 BREAKING SURF

BREAKING SURF Sometimes, the incredible can't be understood until it happens. Regardless of the magnitude of the tragedy - especially in light of last year's tsunami or the recent stampede in Baghdad that killed nearly 1,000 - the inundation of New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina inspires sheer awe. The US is an advanced nation - natural disasters happen, sure, but Americans clean up, fix up, and get on walking on sunshine. They don't lose cities. But bad things happen to coastal cities below sea level in hurricane zones. Last fall, Natural Hazards Observer printed a terribly prescient analysis of what might have happened had Hurricane Ivan hit New Orleans. It reads like a news report today: broken levees; 20-foot-deep floods in some parts; evacuation problems. The analysis estimates that it will take nine weeks to pump New Orleans dry, and even questions the worth of rebuilding the city. For current info, try Wikipedia which, among a feast of info, tells us that this is the first time martial law has been declared in the US since World War II.Natural Hazards Observer: http://www.colorado.edu/hazards/o/nov04/nov04c.html Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Katrina Michael Yon is a freelance journalist attached to a US Army unit in Iraq. He accompanies patrols on the streets of Mosul. He writes about one such patrol, during which the American soldiers spotted a suspicious car. The car took off and the soldiers gave chase. The chase ended in a firefight in a cramped Mosul alleyway, with Yon not only in the middle, but a participant. He managed to snap a few photos under fire, and after his own assault. His photos complement his account of the frenzied action. Yon is one of those independent journalists who publish on the Internet, funded through donations. His style is a bit over the top - think Tom Clancy on too much caffeine - but the events are certainly dramatic and the stories compelling. Certainly, this account is worth reading. His entire blog makes a good bookmark for those interested in what it's like on the ground with the troops. http://michaelyon.blogspot.com/2005/08/gates-of-fire.html New and Old Iraqi Constitutions The Iraqi parliament has approved a new constitution, and the rest of the country will vote on Oct. 15 to approve or reject it. The Iraqi Sunni negotiators have rejected the document out of hand and Sunni leaders are urging their fellows to vote against the new constitution's acceptance. If two-thirds of voters reject the document in any three provinces, the referendum fails, and although Sunnis make up only a fifth of Iraq's population, they dominate in four provinces. An AP article at the Guardian has that nifty tidbit. The BBC has a PDF copy of the new Iraqi constitution, and it might be fun to compare it with the Constitution of the Kingdom of Iraq (CKI), written in 1925 with the consent of the British Foreign Office. We wonder if the various modern parties might find that document useful.Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-5239570,00.html BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/bsp/hi/pdfs/24_08_05_constit.pdf CKI: http://www.geocities.com/dagtho/iraqiconst19250321.html Intel Introduces New Chip Architecture Last week, Intel introduced a new processor architecture and plans for a raft of new chips to be sold next year. The company has shifted focus from the quest for clock speed to pushing up its performance per watt ratio. This is clearly the way to go since the majority of processor sales these days find their way into the limited platforms of mobile devices and laptops. Intel showed off three processor lines, each designed for a different application. The Merom processor line is meant for notebook computers, Conroe for desktops, and Woodcrest for servers. In addition to Intel's press release, you can read CEO Paul Otellini's keynote at the Intel Developer Forum, where he introduced the new architecture. CNET has several stories on the announcement and other recent Intel moves, including the announcement of the Viiv home-entertainment PC, designed to ship with Microsoft's Media Center software and to be as simple to use as a TV or stereo.Press release: http://www.intel.com/pressroom/archive/releases/20050823corp.htm Keynote: http://www.intel.com/pressroom/kits/events/idffall_2005/20050823otellini.pdf CNET: http://news.com.com/2009-1001_3-5841412.html Viiv: http://www.intel.com/pressroom/archive/releases/20050824comp.htm Google's most recent products feed growing fears that the search-engine company wants to dominate desktop real estate. Google Talk is what everyone's talking about. It's a free way to chat, verbally or with instant messaging (IM). Google Talk uses the Jabber/XMPP protocol, which means that it can mesh with a selection of other IM clients - a must for Mac OS X and Linux users, who can't use Google Talk at the moment. Google Desktop, meanwhile, isn't new but Google has spiffed up this second version. The software indexes