Did People Think No One Would Recognize REAL ID If Introduced Under Another Name?
from the pass-id,-indeed deptLast year, it became clear that REAL ID was dead on arrival as pretty much everyone was against it, and states were refusing to implement it. With the changing of the administration, it seemed like REAL ID was finally going to die completely... but apparently not just yet. EFF alerts folks to the fact that the same concept has basically been reintroduced under the name PASS ID, as if that would trick people:
Proponents seem to be blind to the systemic impotence of such an identification card scheme. Individuals originally motivated to obtain and use fake IDs will instead use fake identity documents to procure "real" drivers' licenses. PASS ID creates new risks -- it calls for the scanning and storage of copies of applicants' identity documents (birth certificates, visas, etc.). These documents will be stored in databases that will become leaky honeypots of sensitive personal data, prime targets for malicious identity thieves or otherwise accessible by individuals authorized to obtain documents from the database. Despite some alterations to the scheme, PASS ID is still bad for privacy in many of the same ways the REAL ID was.But why let that stop the gov't from coming up with more ways to keep tabs on you?

Characteristic Change
This one took only a matter of hours, but believe it or not I have changed the design one last time. Well, ok, maybe it's not the last time, but I feel good about this one.
Here is a better shot of the frames. If I had to do this over, there are a few things I would have done differently. The rails and stiles are 1-inch by 7/8ths. The 7/8ths is the width and I should have made them one and and 8th or maybe even inch and a quarter. I need to cut rabbets in them to accept the glass and it will be very tight. In fact, There is a real chance I might have to start over. I'm mentally preparing myself for that.
As for the final color, I think this is the way to go. The small clear squares will be glue chip glass. As of yesterday, the large panels in the center were going to be glue chip, and then red and blue around the perimeter. I remember now though, when I was looking at glue chip samples last week at the glass shop the owner admitted that new glue chip is not quite the same as old glue chip glass. The pattern is different enough that it is noticeable.
There is glue chip and there is also double glue chip. Both are nice, but there is something different in the way it is made now. The shop owner pulled out a large sheet and we found sections here and there that would be a good match. These isolated sections are better suited to smaller squares than a large center panel.
Another option, which I'm considering, is to put the smooth red glass in the center and the blue textured glass alternating around the perimeter with the glue chip. I like both for different reasons. Having the large red panels in the center more closely matches the big front window with its large 32-inch diameter circle of red flash glass. However, the blue glass is more obscure and so leads to better privacy.
What it may come down to is what is in stock when I go to order. I would hate to postpone the installation because I'm waiting on glass to come in. I'm hoping to be able to order glass this week. That is, if I don't completely screw these up when I cut the rabbets today.

