07/19/2004 06:48 PMAP - Defibrillators that jump-start a stopped heart may save lives in
airports and shopping malls, but few people keep them at home in case
of collapse — even though that's where most cardiac arrests
occur.

Guns and jets
Guns and jets
03/08/2004 11:03 PMMy friend Brad, a jet pilot with heroic
flying skills, graciously agreed to help me with the
Commercial maneuvers and precision landings today. We hauled
N505WT out of its hangar and headed out to Worcester with the GPS
turned off and the gyro-stabilized compass covered up. Flying
along at 2500' it was actually a bit tough to pick out landmarks from
the VFR chart. After 10 landings we decided it was time for some
of the free cookies that they bake at the Worcester FBO (airplane gas
station) so we taxied into the ramp. The scene was one of utter
desolation. The main terminal building looked empty. The
last scheduled airline flights from Worcester ceased about one year
ago. The general aviation area contained a small collection of
cheap piston-powered airplanes (like mine!). At Bedford,
N505WT's home airport, there is always at least $300 million of
private jets on the ramp, waiting to take hard-working public
corporation executives from golf game to weekend house. The
woman behind the desk confirmed that not a single jet had landed at
Worcester all day.
As we were starting up N505WT a good-sized business jet was taxiing
in. A van drove up to meet the passengers at the side of the $10
million twin-turbojet-powered plane. "What luxury!" we
thought. "This is the only way to travel. They're probably
just back from a resort in Mexico." A couple of guys got out of
the van and walked around the plane wearing guns. Security for
someone important! The one passenger got out, a teenager wearing
a rather plain jumpsuit. Then we noticed that his legs were
chained together...
Yet another thing that America's richest and poorest citizens
share: traveling by private jet.
Oh yes, speaking of guns. A friend from the MIT Media
Lab sent around a home video yesterday. It seems that he
has put the filmmaking skills that he learned there to good use and
has made effective use of the Internet in distributing his
creation. Click right on the following link and then "Save
Target As" before playing from your own hard disk in a separate player
window (100 or 200% size is best): boyhood
dream.
Twenty years ago people talked about Arpanet/Internet leading to an
explosion in video creativity and distribution but it just wasn't
practical with the available bandwidth and percentage of consumers
hooked up. Today all the pieces are in place.

Do high schools make sense in an age of
jets and Internet?
Do high schools make sense in an age of
jets and Internet?
07/13/2004 07:02 PMI've recently finished up the school year doing volunteer tutoring
in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts's most expensive (and one of the
worst-performing) public high schools, right across the street here in
Cambridge. Simultaneously I've been reading some articles about
the most expensive high school ever built in the United States, the
$286 million Belmont Learning Center in Los Angeles (b
ackground article). I'm beginning to wonder if the idea of a
local public high school isn't just a leftover habit from the 19th
century when international travel was expensive and time-consuming and
telecommunications did not exist.
Suppose that you had a 16-year-old named Johnnie and the $14,000
per year that the local school district will spend to keep him
occupied for a year. If there were no Boeing 747s, cheap
telephones, or Internet you might want to send him to a nearby
school. But for less than $2000 we can send that kid anywhere in
the world and bring him back for Christmas and Spring Break. For
a few cents per minute we can pick up the phone and talk to our kid
regardless of where he happens to be.
Hmm... maybe we can send Johnnie to China for one year. He
will go to an elite private boarding school and learn Mandarin,
probably the most useful language for business, aside from English,
for the foreseeable future. With the money left over from the
$14,000 after subtracting for airfare and school fees we can send
Johnnie on a backpacking tour around Australia during his summer
break. Next year, because Johnnie was never that great at math,
maybe we'll send him to India to be tutored 1:1 by a math PhD (compare
to being one of 25 students in a classroom led by a teacher only
slightly ahead of the better students). The $12,000 we have left
over after paying for airfare is more than the salary of a professor
at the Indian Institute of Technology, one of the world's finest
universities. So Johnnie can also learn how to manage a few
servants and maybe play some polo. For Johnnie's last year
before college maybe it would be good if he learned fluent Spanish and
got to know our neighbors in Latin America. So we send him off
to Argentina or Mexico to attend one of their finest private
schools.
Wouldn't Johnnie be a lot better prepared to distinguish himself
among college applicants with such an education? And better
prepared to get a job in a global economy? Maybe the best option
to settle the debate over what kind of high school is best is "no high
school".

Marc Newson's Kelvin 40: Personal Jets
Revisited
07/05/2004 04:07 PM
You
have to respect a man who, having grown tired of the staid state of
modern aviation, tries to breathe a little life back by designing his
own personal jet. The 'Kelvin 40' doesn't fly, exactly, as designer
Marc Newson isn't an engineer, but just because it doesn't fly doesn't
mean it couldn't. Wind tunnel tests show the aluminum and
carbon fiber jet could, as far as the airfoil surfaces are concered,
stay up just fine, provided it had a working jet engine (and controls,
and, you know, everything else). The culmination of a two year project
for Fondation Cartier For Contemporary art, the Kelvin 40 is currently
waiting in a special hanger at the Groniger Museum.
