Abe’s notes on the iPhone
Thursday, July 5th, 2007
I really wasn’t going to post anything else about the iPhone, at the very least until I use one myself. But Abe’s notes are very good, if you’re at all interested in seeing an critical look at the interface design of this product.
Interesting notes about the non-tactile buttons. One complaint I’ve heard is […]
Beyond the iPhone: getting off the grid
Monday, July 2nd, 2007
(Above: Nokia 800 running Linux)
A friend of mine bought an iPhone this weekend, and I can now safely say I wouldn’t buy one, even if I had the money. She dropped $600 on the thing, but now can’t use it for anything (except emergency calls) - no music, no PDA, nothing - until her current […]
Straight Talk: Videotaping Police
Thursday, June 28th, 2007
Last month, Brian Kelly of Carlisle, Pa., was riding with a friend when the car he was in was pulled over by a local police officer. Kelly, an amateur videographer, had his video camera with him and decided to record the traffic stop.
The officer who pulled over the vehicle saw the camera and demanded […]
The Hilary Soprano clip
Wednesday, June 27th, 2007
Douglas Rushkoff thinks the Hillary Soprano ad fails because:
Hilary Clinton put herself in the role of Tony Soprano. He is a sociopath and a killer, willing to do anything for power. Why would a candidate present herself in such a role? […] Hilary and Bill Clinton have just made sure we equate Hilary’s ambitions and […]
Social network wars - Facebook & class, Myspace & music, and Friendster’s not yet yet.
Wednesday, June 27th, 2007
I’ve been meaning to comment on Abe’s comments on my Myspace vs. Friendster post, but now comes along something else interesting:
Viewing American class divisions through Facebook and MySpace by danah boyd.
This is well done and interesting. I’ve got nothing to argue with here, per se. But what’s interesting to me is that Facebook has only […]
Giuliani’s thugs arrest reporter. Sign of things to come?
Wednesday, June 6th, 2007
Here’s what freedom of press will look like under the Manhattan Mussolini. So Lepacek is a crank? Bit of a nutter? Fine. But does arresting members of the press (or even hecklers) remind you of anyone?

The Obama 1984 ad
Wednesday, March 21st, 2007
Update: I have since changed my opinion of Obama.
This video is pretty representative of Obama’s support. It may help get his base pumped, but does nothing to convince me that he’s actually better. His supporters love him and hate Clinton, but the reasoning is fairly unclear. Mostly, it seems, because he’s much cooler. […]
Warren Ellis’s Black Summer
Wednesday, March 21st, 2007
Warren Ellis is writing a comic about a super hero who kills the president.
Oh, Ellis. He’s so shocking and confrontational. How can you push super hero ethics any further? Oh I know, maybe he could make a comic where a super hero kills thousands of innocent people in order to unite the whole world against […]
Blogging where speech isn’t free
Tuesday, March 13th, 2007
Ethan Zuckerman:
My friend Jon Lebkowsky put together a really excellent group for our panel at SXSW. The panel focused on the challenges of blogging in countries where there’s no reasonable expectation of freedom of speech. On stage, we had Shava Nerad from Tor, Rob Faris from the Open Net Initiative, Shahed Amanullah of altmuslim.com, and […]
So long, Captain America
Thursday, March 8th, 2007
You may have heard already, but Captain America is dead.
I haven’t really cared about comic book character deaths since Superman died when I was a kid, but this is a little different. Marvel killed the character off as part of a protest of the Bush administration’s policies: “Marvel says the comic story line was […]
We were always at war with Persia
Friday, March 2nd, 2007
Does anyone else find the timing of the release of 300, a movie portraying Persians as inhuman monsters, ironic?
I can’t seem to find any stills of the Persians in the movie look like, but in the trailer I saw they looked like black, deformed beasts (sort of like the Orcs from the first LOTR movie).
A […]

Joshua Ellis raising funds for Kilimanjaro trip
Tuesday, October 31st, 2006
Journalist Joshua Ellis is looking for funding for his follow-up to his Trinity story. He’ll be traveling to Tanzania to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and documenting the entire trip. Instead of relying on a publisher to finance his trip, he’s looking for micropatrons to finance the trip, and then releasing the whole project for […]
AllofMP3 goes ad supported
Wednesday, October 18th, 2006
Well, AllfofMP3 is the first semi-legit non-DRM music downloading service to go fully ad supported. We’ll see how long they last - they’re under heavy pressure right now. Since AllofMP3 is able to operate at relatively low margins, it will be easy for them to stay in business if they don’t get shut […]
Attensa previews versions 1.5, announces partnership with Six Apart
Tuesday, May 16th, 2006
Attensa (my employers) are previewing Attensa for Outlook 1.5 at Syndicate today (see the announcement here). I’ve been testing 1.5 and I have to say, it’s really cool. The AttentionStream™ technology is still young, so don’t expect miracles, but I’m already finding it useful. In the mean time, there’s 1.2 which we’ve […]