Victory! Murky Mono Legal Issues Settled. Or Are They?
Microsoft's Community Promise
Mono, the free software implementation of .NET (C#), has been the subject of bitter debate for eight years. Yesterday, that debate ended -- or at least shifted to another level -- with Microsoft's announcement that it was extending its Community Promise to include the patents that left Mono possibly encumbered.
The debate over Mono has been complicated by accusations and irrelevancies on both sides. However, the main issue in the debate has always been the parts of the .NET Framework used by Mono that fall under ECMA standards covered by patents.
These parts include the form and interpretation of C#, which is covered by ECMA 334 specifications, and the Common Language Infrastructure, which is covered by ECMA 335 specifications.
Neither parts of .NET not implemented in Mono, such as ADO.NET, ASP.NET and Windows.Forms, nor libraries developed by Mono specifically for GNU/Linux, have ever been affected by these or any other patents, according to Mono's Licensing FAQ. However, the affected parts have been more than enough for sections of the free software community to reject Mono, or at least to treat it cautiously.
The greatest fear has been that Mono-based programs like GNOME's Tomboy or F-Spot could be the source of a patent violation case by Microsoft against some or all of the community.
In 2001, Microsoft released a letter to ECMA in which it promised that use of the patents involved would be available on request on a "royalty free and otherwise RAND 'Reasonable and Non-Discriminatory' basis."
However, as Miguel de Izaca, the founder of Mono and a Novell vice president, points out, "The problem with 'RAND' is that it doesn't say what 'reasonable' means. It has to be reasonable, but it doesn't have to be free. Microsoft stated publicly and on the ECMA committee that nobody had to pay, but they never actually went and published the license."
The result, de Icaza says, is that the promise "was considered a lie. To some people, it was a real issue, and I think that's justified. There was no letter, and I don't think anyone seriously approached Microsoft except Novell, because we're the only ones who have an implementation of .NET out there."
Now, in a single gesture, that uncertainty appears to be resolved. Microsoft's Community Promise is not recognized as a free license by either the Free Software Foundation or the Open Source Initiative, and its FAQ avoids answering whether the license is consistent with any free license.
However, the Community Promise itself is broadly permissive, excluding only those involved in bringing patent infringement cases against Microsoft. It requires no formal application, agreement, or even any reference to itself -- instead, users are automatically covered when they start to use a technology covered by the license. A potential loophole is that a partial implementation of the technologies is not covered, but that does not seem to be the case with Mono, if de Izaca is to be believed.
The initial impression is that the announcement has removed Mono from any immediate threat of patent violation, and that Mono-based applications can now be added to GNU/Linux distributions without any concerns.
Making the change
Coming after Richard Stallman's warning last week against Mono, and several months into an anti-Mono campaign in the community, the news might be seen as a direct response to pressure.
In fact, de Icaza states that discussion of the problem began "about six or nine months ago" during one of Novell's quarterly meetings with Microsoft. According to de Izaca, he approached Bob Mugalia, President, Server and Tools Business at Microsoft. When he asked him to clarify the situation as "a personal favor," Mugalia expressed surprise that no one had done so before.
"It was more a matter of a missing item on somebody's To Do list than anything else," de Izaca says. "I'm sure that someone dropped the ball. I mean, this stuff has been going on for ages."
Initially, de Izaca hoped that Microsoft would choose the Open Specification Promise, a license that gives broader protection and is written as more of a legal document than the Community Promise. However, he withdrew his objection rather than cause a longer delay while the relative merits of licenses were debated.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -- At SPACEHAB,Cape Canaveral, the SPACEHAB Double Module is the site for equipment familiarization for some STS-107 crew members inside. The crew comprises Commander Rick Husband, Pilot William McCool, Payload Commander Michael Anderson, Mission Specialists Kalpana Chawla, David Brown and Laurel Clark, and Payload Specialist Ilan Ramon. STS-107 has two payload elements, the Double Module in its first flight into space and a Hitchhiker payload. The double module provides greater experiment capability than on previous flights, resulting for this mission in a very broad collection of experiments for NASA and commercial and European customers. The experiments range from material sciences to life sciences (many rats). The Hitchhiker carrier system is modular and expandable in accordance with payload requirements, which allows maximum efficiency in utilizing orbiter resources and increases the potential for early manifesting on the Shuttle. Hitchhiker experiments are housed in canisters or attached to mounting plates. The Hitchhiker canister comes in two varieties--the Hitchhiker Motorized Door Canister and the Sealed Canisters. STS-107 is scheduled to launch in May 2002 (Photo Release Date: 09/21/2001 )

Now known as Anderson Park, this park was the first park in the City and was developed in 1938 as part of the federal Works Progress Administration. In 2008 and 2009, Anderson Park was listed on the Washington Heritage Register and the National Register of Historic Places, respectively.
Redmond City Park, also known as Albert Anderson Memorial Park, was the first park in the City of Redmond. This park was the site of the first Redmond School, the bell from which is now located on the City Hall campus in a niche on the Public Safety Building.
The land for the park was purchased in 1928 for $1 from the Redmond School District and then adjacent land was donated by Ezra Sikes and Jennie Adair Sikes. The Adair House was named for Jennie Adair Sikes and the Fullard house was named for Clarence "Clary" Fullard who maintained the park from 1954 to 1977. Mr. Fullard also helped to organize the first Redmond Fire Department.
The park contains two log cabins and a picnic shelter. In 1938, the Adair and Fullard Houses and an open-air picnic shelter were built by the Works Progress Administration which also landscaped the park and built the rockery on its perimeter. The Junior Nokomis Club (one of Redmond's first organized group of volunteers) helped fund materials for building the log cabins which were used as city offices and the first Senior Center. These structures can now be rented for gatherings.
The picnic shelter was renovated in 2011 and this renovation project is truly remarkable for its use of 1938 construction techniques and materials that shows how Redmond values and cares for buildings that are part of its heritage. Albert Anderson Memorial Park represents the support and enhancement that WPA workers and volunteers have done for the City of Redmond. In fact, Albert "Andy" Anderson was named the first Superintendent of the Park; he helped install much of today's landscaping and volunteered his time to work with the teen community.

I've been running into the following type of partition problem.
Given positive integers h, r, k, and a real number ε ∈ (0,1), find n such that if every (unordered) r-tuple from an n element set X is assigned a set of at least εk 'valid' colors out of a total of k possible colors, then you can find H ⊆ X of size h and a single color which is 'valid' for all r-tuples from H.
Lower bounds on the smallest such n can be obtained from lower bounds for Ramsey's Theorem. If k is sufficiently large, then partition the set of colors into [1/ε] pairwise disjoint sets of approximately equal size to emulate a proper [1/ε]-coloring of r-tuples. A simple pigeonhole argument shows that this is essentially sharp when r = 1 and k is large enough, i.e. one color must be 'valid' for at least nε points.
Is the Ramsey bound more or less sharp for r > 1 or are there better lower bounds? The interesting case is when k is large since the proposed Ramsey lower bound is (surprisingly?) independent of k.

