- Headbands and Boat Demands (Sat, 17 Sep 2011 17:30:53 -0700)
The 35th Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival is in the books, and with it, the Summer sailing season has passed. Belatedly, I am turning to the always-overdue tasks of varnishing. I am out of what my dockmate descibes as 'sanding... - Godspeed, Budster (Wed, 27 Jul 2011 09:41:57 -0700)
Buddy died in his sleep this morning. Buddy's greatest attractors as a rescued-dog were that he was housebroken and calm. Well, there were his eyes, and silken hair, as well. But as a family who had planned so poorly as... - Theft in the Digital Academy? Aaron Swartz Arrested (Thu, 21 Jul 2011 11:46:18 -0700)
The music industry has been the harbinger of changing ethical norms in the online world for a long time, mostly because it was the first of the mass media for which the online experience was of sufficiently high quality that... - Aspirations (Fri, 15 Jul 2011 20:58:50 -0700)
I had a long conversation with my mother this week, and in an eliptical way, we arrived at What She Wanted from Life. Note that my mother is soon to be 88 (a very special age in Japan, but I... - DCMI YOUsers (Tue, 12 Jul 2011 08:22:42 -0700)
The new management team for DCMI has been announced, marking the end of the leadership of Makx Dekkers in the Initiative, and the beginning of the tenure of Stuart Sutton. I represented the DC Advisory Board in this process, and... - A Note of CyNNicism (Wed, 15 Jun 2011 18:53:05 -0700)
I'm leaving Japan today, after a three month stay that has been a truly extraordinary experience. The title of this post has nothing at all to do with that experience, except that I stayed at the hotel near Tsukuba Station... - 100 Books (Wed, 15 Jun 2011 05:27:52 -0700)
Via @james3neal in my Twitter feed: The Guardian's list of 100 greatest non-fiction books. We love these lists, probably because they incite us to challenge them and think of the alternatives, and the Guardian at least is up front in... - Library Robotics (Thu, 09 Jun 2011 22:54:00 -0700)
Japan, more than most places, enjoys a cultural fascination, and even comfort, with robots. The home of Astroboy and Mobile Suit Gundam is a fertile place for both imagination and innovation in robotics (try this YouTube video at home for... - Uncommon Cause: Schema.org and the Semantic Web (Tue, 07 Jun 2011 21:13:56 -0700)
Like many others, I view the emergence of schema.org with a jaundiced eye... another example of large, powerful companies wielding their influence without regard to an open standards process. This particular case is interesting because it brings together the arch-rivals... - Apple Polishing (Mon, 06 Jun 2011 18:07:35 -0700)
Apple's WWDC (World Wide Developer's Conference) keynote was an interesting show with lots of small, and a few major, announcements about the upcoming operating systems (Lion and iOS 5) and Apple's foray into serious cloud computing. I watched live blogging...