files on your hard drive for easy retrieval, working unobtrusively in the background. As you get new stuff, Google Desktop indexes it in seconds. It doesn't handle every file type, but plug-ins expand its capability. So far, there are versions in seven languages. Note that if you share a computer, you might want to use a password to protect your own account to ensure that your stuff doesn't get sucked up by a fellow user's mega-index. These two apps give Google even more heft in the competitive online world. Google Talk: http://www.google.com/talk/ Google Desktop: http://desktop.google.com/ A lot of people, from the blogosphere to the New York Times, have been writing about the "peak oil" doomsday scenario. Peak oil, Wikipedia teaches us, is the point at which global oil production begins to decrease - oil reserves shrink, oil prices skyrocket to triple-digit dollars per barrel, and civilization as we know it will soon end. Well, not so fast. For one thing, we're nowhere close to depleting the supply. Maclean's, in fact, notes that Alberta is about to become wildly rich, as the high price of oil makes it economical to harvest the province's oil sands. There's enough to supply all of North America for the next 50 years. At prices of approximately $40 per barrel, Alberta will take in around $43 billion per year. Moreover, as Freakonomics makes clear, some things don't change. As prices rise, demand drops. Rather than hopping into the SUV several times a day, people will adapt: consolidate several trips into one; drop the thermostat a few degrees and put on another sweater. And that's the worst-case scenario. If the US actually starts tapping into reserves in the Arctic and off the Pacific coast, all bets are off. Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_oil Maclean's: http://tinyurl.com/cr8rq Freakonomics: http://tinyurl.com/bjuzs A Different Way to Rank Universities The mania to rank universities drives magazine sales, animates parents and students, and agitates university administrators. Most of these surveys aim to help students determine what would be best for them and rank the institutions as if they were products for potential customers. Washington Monthly adopted a different way of looking at American universities. It tested the nation's schools in terms of how well they provide social mobility, produce research and academics relevant to the economy, and encourage an ethic of service. The result was rankings that are decidedly different from those we're used to. Princeton, US News's co-number-one school, fell to 44th place, and many of the best state universities climbed the ranks. It's encouraging to see a novel approach to such rankings and great that institutions with sensible policies they've worked hard to implement are recognized for their efforts. The universities that do well in the Washington Monthly criteria take students from all walks of life and produce graduates who excel in areas that matter to the nation. That has to be good for everybody.http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2005/0509.collegeguide.html As any physicist, mathematician, and computer scientist knows, the arXiv.org archive and its mirrors are, to a pretty good approximation, the repository of all modern scientific knowledge in physics, mathematics, and computer science. All serious research papers in these fields wind up here, long before they're published in the handful of print scientific journals. Modern scientists use the archives to keep track of what's going on in their field, literally up to the minute. Recently arXiv.org has added trackbacks to its archives, meaning that selected online sites can link directly to the papers it hosts. The trackback system has an editorial process in place to weed out spam and crackpot links - hopefully limiting trackbacks to serious scientific sources and qualified individuals. People have for years called on arXiv.org to add some sort of discussion forum that would allow people to discuss the papers. The powers that be have resisted this call, probably a good policy given that forums float a whole raft of management and policy issues. Arxiv.org: http://arxiv.org/ Trackbacks: http://arxiv.org/help/trackback Id Software has released the source code to the best-selling Quake III Arena first-person shooter. The six-year-old game was Id's successful follow-up to its earlier Quake games and is a direct spiritual descendent of the legendary Doom series. The source code can be compiled on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux. The company also released the full suite of Quake development tools including the Q3DRadiant game-map editor. The software is licensed under the GPL. You can find the source on Id's Technology Downloads page, along with the earlier Quake II software. http://www.idsoftware.com/business/techdownloads/ Tim O'Reilly has a thoughtful and sincere discussion of the problems of site advertising on the O'Reilly Radar blog. What makes this striking is that the discussion was