I Am The Cosmos was the title of a beautiful and groundbreaking album by Chris Bell, originally recorded in the mid-1970s, but not released until 1992 - fourteen years after Bell's death in a freak automobile accident. While I Am The Cosmos is now recognized as a cult classic - the name I Am The Cosmos is now fast becoming more associated with a brilliantly talented duo from Dublin, Ross Turner and Cian Murphy.
Since their formation in 2010, I Am The Cosmos have been making considerable impression with their music. From their first release "Dislocate", they have been cautiously producing material of such quality and originality that it promised I Am The Cosmos would one day release a masterwork. And now it would appear this day has come early, with the release of their sublime debut album Monochrome. I contacted I Am The Cosmos to find out more about Ross and Cian, theri backgrounds, what brought them together, and how they wrote and recorded their brilliant debut Monochrome.
Paul Gallagher: How did you first meet and what drew you together as musicians?
Cian Murphy: 'Ross [Turner] is a drummer by trade and was involved in the Dublin music scene from quite an early age, so I was a fan of bands he played with long before we started making music together. We would meet at gigs, or he would come into where I worked and buy records and we would talk about music. There was always a mutual interest in what the other was up to musically.
'When it comes to making music, I think even though the desired outcome is the same, we do have different approaches. I would tend to be a little more gung-ho with my ideas while Ross is more restrained. There are times when Ross will tell me to keep it simple and not throw so much at a song, and he's always right! Wherever that balance is struck - that's usually where the good ideas are. There are similarities too though - we both love a good melody and wanted to explore the notion of songs being quite melodic while still being something people can dance to.'
Ross Turner: 'Cian [Murphy] and I had mutual friends growing up when we were teenagers - we lived pretty close to each other on the outskirts of Dublin. Usually bumping into each other at parties or in "discos", spending most of our time talking about very similar tastes in music. Time passed along and some growing up took place before we actually did anything together, although I think we had always wanted to do something together musically. I was gifted the amazing opportunity to work out of and run a great studio space in Dublin, the owners had moved away for a short spell. When this came up I got in touch with Cian straight away to see if he wanted to come along and mess around with some music I was working on. Just previous to this Cian had done a remix of a very early version of "Look Me In The Eye" under the name Leisure Wear. I really liked what he did with the song, so I was eager to develop something after that.
'The fact that our tastes are so similar we moved quite quickly into a process of putting tracks together.'

"Easy to install"
By Debo from Knoxville, TN
We needed to cover three windows ( 110" in width) and wanted the blinds inside the window frame not on the outside. I needed two people to help install but just for marking the holes for installing the brackets. We like them for sure but we might not have gotten the blinds that also drop from the top because there is a lot of extra string that we have to hide. I guess we really only needed blinds that rise from the bottom up. We have the only lowered the top a few times and realistically may never do that again.View this product

Editorial: Gov. Jay Inslee right to target education in state budget plan
Gov. Jay Inslee's budget priorities for education mostly hit their marks.
Seattle Times Editorial
GOV. Jay Inslee's plan to invest $1.2 billion in public education over the next two years matches his campaign promise.
Candidate Inslee pledged to invest in education, and his guidance to the Legislature deepens a critical conversation. Rebuilding the state economy begins with a 21st-century educational system for ages 3 to 23, but meeting the challenge is not only about new money but also ensuring that money is spent effectively.
Last week, the governor outlined his spending priorities for the 2013-15 budget cycle. On education, it mostly hits the proper targets.
Inslee's proposals include a $35 million expansion in the Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program. That would create space for 3,000 more preschoolers over the next two years. Currently, ECEAP has a waitlist of about 4,000 kids.
The governoralso encourages expansion of full-day kindergarten and programs ensuring students are proficient readers by third grade. Financial aid is another priority, with proposed increases in the State Need Grant, the State Work Study program and the College Bound Scholarship Program.
The governor proposes spending more on basic operations such as maintenance, supplies and school buses, a credible start toward meeting the state Supreme Court's mandate that the state pay a larger share of education.
New money for education ought to rest on a solid foundation of accountability. The state Senate has passed thoughtful reforms that help the money make a difference. They include:
• Requiring approval of school principals before teachers are assigned to their building;
• Bolstering academic supports for elementary-school students to ensure all students read proficiently by third grade;
• Automatically enrolling high-school students in advanced classes;
• Ending the harmful practice of indefinite suspensions.
These bills go a long way to improving the educational system. Inslee should encourage House members to pass them.
The governor's priorities document fails, in some areas, to link money with ongoing reforms. The recommended funding for extra school hours is not tied to Washington's goal of moving to a 24-credit graduation.
Nor does he prioritize funding for the rigorous learning standards adopted by Washington and nearly every other state. Education revenue should be inextricably linked to reform.

