Wireless down the road: Wired reports,

A networking tool designed to let soldiers maintain constant communication on the battlefield is being redeployed for a non-military purpose: providing free broadband connections.

The devices, known as MeshBoxes, allow for hundreds of Internet users to share a single broadband connection.

With just five MeshBoxes, the tiny municipality of Kingsbridge, Devon, in western England, was able to provide broadband access to the citizens who live in the center of town. A group of enthusiasts eventually wants to provide all 5,000 of the town's residents with wireless broadband.

Color blender: Cool fun. Input any two colors in hex format (i.e. white is #FFFFFF, black is #000000) and see all the shades you get from blending them, To get a color halfway between them, select one midpoint; to see many shades, just like the samples in the paint store, choose 10 midpoints.

Change one or two or three of the letters and numbers at random to play with colors.

If you want to be more orderly about it, here's a chart of the 216 "safe" colors (in the old days, all browsers could see only these). Here are many, many more colors, not guaranteed to be look like these in all browsers.

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together: (opening line of the Beatles' I Am the Walrus)

Where is Raed? is the name of a blog by someone calling himself Salam Pax who says he lives in Baghdad -- and seems to. (The blogosphere is reasonably certain. I've emailed him, asking how he comes by his perfect English, and will report his answer. But Wired reports that "Iraq now blocks virtually all e-mail originating from U.S. Internet addresses. ")

As he makes preparations for sealing a room against biological and chemical agents, and bemoans that paraffin seems to have vanished from Iraq, he finds a better solution on the blog of Imshin, who describes herself as "your regular split personality Israeli mother trying to make sense of current insanity." Her motto is "this too shall pass."

After which, Pax comments, "(OK, so I am not sure how the proprietors of that site will react if they know an Iraqi is finding their information very useful)." The site is the Home Front Command of the Israeli Defense Forces.

Imshin replies,

Similar worries
Salam, whose blog I’ve been having difficulty accessing all day, found the IDF's Home Front Command webpage through me and has found it helpful. I’m very moved by this. I hope he manages to implement some of the suggestions. And I hope neither our families need to make use of them.

He wonders “how the proprietors of that site will react if they know an Iraqi is finding their information very useful”. Well, Salam, if they knew what use you were going to make of the information, I am absolutely convinced that they would be just as moved as I am.

It makes me sad that Salam's source for information on how to protect his family and himself in the coming war should be a site set up by the military of a country that his country sees as its enemy.

It's sad, but it also gives me hope.

Diane suggests that Israelis and Iraqis have quite a lot in common these days, on a day-to-day level.

I don’t think of the people of Iraq as my enemies. For me, Iraq and Baghdad have a strangely familiar air to them. I feel as if I have memories of Baghdad, which is weird considering I’ve never been there. It was a romantic childhood fantasy of mine, in a time before the late Egyptian president Anwar Sadat visited Jerusalem and before peace with any Arab country seemed even a remote possibility, that I would one day visit Baghdad...

Today, Imshin points to a Buddhist blog, Beneath Buddha's Eyes, with a post titled The Way To Change The World Is To Change Ourselves. An excerpt:

Talking about peace or, especially, SHOUTING about peace has the exact opposite effect. It is angering the other half of the world, the half that believes in war. So there you have the two sides it takes to create another war—one against another—ready to fight!

And Pax, in Baghdad, writes,

Imshin I hope you and your family will be safe. These days I keep thinking of the lines anya has sent me earlier:

We are playthings in the hands of time
Dancing to music that is not our own.

I have so little control over my life these days let alone understanding where the world is heading to. I hope we all be spared any unnecessary grief.

Good luck to all of us.

Red alert on the way? I saw a red-white-and-blue-bunting bumper sticker on a restaurant door in Matlacha, Fla., last week that read,

Love my country
----------------------------
Fear my government

I thought of it today when I got an email from Kevin Hayden, another member of the generation that came of age in the Vietnam era, and came away with a lifelong mistrust of government. Today in his blog -- The ReachM High Cowboy Network Noose -- Hayden writes,

And I knew two weeks ago that now, within the next 48 hours, odds are good we'll get a new red alert.

Here's why.

Related: Suit by soldiers' parents, congressmen challenges Bush war authority.