prompted by a reader who complained about the ads on some O'Reilly sites. O'Reilly investigated his company's sites and ad policies. Although he says he is still in fact-finding mode, he discusses whether or not selling page rank is a problem and he does it clearly. Even if you care nothing about the issue of advertising, this post is a model of how a firm should respond to a customer's problem. The comments that follow aren't bad either. http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2005/08/search_engine_s_2.html NSF Plans Next-Generation Internet Research Infrastructure If you could redesign the Internet, starting with a blank slate and knowing everything you know now, what would you do? Here's your chance. The National Science Foundation (NSF) is launching a new research program that aims to create the next-generation Internet. The goal of the program, called Global Environment for Networking Investigations (GENI), is twofold. The research component will explore new networking architectures and the applications that can run on top of them. The second component of the plan is a research facility the NSF envisions as a network of machines. The network will serve as a testbed, shared by researchers in a fluid simulation of the new GENI architecture. At the moment, the proposal remains just that - a proposal. It's not clear if there is any funding for this effort just yet.http://www.nsf.gov/cise/geni/ Amazon Shorts has nothing to do with underwear. The online vendor is trying to keep alive the e-book genre by offering short works from top authors for 49 cents a crack. There are no print versions of this short fiction, but you get to keep anything you purchase - in perpetuity. You can save the material, print it, read it any time. Moreover, Amazon Shorts saves a copy in your digital locker, so even if you lose track of it at home, you can retrieve a fresh version. Amazon Shorts has a good line-up of authors, but will it gain traction? An early reader's review seems encouraging. For authors, it's a bit iffier, unless you happen to already own a measure of fame. The jury's still out on that one. If you're an avid reader and can find short stories here from an author you like, 49 cents is a cheap fix. If you're a struggling author, you might want to look carefully before leaping into these waters. http://tinyurl.com/d3u2a Robert Moog, father of modern electronic music and of the eponymous synthesizer company, died last week of brain cancer at 71. Moog's powerful influence can best be seen at Synth Zone, the work of video-game programmer Nigel Spencer. This sprawling place covers in comprehensive fashion pretty much anything to do with making music synthetically, which is a tall order indeed. The site bristles with information about synthesizer resources, software and hardware, and audio and recording technology. If you're not sure what all the fuss is about, the soundtrack from last year's film "Moog", which features some of the best Moog-using bands on the planet, is a good start. It's inexpensive at Amazon.com and is a two-CD set. Moog Music: http://www.moogmusic.com/ Synth Zone: http://www.synthzone.com/ "Moog": http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0002XEDYE/netsurferdigest 2005 Beloit College Mindset List As new students enter college each fall, a professor and administrator at Beloit College publish a list of things that make us feel really, really old. The point is to pointedly remind the faculty about the kind of world each year's freshman crop grew up in. This year's freshmen were born in 1987. This 75-item list features gems like "Wayne Gretzky never played for Edmonton," "Time Life and Warner Communications have always been joined," and "Digital cameras have always existed." Ugh.http://www.beloit.edu/~pubaff/mindset/ Beastie Boys Invite You to Remix The Beastie Boys have found remixing religion. Following in the footsteps of many bands, notably Nine Inch Nails, the Beastie Boys invite you to remix some of their songs. Every Friday, their Web site will offer a new a cappella version of one of their raps. They also encourage you to upload and share your remixes in their forum.http://www.beastieboys.com/remixers.php Wired sees a future for television, and has grouped three relevant articles into a themed feature in its September 2005 issue. Jon Stewart, our favorite news anchor, sees a future for the human race that includes cables emerging from our nether regions. Other articles include a piece on ESPN and the issues surrounding video search. Apparently, the future will bring 500 channels and there just might be something on to watch. At least, your PVR will think so. http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/13.09/ If you don't have enough stuff already, guys, Uncrate is here to help separate you from some cash. You can buy a cow baby bottle (with a three-nippled udder - talk about nipple confusion!) for that someone special in your life. Or you may want a combination mirror/storage unit for around $360. Still got cash? No problem! Buy a T-shirt for $34. Or some cufflinks. Or a stool for $600 - the kind you sit on. Or, or, or! If you're into GQ or Martha Stewart, you'll love the place. http://www.uncrate.com/ ONLINE CULTURE Jeff Jarvis argues that neither the ownership of content nor the ownership of distribution is the key to mindshare today. He makes the case that trust is king, instead. Since anyone can easily create content these days, he puts forth, the value of product has gone down. Distribution cost is rapidly approaching zero - all you really have pay for these days is bandwidth. So what's left? According to Jarvis, what's left is the conversation, the relationship - in short, the trust between producer/distributor and consumer of content. This idea is not entirely original - there are strong overtones of the Cluetrain Manifesto - but Jarvis presents it well and set off a reasonably worthwhile discussion in the comments to the blog entry.http://www.buzzmachine.com/index.php/2005/08/23/who-wants-to-own-content/
SURFING SITES When we saw the DateLance.com URL, we hoped it was a service that let you hire a freelance proxy to go on first dates for you and weed out all the horrific experiences. Unfortunately, it's not that kind of date lance. Instead, it's a clever way for a firm, LogoWorks, to market its values and skillset, while doing a favor for a co-worker who has a really good sense of humor. Any number of expletives would have escaped our reviewer's lips had a billboard been unveiled with her 20-foot-high face declaring that she really needed a date. Lance, a good Mormon boy, with a skillset of basketball and negotiation ("you really want to give me the ball"), just blushes as they do the big reveal - see the Frequently Asked Questions for video of when he first sees the billboard. Of course, the Web site goes hand in hand with that. Connect Magazine and employee Anmaree Osmond reciprocated with their own short-lived DateMeLance.com site and billboard.DateLance.com: http://www.datelance.com/ DateMeLance.com: http://datemelance.com/ ARRSE for the Modern UK Military ARRSE is the British Army Rumour Service, a site that the UK Ministry of Defense most definitely does not endorse. Its purpose is to be a chat room and information source for Her Majesty's troops - and airmen and sailors and marines. The site is an excellent way to find out what's happening wherever the British Army is deployed. It's also a wonderful source of military humor. You just need to dig a bit through the many discussions about world affairs and mundane local topics. There's a job service for troops leaving for civilian life and a store for gear that might not be obtainable through normal channels (no weapons!). Current threads imply that Prince Harry is a frequent visitor and poster. If that's true, he's a smart young man, because this site offers one of the most honest views of the British Army available short of putting on high-tech olive-drab knickers yourself. And it's fun to visit.http://www.arrse.co.uk/ Development of 19th-century Bodybuilding Culture Before Arnold Schwarzenegger and Cory Everson, even before Jack LaLanne, there was Eugen Sandow. He may not have been the first man with six-pack abs, but in 1894 his book on physical training had very little competition. Sandow organized the world's first physique competition in 1901 and continued to produce shows, tours, equipment, and publications for two decades. He promoted home work-out equipment and made exercise popular for all classes of men and women, and became a wealthy man in the process. To document the birth and growth of Sandow's aspiration, Roger Fillary and Gil Waldron have gathered hundreds of books, magazines, ads, and equipment to show what 19th-century bodybuilding gave the world. They have scanned each publication, many of which otherwise sit idle in collections and so are available only on their site, Sandow & the Golden Age of Iron Men. After reading about the early days, click on the portraits to learn more about Sandow's peers. Our favorite is Ottley Coulter and his "How to Perform Strong Man Stunts", which explains how to tear a telephone book in half.http://www.sandowplus.co.uk/ First-Person Accounts of History While eyewitness accounts might not be as accurate as dry, precise, researched history, they are far more interesting to read. Even when inaccurate, first-person accounts let readers into the emotions and motives of the participants and observers. The EyeWitness to History site has collected a vast number of eyewitness accounts to all sorts of events. Most make great reading. Sometimes, the site offers two or more views of a single event and the disparities in the descriptions can amaze you. This is not a primary historical site, but a place to flesh out what the drier histories tell us.http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/ Baseball Bats of the Old-Timers Baseball bats are not what they used to be. As players have gotten bigger, through natural and/or unnatural