It's been over two months since the Faculty of 1000 poster bank was announced.
I submitted a poster, and heard nothing.
Even if it had been accepted and put on the website without my knowing it, I could probably not find it, because there is no search function on the page. I can only browse through predefined categories. I guess they are counting on users to know how to use Google's advanced search function to dig through the archive. (For the record, put "site:http://posters.f1000.com" behind your search term on Google's main page to look only through the F1000 poster bank. It's not a good solution, but it's better than guessing.)
This is starting to feel more like an advertising ploy to promote F1000 to targeted scientific societies rather than making a tool that is generally useful to scientists. I hope that I am wrong, and that the website will blossom.
But as of right now, I'm with turtle on this one.
Additional: See the comments for an update from F1000.

The help for Adobe Story (Beta) is now live!
For those who find it hard to figure why the world needs another screenplay writing software, here's the answer. Adobe Story's script to screen workflow ensures smooth transfer of metadata from your scripts to your movie clips to your DVDs. The metadata helps you reduce production time, increase efficiency, create engaging experiences, and cut costs. How wonderful is that!
For an in-depth understanding of how Story works, check out the following videos:
Accelerated Editing with Enhanced Speech Analysis in Premiere Pro CS5.
From Script to On Set Production with Adobe Story
For the next few months, you can use Adobe Story for free! I encourage every wordsmith to give it a shot. The best things in life sometimes do come for free.
A version 1.0 product is never easy, but it is remarkable what a small dedicated team can pull off when they put their heart, body, and soul into it. It is not every day that a writer gets to witness the birth of a product, pangs and all, and I consider myself very fortunate in this regard.
What a learning experience it has been! Starting with learning how to create a screenplay, to understanding the nuts and bolts of the software, to giving allowance to the software's initial idiosyncracies, it has been one wonderful trip!
Hop on to the bandwagon people! You are not going to regret this ride.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. The food is delicious, it is relatively low hassle compared to Christmas, and it falls on a Thursday, so there is always a nice long weekend to follow.
The Food
This year because of our recent travel schedule and a death in the family, our Thanksgiving is going to be pretty low key. I only made one pie this year (pumpkin) using John's grandmother's recipe which would make anyone love pumpkin pie. After watching the entire third season of the Great British Bake Off in the course of just a week I was also determined to make my own pie crust this year. I have made them from scratch in the past, but I always run into trouble rolling it out. This year it rolled out beautifully but I may have overworked it. We will see what it tastes like. I also decided to add a twist to my cranberry sauce this year so I used fresh ginger and clementine juice. I did a bit of sampling already and can confirm that it is delicious.
Thanksgiving is not Thanksgiving without stuffing--which I don't actually stuff inside the bird--I keep that cavity free for aromatics and herbs.
|Aromatic veggies and thyme for cooking the bird.
|For the gravy
I have been fantasizing for years about my dream kitchen. With any luck it will happen in 2013 when we renovate and add onto our house. For quite some time we have been convinced that we were going to get a Wolf range. But yesterday we went to look at a house that was renovated by one of the builders we are considering for our job. In that kitchen was the most beautiful range I have ever seen. It was a Lacanche and it was gorgeous.
Not only is it pretty, but because it is rather old fashioned in its engineering as well as its look, it has far fewer mechanical bits and computers than most high end ranges. My only concern was that the oven is smaller than most American ovens. Would I be able to make my Thanksgiving bird in it? So I did some measuring this morning to see. I tend to make smallish turkeys (14 pounds) but I use a rack so I was worried I might have trouble in the Lacanche. So I did some measuring this morning.
|Measuring the height of my bird (after a night of post-brining air drying in the fridge).
The Lacanche oven is only 12" high which is about 4" less than our current oven. But as you can see from the picture, the bird will fit with plenty room to spare. Plus, and this is the important part, we were already planning on having a separate standard sized wall oven in the new kitchen, so it doesn't matter so much that the Lacanche has a smaller oven.
Just look at it...
|Ours will be smaller than this, but it does show off how pretty it is.
|This is a warming compartment. Not only can you keep things warm, but you can
use for as a proving oven for things that need to rise in a warm place. And would you look at those knobs.
|This is the one we are getting, but in black. And we will get the burner configuration shown on the left.
As always, Lucy was eager to help out in the kitchen.

