to Ev and Jason.  I wonder if Orkut was there?

Smells like 1999.

Last night I attended the Blogger relaunch party at SF’ 26Mix. It was a pretty cool bash - and I mean the food, the music and the locale were pretty trendy. What struck me was the names and faces from the past, those who had become party regulars were all in full force. Jay Shellen, Evan Williams and a whole bunch of Blogger gang were in attendance, and so were the folks behind Craigslist, Newsmonster, Feedster and of course the queen of valley gossip, Chris Nolan. James and James of AmIhotornot were in attendance as well.

It reminded me of the parties in 1999 when the dotcom madness was in full swing. Lately I have been getting more of these party invites and there seems to be a certain buzz, back in the air. The rentals in San Francisco are inching up slowly, the traffic on Highway 101 is turning into a weebit of a nightmare, and even magazines are trotting out some familiar names. My magazine for instance has a story on Mary “Queen of the Net” Meeker, Nick Denton of Gawker Media. and a couple of others. Wired is having a NextFest. What makes it more like 1999, is the fact that a whole lot of journalists are talking about “blogging” as their salvation (which may or may not be true!) and quitting their jobs to do something with “blogs.” Back in the day, they were talking about web as their escape key. I think the hype machine around blogs is in high gear, and while it might make some like Rafat Ali or Nick Denton very rich, there is little or no hope for many of us.

In short, it smells and feels like 1999. Let the party begin - free vodka and canapes, hell I am not complaining.

Party in My Pants 03/08/2004 11:23 PM
I'll admit it. There are nights that I want to feel "a little special, naughty, and very sexy." But I'm not clear on how a pair of size 34 Minnie Mouse underpants makes that happen. (03-04)

Party and Politics | MFA 02/16/2004 10:43 PM
http://www.musicforamerica.org/party In his most recent State of the Union address, President Bush declared that governmnet "must work to counter the negative influence of the culture." Here at Music for America, we believe that it's up to us -- artists, bands and fans -- to use our culture to counter the destructive policies of this government. It's time to bring the party back to politics

Ooooh, the Christmas party last night...surprisingly enough was amazing. Right now, Skate Canada is on the verge of pissing me...

Why danah didn't come to the party


Why danah didn't come to the party 02/12/2004 03:20 PM

Here's the picture that offended so many of the leading bloggers. Man these people are seriously uptight. Marc says he never pulled it. Right on. [Scripting News]

The cool thing about being at a conference where many of the people attacking you are here in meatspace - is that you can clarify and find out "what the hell it was that offended people do much?"

So when I talked to Cory (just now) he informed me that what really ticked off danah - was that the photo didn't necessarily present an appealing an environment for women to go and party.

The funny thing is that when I brought up danah's complaints to these women who were at the party (admittedly NOT from our industry or world) they broke out in laughter!  "What sort of hangup does she have?" they asked.

I expalined that danah was a young, brilliant researcher - who had worked with V-Day and other women's issues - folks understood why danah night be upset.

But that doesn't mean that women don't have fun at parties doing all sorts of crazy things.  In fact I could have SWORN I saw danah last night...... [oooops I'm telling no tales....]

I'm just saying I posted that photo for folks to 'think' that the party would be fun. If danah didn't, then guess what? - she didn't have to come.  And she didn't.

:-)

The GOP is the Party of Corruption


The GOP is the Party of Corruption 12/30/2004 05:00 AM
Let's not ever think that the Republicans in power in Congress are slowed down by foolish concerns like, say, ethical behavior. A few weeks back, the House Ethics Committee made some ineffectual slaps at the conduct of Tom DeLay, surely...

Party like it's 1892


Party like it's 1892 01/05/2005 10:28 PM
Party like it's 1892! "Executive power and patronage have been used to corrupt our legislatures and defeat the will of the people, and plutocracy has thereby been enthroned upon the ruins of democracy."* In the late 1800s, the Popul ist Party, or People's Party, formed to merge the Farmers Alliance message of economic empowerment for growers with the Knights of Labor's movement to check the growing power and corrupt practices of big business (along with the Greenbacks Party critiques of monetary policy). With a strong base in the midwest and south, the party earned 9% of the 1892 popular vote, won the presidential electoral votes of four states (not to mention electing 10 congressmen, 5 senators, 3 governors, and 1,500 state legislators). However the party's power quickly faded as the Democratic Party co-opted much of the Populist platform while internal disputes culminated in the Populists placing the Dems' 1896 nominee at the head of their own ticket. Nevertheless, the populist movement's influence continued to be felt through various 20th century reforms including direct election of senators, presidential term limits, and abandonment of the gold standard.

What's Party Shuffle?


What's Party Shuffle? 04/29/2004 06:56 PM
A song can be repeated twice, back to back. Not a huge problem, but something annoying that Apple might think about fixing. The queueing system works great, otherwise. By Tito Jankowski, TheMacMind (via MyAppleMenu)

GOP: God's Own Party


GOP: God's Own Party 07/19/2004 09:56 AM
In their incredibly specific partisan appeal to God, it took an amazing amount of self-control for the Presidential Prayer Team not to damn John Kerry and the Democrats to Hell.