means, the bats have become smaller. Louisville Slugger, the Indiana company that makes virtually all Major League Baseball's bats, customizes bats for each player's tastes and needs. The company keeps careful records of all its orders. To its credit, it also keeps the old specs of bats made for players long retired, and the files go back to the 1930s. For this ESPN column by Jim Caple, Louisville Slugger replicated the bats of Honus Wagner, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson, Ty Cobb, and Babe Ruth. The bats proved to be longer and much heavier than all models currently in use, steroids or not. Modern players given a chance to handle the ancient models admit they would have a difficult time swinging them at 90-mph fastballs. This fascinating window into baseball history makes you wonder about today's players, and enhances the reputations of the great old batters while casting doubt on some of the great old pitchers.http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=caple/offbase/050726 "Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith" Translated A long time ago, netsurfers far, far apart were bored enough to play a version of broken telephone with online language translators. They take something in English, translate into French, say, and then to German, and back to English, and then giggle for a good ten seconds at the mangled meanings. That's what has happened to this bootleg copy of "Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith". The English dialogue was translated to Chinese, then back to English captions. In translation, the title becomes "Backstroke of the West", and that's just the start of this hilarious report on the bootlegged DVD. It's a sure bet that this will entertain you as much as it did us. A blog hosts the screenshots taken from the DVD and includes occasional commentary, just so you can keep track of what's actually going on. "I was just made by the Presbyterian Church" doesn't seem like a line you'd find in the film, for example. The scores of comments that follow the fun can be quite informative - one explains the Presbyterian line with a cogent linguistic analysis. May the farce be with you.http://americaninlebanon.blogspot.com/2005/07/backstroke-of-west.html Self-anointed "All-Around Site Goddess" April McDevitt became fascinated with ancient Egypt in grade six. She started Ancient Egypt: the Mythology eight years ago to provide detailed and accurate information about the religion of the ancient Egyptians. On that score, the site certainly delivers. From its humble beginning as a community-college project for a class in HTML, the site has evolved into a top-notch reference crammed with salient information pertaining to Egyptian cosmology. Categories include the entire pantheon of Egyptian gods and goddesses, a complete library of Egyptian myths, and a dictionary/crash course geared towards understanding Egyptian hieroglyphics. It's certainly worth a visit and bookmark for anyone even remotely interested in universal myth. http://www.egyptianmyths.net/ Oddly, We've Never Covered Despair Despair, Inc. started as a joke, the cynic's natural response to all the inane motivational merchandise aimed at increasing business productivity. Everyone is eventually exposed to their platitudes and few are affected. Despair works, however, by presenting the working person's reality - much like "Dilbert" does. It's never mean and always funny, and has become so successful, it has grown into this famous Web site and spawned a book. Most of Despair's demotivational slogans are dead accurate. The artwork mimics the same stock junk that the motivators use, but always has a kick of its own. The site motto is "Because we're not satisfied until you're not satisfied", but that's not strictly true. If you buy Despair products, you get excellent service and products. We've bought many holiday gifts here for years. We're not sure why NSD has never shared this important site. Maybe it's the meetings (yeah, right). As Despair says, "None of us is as dumb as all of us." That sums things up nicely.http://www.despair.com/ In the vein of those old Krazy Glue commercials in which a construction worker dangles from a beam held only by the glue on his hat, Loctite's Super Bonder marketing team has glued a monitor to a wall and set up a webcam to allow the wired world to watch it. Furthermore, what's fun is that the monitor is rigged to display text sent to it from the Web site to help prove its veracity. The viewer at home can type something in and watch it on streaming video as the monitor displays that same phrase moments later. The folks responsible call it "the first advertising reality show ever," which implies that "The Apprentice" or even "The Bachelor" wasn't advertising. While those TV shows may not have claimed to be ads, they certainly sold something, be it a brand, a person, or a lifestyle. Regardless, if we ever need to glue a monitor to a wall, we know what glue we're going to