The Congressional authority to go to war brings back '60s memories, too: President Lyndon Johnson used the Gulf of Tonkin resolution as the constititutional authority for the Vietnam war. Here's the Guardian this week on Daniel Ellsberg's memoir of that era:

His first full day at the Pentagon was 4 August 1964, the day the destroyer USS Maddox sent flash dispatches to Washington from the Gulf of Tonkin saying that it was 'under continuous torpedo attack'. President Johnson went on television to tell the nation that the ship was on a 'routine patrol in international waters', that the attack was 'unprovoked', and that the US was the victim of a 'deliberate pattern of naked aggression'. Johnson ordered the carrier USS Ticonderoga to launch air strikes against North Vietnam. On 7 August, by a vote of 416 to 0 in the House of Representatives and 88 to 2 in the Senate, Congress approved the Tonkin Gulf Resolution, setting the United States on a path to full-scale war against North Vietnam.

And yet, Ellsberg writes, 'I was learning from cables, reports and discussions in the Pentagon the background that gave the lie to virtually everything told both to the public and more elaborately to Congress in secret session.' The Vietnamese attack, if it had actually occurred at all, was assuredly provoked. The Maddox had been on a secret mission well inside Vietnamese territorial waters. The highest ranking officials of the US Government had approved the mission in advance. The director of Central Intelligence, John McCone, told the President that the North Vietnamese were 'reacting defensively'. Nonetheless, Johnson personally lied to Senator William Fulbright, the highly respected chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, in order to get him to sponsor the Tonkin Gulf Resolution in Congress.

Bin Laden hijacks Iraqi crisis for Islamist cause: Interesting perspective from a Reuters journalist in Dubai begins,

Osama bin Laden's dramatic intervention in the Iraqi crisis is an attempt to harness the wave of hostility which he hopes a U.S. war on Iraq will unleash throughout the Arab and Muslim world, analysts say.

By stressing his solidarity with the Iraqi people, rather than with the "apostate regime" of Saddam Hussein, bin Laden hopes to attract the support of both moderate and radical Muslims for his Islamist agenda, they added.

Creating a Culture of Ideas: By Nicholas Negroponte at MIT Tech Review.

Innovation is inefficient. More often than not, it is undisciplined, contrarian, and iconoclastic; and it nourishes itself with confusion and contradiction. In short, being innovative flies in the face of what almost all parents want for their children, most CEOs want for their companies, and heads of states want for their countries. And innovative people are a pain in the ass.

Yet without innovation we are doomed—by boredom and monotony—to decline. So what makes innovation happen, and just where do new ideas come from?

The Marrow of the Bone of Contention: A Barbecue Journal. Jake Adam York takes the grand tour for storySouth. In Memphis, at the Cozy Corner, he meets barbecue spaghetti:

But the curious highlight was the spaghetti, of which I was initially skeptical. Quite simply, this was large vermicelli, cooked well past al dente (but not mushy at all) and sauced with the Cozy Corner formula we’d enjoyed on the ribs. I tasted out of pure curiosity, but I finished the cup with sincere fascination. My kitchen is no stranger to the outré (home as it is to the crawfish-jambalaya pizza), and my tongue will never be accused of xenophobia, but as I was waiting for the meal to arrive, and as I savored my sandwich and ribs, I misjudged, misimagined this dish. Now I can’t imagine a world without it. As we drove out of the Delta, into the swamps and piney-woods of north Mississippi, I harbored a new hope that width of my faith might find serious purchase among my fellows at the Foodways symposium. I had no idea….

Exit Havel: In the New Yorker, a lively ode to departing Czech president Vaclav Havel. Here's a sample:

During the uprising, which quickly became known as the Velvet Revolution, and for a while afterward, there were graffiti around town proclaiming, "Havel je král"—"Havel Is King." The King tried to demystify his Castle. He ordered the costume designer for the movie "Amadeus" to create red-white-and-blue uniforms for the palace guards. (Communist-era guards wore khaki.) He himself at first refused the suits that his friend Prince Karel Schwarzenberg brought him. "I can't wear any of these!" Havel said. "I'd look like a gigolo." In jeans and sweater, he rode a scooter through the Castle halls. He threw a "festival of democracy" in the courtyards, with jugglers and mimes performing while he wandered around drinking Pilsner and greeting everyone. Later on, when he discovered that the chandeliers in the gilded Spanish Hall were outmoded, a couple of typical visitors, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, paid for new fixtures. For weeks, he drove his staff crazy as he monkeyed around with the remote control, dimming the lights, then brightening them again.