I've been researching my family history for quite some time (mostly online which I plan to change in the near future) and one of the most frustrating moments for me is when I come across a GREAT database or index for Oregon…..or Delaware…..or some other state/locality that I'm certain my ancestors never saw. It was one of those moments recently that gave me this idea.
The vast majority of my research is centered around two states; Florida and Tennessee. I've collected hundreds of pieces of information when I've come across one of these online gems that happens to cover my family's slice of the world. Going forward, every time I find one, I'm going to post the link here so that others might stumble across this information about our place in the world. You'll find these collections on the tab above or by clicking here.

Attention Does Not Guarantee Income
Silicon Valley criticized in the New York Times for conflating users with revenue.
The issue in both these stories is that Internet people believe getting users' attention is enough, and nobody else agrees.
There's an ancient Latin saying that translators are traitors. It has its roots in a similarity between the two words in Latin, but it's survived the ages, because even though the pun has disappeared, the meaning hasn't. Anyone who can see both sides of an issue will turn out to have divided interests. I frequently translate between geek language and business-speak in this blog, and I side with the business people on this one.
Business people can find the Web a weird, even occasionally demented place:
The past few weeks we've felt a lot like the owners of a restaurant that gets a five star review only to have the reviewer rant on about how the restaurant is planning to charge for its delicacies. Shouldn't the restaurant owner just line his walls with advertisements and be happy?
Of course, this sounds silly for an offline business but it is just as ridiculous online. The only difference is that there aren't billions of dollars lined up waiting to fund a bunch of new restaurants. No, restaurant owners are forced to deal with reality right from the start as every business should be - no matter how much capital is available in the short term.
But this "reality distortion field" was probably inevitable. History does, after all, have a silly habit of repeating itself. And so only a few short years after the bubble burst all kinds of private equity is flowing freely, elaborate parties are being held, the froth is building, and once again web companies (and web bloggers) are forgetting that to stay in business there needs to be revenue beyond investor capital and Google ads.
That's AuditoriumA, responding to reviews which praise their application but criticize it for not being free.
Here's the BoingBoing criticism of Radiohead. The part in bold is my emphasis:
Radiohead's "groundbreaking" decision to let fans choose what price to pay for 160k MP3s of "In Rainbows" was just a promotional tactic to boost CD sales, according to the band's management.
'If we didn't believe that when people hear the music they will want to buy the CD, then we wouldn't do what we are doing,' Bryce Edge of Courtyard Management told Music Week, the UK's industry magazine.
Whoah, way to ream the trust and goodwill of your entire (online) audience.
BoingBoing might have reconsidered that last part, because for me the bold sentence is only showing up in my RSS feed - I don't see it on the Web site - but there's something kind of insular about this. I think you'd have a very hard time explaining that sentence to somebody who wasn't involved in geek culture in any way. As best as I can translate, they're saying that giving music away free on the Internet with the intention of selling it later in physical reality constitutes some kind of betrayal.
As far as I can tell, that only makes sense if you assume that giving music away for free was an ideological gesture.
I'm not even sure that's what they're saying. It's just the only way I can make these numbers add up. Putting a CD in a store after you let listeners hear your music on the radio for free doesn't mean you've "reamed" anyone's trust or goodwill. If you're just Joe Music Fan Who Loves Radiohead, and you can download their album before it becomes available in stores, that sounds pretty awesome.
If, however, you're Joe Ideologue Who Doesn't Really Care About Radiohead But Is Thrilled To Have A Big Name In Music Jumping On The Free Music Downloading Bandwagon, finding out it was just a promotional ploy could indeed involve a sense of betrayal.
It adds up, I think. One thing I know for sure, it's unusual to use the metaphor of anal violation to describe a band selling their music in a store. That's the kind of genuinely insane bullshit that could only come from somebody really smart thinking some thoughts that make perfect sense but just ain't so. Whenever anyone is angry about something cool which made a lot of people happy, ideology is one of the first things to look for.
Ideologies are basically systems for converting difficult decisions into effortless knee-jerk reactions. They're very, very efficient, and they give you the power to reduce endless complex mental activity to a few simple steps, which is why they're so popular with programmers. But just because you subscribe to an ideology that says "downloading music for free makes the world better for everyone" doesn't mean you actually speak for everyone. I think it's pretty likely that Joe Music Fan Who Loves Radiohead isn't complaining about getting "reamed."
The madness in Silicon Valley isn't ideology, however. It's irrational exuberance. Irrational exuberance is easy to explain. You're fresh out of college, you got your first job without any effort or concern, and you know somebody really smart who became a millionaire for reasons that don't make perfect sense. You gloss over the reasons not making sense, because you know those same illogical forces could make you a millionaire too. What you don't know is that those same illogical forces can also hang you and everyone you know out to dry. (And by the time you've learned, there'll be a fresh batch of kids right out of college.)
Just remember, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
What's interesting is how these two strange ideas on the Web align themselves with each other. Musicians should value trust and goodwill over CD sales. Internet businesses should concern themselves with getting users' attention, not making money. These ideas are both huge in tech culture, but they're both variations on the same bullshit theme, that attention matters more than income. Let me tell you plain and simple: it isn't true.
BoingBoing's vulnerable to this fallacy because you can't be icons of a culture without picking up that culture's conventional wisdom, and if the conventional wisdom is flawed, yours will be too. The RIAA were such despicable assholes about peer-to-peer filesharing that the tech culture adopted a staunch pro-filesharing ideology in response. Silicon Valley's vulnerability, however, is essentially an economic version of NIH (Not Invented Here) syndrome.
Silicon Valley has failed to adapt to the economic innovations of open source. It is now several orders of magnitude cheaper to launch a successful technology company than it has ever been before. But venture capitalists are basically giving the same amount of money to the same amount of people, even though more people, by orders of magnitude, need less money, by orders of magnitude. This concentrated overspending is why companies in Silicon Valley buy so many toys. They have to spend it somehow.
The problem really is NIH, in an absolutely literal sense - the origins of open source are more in Massachusetts and Helsinki than Palo Alto. Although the culture of Silicon Valley encourages a free-wheeling, cryptoanarchist libertarianism, the region got its start as a tech hub through government subsidies and military research. Venture capital is actually very much oriented to big money, and presumes long, expensive manufacturing and release cycles that to a large extent are irrelevant today (or will be until the robotics boom). People in the tech culture often make fun of the entertainment industry and its total failure to adapt its big-money assumptions to economic realities which are infinitely more agile. What we very infrequently notice is that venture capitalists are making a nearly identical pig's ear of a nearly identical transformation in their own industry. They're doing exactly the same thing.
I think the real reason that Internet companies chase users rather than revenue is that Silicon Valley - or more accurately, Sand Hill Road - is still expecting long journeys to profitability, and simply can't cope with the reality that you can build something in your spare time and get it profitable all in the space of a few months. A few brave startup founders go their own way and skip the VC money, at least until they have revenue and they can call the shots; most take the easy way out. VCs are almost desperate to give out money these days - they even advertize on Google - and turning down large sums of money is hard. You get VC money with users, not revenue; and so it goes.
There are many, many times where going along with bullshit gets you into less trouble than pointing it out, but I do want to point out that this idea, that getting users' attention is better than getting their money, this idea is totally unique to the tech culture, and it's the number one reason everybody else thinks our business people are insane. With my adventures in music, art, acting and screenwriting, I spend a lot more time interacting with people outside the tech culture than the average geek, so, in classic translator/traitor fashion, I'm here to tell you their secrets. The big incredibly useful secret that people outside the tech industry know is that getting money is more useful than getting attention. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