use. http://infectous.plugin.com.br/reality/ Vintage Lighters, TVs, and Has He Mentioned His Favorite Food? Kevin collects cigarette lighters. He has posted pictures and descriptions from his tremendous collection ("What was life like before eBay?", he wonders). The photos reveal how impressive the art deco lighters are - they make you long for the days when cigarettes and cigarette lighters were everywhere and cool. Of course, once you remember how stinky the office, or the barbershop, or church was, you lose the nostalgia. Kevin's nostalgia-philia goes further than lighters, though. He also shares his growing collections of antique TVs, antique TV antennas, and 78s. Delve further into his site, and you'll learn his favorite TV shows ("E! True Hollywood Story") and the piece de resistance: his favorite food. What starts out as a nostalgic trip down a long-forgotten smoky lane ends up feeling like a conversation with some guy you meet at a truck stop or on a hiking trail. Some people appreciate those encounters; others don't.http://www.collectorkevin.com/lighters.htm FLOTSAM & JETSAM So What's on a Platinum Record? We've always known that the whole gold/platinum record thing was a little shady. Just how shady is revealed in this story from a guy who actually earned one - well, if you subscribe to RIAA accounting anyway. He took it off the wall and played it. Read on for what he found.http://www.kempa.com/blog/archives/001013.html The Onion reports that creationist scientists have came up with another theory as breathtaking as intelligent design. The theory of intelligent falling explains everything that modern theories of gravity can't. This brilliant, funny satire falls frighteningly close to the mark. http://www.theonion.com/news/index.php?issue=4133&n=2 Jack Handey Has Words for the Martians Jack Handey, in the New Yorker, has a few things to get off his chest, should the Martians ever release him from his cage. That would be a stupid move; they'd do well, in fact, to stay outside bodily-fluid-range of the cage. Even Martians recognize an anger-management problem when they see it.http://www.newyorker.com/shouts/content/articles/050808sh_shouts National flags seem so yesterday in our video-enhanced world. If you're among those who still care about cloth banners, this site is Nirvana. It has illustrations of all national flags, with history and facts. It includes special governmental flags in each nation's entry. The site is pretty and useful. http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/ If Kingons tell fairy tales - and who's to say they don't? - then here are some possible titles. Somehow, the Grimm fairy tales become even grimmer. http://www.mcsweeneys.net/links/lists/22MikeRichardson-Bryan.html As near as we can tell, Black Metal is kind of like Heavy Metal but with goth-wannabe makeup and even sillier lyrics. This is a hilarious compilation of ridiculous pictures of Black Metal acts. The images are so wonderfully over the top. http://ruthlessreviews.com/top10/10blackmetal2.html The artist Coop is best known for his cartoons of voluptuous devil girls. His Four-part blog series takes you through the creation of a painting. Don't look if you're frightened by big, hot-pink boobs. Seriously. There's a surprising revelation about his eyesight at the end. http://positiveapeindex.blogspot.com/2005/08/paintblogging-pt-1.html What if Batman and Robin were gay? These striking watercolors show nothing more explicit than nudity, but artist Mark Chamberlain does add a touch of gay beefcake. Naturally, DC Comics ordered the gallery selling the paintings to cease and desist. Artnet has the story. Chamberlain: http://www.artnet.com/artist/424157172/mark-chamberlain.html Artnet: http://www.artnet.com/magazineus/news/artnetnews/artnetnews8-18-05.asp Flickr lets people tag, meaning categorize, their photos. At FlickrTagFight, you can enter a pair of tags and find out which tags more photos.

Run this quick analysis to find out. The site became so popular, it succumbed for a while to hordes of would-be overdosers hitting the Kill Me button. Make sure to read the caffeine-fuelled comment flame wars. http://www.energyfiend.com/death-by-caffeine/ This clever satire of a modern Engadget blog entry is presented as if it were written in 1985. Love that BBS style! http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000430055334/ SOFTWARE The new revision of the popular Movable Type blogging software offers support for an unlimited number of blogs. Other new features include a vastly simplified installation process, a new framework for managing feedback, the ability to edit trackback lists, and global search and replace. The Movable Type folks link to an older page where where they list their favorite 32 new features. The software is on sale for $30 off until Sept. 30 for the Personal Edition, although the company continues to offer a free version. The professional version costs $69.http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/news/2005/08/movable_type_3_2.html |