Here's Broadband in Your Pocket: Wired reports,

Australian researchers unveiled a chip that lets cell-phone users receive high-quality face-to-face video and other streaming media at rates faster than a home broadband connection.

Developed at Bell Labs in Australia, the chip works on a next-generation cell-phone network like the one powering the Sprint PCS Vision service and can run programs at up to 24 megabits per second -- almost 20 times faster than a traditional T1 line.

The "turbo decoder chip," which is available for a licensing fee, lets users of any wireless device on a 3G network conduct video teleconferences, tap into corporate data behind a company firewall, and send and receive multimedia applications like MP3 tunes, video clips and PowerPoint presentations.

Lollapalooza set to return after six-year hiatus: Reuters reports,

Six years after the Lollapalooza traveling music festival played its last note, some of the top names in rock will hit the road for a new version this summer, organizers said Monday.

Lollapalooza will be headlined by Jane's Addiction -- the alternative rock quartet who conceived the event in 1991 as a way to mark its brief swan song -- and emerging acts Audioslave, Incubus, Queens of the Stone Age and Jurassic 5.

No sign of a Rhode island show in the cities list at the lollapalooza 2003 site, though.

Grass art: By controlling the amount of light selected areas of grass seed receive, patterns can be induced; the artists, Heather Ackroyd and Dan Harvey, call it Photographic Photosynthesis Work.

Working on the principle of denying light to areas of growing grass, the tiger striped effect was achieved by a stencilling method. Where the light fell, the grass produced chlorophyll, where it remained in shade it stayed a bright yellow colour.

The Ephemera Society of America:

Ephemera is a term used to embrace a wide range of minor, everyday documents, most intended for one-time or short-term use, including Cameo postcards, broadsides and posters, baseball cards, tickets, bookmarks, photographs-and the list goes on. Collecting ephemera has been an ardent pursuit for Cardcenturies. In the Victorian era, especially, collecting trade cards, greeting cards, and chromolithographs for pasting into scrap albums was a popular pastime for both young and old. Today as in years past, items from earlier times that have somehow survived to delight, our eyes, feed our minds, and offer unique windows into our ancestors' lives interest us as collectors.

Hernry Gould decides: Wavering, seeing both sides yesterday, unwilling to fall into lockstep conformity with fellow poets, the Rhode Island poet concludes,

. . . but then I think again. Of the dying & suffering. Of the permanent residue of pain & illness & bitterness.

Of the disconnect between the culture & mentality of the hawks, and the lessons they should have learned from the 20th century. Not only the lesson of "standing up to evildoers" : the lesson of the desolation & madness of war & militarism.

I see the logic of preventive action. But I see the greater logic of never being the aggressor. That's why the case for preventive action would have to be very strong and crystal-clear. Which is why it would be better to accept the European proposal of steadily increased inspection pressure.

I wish I could see more clearly. I see both sides, unlike many of my fellow poets, & I'm wavering.

It's an ongoing discussion.

Sales tax blues: Combined with shipping charges, the sales tax some web retailers are voluntarily adding to purchases may eventually make online shopping less attractive. Its a wonderful opening for local retailers, who in many cases would have gotten my business had i known they stocked the product I wanted.

It is extremely inefficient to drive around from retailer to retailer looking for a specific size, model, or hoping to spot something suitable. Inventories are computerized; it's not a huge leap to product photographs, as many online retailers have already demonstrated.

Show me what you have, Rhode island retailers. I'll drive there, pick it up, have it the same day; no waiting for delivery, no shipping charges -- and you might even have it on sale.

Feb. 10, 2003

Back from vacation in South Florida. The best part was seeing flowers again, everywhere. It wasn't especially sunny, and never hot, but wearing short sleeves, letting skin see sun, was great.