Interesting post.ReplyDelete
There is a flipside too, a lot of users don't want to part with their money. Somehow the industry has created an atmosphere where users don't want to pay for what we produce. Can you imagine what would happen to Digg's or del.icio.us's user base if they started charging? It would be interesting to see how much they would have to charge the few users that would stick around in order to match their current revenue from advertising.
I don't buy the argument that if you make your product good enough and reasonably priced users will pay for it. Some of them might but others are more likely to move on to freer pastures, even if the grass is not as green. This in turn affects your ability to make the product reasonably priced.
Although, Television has survived pretty well using the "attention = income through advertising" model for the past 50 years. So maybe there is a worthwhile business model in there somewhere.
There's absolutely a business model, but it affects the type of services people build. Digg or del.icio.us are too "I could have done that" for anyone to pay money for it. Ads make perfect sense there. People pay for Basecamp and Blinksale. These are systems targeted at businesses, and businesses pay for them because they're worth the money.ReplyDelete

He says he has no idea of ABC Company and has nothing to do with it.
(Not a Teacher)
Not quite. I'd write it like this:
"He says he's never heard of the ABC company and has nothing to do with them (or "it")."
However, if you're dead set on keeping "no idea":
"He says he has no idea what (or "who") the ABC company is and has nothing to do with it (or "them")."
If you are wondering about the "what/it, who/them" thing, remember that it's dependent upon how you view a corporation or company, either as a single entity or a collection of people.

