• Creative Commons Discussion

    Posted on February 27, 2004

    There’s a discussion of Creative Commons and some arguments against it that Lessig wrote about in his blog. The discussion about Creative Commons itself is interesting. I come down very strongly on the “CC is good” side of the discussion. Some of the cypherpunks seem to be arguing that CC... [Read More]

  • Peters on Offshoring

    Posted on February 27, 2004

    Tom Peters has some points about offshoring up on his site. I agree with a lot of the points there. One of the ones that I like the most: [Read More]

  • Shared Worlds

    Posted on February 23, 2004

    I’m visiting with some friends down in Austin. They’re big gamers, and into MMORPG in general. MMORPG stands for Massively Muliplayer Online Role Playing Game, and games like Ultima Online, The Sims, and Asheron’s Call fall into this category. They’re games which allow many people to participate in a shared... [Read More]

  • MyLifeBits

    Posted on February 20, 2004

    Last night I went to a presentation by Gordon Bell at PARC. The topic of the presentation was a project called MyLifeBits, which aims to be an implementation of the Memex system originally conceived by Vannevar Bush decades ago. It certainly seems like an interesting project, despite being run under... [Read More]

  • Lessig on Free Culture

    Posted on February 19, 2004

    I just got done witnessing my first presentation by Larry Lessig. That was really quite interesting. Not only was the topic engaging, and the commentary insightful, but the format of his presentation was great. I had seen posts about the “Lessig Style” of presentation before, but hearing about it is... [Read More]

  • Mostly Lisp Blog

    Posted on February 19, 2004

    I ran across the blog LEMONODOR, which has lots of info about the Lisp programming lanauge. Most of it is stuff I imagine I would never run across otherwise, and I have been trying to learn Scheme well enough that I can use LispME on my Palm to do small... [Read More]

  • Gordon Bell Tonight

    Posted on February 19, 2004

    A reminder to those in the Silicon Valley area, Gordon Bell is speaking at PARC tonight about a project to catalog and search enable all aspects of his life. Sounds pretty cool.

  • Implications of Increased Mobile Storage

    Posted on February 19, 2004

    An article over at The Feature talks about some of the implications of storage getting larger in capacity and smaller in size and power consumption. Although there might be some technical errors (for instance, the original Palms didn’t use flash memory, but low consumption battery backed RAM) I think the... [Read More]

    A post by Justin Hall over at The Feature does a very good job of summarizing the impression of ETech that I got. Justin says: [Read More]

  • PalmHTTP 2.1

    Posted on February 17, 2004

    Posted a minor update to PalmHTTP today. The 2.0 version generated warning messages when run under POSE with all debugging enabled, this adds a missing call that keeps that error from popping up.
