• Tor - Anonymizing Overlay for TCP

    Posted on July 30, 2004

    I’m over at DEFCON listening to a presentation on Tor. The presentation is pretty interesting. The presenter is pretty funny at points. He’s using the term “sending a Guido” to paraphrase strong arming someone into giving you info they don’t want to. It’s an interesting turn of phrase. Plus the... [Read More]

  • HTTP Delta

    Posted on July 27, 2004

    Jeremy Zawodny has a post about RSS scaling problems. Something that came up as a partial solution at one of the blogger meetups was the HTTP delta proposal. It’s specifically meant to address this issues: [Read More]

  • BlogOn Expectations

    Posted on July 24, 2004

    BlogOn was yesterday, and I’ve let the issues percolate for a while before trying to write up what I took out of yesterday’s conference. On the whole there was some interesting discussion, there were definitely interesting people, but I think the conference as a whole was a miss. Why? Cause... [Read More]

  • BlogOn Commentary

    Posted on July 23, 2004

    The first couple of sessions were a bit of a let down actually. There wasn’t much being talked about that stood outside of the normal questions. I can excuse that however. This is “the business of social media”, and it does seem like a much more business focused group than... [Read More]

  • Technorati with CNN at the Democratic National Convention

    Posted on July 22, 2004

    Weinberger picked up the post about Technorati providing blog information during the Democratic National Convention. The story has been picked up and spread all over the place by the blogging “in crowd”, but I figured I would spread it here also cause it seems like I have more of a... [Read More]

  • The State of Mapping

    Posted on July 16, 2004

    infogargoyle has a post about mapmaking, in particular the use of RDF to collaboratively define space. I’m surprized that a strong open source community hasn’t already started to form around mapping for mobile devices. Maybe it has and I just don’t know about it yet? I see projects like OpenGIS...

  • Now That Bluetooth Is Alive, It's Dead Again

    Posted on July 15, 2004

    TheFeature has an article, Now That Bluetooth Is Alive, It’s Dead Again, which is a nice even bit of commentary about Bluetooth. I am actually pretty surprised that Bluetooth sales have picked up the way that they have. I’m a pretty heavy Bluetooth fan I guess. Maybe fan isn’t the... [Read More]

  • Educators Corner

    Posted on July 15, 2004

    At the AlwaysOn conference Tom Byers mentioned the Stanford Technology Ventures Program Educators Corner. The web site has a number of video clips from famous or interesting people in business, talking about the kinds of things they normally talk about at conferences. But you can download them any time and... [Read More]