Three Officers Shot in Apparent Ambush
Stock Photo
Associated Press
May 11, 2010
ROSWELL, N.M. —A man accused of wounding three Roswell police officers and killing two other people had been released from jail less than two hours before the early Monday shooting spree, a detention center official said.
Chaves County Detention Center administrator Alfonso Solis said David Vega, 47, was arrested for a petty misdemeanor involving a domestic dispute shortly after 11 p.m. Sunday. Vega paid a $300 bond and was released around 12:30 a.m. Monday.
At about 2 a.m., officers responded to a domestic call at the same house and Vega opened fire on them as he came out of the home.
"It appears that he had planned some sort of ambush," police spokesman Travis Holley said.
Vega was hit when the officers returned fire, and he was flown to University of New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque. His condition was not released.
State police have him in custody at the hospital, Holley said.
The officers' wounds were "somewhat superficial" and all three are expected to make a full recovery, Holley said. Two were treated at a Roswell hospital and released, while the third remained at the hospital.
When police entered the home after the shooting, they found two dead adults. The victims were not immediately identified, but Holley said it appeared they were related to Vega.
"This investigation is very, very fresh," Holley said. "We're withholding all the names involved because it does appear to be a family situation."

For those of you that enjoy running but sometimes require a little bit of encouragement, The Exertion Games Lab at RMIT University in Melbourne has developed a drone called Joggobot. The autonomous flying bot can not only keep a steady pace, but it can also provide encouragement when you start to flag.
Joggobot is an autonomous flying quadcopter that features an on-board sensor that locks onto the pattern of a t-shirt that the runner is wearing. This allows it to fly in front of the runner, keep pace and, should you need it, give you the motivation to keep running. Its two settings allow it to either match the runner's speed or 'coach' you by setting a slightly more challenging speed.
Instead of using robots to perform tasks for us, The Exertion Games Lab believes they can be companions for physical activity. Instead of using exercise apps on your mobile phone, the creators think that a robotic companion can lead to more engaging experiences.
The Joggobot also acts and reacts to its environment and the runner, such as extreme weather conditions like wind and rain. In a press statement, the design team said: "Both the Joggobot and the jogger are affected by environmental conditions such as wind. Both's performance is affected by rain. Both get "tired" (Joggobot's speed diminishes with low battery) and with both you can hear if they invest physical effort: the jogger puffs, the Joggobot whirrs. We believe the match in focus on the body can facilitate more engaging experiences, for example joggers might "relate" more to Joggobot because it has a body, they might even develop empathy because both have a body-focused experience. This is important, as we know from sports research that social factors are key when it comes to exercising."
Unfortunately, Joggobot's battery currently only lasts around 20 minutes which isn't exactly ideal for those training for a marathon, but the team assures us that they plan to make more upgrades to the robot over the next few years.

August 01, 2007
Englewood Cliffs, N.J. - As if their summer internships weren't already challenging enough, five UCLA Anderson MBA students also took time this summer to fly to CNBC's New Jersey headquarters to participate in a new business-themed game show entitled CNBC's "Fast Money MBA Challenge."
The UCLA Anderson team, all members of the class of 2008, was comprised of Bryan Applequist, Martin Key, Umi Mehta and Nital Patel, and alternate Yatin Patel. Even though the UCLA Anderson students had never worked together before, they shared a common goal of collaboration and good fun.
"We couldn't have asked for a better set of teammates," said Bryan Applequist. "I think our different strengths and varied experience, combined with a great attitude, really made us stand out among the competition."
Hosted by CNBC's Dylan Ratigan, anchor and co-creator of CNBC's "Fast Money" and co-anchor of "Closing Bell," the "Fast Money MBA Challenge" features 32 current MBA students from eight top business schools. The competition is played in a traditional bracket format. Other participating schools include Columbia, Tuck, MIT, NYU, University of Chicago, University of Texas at Austin, and Yale.
"The show did put our financial and business knowledge to the test," said Umi Mehta. "But even if you knew the answer, the real challenge was being the first to buzz in. The show's 'hot seat' segment really put you on the spot and made you sweat."
Competitor Martin Key said that the team put a lot of time and creative thought into preparing for the show. "I was hoping to throw out some quotes from the movie Wall Street," said Key.
Nital Patel was honored to be on the UCLA Anderson team, saying "we were a really good representation of Anderson - very united and proud." She added that they were great sports, as well, making sure to express their gratitude to the producers and staff for putting on such a great event.
"Fast Money MBA Challenge" premieres on Wednesday, August 1st at 6:00 p.m. & 9:00 p.m. PT and will air on Wednesday nights leading up to the finale on Wednesday, August 22nd. To learn more, log on to mbachallenge.cnbc.com.
UCLA Anderson students will first face off against Chicago in a segment airing on August 8 at 6:00 p.m. PT. The two teams will compete head-to-head in categories that test their financial expertise as money accumulates for each correct answer in a virtual "Investment Portfolio." The fast-paced format should make for exciting viewing.
The winning team will receive $200,000, awarded by TD Ameritrade, to be divided among team members. The prize money must be used for tuition, repayment of school loans, books, room and board or other school-related expenses.
Overall, the UCLA Anderson students agreed their summer game show experience was not only a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but a lot of fun.
"I don't think any of us imagined we'd appear on CNBC this early in our careers," said Applequist. "Here I am, 26 years old and on CNBC - it is just surreal."
UCLA Anderson will host a viewing party on August 8 at 5:30 p.m. at The Parlor in Santa Monica. Students, alumni, friends, family and staff will gather to cheer on the team. For more information, click here.

