I have to give this a much closer read, but Curious Yellow: The First Coordinated Worm Design is quite intriguing. And scary. Could someone hijack the global mind? (via aaron swartz)

Google news changed their layout a few weeks ago. I cursed the new style, without ever looking for a link to a less graphically intense version. Of course such a link is right there on the front page. Excellent. Now I have my news back the way I like it.

The bad news is that rumors predict google is going to charge for this at some point in the future.

Canon's new professional 11 megapixel camera compared with the "old" (heh!) 6 megapixel monster. How high will it go?

Wow. This protest thing is really taking off. Another long meeting tonight. It's amazing to watch these people go. They really know what they are doing. It's like a crash course in how to have a meeting.

Assuming the GPRS network is working, I'm planning some serious live coverage of this event. Might be kind of fun.

One more long day tomorrow, and then we're off at 7:00 am Saturday. I'll start broadcasting right away. (Or is that narrowcasting?) In any case, stay tuned.

So you mean if I just update to the most recent (december 2001) iMac firmware version (2.4f), my dead monitor will come back to life? Yup. It's true.

Not sure how I missed this crucial bit of information, but I'm sure glad to have found it.


Behold! A fully operational deathst... er, iMac.

Peter Rojas breaks the open spectrum party line to the masses in today' new york times (page g7, "what's next") This is the easy to understand version of the stuff David Reed (extensively quoted in the article) has been preaching for some time. Short summary: wireless radio spectrum is not limited. In fact, with the right hardware in place, data carrying capacity increases as the number of wireless devices in a given area increases. This is promised land type stuff.

I'm writing this from my mobile (and I'd sure like some more bandwidth) so I won't include links right now, but you could search my page for 'reed' or 'mesh' or 'ad-hoc' and find lots of stuff if you are curious.

Had a nice dinner with my step sister last night. She turned me on to this information packed site on downtown NYC her company helped build. Lots of information in there (click on downtown guide from the front page.)