So was running into former Rhode Islander Jim Champlin in Bert's Bar in Matlacha, on the west coast. Jim sold Champlin's seafood restaurant in Galilee a dozen years ago, and sails the Gulf now.

Airlines don't feed you any more, so we brought our own peanuts. We actually burst out laughing on the last leg of the flight home -- Philadelphia to Providence -- when US Airways' hospitality was limited to "Coke, Sprite or water."

For us, the temperature dropped 60 degrees in 7 hours. But we're here now, and of course it's snowing.

Today's blog will be brief, in part because of the thousands of emails I'm plowing through. Except for CNN in restaurants, bars and airports, we've been on a news fast. And my feet are not quite back on the ground yet.

Poets grapple with war and paradox: Providence poet Henry Gould leads his blog with,

...The past few weeks I've really begun to question my own capacity to think rationally, because I find myself tempted to take stands on the Iraq crisis which amaze me, which I can't believe I believe in, which I don't completely believe. That is, I'm tempted to argue FOR war (and marshal those arguments on my blog). Why?

1. For the hell of it. For the curiosity of it. Because Saddam has it coming.
2. Because all the poets seem to be marching lockstep, of one mind. I have a reflexive need to differ (learned in the Poetry Wars). I question some of the self-righteousness of those who are always ready to impugn the motives of the ones they disagree with (ie. perhaps it's not just "oil profiteering by Bush & Co.").
3. Because over the years, without even being aware of it, I've become complacent or conformist - I simply don't want to believe what's happening to my government & my country, I close my eyes.
4. Because I can't completely discount the arguments for attacking Saddam either. In the post-9/11 world, I can entertain serious justifications for a pre-emptive strike, if the claims being made about Saddam's aims & capabilities are really true.
5. Because I'm having a failure of imagination : failing to consider the real alternatives to attack; failing to reckon the carnage & suffering war will bring; being naive about the mentality of those promoting this war.

I'm having difficulty with this. . .

Related: Poets for Peace, a portal publishing poems, links and essays. Here's how a piece by Dr. Charlie Clements (no permalinks, scroll down) of Veterans for Peace begins,

I am a public health physician and a human rights advocate. I have just returned from a 10-day emergency mission to Iraq to assess the vulnerability of the civilian population to another war. I'm also a distinguished graduate of the USAF Academy and a Vietnam veteran, so I have some sense of the potential consequences of the air war we are about to unleash on Iraq as a prelude to the introduction of American troops.

After documenting much of what he saw, and what Iraqis are undergoing, he grapples, and concludes,

Saddam is a monster, there is no doubt about that. He needs to be contained and many former U.N. weapons inspectors feel he has been 'defanged.' His neighbors do not fear him any longer. There are many Iraqis who want him removed but not by a U.S. war. We may be unleashing forces of hatred and resentment that will haunt us for decades in every corner of the world. I can just hear Osama Bin Laden now "please President Bush, there's nothing better you could do to help the cause of Al Qaida!"

For a vast number of poets, Feb. 12 is the National Day of Poetry Against the War. 5,300 poets are now in the database at poetsagainstthewar.org, Sam Hamill's site that led this blog before I left for vacation. Here's the list.

Stonehenge 'King' Came from Central Europe: Reuters reports,

The construction of one of Britain's most famous ancient landmarks, the towering megaliths at Stonehenge in southern England, might have been supervised by the Swiss, or maybe even the Germans. Archaeologists studying the remains of a wealthy archer found in a 4,000-year-old grave exhumed near Stonehenge last year said Monday he was originally from the Alps region, probably modern-day Switzerland, Austria or Germany.

The so-called "Amesbury Archer" was found in a grave about three miles from the landmark, buried with 100 items, including gold earrings, copper knives and pottery.

Researchers hailed the find -- dating from about 2,300 B.C. and the oldest known grave in Britain -- as one of the richest early Bronze Age sites in Europe.

He was dubbed "The King of Stonehenge" because of the lavish items found in his grave, including some of the earliest gold objects ever found in Britain.

It was tests on the enamel of his teeth that revealed he was born and grew up in the Alps region.

"Different ratios of oxygen isotopes form on teeth in different parts of the world and the ratio found on these teeth prove they were from somebody from the Alps region," said Tony Trueman from Wessex Archaeology.