I have loved the continuous coverage of the war of words between the Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams and the Prime Minister David Cameron ably supported by a legion of right wing press reporters and bloggers. It's true to say that there has been a fair amount of bishop bashing today.
Some say that religion is the cause of many a conflict, this one was started by an article the Archbishop wrote for the left leaning New Statesman magazine.
In it he questions the Conservative, Liberal Democrat coalition government, saying quite rightly, that no individuals voted for the policies that have been adopted.
Dr Williams wrote that the coalition was causing "Ëœwidespread suspicion' and was creating "Ëœanxiety and anger' in the country by introducing reforms without sufficient debate.
He accused the coalition of imposing their health and education policies at "Ëœremarkable speed'.
I don't think anyone who has read the article can be in any doubt that the Archbishop has little time for David Cameron & Nick Cleggs policies and is perhaps a little left leaning in his political outlook.
Not since Robert Runcie's numerous sparring contests with Margret Thatcher has an Archbishop dived head first into the politics of the country.
When you look back in history, there is a long tradition of the church commenting on political issues. Indeed some Archbishops have played key roles in not just politics but the monarchy before parliament was formed.
But in a modern day society, should the head of the Church of England be wading into party politics criticising the government of the day.
Leaders of minority religions aren't afraid of speaking out. Muslim leaders are often in the news giving their opinions on a wide range of topics, so for me it was good to see the leader of the Church of England give his two penneth.
I was heartened by David Cameron's response though, the dummy didn't fly out, he came back with exactly the right comments when he said that the archbishop was entirely free to express "political views" and make "political interventions". But he added: "I profoundly disagree with many of the views that he has expressed, particularly on issues like debt and welfare and education."
Whether we agree with his point of view, or like David Cameron, profoundly disagree with it, there has been a precedent set now so I expect it will not be the last time Dr Williams speaks out and criticises the government of the day.
Other CofE leaders have leapt to the defence in the wake of today's [Friday] public Bishop bashing.
The Bishop of Guildford said Dr Williams's comments were "Ëœentirely reasonable' – he said: "Government cannot at any stage simply abrogate its responsibility. One of the prime, core functions of government is the care of all in society, especially those at the bottom."
I think the tone of the Archbishop's article took government ministers by surprise. They have responded to Dr Williams's comments with Liam Fox and Vince Cable defending the claims that the government do not have a mandate to impose sever austerity measures.
I also think that Dr Williams, as a left wing sympathiser, is struggling with the concept that the Lib Dem's went into the last general election even further to the left than the Labour Party and then jumped into bed with a party way to the right of the Labour Party.
Mind you, they say that opposites attract don't they?
I admit to being quite surprised by the Archbishops political intervention.
When he has made a speech I've always thought that he was a bit wishy washy and as assertive as a field mouse.
He has hardly set the world alight with his insights into the moral's of a modern day society.
In a society where there is often a breakdown in family values, communities that are blighted by anti-social behaviour and a monumental surge toward materialism, I can't remember seeing one single hard hitting interview either broadcast or written where he has spoken out on the challenges that meet a progressive society.
He saved his biggest and harshest dig at the "ËœBig Society' and yet if done correctly, this could restore some of the values that have been lost over recent generations. I think we could do with some of the good old fashioned "ËœDunkirk Spirit' in a nation that is being ravaged by cuts and many normal Joe and Joanne's are being left jobless. And a culture shift where the public sector is being disseminated like a game of Jenga.
It looks like politics could be his new game. Maybe he has given up the traditional role as being our moral compass?
So, in summary, I'm saying to Dr Williams yes get involved in the political scene. Represent the views of your flock, be the voice of those that are the most vulnerable in our society, here I do believe that there is a cross over between religion and the state.
But have a go at putting your own house in order first eh? The Church of England is still stuck in the dark ages. There is a bloody battle being fought in an organisation that is institutional sexist, women are fighting for equality. And where gay people are afraid to declare their sexuality.
Churches are losing their flocks in large numbers. The only churches that are booming are those with an ethos like the Breathe City Church here in Stoke-on-Trent.
They are supporting, helping and fixing communities. They are inclusive of gender and sexual orientation. They have progressive and moral leaders. Their numbers are shooting through the roof mostly at the expense of the traditional churches.
So you have a bit of a job on there Dr Williams, there is work to be done in your own palaces, cathedrals and churches before you march upon Westminster.
