    Last night, my Tsunami Warning System consisted of one piece of technology: ForecastFox, a Firefox extension that puts a few little live icons showing current weather conditions on my bookmarks toolbar, right there in the browser where I can see it. It updates periodically, and a little rectangular pop-up fades in and out unobtrusively (unless…

    Interesting. Two days in a row, once on the old blog and once on the new, my post on the Jorge Cortell situation has attracted comments by individuals claiming that he has been discredited as some sort of fraud who faked his credentials. Of course, the comments have exactly the same text as their lead,…

    Notre Dame, Paris 2004 by Ryan Sholin I’ve added a little Photography page to the sidebar with links to my stuff on Photo.net and Flickr. I’m in the process of painstakingly copying all the stuff I have on the old Kodak ofoto site onto Flickr…because I lost all the scans when my hard drive died…

    Sales pitch to China: Hey, have some Capitalism – yeah it’s good stuff, Free Market it up baby, yeah, you can be our most-favored trading partner, alright? How’s that sound? Great, terrific, maybe we can buy a few of your companies as soon as they get big enough to be useful to competitive with us,…

  • Thinking Out Loud About The Postindustrial Workforce

    A bit of idealism about a postindustrial workforce: With the lack of jobs in conventional fields like manufacturing and agriculture, globalization and computerization have drawn us further into two polarized spaces: the paper-pushers of the world and the burger-flippers of the world – no, of America, really – that’s what I want to talk about…

    There’s just one thing: all of this advice could (and should) easily be flipped on its head and delivered to the Press.

    Here’s what I see: bias in American media does not run strictly Left and Right; media bias is either pro-establishment or anti-establishment, regardless of who sleeps in the White House.

    *Pierre Teilhard de Chardin? This morning, I was listening to the pReboot podcast of Robert Scoble being interviewed by Nicole Simon. (mp3) It’s been fun playing the “keeping up with Scoble” game since he spoke at SJSU last February…yeah, yeah, I got Scobleized. The best part is listening to his schtick ideas evolve over time…

    Unofficial audio guides for the MoMA in NYC. Awesome – it’s mp3s of discussions about individual artworks – load ’em on the listening device of your choice, kick it over to the Museum, and hear real live human beings talk about the paintings, without the stuffy museum-ness of paying for the headphones/listening to the same…
