Korea
North Korea. Hmm. This reads like a Tom Clancy novel and not a good scenario. North Korea could make a nuke in six months. South Korea is led by a peacenik who has never been outside of Korea. South Koreans distrust the U.S. and think the North Koreas will be enthralled by hugs and kisses.…

LOTR Rantings…
Geek Blog: Two Towers review. I just loved the movie and I’ve read the book. Truth is that I can appreciate both. Someone in the long comment thread says that books are books and movies are movies.

Glogs, Moblogs and Blogs
Joi Ito’s Web: Steve Mann on glogs. Joi Ito points out Steve Mann’s writings on so called glogs. Given digital cameras, I think he means more like mobile photo blogs moplogs??? There really isn’t a good way to point through an article on MovableType, so this is the best way I’ve found.

Yahoo vs. Google
Joi Ito’s Web: Yahoo getting ready to kick Google off portal?. It’s amazing to me to see how Google has managed to overtake Yahoo in the search business. Goes to show that technology can beat raw human power. What has surprised me is that Yahoo has been so slow to react. I’ve noticed for the…

Multiple Windows on One Machine
What a pain it is to have various incompatible versions of Windows around. Although there are an incredible number of compatibility hacks, the fact remains that even in my house, I have at least five programs and a scanner that won’t boot on Windows XP.

Fat Chuck’s – Corrupt CDs News. I hit my first copy protected CD today. It’s SHeDAISY’s Brand New Year and can’t playback on lots of my PC at work, but interestingly does seems to rip OK on a Lite-on CD-RW, so it is not clear where the compatibility is. It is amazing that the record…

The Final Days
Information Letter 14. This memo by John Walker was one of my touchstones more than a decade ago. Written in 1991, it talks about the quaint Eighties.
